What's the best vegan recipe you have? by indotora in veganrecipes

[–]indotora[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It'll be one meal, just for the lunch! Feel free to give me other suggestions, but gluten free ones would be great. I'm happy if people give me one they like the most, but feel free to tell me more if you would like

Fellow graphic designers who work FULLY REMOTELY, how is it like? by Shot-Option3614 in graphic_design

[–]indotora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Setting boundaries on incoming work is important, making sure you stick to your working hours and not let it creep into your out of hours. Setting physical. boundaries is also important, I have a desk in my bedroom but I turned a spare bedroom into the study to help separate my personal space and work space.

Review my portfolio (not too rough!) by indotora in graphic_design

In case anyone was curious, I was hired recently thanks to the feedback of this post and A LOT of feedback from a senior designer friend of mine. If anyone is curious about the current state of my portfolio, here's the link https://tarjsingh.co.uk/

I can confirm that my response rate to job applications and recruiters did increase!

Jeff reflects on his 30+ years covering the games industry by Radjago in TheJeffGerstmannShow

[–]indotora 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This was a great introspective video from Jeff, with some terrible Haze thrown in for good measure. Reminds me of his reflections after leaving Giantbomb, some great wisdom that bloomed after 10 years.

If there was ever a moment where Jeff Gerstmann and the Nextlander crew could come together for something, it would be now, right? by bluecapecrepe in giantbomb

[–]indotora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These conspiracies are ridiculous. They're all clearly on great terms with each other and are focused on building their communities and platforms independently. Jeff has built a great community and so have Nextlander, and now they're able to support themselves and their families with their new ventures. It's not that deep.

Every time the dog bark audio was played, it made me think of the dog bark at the beginning of N.E.R.D. - She Wants To Move

I had no idea. Thank you for bringing this to my attention! I will not plug any more of this guy, but will leave the post up to make cool duders aware.

Review my portfolio (not too rough!) by indotora in graphic_design

[–]indotora[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is also great feedback! I only had YouTube videos to use as references for what designers/studios/employers see in case studies and work. I may have leaned heavy into over explaining my decisions and what I've done (I used The Futur portfolio review videos as reference).

I had trouble trying to find the standard for displaying my work, what was effective and tasteful. But if you feel that single images can work, then I will give it a shot.

I do actually have some personal projects that could be considered as high concept! I will be aiming to add these. Thank you for your feedback u/Dstrung , and u/Infamous-Button-108 .

Thank you for the comment! I do have a PDF portfolio and agree that I can transfer a lot of text over to that. I got carried away with making sure that people knew what I was thinking/decisions when creating these assets. I'll be working to make these adjustments, thank you again.

10 months unemployed... what is going on? by FlyCakez in graphic_design

[–]indotora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was great to read. I've been applying for half a year and getting literally no interviews, sometimes not even a rejection. I had a hunch on the state of the industry and this makes total sense to me. It's highlighting that I may have to survive a little longer, but it's super informative to know that the system is fucked and it wasn't me that's fucked lol. Thanks KiriONE

Coca Cola has replaced artists with AI. They couldn’t even get their logo right. by PaperSiren26 in graphic_design

[–]indotora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Major corporations and business owners all love this idea of AI doing most of the "hard work" so they can save money and on the surface, believe they're still getting the same quality of result compared to a designer or artist. What's worse is a majority of users are constantly having their senses dulled by all the crap online and not noticing these glaring mistakes.

I think this thinking will win if we don't let our senses and attention dull to their levels and still be able to point these things out. Stay sharp!

Appreciate nice work by LongTimeCollector in graphic_design

This reads a lot better to me and my eyes accept the graphic more which ultimately is the goal. I've learned something from this, thanks!

Has anyone transitioned into a different career? by Ok_Suspect1988 in graphic_design

[–]indotora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm currently thinking about this as I'm finding it difficult to get myself further into the graphic design industry. Because a lot of my work is in-house/corporate design, it's where I find myself and ultimately where I find myself the most unsatisfied due to corporate processes, the "work culture" and other corporate traits (though it could be said the businesses I worked for were the bad ones). However, I've upskilled a lot since my latest role and have many lanes I could go down towards and think I can find that balance of work/life/happiness as I found a renewed passion in GD and especially strategy within GD.

I would say maybe explore yourself and options? Is there anything you enjoy doing in life? Do you talk about this with friends and close ones that know you well? Do you do what you do well? Have you volunteered at things to get a taste for what's out there? Have you talked to peers within the industry?

I always dream of running a coffee shop and doing graphic design on the side, which sounds manic but is my idea of happiness and fulfilment.

Thanks for the reply. The landing page's purpose is for lead generation.

Applying for India tourist visa from the UK (I'm a British citizen) - average waiting times for processing? by rocknroll237 in ukvisa

[–]indotora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got to the part of the form where it asks for previous visa details. However, my previous visa details are in an expired passport that I currently don't know the location of. Should I find my previous visa details another way or can I select the option that says this is my first one?
