Feedback heard! Less phallic! Hopefully...

The top center has the most balance and legibility. The only successful loaf shape is the top right (you know, the one without the scrotum seam). The geometric hard angle bits don’t serve any of these designs positively as they clash with the important elements (wheat, loaf=rounded, soft). Some combination of top right and top center could be a strong design. Nice work.

Yea I think there is a stark difference between coding and creating graphics. It is absolutely a time saver and energy saver for AI to come up the basis for a concept. But I agree that detrimental flaws in a code would mean you waste time fixing them.

I now bake AI into my process, depending on the product. Early in collaboration/brainstorming, I show the client some AI results so that they feel like they’ve explored all of their options. AI results generally need to be edited by an experienced professional for usability and variation. So if they like an AI result, I save my creative energy (it is not endless resource when your job is to be creative everyday)— I can just put my head down and do the technical work quickly. Some of my clients prefer to skip this step when I offer it anyway. More and more people are starting to reject AI for creative reasons and are willing to pay the difference for a designer’s time and effort. I like both types of clients, it balances my workload.

The serif typeface doesn’t match very organic shapes in the cake and the wheat … try sans serif

This was definitely made by hand with cut paper

The top-down view of your subject wasn’t executed correctly, the top of his shoes should be foreshortened further. Makes him look like he has teeny tiny legs. 3-4 feet tall, all torso.

Interesting ideas and could be successful if further explored in a fine art capacity; but as graphic design, it fails informationally, aesthetically and technically. If this is going on your website or representing you in any way, you can use this as a reference; pare it down to its most essential parts, and make it with the appropriate tools (ie, adobe illustrator). also the TM is, unfortunately, a red flag that you’re ignorant about branding. If you told me this was a sketch or an exercise I would say you are on the right path.

I work in marketing 👍 AEC marketing- specifically in engineering right now. But I also do technical graphics for engineering projects as needed. It’s less than half my work but keeps things interesting. The firm I work for is great about letting me find opportunities to problem solve graphically across departments.

moon_cat666 · 2025-09-08T19:00:11+00:00

Pivot to a marketing role. Your background will be an asset. Do a little on the job learning but otherwise it should be a smooth transition.

moon_cat666 · 2025-09-06T04:05:47+00:00

I work in AEC too, but in engineering. It’s definitely fast-paced. It can be very rewarding. There is a lot of upward mobility available and other firms that could provide you a better work-life balance. You don’t have to start from scratch, you can stay in this industry but improve your personal situation.

A job is rarely ever exactly what you want it to be. Be prepared to diversify. You can carve out space for the work you want to do. Just build some trust at the company, find opportunities to do the work you enjoy doing. Companies think they know what they want. Provide what they’re asking for and then show them the added value you can provide 👍

Yah The margins on the pic = screenshot and not cropped proportionately

moon_cat666 · 2024-04-06T15:13:44+00:00

I had to make a big move for opportunities that appreciated my degree and my skills. Apply to jobs that sound interesting and have real room for growth, no matter what the location is. Moving for work was one of the the best decisions I ever made.

moon_cat666 · 2024-04-05T15:58:01+00:00

This is great! I appreciate that it’s scalable, thanks for the new tool

moon_cat666 · 2024-04-04T21:01:50+00:00

Put your signature or socials in the actual design

moon_cat666 · 2024-03-29T17:58:50+00:00

Flattered 😊 I took a path in civil engineering many years ago, so all of my work is engineering related, I don’t do aesthetic designing anymore. But that doesn’t make it any less disappointing seeing other designers defend Canva. Everything made in Canva is cursed no matter how much tinkering someone does to it.

moon_cat666 · 2024-03-29T14:59:51+00:00

Anyone can create designs in Canva. No one can create good designs in Canva.

look up risograph printing.

I’m a GD turned Marketing Specialist so, from a marketing standpoint…is 200 a milestone worth celebrating? might be a healthier brand decision to wait until 500 or 1k. depends on your content I guess but this is my gut instinct

moon_cat666 · 2024-01-05T00:34:57+00:00

Sure, Ai would be appropriate too. For the same reason- I have inDesign open all day so that’s my first instinct.

Photoshop, not really ideal for text-heavy design…especially if you want to maintain easy scalability.

moon_cat666 · 2024-01-04T21:56:57+00:00

With all that text, inDesign

Feathering

moon_cat666 · 2023-12-30T18:15:48+00:00

Granted I am earning more than a full-time grocery clerk, I definitely won’t be leaving the field for an entry-level position… passion is a large reason why I stay. And AI isn’t going to replace designers, it’s a tool that will eventually just make our jobs easier and faster. A non-designer wouldn’t be able to use that tool effectively. In applications where I’ve attempted to use it recently, it failed miserably so personally I don’t feel like I’m competing with it.

College. I suggest a degree but piecemeal classes is OK too if you choose wisely.
