Where's a good source of inspiration to get ideas on creating hotel interior signs (Room ID, Back of house, Front of house)? I posted two weeks ago feeling poopy, and there were about 3 links that people shared for inspiration/recommendation and I totally forgot to fucking bookmark them.
But I will also accept some great links on where to get inspiration/ideas on what I said earlier.
Pic related. My shitty thumbnail concepts that the client fucking hated lmao
>>257392
I remember your thread, it's been weeks and you haven't gotten a revision to the client?
Dude what the shit, these are legal/technical signs
>>257407
Was instructed by my project manager to wait on revisions. Got feedback yesterday on what they'd like finally, lol
I took on more work than I can handle. How do you proceed on 10 clients at the same time?
I might have to pass them off to another designer and take a percentage.
How do you find a local graphic designer willing to do small overflow design jobs?
find out the subcontract percent in your area

Hey, /gd/, what's the trend where a typeface gets crammed into a square or rectangle called?
I want to be able to complain about it when it doesn't work and is a mess, just as this picture...but I don't know how to describe it succinctly.
>>257310
slab serif?
>>257311
I'm not looking for the typeface style, idiot. I'm referring to how the letters of the entire word are split into three diferent lines.
I can't believe I had to make an example myself, but here; it's like if you broke up the word macchiato like this.

Too big, would get caught on shit all the time
Also wood, because you'd be constantly snagging it on stuff and knocking it against stuff it would get dented and beat to shit.
My silver ring is all scratched up and dented and it's a low profile metal ring, that thing would last a day.
Terrible idea.
Thoughts?
is the tiled logo in the background a watermark? Or is it meant to be there?
>>257287
If it's just a watermark then that's fine, but if it's meant to be there, remove that shit, it makes it too cluttered.
That top blue splash looks out of place, I feel like the logo should be completely between the white and blue sides and the blue at the top distracts it a little.
The outline of the test needs to be smoothed out, you can see all the hard lines rather than it being a smooth curve.
The dot of the i is a little unclear, looking at the blue negative space it makes it look like the dot of the i isn't there and there is just a blue squiggle where it should be, I see what was meant to have been done there, continuing the cream line from the outside to form the i in one smooth line but I don't think it works.
Other then that I like it, I think the colours work well together and I dig the old milk bar feel to the text used and such.
So, I have a question . There are other ways to make symbols or letters without being a 3D render or " Bevel & Emboss" ? Could you give me content to study these techniques?

OP here. Thanks, bro!
Are there no professionals on this board?
Most (if not all) the work I've seen here looks like stuff made from first year students or people who have no idea how to design.
Anyone care to rebuff my statement by showing their work?
>>257232
I've been in the business 8 years now, I make a pittance of 44k on salary and 2-15k from freelance (a year), I am definitively a professional in the definitive sense of the word- that won't stop you or any other anon from tearing my work apart, so no I won't post anything, thanks.
>>257238
It's called a vanishing point, you uneducated asshole. Things appear smaller when they're further away from you, like a fetus slowly spiraling toward being born.
So I need help figuring out how to make the same background effect this image has. Like, around the edges it has like some sort of faded gradient like effect I can't figure out how to make. Any ideas?
>>257218
>make a radial gradient, white in the center and black at the edges (pic related)
>put it on top and change the blending mode to multiply
>>257219
I know how to make a radial gradient, it's the somewhat vintage/faded effect I'm looking for.
So, I have to do a PowerPoint for a class, and I want to do something more interesting than the default themes.
I just have a total block on what direction I want to go in.
I'm obviously not looking for anybody to walk me through it, I just want some ideas about where I could take it.
The presentation is about a study about homeless mothers and parenting while homeless at a shelter. I dunno, I want it to look sharp, but also reflect the theme. But I also don't want to do anything hackneyed, like fill it with stock photos of sad hobos and worn typefaces.
Ideas?
>>257211
Do you know where I can find thodr original photos on your picture?
>>257235
It's from the opening pages of the first issue of a comic called Annihilator, written by Grant Morrison and with art by Frazer Irving (two of my favorite creators).
Irving is great. If you like this, check out his other work.
I'm sure you can find a bigger version of this page if you find a torrent of the comic or something.

how do i create this 3d effect from a flat image?
>>257208
delete system34
>>257214
system32*
>>257208
(probably) it could be done in after effects using the 2.5D effect (parallax) and displacement maps with a camera targeting a null object (on the face) along with a smooth puppet/pin tool animation and also a camera rotation+wiggle expression movement simulating a circle loop.

go nuts
My university had a logo contest for the art history and archaeology department
it was supposed to be "fashionable", discreet, to have a strong personnality, to evoke a place where the quality is a priority, where the teachings are modern and a cosy feeling
pic related the currently most liked "logo"
>>257133
I like it
>logo contest
First wrong move.
>>257166
>http://www.thelogofactory.com/famous-logos-design-contests/
>If logo design contests are allegedly bad, then why famous corporations have been opting for them? After witnessing such legendary cases of corporate identities, do you still believe that logo design contests warrant the cynicism they get? Don’t you think ”logo design contests” have been playing an important role in providing memorable logo designs to the industry?
Anyone know anything about proofing/prototyping printers?
I want to invest in my own printer to use for making hard copy proofs and packaging prototypes. I've never used anything beyond a photo printer, but I'm at the point where i think i need to make the jump into this realm for my clients.
I need one that can print white ink and varnishes, also be ables to print on various types of material including film.
>>257130
Protip - process printers will yield different results depending on profiles and substrate selection. There are also numerous additional factors, like relative colormetric and absolute settings. This can go on and on.
Unless your project is important enough to support spot printing you will have to supply the pantone matches and hope your printer knows how to on the fly calibrate.
This is a professor making a video lesson. Behind him there is someone that you should replace with Jack Nicholson or something like that. Let your imagination fly with this picture
I can't actually tell if the seemingly massive influx of PS requests are trolls or legitimately dumb / new people. "Let your imagination fly" seems like bait, imo.
Thoughts on the new logo?
decent
http://www.vulture.com/2016/02/metropolitan-museums-new-logo-the-met.html
This article is pretty bad. I don't understand people's obsession with "The" needing to be half the size (or significantly smaller) than "Met". I think there is a wonky balance happening between the two words but I would think that had more to do with the line width than the size of the words.
>>257113
Sucks Egyptian dick. Really bad. Did the CEO of Yahoo cobble that together in her spare time?
I own a foundry and business is slow. Learned design but not business. What does the font world need right now?
>>257107
A serif Comic Sans
more top shelf fonts designed for screens
a bitmap monospace font that supports ligatures
