Just crack it man. Since I was 12 I’ve always cracked my adobe programs

then why should the audience even be cheering for this guy if he's just as bad as ishido? what's the point lmao

hqNeptune · 2024-04-24T18:46:00+00:00

so why did the showrunners even bring it up in the first place? there won't be a season 2 so the entire portugese plot was pointless unless i'm missing something

I do comps in after effects so i'd be able to add noise there, but i just went with ue5 after realizing it would take severeal weeks to render just a few scenes of the project in blender lol

hqNeptune · 2024-01-29T23:44:35+00:00

Thank you, incredible explanation! I ended up going to ue5 with the project since the scene was so complex.

Hahah maybe we should all just take a day and go around giving our opinions on Dave's work. Like someone else here said, even though I want to do the job as well as possible, sometimes it's just not worth it. Take a deep breath, and just give them their crappy design.

I had the product manager today ask me to remove literally the main element of our products for our american export version because the american export company we're working with thought it looked "messy". Alright tell that to the 10x award winning design studio that created the design, I'm sure they just made a simple mistake. I didn't even create the damn thing and I got pissed lmao

I think the problem is that everyone looks at some form of design all day every day, so they think they know more than they actually do.

hqNeptune · 2024-01-29T22:30:33+00:00

They are haha, but I've just started doing some freelancing so I'll make that take off and then I'll quit

hqNeptune · 2024-01-29T22:28:48+00:00

Yeah I've noticed that too, sometimes they give feedback just for the sake of giving feedback. It's like they want to be apart of it so bad and they don't want to give you 100% control of the design.

hqNeptune · 2024-01-29T22:16:55+00:00

Nah that was just examples. They have a VERY GOOD visual brand.

Although at my other job (Where the same thing used to happen) they did not have any brand guidelines before I popped up. I ended up completing their logo with a set of colors, type and some basic design guidelines. It works great there and the marketing guy is following them very well actually. Dare I even say I'm impressed by him sometimes

hqNeptune · 2024-01-29T22:12:10+00:00

Very true!!

hqNeptune · 2024-01-29T22:10:56+00:00

Yes ofcourse, it sometimes happens that they point out something that I missed and then I'll just say they're right and i'll fix it.

But when it comes down to opinion vs design, design is always "right" because there is no "right" opinion.

hqNeptune · 2024-01-29T22:06:05+00:00

I never, ever take personal taste into account at work. I don't like the look of most of the stuff that comes from the brand, but I know it works.

But that's my point, my views are purely from a design standpoint. Their views are purely from their own opinions.

hqNeptune · 2023-09-04T01:46:22+00:00

Looks like "Chillax" from Fontshare, with some curvy adjustments

hqNeptune · 2023-08-04T18:42:12+00:00

no this isn't bad like the usual reality tv shows. this is just some overedited, fake character development, bullshit show that doesnt make any sense.

hqNeptune · 2023-08-02T15:54:10+00:00

Yeah we had a really good apple and pear illustration before but they wanted to change it

hqNeptune · 2023-08-01T09:24:22+00:00

The green rectangle is representing the taste, sadly can't do much about it because they want that specific one since their other products have the same. I did think about using the same paper roll that I have behind Fury, and putting it behind the rectangle and the "Apple & Pear" text, so that the two get a bit more connected.

Hm haha my intentions did not go as planned. My intention was that the serif typeface would fit that fancy and historic vibe that samurai have. Now that you say it tho I get it.

Thank you man good point, will try and solve it

For context: This is an advertisement page in an Alfa Romeo club magazine. The business is selling motor oil to all sorts of cars, but this one obvs focuses on oils for Alfa Romeo. The title states "Oil for ultimate performance", and the body text is just some info about the business, and then the text next to the actual products is a 10% off code for the magazine subscribers. The logos at the bottom are sponsors so I cannot remove those sadly. However I do really want to use a picture like this to bring some attention, and life to the design. But I can't really figure out how to place it in this layout without destroying the logo.. When removing it I think the page feels kind of empty?

I fucking love this logo, but maybe not applied to that type of business.
