I thought it was a tiny elephant with a fat trunk. Doesn't even look like an elephants trunk, it's too short

>>300688
>Should I kms already?

Yes.
Elephant Fly would have been a much more interesting image than Fly Elephant.

if you don't have trust fund bux from your parents to prop you up then you should probably let go of the dream of living in a city like New York for now.

It's time to face the fact that this country is an oligarchy. If you're not from old money, you're fucked. Don't expect companies to have pity on you.

>>300652
I should've mentioned i currently do work full time in NYC but looking for a more challenging position. currently work a design/codemonkey job

I just feel bad for these companies. I literally close the tab when I read these. They're alienating everyone with a full time job when they make temp positions. NO ONE would leave their job to work temp. Nobody. It's ridiculous.

Then, I just hope to god they become frustrated at the end of the day when they get all crappy applications because they're too wishywashy to offer a full-time.

>>300648
What angers me the most about said companies is that they'll always keep their reputation intact and they will always have the upper hand and they will always be seen as a demigod and you always have to present yourself with humiliation, because they don't want 'ego people', but 'working people', aka slaves.

Nah, dude. That flame design is old, overdone, super dorky, and just plain bad. That shirt would make you look like an old bald dude who loves classic cars and has erectile disfunction, or a clueless third grader from 1998.

Keep working at designing stuff, but go in a different direction, because this isn't good.

It'd earn you a one-way ticket to Flavortown.

>>300625
first one but the dog is a little too big and the black hiragana with dark background doesn't read too well.

>>300649

Yeah you're right about the dog, I'll go with the first one. Once i'm home I'll mess around with the black Kanji and try and make it pop more. Thanks man

Are you making stationery or a fucking letterhead?

Also, do not try to turn your thread into anything more than what it obviously is.

>>300585
Haha ok man ill try next time. Good artical thanks.

It's cool but maybe a bit too much? Would work if it was for a powerful knight's order though.

Thanks, but aren't those for cataloging?
I'm looking for something like this http://openexhibits.org, not just for archiving things.

post some examples/concepts and we'll tell you which to choose and what to change.

I guess one flaw is the blue background around the thumbnail. Probably not ideal

>>300225
you gotta add more "data" to it. more colors, filter, shit, anything.

i think changing the compression could be more faster, or maybe some steganography method -link below

>>300230
*way faster

Photoshop is fine. There are also some dimensions you can look up if you want to make sure a certain part shows up in thumbnails/etc., but that really only matters if you're doing company branding and need to have text show up properly.

Also, Facebook's compression is complete ass and I honestly wouldn't worry about it too much. I'd even suggest only posting cropped versions on FB and directing people to your actual site/portfolio/whatever you use to see the full thing.

bump for interest.

Also here's what I've already done, some of the letters are a bit rough though. It might be easier to just make a clean cutout of the head wouldn't it?

>>300198
This is just trash. Stop doing what you're doing and never do it again.

>>300198

Anon, don't cut the head using a wand, you won't be able to do it. Use the pen tool instead, and draw lines around the contour yourself. Then just wash 1-2px on that contour so it is not extra sharp and you should have a decently cut out head, then just cut the letters with a very lo-sens wand, or simply type the letters yourself.

It's a bit too sterile for something that's probably supposed to appear more playful

I like the U concept.

I don't understand where "Do your Wurst" fits in with a catering company besides being a funny pun. It's a bit forced.

>>299477
>I don't understand where "Do your Wurst" fits in with a catering company

It has a very sausage-centric menu.

>>299478
Obviously but there is nothing clever about it. For ex.

>Wurst comes to Wurst
>Wurst-case scenario
>Your own Wurst Enemy

Are shitty alternatives as well.

these are some drawings, obviously the lines are not as crisp
