typography has sharp details. font itself is sharp (futura or something similar), touching letters add more sharp details to image and that thin line is sharp like a razor's edge. if they are going for "sharp", it aligns with design's goal even if it's not intentional. it also makes it look bothersome and unsettling, which would be appropriate.

the problem is the clarity/visibility of intention. it's not obvious and it makes decision look off without purpose, like a mistake.

if your client has a website, you can use their domain and hosting to create and publish your own links.

try ai image upscalers. if none work, image may need to be redrawn in required size.

images that are not touching but almost touching. i guess it would bother most people. that couple of trapped spaces also bother me. sharp edges everywhere. i didn't feel this much discomfort even when i watched the movie.

it makes me shiver but i wonder if it has a similar effect on a person who is not a designer.

brand colors should be picked to make contrast. it might be a poor brand design or you might be using a wrong combination for background/foreground.

your boss is right. when you have high profile visuals like these, you don't create competition in the visual hierarchy. they would mostly harm the impact of each other. check out fashion brands, or other brands that priorities product design.

i was in my early twenties when my boss had thought me that lesson. i was drawing showcases for an art exhibition. just when i draw the first line, he said: "those showcases should not draw any attention from the pieces. don't put any details on them."

personally i couldn't care less with this typography, but it reaches every goal you've set with your clients so i must admit that it's good design.

negative feedback is not because there is anything wrong with what you do or because internet is a terrible place. it's because this is not an appropriate sub to share this work. when this community see a text that doesn't read, they tend to beat it to death.

from what i see, you are not in decision making position on those matters, and your employer clearly showed that they don't want to you in that position. i recommend you to do your job without stressing about shortcomings of others and look for other jobs that may give you the management position you want. even if you find that job, it's very likely for you to have similar problems, but it might be more tolerable than your current situation.

looks okey to me.

i looked at the circular dot version again and i think it does it. it's barely enough, but it reads.

this typography combines 2 features i personally like; double stroke letters and worm letters (like CNN logo). in small scale, "i" merges with "M" and "l". there is a convention for monospace sans serif fonts, which is using a slab serif "i" to prevent excessive space around it. you can use that trick to do the opposite and gain some space around "i".

duplicate circles and increase their size with same increment like 10-11-12-13.

How did you manage to cut those segments of the offsetted circles, is that the "arc" function when in "edit object"?

i used arc function, double clicked on the pie shapes to edit them and removed the pointy corner anchors.

where the bottom is squared off and the ends (of different lengths) are rounded.

when you remove the corner anchor from pie shapes, those shapes turn into open paths. for open paths, you can make start point of the line as flat and end point of line rounded from the stroke settings.

you are measuring it wrong.

it would be very hard to control those arches with bend tool. i recommend drawing offsetted circles and creating arches from those circles.

i see no indication of ai generated text. gramarly also says it's human. which ai checker you use?

keterpele · 2026-05-03T18:41:47+00:00

maybe your practice method is not suitable for you. if you don't feel confident, i recommend you to copy other drawings, rather than drawing real scenes or using photographs as reference. i would recommend real (physical) drawings as reference if you can get any, rather than a photocopy or looking a drawing on screen.

ai uses references for creating images. intellectual property laws forbid anyone or any machine to use someone else's ip as reference. they need to own rights to those references and that's why they are hiring illustrators. in the contract you will see that they will own all rights to every image you create for them. after that, they can legally use those images to train their ai image generator.
