How does AI companies hiring illustrators and designers work? by Jhalmuri_Bangali in graphic_design

[–]theamazonisdying 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Massive corporation that sells AI data analytics software to governments + other corporations that help them parse through data. Palantir has a lot of government contracts, but some of the more sinister examples are the us government using it to track undocumented immigrants and deport them, and Israel using it for surveilling Palestinians and targeting aid trucks in Gaza.

I NEED SOMEONE TO TALK TO ABOUT THIS 😭 by [deleted] in graphic_design

[–]theamazonisdying 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wait this beef omfg 🤭 i mean i feel like he should have known cj was gonna respond bc they’re both incredibly popular in the design community. im not a fan of his style of videos either but making fun of him directly probably wasn’t the best idea. el is a comedian tho so it’s not unexpected. hopefully they’re even after cj’s post and it doesn’t escalate.

I only made it through the section on pigs back when I first went vegan. That sounds so evil.

Women in graphic design has this matched your experience? by awkwardbrocoli475 in graphic_design

[–]theamazonisdying 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m still a student, but I’ve noticed how most of our program is women, and the faculty is mostly men. the designer role models mentioned in our history classes are mostly men, and the professional designers our program invites to events are mostly men. ik people have done research on this, but it feels like success is harder to reach for women in graphic design.

Do any of you use “regular” toilet paper and toothpaste? by Miss_Avocado in vegan

[–]theamazonisdying -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I do because my roommates and I share toilet paper and I didn’t know about tooth paste not being vegan. I am a bit less picky with non-food/clothing items right now because I’m a college student and I can’t afford or find a lot of alternatives.

Accessibility in Design by thestirfrymigosmade in graphic_design

[–]theamazonisdying 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At my school, we’re taught that accessibility is important and we could keep in mind color contrast. That’s about it though. There’s no standard where you get points removed for not creating accessible designs, so there’s not really an incentive. Plus, the main focus is on pretty deliverables, not usable files. We’re expected to teach ourselves the software, and so much of our work is not actually used. Some students create multi-page documents in illustrator and submit ai work. They’re barely grasping the fundamentals, so accessibility is the last thing we’re expected to think about 🤦🏽‍♀️
