But a bitch aint one?

But our logo ain't one

It's spec work that cheapens the industry.

With that being said, I participated in 99 design contests while in school and shortly after graduation. It was one of the few ways that I could get some experience working with clients and progressing my skills in corporate branding since most businesses weren't willing to hire a recent college grad without a job history. I made some money from the site but ultimately moved on to other things since the payout vs. the work put in sucked.

No, because I am not ugly as fuck.

Also: how to cure it???

My best bet is After Effects. Track the left eye's relation to the right eye, bind that to a null object and bind a copy of the video to that very null object. Fine-tune the position and mask shit out.

>>257083
Thank you. I’d love to be able to do it with Blender.

OP here, pic also related.
It's something I did for a St Valentine's contest we held. I know it's not perfect, but it's honestly easier for me to just do what I want to do because I can't communicate what I have in mind to the designers.

Nobody likes crowded menus. The focus should be on either pictures of the food, or the text. Take HopCat's menu for example (a bar and burger joint in my city) [ Menu Link: http://www.underconsideration.com/artofthemenu/project_images/hopcat_lansing_PDF_03.gif]

They have no pictures, and the yellow one white (shockingly) isn't painful to read, then again it's a pale yellow, not a strong one. Their menu is simple, and of all the restaurants I've dined at, it was the best designed.

Then again, I'm biased with a strong love for minimalism and simple things, so take from this what you will.

Shameless self-bump.

I'm going to be very honest. Ready?

Terrible logo. Tacky font choice. Crappy rendering of a scroll. Go on upwork or fiverr and hire an Indian to make a better logo worth a days worth of food in the US (which is quite a bargain).

Let the customer pay.

>>260600
use open type or learn how to make them yourself. sometimes you can buy fonts really cheap if you don't buy the whole set (things like extra-condensed, extra black italic, extra light italic, etc).

>>260613
>or learn how to make them yourself
How?

I found that thing truly inspiring

>>258391
Its genius really. Brilliant in the sense that every time you go back to it, you find something else that you missed the previous times.

>>258391

Yep, this has trancended good and bad to become something truly spectacular.

I always liked this one

>>255608
Get to friends a few

i like extremely soft gradients so its enough you dont notice it but it also doesnt look extremely plain.

Flat is superior

>>254619
This, flat just generally looks better.

If you're just learning the program to design this one Logo I'd pay the money dude.

From a monetary standpoint, this is going to cost you a lot of time which you could use to earn money instead.

do you think it'd even be worth it to get a personal logo done if it's just for my personal website which hosts my resume (and i'm not even in the gd industry)

not a designer, but I like it.

>>260470
I don't know, just looks like some serif font to me. a lot of serif logos have been getting rid of the thin lines but I don't think it would work with your's, but maybe.

Another example.

Or what is the technical term for it? I can Google it myself.

Thanks for any help or legitimate link to a tutorial.

This was probably made with that AFX lens flare plugin the name of which I don't remember, then exported desu.

>>260738
video copilot's optical flares

why would you ever want to anchor point arms to snap to a grid? do you hate smooth lines?

I do agree that CC is the worst thing adobe has ever done. Rolling updates are the worst, especially when you are paying a subscription fee and they don't really add useful features, but break others.

At least other industry leading software companies (protools, etc) allow customers to do Subscription based or buy their latest version for full price.

>>259367
In some cases it's really convenient to have snapping to grid since you can be 100% sure what you're drawing is aligned properly instead of having to eyeball it, at least that's why it's so important to me

>>259373
I've used this before when working with assemetrical objects.

looks clean but it looks like it doesn't really serve a purpose.

>>260404

where's the logo? I just see a font

Not everything needs a logo, Google, Pintrest are examples. It is clean, good spacing. I dont know what it looked like previously so cant really comment on how well it works as a rebrand, that aside its decent. I'd make the purpose of the site more apparent at a glance probably. Also, is it too clean?... maybe.

>>260249
literally just walk into your local computer store and buy something cheap
