no, but follow your dreams I'd say

I ask not because I'm interested in getting product into them (I've worked in vending), but if anyone else here has. All of it feels very late 90s/early 00s and I'm curious to know if they're just reusing designs or if they ever bother to make new content.

That is if they sell at all, the few machines I've worked with would only get MAYBE 2-3 sales a week. Assuming a 100 pcs machine load, it'd take at least 2 years to go through it.

the fuck is this thing

Thanks for the response il try my best.

This thing is a bit of a mess and an eyesore in my opinion. It looks like someone took a good design then tried to shake it like a Polaroid picture.

The letters should be angled the same way as each other and the tape. And they should be the same color or if you want to make one of them different it has to a complimentary color, not a different shade of pink.

Also, what is the point of the background and why is there a root growing off of the corner. It only works to draw your eye away from the logo and further detracts from any composition you have. The lettering above in cursive is absolutely illegible.

Lastly, the letters look like they sliding off. And over an interesting design poorly executed.

sauce?
my guess is 3d parametric or sub-polygon displacement surface with a color gradient made in post. or maybe an edited pic or something. search for aadrl

>>278258
Looked at tuts and can't find anything similar to original pic.

>>278249
That looks like motion trails for a particle system.

>>278222
pretty bad but i like the name. the circle doesn't have a purpose, the text position looks awkward and it seems pretty easy to forget.

>>278222

There is zero relationship between the circle and the text inside it
The text needs to follow the curves of the circle rather than being awkwardly cropped like it is now
"productions" is too small and has no relationship to "red iris"
You're using detail lines that are WAY too thin to be visible at a smaller size (eg the top of a webpage or the header of a document)
Why "Productions"? The word always comes off as amateurish to me. "Red Iris" on its own is a much more memorable name

Pretty poor construction/thought all round desu

thanks anons, expect a better logo soon.

there's an interesting tip i heard years ago when i was trying to get /fit/ they say you should make smaller goals for each week and for each day aswell and also take pictures of the progress and have one picture of your ultimate goal on a place where you can watch it everyday when you're waking up. anyways i always keep a list of things i want to do each day and every week and also i don't know anyone who does this but i also have one huge list with "backlog" of detailed designs or drawings i want to make once i have some spare time.

I had an idea for a project I wanted to do this summer but I hit a wall during early development. In order to proceed I needed to see some pages from Neubau Modul, however I was unable to find any pdfs and my tutor (who has a copy) hasn't responded to my emails. So I've basically lost interest in the project at this point. Will probably pick it back up later.

It's a sign you don't have neither the ambition to be successful, nor the love of graphic design you thought you had. Years from now, your colleagues are going to be raking in massive dosh while you're in the same rut just thinking "I'll get around to it THIS time for sure." Or more likely, you won't even be in classes or on your career path in any discernable way anymore.

Your ego's knee-jerk reflex might be dismissive of this notion because admitting it might be true means you're not doing what you know you're supposed to. Proving it wrong would mean doing all that stuff you've been putting off.

do you have a website?

>>278182
you should rather think of something that has a personal meaning imho.

>>278182

Spacing.

Now that's a name I can get behind! ;P

Congrats you flipped the Quen sign from The Witcher

Thanks.

tits

>ok

just ok XD

Once again a quality thread from >>

>>277868
it's ok but the typefaces aren't really good tbqh. maybe add a little more space in between acoustic and paneles and also try a few different versions with different fonts and ask around for opinions on the best one.
here's some fonts that could look better

Home Brush by V.M.F Font
Steelmond
Nabila
Thander
Suargie
Anastasya
SokaQola
Fourth
Yellow Design Studio - ThirstyRough
Metroscript
Mastoc

>>277868
>that drop shadow

>>277992
Yeah, it's very distracting.

I do like what you're going for here OP. Try going in the same direction with some script fonts.

You don't want to work for people who request all those things.

>>277800
make some friends through specializing you dumb frogposter

>>277858
But what's a good path to specialize? This isn't about making connections, connections are essential in any job/field.

Get the raw vectors out of Illustrator as SVG and do the blur manually by editing the markup.
You can apply SVG filters in Illustrator too but they've never worked like I want them to for me at least.

"Apply gradient across stroke" maybe?

Won't look exactly like a blur, but you can get it pretty close IMO. It's def the easiest solution.

what version of illustrator are you using?

Just exported svg file - no links or ties to *.png in the svg code.
