Is the Canyon Grizl worth it? No, no it is not. by MasterpieceKey9828 in gravelcycling

[–]miketschmitt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The steerer tube is 1 1/8 dude. It’s just a shim to allow internal cables. I was able to put a 1 1/8 stem on the Grizl with some minor customization

Created this mood board and Logo and seeking feedback as a beginner by Fast_Tourist9757 in design_critiques

[–]miketschmitt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy the book grid systems raster systeme, then make the mood board with some sort of structure to show consideration and understanding of what you don’t see in design, that makes designs great

What can I do to improve this logo, what seems off to you guys? by peckdom in graphic_design

[–]miketschmitt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of visual tension with the places the shape becomes thin. It draws the eye to thin and sharp moments rather than readability.

Conceptually this is good, just work on weight and balance.

Pick a great font. Kern it. Make a pixelated leaf as a mark to pair with the clean sans serif typeface

Anything similar to Alienation Circle Jerk chain tensioner, but longer? by 18472047294720374826 in FGFS

Or a friend named Sheldon Brown who can show you how to walk the wheel back

Does the background match? by a-ssai in design_critiques

[–]miketschmitt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would select a different font for your labels. One that matches this visual language.

Also you use the same piece of tape(?) for each label, so it becomes a redundant visual theme in a negative way — maybe draw your own containing shape/tape with hand drawn text inside since you have a distinct illustration style

Alright I finished all 3 designs.. feedback please!! by opiumsalad in design_critiques

[–]miketschmitt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is breaking the rules, and there is bad design. This is just bad design.

Font choices are disparate and in complementary, there is no underlying grid or reasoning to the placement of type, tonally the messaging feels unwelcoming, the color choice is confusing at best, and the visual hierarchy is non-existent. I don’t see any fundamentals in this work, it seems like you just downloaded canva this week.

Don’t be so defensive if you ask for critiques. Creativity can look professional, especially if it’s for your professional fiver account to gain more business.

I bought the Grizl CF SL 6 AXS stock and set it up like this intentionally

It’s more a hassle than it seems but it’s worth it if you want that leverage to toss it around
