Im total noob in graphic tablet drawing is Wacom One at least decent?
Im not good at any drawing i have some Photoshop experience.
This tablet will be only some attempt on new hobby/something to kill time with.
>>242881
I've made better experiences drawing my shit on paper, scanning it in and redrawing it with AI.
It might work for you, but it didn't for me.
>>242881
If you're not very good at drawing you should start by drawing with pen and paper. A tablet wont help things.
>>242901
As said, it won't turn you into a good drawer, OP.
Using Pencil and Paper will.
But still get it. Photoshopping gets easier with it.
This is my portfolio website, what do you guys think? http://mmbotelho.com/
>>242533
It's confusing and artsy (in the worst sense).
IMO a portfolio website should first and foremost communicate the work that it presents. Only after that it could become a work in itself. Otherwise it will just be an exercise and style without really being connected with what it's presenting. In this particular case I'd say it fails in both fronts, style-wise it kinda looks dated, adobe flash old.
You also have some text wrapping issues.
>>242533
So you're riding that dutch bandwagon of designers pushing it through overlapping features, memorabilia styles and off-the-grid design, uh?
I kinda like it although the zero-responsive attitude. I confess I'm pro-responsive at any cost.
The only hitch I encountered is about navigating through projects when inside one (eg from pistolshrimp to pi). Seems easier to add steps inbetween: home - pistolshrimp - home - pi. Every click is gold these times.
Good job anon.
Quite like it, but it's more adapted to fine art than communication design. If I was a employer I would be a bit doubtful, especially since your projects aren't that strong or interesting desu.

>adobe flash old.
Im pretty sure that's the point mang
Does anyone has this template or mockup?
Ooook.
no i don't

Hi /gd/
I have to do a group business plan for Uni and I've been tasked with creating a logo for our fictional company. I made this in photoshop and it's complete shit. Can anyone give me some tips on how to improve it and not look like I made it in MS Paint? I have an extremely limited understanding of photoshop but I'm fairly decent at learning things like this. Also, pls no bully over the logo, I know it's awful.
>>244025
I would start by making it all caps. A change in font would be nice. The color seems a bit off also.
>>244025
also, find a way to make the viewer notice both the logo and the name
>>244025
holy shit, I forgot, USE ILLUSTRATOR

Family friend wanted a leaflet to promote a new business, said I'd help out. This is my first proof. I know something is wrong with it, but I don't know what. I feel its lacking, but I don't want to over-clutter it. Any advice?
Replace the info you want kept private with dummy text instead of just deleting it and post it again
>>243869
Will do that tomorrow. Just got into bed and don't have access to the file at the moment.
The only text that is deleted is the contact info and the location of the "Central clinic". I guess it does make a big difference to how its seen by the eye.
Here it is with text filled in.
I will need a bit of room at the bottom left side for the health licence logo thing, which I have not had sent to me yet.
I'm doing a logo for a relatively small school project and I thought I could ask /gd/ how can I improve it.
I'm an amauteur and used MS Paint to do this.
Make the laptop not a picture
Holy fuck son that's horrible.
Learn how to use a design program that can create vectors.
So, the only problem is the unsoftness of it?
Is Pixlr Editor a good alternate program?
Is the concept of the logo itself shit?
When they were released an anon compiled them into 4 "albums" on mega:

I was thinking of a theme like: Store Opens, Golden Years, Financial Difficulties, Store Closing
Can someone make album covers for the kmart tapes?
Can't go to /r/ as it's dead and just all porn
When I think of K-Mart I think of dusty yellowed floors. Maybe incorporate that in somehow.
>>242951
Well I just took another look and it seems like the tapes aren't in perfect chronological order, I don't really mind that though.
I've made 4 covers for each of the 4 albums, would appreciate some feedback
Here's "Welcome to Kmart"
>>242952
"The Golden Years"
How can I improve this poster /gd/?
The poster is supposed to demonstrate the idea of balance in design.
>>242654
Please elaborate on your reasoning.
The only balance I see is that it's vertically symmetrical. Not sure where's the rest of the balance (or the design).
>>242655
It's a school project. Basically we needed to create a poster on one of the Elements and Principles of Design and mine was balance. I focused on the vertical symmetry to portray this....
>>242655
Also I am a bit confused with your comment.. particularly the last bit,
"Not sure where's the rest of the balance (or the design)."
Could you further elaborate?
ITT: share your best so far.

