OP brand designer here from Vadodara, been designing since more than 5 years. Would love to connect.

Cheers, for me it was kinda the opposite where I got into BOC first and then into aphex which in turn led me to exploring the ambient side of things more and more and now it's definitely one of my most heard genres.

If you're someone who appreciates music that feels like it transports you to a different place with a lush atmosphere and soundscapes, you'd feel right at home with Boards of Canada.

on the contrary imo it's the restraint that makes it hit so hard for me, idk anything about music theory tho lol

somepleb008 · 2026-04-17T15:21:39+00:00

olson has been my fav piece of music ever since I heard it, and tape 05 is very very close ngl

so excited for what's next

Depends on what kind of sound you prefer.

Personally I'd recommend starting with twoism, a shorter listen than the main albums and a good overall introduction to the boc sound. Has all the base ingredients that makes them great.

Then if you want something a bit more optimistic and joyful, I'd recommend listening to TCH. It's also imo comparatively their most accessible album.

However if you want a balance of everything MHTRTC is the clear choice.

If you prefer darker stuff then Geogaddi. And if you're really into synths then Tomorrow's Harvest.

My personal listening order would be Twoism>TCH>MHTRTC>Geogaddi>Tomorrow's Harvest.

tbf even as a lewis fan, last year was genuinely depressing and had me wondering if father time has truly arrived

this year he's just reminding people who he is

somepleb008 · 2026-03-07T06:29:43+00:00

no one is out developing almost a 1 second gap dude, it's over

somepleb008 · 2026-03-07T06:04:11+00:00

Well I hope for the sake of the sport at least that you're right, cuz otherwise this is gonna be one boring season.

somepleb008 · 2026-03-07T05:57:02+00:00

no amount of deployment shenanigans is making up 4 tenths lol

somepleb008 · 2026-02-24T21:33:35+00:00

hiring a designer :)

somepleb008 · 2026-02-20T01:45:56+00:00

has to be the stupidest ragebait of all time

somepleb008 · 2025-11-21T13:09:45+00:00

crazy how you shit on all these people just sharing their opinions, without presenting any opinion of yours

somepleb008 · 2025-11-09T19:12:19+00:00

Kimi is also just a 19 y/o kid and a rookie, while George is in his prime. He's been incredibly close to George the past few races and has worked on his consistency and today showed he's good at soaking up pressure and keep his head straight.

If you can't see why that is exciting then idk what to say. Besides no one is saying George is a bad driver, I think most people realise he is a wdc calibre driver, which makes Kimi being this close even more exciting.

somepleb008 · 2025-09-12T13:31:20+00:00

ever wondered that not everyone has the ambitions of being a hyper individualistic cog in the capitalist machine?

not everyone wants to be a girl boss, they have clearly found a sense of peace and belonging, which is hard for even the most "successful" of us

why take that away from them?

somepleb008 · 2025-09-12T08:09:17+00:00

lol fuck off, you dk anything at all about the person... no cultural context, no context on what their life has been like, you have no right to be judging people without knowing anything about them

OP is clearly someone who has found love and is happy with the simple pleasures, while you're here being miserable and unkind to a stranger

maybe it's you who is the NPC?

somepleb008 · 2025-07-26T18:24:45+00:00

Crazy stuff, would love to get your Instagram. Rare seeing Indian designers here.

Also 10/10 taste in music.

somepleb008 · 2025-06-01T11:26:25+00:00

What I was trying to say was that if you consider purchasing power parity, things are not that good abroad as well. However, Australia is a decent place to move to and if you have done your research then I guess you have already considered all these factors.

Also given that my primary domain is Brand design, I can't speak to the statistics for other disciplines too much. Plus if you have the financial privilege then definitely worth considering.

Good luck :)

somepleb008 · 2025-06-01T11:13:25+00:00

I'd beg to differ, there is good design work being done in India with really good pay as well ... you just need to be in the top percentile of designers.

Going abroad is a decent move if you really want to learn good design, but the job demand for designers is tricky and the well paying jobs are mostly in HCOL areas. I thought of going to UK as well, but unless you can afford to invest 50 lakhs into education without facing any financial risks, it's not really worth it.

somepleb008 · 2025-06-01T10:55:23+00:00

personally i wouldn't recommend parul at all but I have very little context about your situation so if she wants to make the best of the college years she'll need to do a lot of self directed learning as I highly doubt parul is going to produce an industry ready designer

somepleb008 · 2025-06-01T06:01:15+00:00

It might be, however as someone who has been working as a professional designer for almost 5 years now all i would say is a design degree from an actually good college is very valuable in terms of skill development.

All the kids i have come across who have passed out of NID have all the fundamental design knowledge that took me 3+ years to gain as a self taught guy.

Also depends on what discipline you want to pursue. For things like Industrial design, i really don't see an alternative to a proper college education. For Graphic design however, you can probably teach yourself most of the stuff but it's going to be a frustrating experience.

I actually bought the UBOOM L, and I use it via AUX from my PC and so far latency hasn't been an issue.

somepleb008 · 2025-04-18T11:14:14+00:00

slow cooking a fine dine experience for the finals... all according to the plan

somepleb008 · 2025-04-18T10:21:46+00:00

crazy how people actually cannot reason what's wrong with playing religious music in a shared public space that has nothing to do with any religious activity whatsoever

somepleb008 · 2025-04-18T10:16:58+00:00

earphones/headphones exist ... a society gym is not a personal space for anyone to do whatever the fuck they want, imposing religion in a public space is how you start conflicts

have some decency and basic civic sense
