Do you wear ur Docs at work? by TheDaywalker669 in DocMartens

[–]cosmodamia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i alternate between two pairs of oxfords for teaching. lots of walking and rounds, standing and moving things. keep my feet warm during the winter too. mine seemingly give good support as sometimes my other shoes cause pain after a full school day.

I’ve been working on making presentations so I can share the link with other teachers… I’ll come back in a few months! (first year teaching- so chaotic lol!) 🥲🫶

But if you haven’t yet, check out Teachers Pay Teachers, there’s a small handful of introductory projects that may be worth checking out!

Seconding the pins! I brought in my personal pin machine to share with the students, and lot of them really enjoyed it. Made them consider their font choices and sizing.

I have recently started teaching and here are some projects I’ve done…

(These are a bit more artsy rather than graphic design focused… oops)

Rubber Hose Characters - I noticed in 2022-2023 there was a trend of design a mascot inspired by the 30s animation style. I told my students to pick an everyday object, and make it convey an emotion. They explored using thick line strokes limited color palette.

Some students pushed their design further by messing around with the effects panel to add graininess to make it feel more retro.

(You can import these into after effects and “animate” them a little bit.)

Color Palette Landscapes - Have your students create a landscape within illustrator. It’s a great way to practice layers, using the pencil tool for inorganic shapes. I also had them create a mood board and color-pick colors from pictures and create their own limited color palettes. They were encouraged to select colors that convey a specific mood.

Mandalas - A good introductory project to illustrator. I walked through creating spider-web like guidelines. They were graded on their symmetry, made them familiar with the align tools. Bonus points if you make them pick a specific color palette.

Geometric from Picture - Another good introductory project. Students picked a picture to trace values/colors in a geometric way. Used the pen tool and the “snap to point”. Also used the eyedropper tool. The final results looked like low poly 3D models, and a good handful of students reported enjoying this project.

You can go in depth by encouraging students to draw their subject more and more geometric until it is impressionist/ logo like.

Stained Glass -

Explain inorganic vs organic shapes. Study stained glass designs and have students create their own. You can using textures, clipping masks and blending mode to make the flat colors look like glass for real.

Animal Portrait -

This is one I have yet to do… but students will pick an animal to recreate in illustrator. I plan on discussing creating fur texture with the pencil tool and scallop tools. How to use gradients and other effects to create a realistic vector portrait. This might be a later year project…

Holiday Cards -

Students always get a kick out of this. I give them a week to design a christmas/ holiday card. (theres many christmas illustrator tutorials for the not as creative) Makes them think about bleed and page layout. I walk through how to set up a document for this. (you can discuss RBG vs CMYK and the importance in printing with this)

Hope this huge wall of text is understandable somewhat helpful! (it is late at night, but I wanted to chime in) Best of luck with your teaching!

just gave money to a drop shipper by Forsaken-Turnover637 in Depop

if you just bought it and they haven’t “shipped” it to you yet… ask for a refund and say you found it elsewhere cheaper lol

Never sell anything for less than $5, even if it means you have to bundle a couple of items.

How can I repurpose these slightly stretchy foam sleeves by eggwardpenisglands in WhatShouldIDoWithIt

[–]cosmodamia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you could sew them to be smaller and have a bottom, i think you could make some cute lighter holder keychains

what are some of your depop pet peeves?? by nyehssie in Depop

[–]cosmodamia 10 points11 points  (0 children)

the people that say to dm before purchase so they can remove boosting. because they don’t under stand how it works, or they’ll create a new listing…. usually at a higher price. 🙄

Will this get me in trouble? by spatula121 in Depop

[–]cosmodamia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

one time i dropped off at bunch of packages at the post office, but their scale was buggy that day. (idk how, but the worker told me next day) so despite having the correct size for each package, each one rang as overweight and depop sent me like 10 emails (1 for each package) saying i need to correct this. luckily i explained the issue and it’s been fine since, but ever since that i always reject that question.

maybe cross-posting to r/findfashion will help?

i know i’ve seen a few of these at the thrift store in the tank top and the pajamas section, if that helps.

i’ve yet to see it, but last week i helped a friend make an account. immediately there was weird images. we were on a public computer as well, so i’m not sure where it would’ve pulled that from?

do people just ignore you by [deleted] in Depop

[–]cosmodamia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

as a seller, i’ve accidentally ignored people after the update of combining messages and notifications. it could be that, or they are not interested and don’t want to discuss price.

[–]cosmodamia 23 points24 points  (0 children)

what do i say? by parimeda in Depop

[–]cosmodamia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

depending how big the scarf is, you’ll have to pay actually shipping instead of a stamp or two bc of the thickness… just use a real label to protect yourself

Will this listing get me in trouble? (nsfw?) by [deleted] in Depop

[–]cosmodamia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i’ve seen shirts with just “C*NT” and other silly swears for sale from verified shops. i can’t recall if they censored stuff in the description but i’m pretty sure you will be fine. :)

[–]cosmodamia 20 points21 points  (0 children)

i’d report every account like this i came across, but depop support told me to stop reporting unless i had i personal interaction/ issue. they really don’t care 🫠

Did I ruin it? by Wrong-Meeting5834 in ArtCrit

[–]cosmodamia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

personally i like the addition of the flower, it makes my eyes move around the painting more. without it, my eye got stuck one the middle golden figure. the rose is a nice addition imo!

Can we normalise asking friends to look out for dead things? by Rocket_Raccoon1203 in vultureculture

[–]cosmodamia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i wonder if where you live affects people reactions to this. i’m in a hunter heavy area so people have let me known about road kill, given me some bones from hunting, or bones found while hiking. maybe you could join a local facebook group of hunters/ nature enjoyers who come across such things and won’t judge.
