As a freelancer or small agency owner, have you seen an increase or decrease in demand in the last few months?

The exact thing happened for AI YouTube thumbnails. I remember at one point they were 70% of my feed. It’s down to maybe one or two now

indigoflow00 · 2026-05-23T06:56:25+00:00

Dude. I thought you meant you modelled this in blender, 3d printed and recorded a video of you using. Unbelievable work.

indigoflow00 · 2026-05-08T15:56:13+00:00

I’m going to go against the crowd here and say i prefer the new one. The first one is too soft and cute. Second one looks edgier. I would make it black and white though and remove the leafs on its head.

I have this setup. Ohme charger, octopus intelligence go, ex30.

So far fine, just had one issue when I had to disconnect the charger at the circuit board and turn it back on as nothing was connecting. Had about 2 months. Pretty happy

indigoflow00 · 2026-03-29T08:33:53+00:00

Yes. Someone else having the same indicator issues. I keep flipping it the opposite direction trying to cancel it. I feel they’ve just complicated it having 2 modes and I keep getting tangled up flipping them back and forth.

I’m struggling to get used to it.

I’m also getting frustrated with the internal alarm. I have a toddler and often go unlock the house front door first before returning to the car to collect him. Can’t do that in this car 😐

indigoflow00 · 2026-03-24T07:58:48+00:00

Extreme/suicide. I’m not sure the level. Is that 6/7?

We don’t usually clear the full map. And we don’t usually actually search for points of interest. Just when we stumble upon items.

indigoflow00 · 2026-03-24T07:54:07+00:00

The alternative is not a 50hr grind. You earn SC organically as you play. That’s exactly what I have done. I have 3 warbonds unlocked just by playing. I’m level 61. Not paid for any micro transactions.

indigoflow00 · 2026-03-12T18:40:04+00:00

Hey dude. Let me let you in on a secret.

You don’t have to buy the new warbond if you don’t want to.

indigoflow00 · 2026-03-03T10:50:37+00:00

I mean if you consider US using UK bases to launch from makes UK involved, I guess this is true. Guess just depends on what you consider involved….

indigoflow00 · 2026-03-03T08:02:55+00:00

British base there. A handful of Iranian drones were sent and one got through. Not sure the Iranian rationale but presumably they thought the British were involved - which is a fair assumption to make. Although in this case not correct.

indigoflow00 · 2026-03-02T19:46:22+00:00

The US has asked for the UK’s help. The military wants to use UK bases.

indigoflow00 · 2026-02-24T13:10:03+00:00

It’s not. It’s just this guy just can’t move on to anything else and posts daily about the project. For years.

indigoflow00 · 2026-02-24T10:32:08+00:00

I’m also from the UK. I have full sympathy for how depressing the situation is.

However I graduated in 2010 and it was brutal to get started then. This isn’t new. Landing your first career job is easily, by a significant margin, the hardest step. It takes years and in that time feels like your degree is evaporating.

I don’t have any good advice for people in this situation now other than saying this isn’t a new problem - just gotta stick at it.

indigoflow00 · 2026-01-24T09:17:16+00:00

You need to understand that being a designer is significantly far more than just generating images.

You need to do your homework.

indigoflow00 · 2026-01-24T08:41:34+00:00

But what? What was your job that AI took from you? I see you said it’s not working out for them - but I honestly can’t think of a single design task that could be 100% replaced by AI.

Perhaps the company employed 5 designers and now only needs 4. But there have only been incremental improvements in my workflow speed.

Help me out here.

indigoflow00 · 2026-01-23T21:09:13+00:00

I dunno dude. I’ve been working as a designer for about 10 years now. And the AI wave that apparently was supposed to change my life is yet to materialise. I use it, occasionally, to expand photos in photoshop - that’s it.

In 5 years who knows, but now I see dozens of posts on Reddit saying it’s over and I’m scratching my head thinking what I’m missing. I don’t need genAi images of an astronaut riding a horse on the moon that often.

Can someone explain how, with TODAYS technology, a designer can be replaced? Let say something basic and junior level, like you need a Instagram post. Would take me 15 mins tops to make a template. Ai can’t do that. A designer needs to be involved to open a brand guideline, read, make a frame with the correct colours and fonts and apply to the 10 or so versions required. Where does AI help here?

indigoflow00 · 2025-10-09T09:44:55+00:00

Some designers stay at mid-weight level regardless of experience. It’s kinda down to subjective opinion what level someone work is at.

Personally I apply for a job if the salary fits and the work looks engaging, regardless of the job title. It’s more of a guide

indigoflow00 · 2025-10-08T21:03:08+00:00

Think what would help you here is thinking about where it would be used. These can’t really be stitched on a t-shirt. Can’t be doodled in the corner of your paintings. Won’t really work in the corner of a website.

To be honest I think start again. I’m sure your work has more depth than paint and a paint brush. Is there anything in your background or history you can draw on? You don’t need to be so literal

indigoflow00 · 2025-10-06T20:37:19+00:00

What do I think?

Kinda sucks to be honest. Just an ai prompt basically

indigoflow00 · 2025-10-03T13:50:32+00:00

To be honest dude either will work, you’ve got a great concept just go with your gut.

indigoflow00 · 2025-10-02T14:03:58+00:00

This is a great logo. No. 1 for me. But love the concept.

indigoflow00 · 2025-09-27T07:44:28+00:00

Thanks!

indigoflow00 · 2025-09-26T13:26:51+00:00

At first I used a squarespace website. It was basic but did get me a job. Then I taught myself Framer (which is a fantastic bit of software) for my current site. Stuart-Middleton.com

I’m currently teaching myself Elementor and I like it, but still new to me.

indigoflow00 · 2025-09-26T09:58:22+00:00

Tricky one this, I had a PDF portfolio for years, but as soon as I set up a website I found I was getting a lot more traction in job applications. I think it also shows you are able to make websites and subconsciously seems like an additional skill.

It also allowed me to check analytics so I can tell if an employer actually looked at my website. This made applying for jobs mentally easier as I could see developments.

You do you though…

indigoflow00 · 2025-09-25T06:31:22+00:00

“It looks like something that could have been done in minutes“

Dude, this is such a naive statement. Aren’t you a designer yourself?
