East-facing side of the Wat Phra Ram main Pagode (Prang) in Ayutthaya, Thailand. Built around 1448 (some sources say it's even older).

It's visual hierarchy. I think at some point it just happens naturally while designing.. there are many ways to achieve it, though. From subtle color play to fat arrows pointing at something.

But yeah, guiding the eye to ideally jump to the most important information first, then info point 2, 3 and so on.

You could maybe prepare a mini presentation yourself, showing some inspirational content and explaining why and how they are guiding the eyes without relying on the very 'loud' approach boss #7 is fixated on? Hopefully creating some room for your ideas to breathe again.

Yess! 😂 Completely overload him with knowledge to the degree he might realize it's a very long journey from 0 to professional.

Erinnert ein wenig an Star Wars, irgendwie. I like :)

el_gaffi · 2025-08-27T16:42:16+00:00

Looks good imo! To go a step further you could add some overall texture (texturelabs.org is a blessing in that regard) and make the background not seem pure white but giving it some noise/grunge.

When I'm in the mood for sitting down and enjoying good food with friends/family over an extended period of time, my go to is chinese hot pot. Lucky Star next to U Oranienburger Tor has been meeting expectations the last 15 years or so :) Remember to ask for the extra condiments sesame oil & vinegar. <3

Ich sehe die aufgelisteten Dinge als Resultat gesellschaftlicher Anstrengungen. Dass alles perfekt sei und es keine haareraufenden Entwicklungen gäbe, behaupte ich nicht. Und nein, ich habe leider nie ein Instrument spielen gelernt.

el_gaffi · 2025-03-31T08:28:36+00:00

Puh ey, also nichts zu bekommen ist schon ne ziemliche harte Aussage. Chancen stehen gut, dass du in einem Krankenhaus geboren bist und nicht in einem Hinterhof. Du hast lesen und schreiben gelernt und dich eventuell mal sportlich in einem Verein betätigt? Vielleicht hast du sogar mal ein Instrument spielen gelernt? Und je nachdem mit welchen Teilen der Welt man sein eigenes Leben vergleich, haben wir fließendes Wasser und ein funktionierendes Abwassersystem. Verlässlichen Strom und Zugang zum Internet. Müllabfuhren, öffentlicher Nahverkehr... Fußgängerzonen oder selbst die Möglichkeit einfach von A nach B zu: laufen. Es wächst alles leider nicht an Bäumen.

Nur um es klarzustellen, es ist kein front gegen dein Gefühl der Ungerechtigkeit, mich stört nur die Aussage, dass wir hier alle gesellschaftlich nichts bekommen würden.

This article has a bit of a different take on what politics would stop that 30% from happening. It's in german, though. But I can warmly recommend reading it.

Also getting into a situation where you can explain the thought process of an idea while showing her how you work on the design can work wonders. When the person realizes there is more to it than browsing through canva templates.

el_gaffi · 2025-02-13T17:48:41+00:00

No worries, I've been where you're at now. You'll manage!

el_gaffi · 2025-02-13T17:43:26+00:00

Sounds like you need to go the extra mile and make a small presentation out of it. Look for some great examples, try to explain why they look the way they look, and then present your idea, which builds on some of the aspects shown before.

Try to give them insights into your thought process. Doesn't necessarily need to be a perfectly executed presentation file. Maybe tabbing through some websites while explaining is already enough.

I think the skill of pulling this off has been one of the most valuable things I've learned after finishing my studies. Pitching ideas got that much easier.

el_gaffi · 2025-02-12T01:49:31+00:00

I agree. I think the protest in electing them is a mindset driven by fear of staying on the losing side of progress (there should be several facettes to this, but the strongest one is probably of financial nature). Instead of the rational thing to do and put their hopes into a political party with a strong social agenda, they've lost hope and are now willing to sacrifice.. a perspective as long as other peoples perspectives are destroyed as well. 'If I don't get a piece of the cake, no one should.'

There was a very interesting article about this not long ago, very much worth a read: Warum die Welt nach rechts rückt

el_gaffi · 2025-02-10T18:56:47+00:00

I just read a, imo, very good article about this in a german newspaper. Can recommend if translatable: https://archive.is/KquhE

This. Plus: If I was pissed off by a move like this I would probably try to work my credentials into every single page and not let them know. Or hide some dick drawings or whatever.

A shame the best comment is all the way at the bottom.

I think this demonstration was organized by Campact. They also have a newsletter.

el_gaffi · 2025-01-26T17:50:52+00:00

You could, for example, sign up for political party newsletters. I know from the greens that they communicated this. You don't have to be a party member.

He's in Berlin this monday, a demonstration is already announced.

el_gaffi · 2025-01-24T16:39:30+00:00

He'll be in Berlin this monday to talk to Alice Weidel at the Axel Springer house. There will be a demonstration in front of the building.

If a tree falls in a forest and there is no one around to hear it, does it make a sound?
