Download Blender. It's free. Make your own. It's easy. Lighting is a bit of a trick though.

Start with a new company name that isn't terrible.

>>257029
Seriously, what an awful name. Makes it seem like they don't actually give a shit about whatever service they provide.

>>257030
Exactly, not to mention it gives no clue as to what they do, are they an Uber like company? Taxi? Mechanic? Insurance? All we can gather from that name is it has something to do with cars which could be any number of different things.

Thanks senpai

>>254888
I think it would be alright if it was just rotated 90 degrees clockwise...so you know...it makes a U at least..

>>254888
What the fuck? At least I could recognize the "U" in the car approaching me so I knew it was an Uber, the new symbol makes no sense. If I called for a car, and that came up to me I wouldnt believe it

It was designed by their douchebag CEO, that's why.

You literally need to glitch your image. Check the sidebar on /r/glitch_art. There's tons of info there.

Personally I recommend using this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lucagrillo.ImageGlitcher

It gives random results every time you use it, and it doesn't break images completely or glitch it too much like the wordpad effect tends to do.

this one you can actually control what you glitch out and such.

Ouch, what's the font used in the FST XL image? Looks like some kind of Pan Asian Engrish serif knockoff. Too tall, weird weights, bad color... HEY BUT OUTSIDE OF THAT IT'S TERRIFIC

The map is their most iconic piece of design. Rather showing the geographic locations, it show relative positions of stations and line to produce a clear map which is easy to read. Remember: the map is not the territory.

Jesus, colors contrast is horrible!
My 2cents, since I'm more used to Inkscape, is to bezier the shit of a line. Just draw a curve, senpai, and change those colors.

>>257477
recreate the outer curve, then use path finder to divide them while using the inner-line-things as guide

I just had a sweet revelation I thought I'd share.
There is a lot of talk about how to properly price a freelance job.
My epiphany is that it's the basic interest formula. I=PRT
So I used to price things on Value=Rate x Time

But really it's Interest, I'll explain...
We should be charging based off of investment/returns, not flat labor rates.

Example

you do a shit poster, 3 hour deadline at $60 and hour, you shave your numbers and charge 140$ Because you fucking know they can barely afford that shit. Meanwhile you do the same work for a company with money...
They can pay the $180 like it's a bee sting and you are a ripped off asshole, so the rate is not doing you a service.

So algebra is here to save you.
I=PRT

You get a job, evaluate the prospective earnings (that's (I) (interest))
Then look at your client, guesstimate their total expenditure for this event (that's (P) principle)
Now comes your input, what is your rate? What percent of their investment/earnings does your work deserve? If you are playing along, demand a 10% commission so I can do the math quickly.
So there's our rate for argument's sake, 10%, which is .1 and is represented by (R). (T) is the period of time your client is literally paying you money.
So let's creat a specturm of expamples.
Poorfag A has $200(principle) for a GD budget, and a 3 hour dead line. I=PRT = I/P=RT

So - x/200=.1(3) | x = 60
Richafag has 4,500(principle), same formula.

So - x/4500=.1(3) | x = 1,350

>>257440
So to give a non mathematical run down. If you knew you customer was ready to spend about $4,000 on consumation and you were to spend 3 hours working on said branding,you shoudl charge 1,350 dollars.


We can apply this formula to any job, just adjust the rate (R) as you see fit. Think of it like this, what % of you clients buget per hour should go to you?

Here are a couple examples....
"MINIE'S MUFFINS"
the customer has invested 12,000 in renovations, now they want a logo, web page, vehicle letttering and main ID sign. First thing we do is assume the adddtional post renovation tasks will cost ~3,000.

So 12,000 + 3,000 + 15,000.


I(your Profit) = ((P) 15,00)((R).1)((T)guess 30 hours for webb page, logo developement, sign layout and assorted tasks)

I = 1,500x.1x30 = $4,500


So this is roughly a $4,500 project, assuming all branding responsibilities including web presence.
Next...

"Fags finicky franks"

He owns the trailer, needs no web presence because it's corporate, simply needs you to adapt the existing branding standards to his trailer + local swag.

(I) is our profit
=
(P) principal - he's spent about 25,000 on the food truck, we'll call he's ready to spend an abysimall 1,000 moving forward.
(I) is our rate - we'll stay with %10 (.1)
(t) our estimated time to set the corporate graphics up scaled and viable to meet his new trailers proportional limitations. ( call it 2)

So x = 1,000(.1)(2) + x = 200


So you should get around $200 for this assuming the corporate artwork was provided to you.

Interesting. I like the general idea, but how do you even gauge someone's Principle? If you just ask "what's the maximum you're willing to spend for this project," any number you end up getting that's even remotely close to that will seem like you're trying to rip them off.

Well don't be a cock-tease, man. Post that shit up. Tell me there's a section on how to properly use their giant blue circle.

There literally is.


This is actually one of the weaker standards guides I've come across. They spend pages explicitly detailing things previous made obvious.
