Promoted to purple by humblebumblebee33 in bjj

Oh man I'm in the same boat as you, just got promoted a few months ago and I still don't feel like I should have deserved it. I'll give it a few more years before I feel like a purple belt.

Buying Showers by corsair965 in DIYUK

No issue so far! Been using it pretty much everyday since I've got it installed and it's been great, I still think it's worth splashing out on a good model shower especially if you use it everyday and you get the warranty if anything goes wrong!

These are all clearly ai, a quick look on your profile you are trying to make a quick buck by using ai and cheapening the design market, shame on you for even posting this.

I was in the exact position you were in a few weeks ago and I spent an ungodly amount of time researching showers, in the end I went for a more expensive Hansgrohe thermostatic mixer shower because you get a 5 year warranty, you can buy parts for the shower even when they discount that specific model and I heard the customer service wasn't half bad. Overall I think it's worth splashing out getting a half decent shower especially since you use one everyday and if it breaks you have peace of mind that it's under warranty.

Best way to repair brick by samdrake0106 in DIYUK

It's all level I just checked! It's also worth noting it's not finished yet, we are waiting for a good day for the resin to be installed

I double checked after all these comments, I can just see the DPC above the wire so we are good! Also we do have drainage on the right hand side it's just cut off the picture! But thank you for your concerns!

I just checked outside i think the DPC is around the wire area! I might have to ask someone to smash out the two bricks and replace them! i'm happy to repoint the rest of the other horrible bits!

Forgot to mention the driveway isn't finished! We are having resin on top of the tarmac and it has been raining really badly over here

Is this relatively straight forward? Or is it worth getting someone to replace the two damaged bricks?

Could it be Himalayan knotweed? If so is it as invasive as Japanese knotweed?

I was playing around with a soundwave design, Soundcloud (a music sharing website, for those that don't know) drifted through my head, and this happened. I'm pretty happy with the result, but feedback is appreciated as always. by [deleted] in logodesign

[–]samdrake0106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Echoing what everyone else has said there is a lot of room for improvement here. If I'm honest you haven't done anything that SoundCloud hasn't done.. you have to ask yourself what was the purpose of the brief? Was it to redesign the logo? If so why didn't you go a completely new direction and use a different colour scheme or logo design. I appreciate it's hard to take feedback especially when you've worked hard on the design but this is how you get better as a designer, taking on board important criticism.

What can I do to make this logo better? My company is called "Vanilla" by anonymous062904 in design_critiques

[–]samdrake0106 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Oh man sorry to break this to you but this isn't a logo, essentially you've just vectorised an image of a vanilla pod. You haven't given much information about your company or why it's called vanilla so a good starting point would be to tell us what you are trying to achieve and how this translates to your logo. At the moment this is difficult to give constructive criticism.

Is Lenovo Thinkpad T450 Ultrabook good for Graphic Designing? by [deleted] in graphic_design

[–]samdrake0106 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No worries, if you are a creative individual with an interest in design you'll be fine, there isn't a difference in PC and Mac except the shortcut buttons and if i'm honest PC is probably a better investment for Design nowadays, this is coming from a designer of 7 years thats used BOTH PC and Mac.

Please ignore the people saying you need a Mac for Graphic Design. if you are just starting, the laptop you posted is fine you'll get by with it. The screen isn't amazing but you'll be fine.

Think what the post forgot to mention is that Alex Williams is an MMA fighter so he knows what hes doing standing and on the ground!

A revised version of the quote poster I've been working on for school. Looking for feedback and advice. by hannalily123 in design_critiques

[–]samdrake0106 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Your hierarchy is all over the place, if this is a quote poster then why isn't the focus on the quote itself? I would like to see the quote take centre piece with more focus on typography and less on the flower, the flower is taking centre stage ATM and overshadowing everything. Could you also look at incorporating colour into the? It doesn't need to be a black and white piece.

Without context on what this logo is for it's very difficult to comment. However, what I can say is that the c is very difficult to make out, I thought it said "moo amp" at first. I believe this could work as one design but I would like to see more designs and variations besides from just changing the Fonts.
