Please help me save this trainwreck of a Kickstarter header image. Excuse the furries, but it's who I'm marketing to.
I'm trying to display the fact that I'm selling cutesy socks, and I have the following suggestions:
">Shitty serif font
You're trying to appeal to people based on cute socks. Use a cute, friendly font.
>Shit composition
Either have the characters be accents for the name and put them behind or make them the focus and actually show off the socks. They should be showing off the paw pads under the socks.
>Banding in background
Learn how to into dithering, faggot. Again, the background should emphasise the cuteness angle. Muted generic blue doesn't help. Try something like paw pad pattern background with pastel colours.
tldr;
At least try to make it look like you spent more than 30 seconds on it."
Anything to add to that?
If you already have those suggestions, why didn't you implement them? Come back once you're done...
>>251436
I'm looking for anything else they might've missed so that I can make as many corrections as possible all at once. Suggestions for an appropriate font, for example, would be appreciated.

General Critique Thread, I'll dump my first and only works and I want your most brutal opinion on them.
Dumping and shamelessly self-bumping

What's the deal with "/Biz/ness?" It honestly throws me off completely because everything else is all professional until you read that, or is it a placeholder?
I'm trying to get faster at finishing projects and want to know what other people's times are and what a seasoned professional would be at for a specific project. Pic related took 3 hours from ideation to completion
These two (pic coming) took 2 hours
I know that the colors look like minons and I know that banners are played the fuck out. This is just going off of the schools design standards
This series took me 6 hours, with 4 hours of reworking based on client input
I making a poster for a band that are playing.
Need some inspiration, so please post your gig-posters or other related work
pic somewhat related
I really like Dustyn Logan. Has this sort of "ad found in a 70's porno mag" feel

What do you think about mine?

I like the concept of it, but I feel that the middle part is a bit too jagged.

Gonna be making some websites for my portfolio but don't know what to make them about.
I don't want to go with the cliche of coffee shop, bar, etc.
What are some good themes to make a website for a portfolio?
>>253579
>Websites for your portfolio
Wait, what? Just make a portfolio website?
It will show them how you code and design?
Want more designs? Them make more layouts and just upload pictures.
>>253582
>Just make a portfolio website?
I'm a web designer only so my portfolio content are websites.
It makes no sense to start on my portfolio if i don't have content.
So i need to make random websites to include later on my portfolio website.

In this ITT we modernize old looking logos.
Horrible color choice. Try a higher contrast, right now it looks like it was done in ms:paint. Also, all you did was trace it, try adding something new to the table.
Brighter colors wouldn't hurt.
>>244767
Take off the gradients and make it symetrical. Both of them look horrible because of the asymmetric carrot and gradients.

the fuck is this garbage
/gd/, I'm depressed. I work at an architectural signage company and I'm still going to school... The company hired me to help the art department with any easy jobs. I.E, if a hospital needs a simple sign, I'll do the job. Think of it this way... The art department has 3 people, and I'm basically their 3.5, rather than 4.
As for graphic designing, I'm still a student and the experience I have with it is free lancing. I've done some social media graphics for my previous job before my old boss has to shut her store down, and I've managed a street team for a local music promotion company here and also done some free lancing promotional stuff for them...
This company I work at wants to help me grow. The project manager gave me the task of creating interior signage for a multi-million hotel that is being built. I received feedback from the client and they said that it basically looked like shit. Aka "The initial response from the ownership group on this signage package is that it is not meeting their desired intent."
I feel down in the dumps and inadequate. This is a big project for me and I want to run away from it.
Here's some thumbnail concepts I provided to the client, and their color palette is on the top left and right. Their logos are birds, a feather, and an H with fucking birds coming out of it. Also bottom left is missing a right arrow.
If I can get any feedback on how I can improve on these signs, please let me know...I have bad enough confidence, but I'm afraid that if I even react this fucking depressed to what the client just said, then I feel like gfx designing may not even be for me anymore. I hate getting my confidence hurt, disappointing people and being disappointed.

I can see some things that could help, mostly having to due with your angles. Can you post some of your reference materials so we can get an idea of what you are hoping to achieve.
>>255510

dont care about your emo ass but that's how it is in corporate. dont take it personal, even big agencies has to redo shit. Tweak and let your manager take the battles and get the feedback
>>255516
>reference materials
Top left was going to be something like pic related. My company primarily uses acrylic that gets painted. All the letters are raised and ADA complaint. For the black/grey restroom signs on the left, I was hoping to get the silver parts of that to be painted/brushed aluminum.
A friend of mine suggested that there are too many birds, which I agree with. Is it not necessary to put the hotel's logo on the signs?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Who did it best /gd/?
I like Van Patten's card the best, but Paul Allen's is fairly nice as well.
>>255338
I am a fan of one line on the bottom so Allen is off the list. I also like textures so Van Patten or Bryce did a nice job. If only Bryce moved the top row just a tad i think it would be perfect. perhaps a different font too
>>255341
Personally I'm not a fan of Bryce using the same Sans-Serif fonts for everything. For the info around the outside sure, but it looks a bit bland for a business card.
Why do all four use mixed case small caps for the first name, and full sized all caps for the last name? Is that a thing? Bugs the fuck outa me.
Patten for me tho. Fix the weird case, and go with semi-bold instead of full bold.
Sup /gd/ , I recently lost/passed on a job offered up to me by a friend for a logo/package design. The main reasons (which may seem stupid) are because first, she was extremely adamant about using Papyrus for the logo and second, inevitably because regardless what I showed her for concepts she failed to mention that what she wanted was a recreation of her initial "concepts" and not an original logo creation. I have little to no experience in freelance work so I eventually lost the work. Pic is what she ended up with by going to another designer. She's completely satisfied and is convinced it's a great logo. I just want to know what /gd/ thinks...
>>255077
Ugly. Your friend has terrible taste and no filter. I can see where the designer was thinking, but every bad impulse was followed, and not even refined.
Really, if this is what she's happy with, you can't convince her otherwise. But you can be satisfied with knowing you dodged a rough customer.
Out of curiosity, can we see what you pitched?
>>255078
This is the first rough I gave her, I had other a bunch of other concepts of the logo as well but I didn't even really get a chance to show them to her
>>255080
Looking back now I see obvious design flaw.
what she didn't like was that the logo wasn't whimsical enough and the whole thing was too "manly"
Latest work - Astronaut by me.
Also general Photoshop Photo manipulation thread.
whats the manipulation?
u stole the pic of an astronaut put some filter on it and changed the background.

Always charge customers, or you are devaluing the craft. Also, kill yourself
