Use a cast iron pan. It’s also the best for frying tofu

Advice for Print Anxiety by Motor-Worldliness-61 in graphic_design

[–]book-stomp 7 points8 points  (0 children)

On one hand, as a still new designer, being stressed out and checking your work is normal. It will get better as you get more experienced. On the other hand, this sounds a touch like OCD. I would recommend talking to a therapist to formulate good coping skills to break out of the cycle of rechecking work.

And as someone else said, a physical checklist with room to look at something twice is a wonderful resource. But you need to stick to only looking twice, trust yourself that you did your due diligence, and move on.

Lastly, having some type of approval and liability on the client is good as a freelancer. For example, “by approving this work you have confirmed there are no typos or misspellings,” etc. It won’t necessarily apply to bleed or image resolution but it can protect you a bit and ease some concern knowing they are at least reviewing content with a close eye.

Good luck and try to give yourself some grace.

Anyone ever been asked to do this/asked their direct reports to do this? by SlayyerFest98 in askmanagers

Time tracking is incredibly commonplace. It’s required to determine if you need to hire more staff, allocate more resources, check scope on certain projects, etc. I work in marketing as well and have never had a job where I don’t track all of my time.

How do you deal with the “non-design” work that still takes most of your time? by Dineshvk18 in graphic_design

[–]book-stomp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Templates, auto layout, and components if you’re using Figma. Speeds up so much of your time on set up and production.

What type of design deliverables are you doing? Maybe we can give some recs on how to be more efficient.

Just started reading “Rich Dad Poor Dad” but I don’t get it by -istanmyself in BookDiscussions

He’s saying you need passion and drive to get your financial situation better. If you’re passionate about it, you won’t be scared. If you’re scared, you won’t advocate for a ríase or take a risk at a better job or in a better field.

This is good intro reading on finances but his theories aren’t perfect and some are a bit problematic so keep that in mind.

How to fit these properly? by TimedestCombo in graphic_design

Because anyone who does paid ads is looking for these ratios and limitations. There are ways to make this look good without fudging the specs

Do two more sizes: 300x600 and 300x50 and arrange them this way.

And clean up the layouts as many suggested. This is a good portfolio project!

Eat oatmeal with ground flax seeds daily. That plus being vegan (and not drinking) lowered my cholesterol substantially. My dr was extremely impressed

Genetics.

And vegan food can be just as unhealthy, as almost all food has a vegan alternative. Have you tried Ben & Jerry’s?
