>"sketches need to be identical to how your final piece turns out"
Your teachers sound like hacks with loud opinions. A sketch is meant to save yourself time, nothing more. Wether you actually sketch or not is optionial.

More /ic then /gd/, but:
>Art school. One teacher frequently cites Betty Edwards's "Drawing with the right side of the brain" as if it's the end-all-be-all of drawing.

Good teacher experience:
>Media art school. Teacher shits on everything we make, especially any typography reminiscent of dafont. Says typography is most important.
That very same year he stopped working there, he was pretty old though. In hindsight i would probably have loved him now.

my gd teacher tried making us create a video using powerpoint instead of after effects (Ae was on the computers) the only reason was because he didnt know how to use Ae

Was thinking about using this a couple of weeks ago, but grew a brain and realised that it is just so fucking plebtier.

trying to come up with something better, but have too much other work coming in so I don't really have time to focus on it...

First name starts with M.

yup
is it always you who kept posting variations of this?

just grab a blank sheet of paper and do something completely different - from scratch

do at least three
put them aside for a day or two, and break out your same rote format

I love this. Something's off about it though. Might be that the logo is to thick. Not sure. Love where you're going with it though.

>>264075
Have you tried making it look more like an M? I get that you're going for the implied shape, but maybe just a bit less implication would make it more unique.

Here's mine that I've been playing with. I only just decided to start doing some freelance work. Looking for a harsh critique

What is that border around the font?
Why did you put that there?

Why do you have that line above your name?
Are you sure this will be readable in print?

1. It's spelled "Consultation".
2.The design looks cheap and amateurish.
3. Try putting all the services you provide in the back and your contact info below it.
4. I personally don't like the color scheme you chose. The quality will depend what type of paper you print them on.
5. That line above the name doesn't really work. I first read it as "Ona Iuh Fitzgerald" then looking it at again I saw Tonatiuh.

Just make some more mock ups, at least a dozen more.

I like Bernie's blue the best, but the star on the "i" is kinda small and not properly aligned. Trump's typeface has a nice, solid, vintage feel to it. Other than that they're all pretty average.

All time best over here though.

That Walker one is nice af, if a bit cliche

That H looks like it belongs to a delivery company.

based on a quick look at your image, i'd say it's too low res and should be manually retrace with coreldraw (essentially recreate it from scratch)

>>263798
I was afraid someone would say that...

there isn't any easy way to isolate just the eclipse/sunburst?

kek, might as well share the real story:
I'm a /gd/ student, one of my teacher made this - it's supposed to be an invitation for our final gallery. Embarrassing or what?

>>263769
My tutor's logo is literally a black circle.
That's all, just a circle.
What's worse is that he paid someone to do it for him, and he's supposed to be a graphic designer himself.
Just... what

the text is extremely hard to read on almost all of those, dont place it in the middle of the image and use contrasting colours.

Transparent layer over the original picture and smudge the flag over the fingers.

>>263700
Thank you, but that's how to make the flag look more natural on the skin with the position on the fingers, I was wondering how can I make the flag blend with the skin, make it look like someone painted it.

>>263706
I mean this one doesn't look like it's painted either

4/10. how hard is to make a circle? some of the shapes need a lot of work the T and C are unclear and you shouldn't use spiked endings that much.

The spacing makes no sense.

The shapes and line widths aren't symmetrical and makes the logo itself extremely hard to read.

I couldn't tell that the logo itself is supposed to be a T and C.

Think of something that relates to the blog's contents and draw symbolism from that.

>>263632
Also check the fucking catalog for the crit thread first before wasting a thread for your own bullshit.