Hello /gd/, can you help me out?
I've never worked with any kind of social media/marketing stuff and now that I can't get any /gd/ freelance and my bank account only has $2, I'm selling custom keychains.
I never created any kind of composition made to sell something, so I researched a few places for inspiration, with no luck.
TL;DR: I am selling keychains via facebook and need tips for my post design (if it's working or not).
I've made three different images. This is the first one.
This is the second one, tried to align both topics and lines.
I showed both to my gf and she said that it had too much information. So I made a third one (that I honestly didn't like) to show her.
She liked this the most.
Probably the bg is what's making me hate this, but don't know what to do with it.
I don't like the pictures that small, they are one of the most important information you can show, and it attracts the attention of possible customers.
The text part should be more secondary, in my opinion.
If i had to do this, i would associate an image with one of those qualities, like: a picture of the raw materials you use for ''alta qualidade'', some random keychains you made, side by side, for ''temas variados'' and so on. Also, you could pay the designer with custom keychains kehehe...
Hey /gd/, I'm the newbie cat logo guy from earlier; I've got a lot of awesome feedback so here I am again to ask for some more logo critique.
With that said, here's the logo in question. I am kinda stuck as to how I should go about approaching this logo so any advice I can get would be greatly appreciated.
More infos.

The game's a qsuedo turn based RPG where players assemble teams of up to 6 heroes (arranged in a 3x2 grid) to fight in dungeons/arenas.
The game field looks something like this atm (I'm still working heavily on the UI atm).
One of the character cards (the vanguard) on the player side has a golden border and greatly improved stats. It can also provide a buff of sorts to the rest of the allied team; making the vanguard a priority target to attack.
Added some gradients and changed the colours.
Any pixel artt enthusiasts?
I've been working on developing simple mobile games recently and I'm getting into minimalistic pixel art so I don't have to hire artists.
Post your works and/or inspo.
>>242084
Fuck me, I wish I could get a pixel artist half as good as that on me team.
>>242084
This looks fantastic. whats it from?
>>242086
That's not true pixel art, it's drawing a standard picture and then abstracting it and adding little bits of pixel art here and there to blend it together, then applying the species affects like the little glowing sprites and ambient occlusion to complete the entire effect.
The logic behind it is explained better here

Hi /gd/ I need your help
A lot of you guys do this professionally, and I need to ask. How?
Im going to go to university real soon, and I want to do this professionally. I'm confused between if I should be doing a BA in graphic communication design, communication or a BFA in visual communication design.
Personally what have you guys have done, and what did you move on in the future? Did you create your own company or go into a firm? Did you do a BA/BFA then a MA/MFA afterwords or did you wait for a while or not do it at all?
As a high school...

What you get your degree in doesn't mean shit once you're back in the real world. Your portfolio is everything. The most important tool at your disposal is who you know. Make contacts, develop relationships, never stop improving yourself and honing your skills as a creative professional. This is one of those weird fields where having a degree can actually set you back a little bit, so be careful.
My parents were never supportive either and expected me to fail. I didn't even bother going to college...

Hey /gd/! I'm redoing my resume right now.
At my college internship, I do SO many different kinds of work, and I want to highlight that. I was considering adding a 'notable projects' section within the job description - however, do you guys think that's too much?
(Pictured is not my resume - but a design I like!)
Just know that the person who reads your resume (Assuming they've got a decent amount to sort through) will take about 20-30 seconds to glace over your resume. Make it concise, simple, and visually pleasing.

youre going to lose so much space from that huge indent that what would be a 2 page cv will be double
