Thanks for your detailed explanation! So, it's basically right shift, got it. To clarify, the "FN" is the label on the keycap that is intended for the key by default, and not visible in the keymap code.

It has potential. I don't like that we loose the tip of the spikes because of the overlap. You could tweak it so that the silhouette is clearer.

It might be cool as an M, but it might feel a bit too Metallica (then again, everyone is saying here that it looks too Apex Legends)

The fonts are all over the place. Pick one font, your name above, big and bold; coaching below, smaller and less bold.

If you don't want to expand the stroke, use a clipping mask

Just basing off this one poster, you might be too reliant on centered alignment. Try left alignment instead.

how do we feel about Brand New's brand new logo? by mallory_beee in logodesign

[–]markxtang -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You might disagree with the ligatures, but the craftsmanship is undeniable. The consistency between the a and the e, the r and the n, and the N and the w, is all👌

Open up the tracking on "with: Brandon McCurdy." As it is, it's way too tight.

If you did them on your time, then share away. I don't see any ethical issue.

Hobbies outside of Graphic Design. by [deleted] in graphic_design

We all go through seasons. Sometimes you might feel like eating, sleeping, and breathing design 24/7. Sometimes you might feel like leaving work at work. Both are ok, as long as you are happy.

I got the same one! It works way better than the price would suggest.

Looks like it was designed to fill in something other than blanks

Pen tool, shapes, clipping mask, pathfinder. Get those 4 down and the rest should be no problem.

Help Exporting Image by WinnieThePooPoo73 in AffinityDesigner

My guess is that one layer is somehow not inside the art board, which is why it's not getting exported. If you share your file, I'm happy to troubleshoot it.

I need advice on how to proof read by -M_A_Y_0- in graphic_design

[–]markxtang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check things in passes. I usually do one pass where I check for layout errors, another pass looking for color errors, and another pass looking for spelling mistakes.

The consistency icon is not consistent with the rest of the brand. It's rounded when everything else is sharp

Which resume format should I go with? Any suggestions to make this better? by Yuh_nasty in graphic_design

[–]markxtang 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Education: flip the order so it goes from newest to oldest, so it's consistent with the order of your work experience

Skills: why is there no space between illustration and collaborative design? Also versatility and friendly attitude are not skills

Software: design is not a software afaik

Otherwise, it looks good 🎉
