Awesome designs great job!! Can you link your original sketches? Curious to see how much detail you put in the initial sketch before going digital, or if you even sketched at all. Just wanted to see a little bit of the process.
>>
>>246899
desu I think it's shit, too much detail
make it look flatter with low saturated colors

Where do you find freelance work?
I lost my job a month ago after a random drug test. I'm looking for work to pay the bills -- preferably online freelance. Where do designers on /gd/ find freelance work?

Share thread.
Post your best work here budding graphic designers and noobs alike. I wanna see what /gd has to offer. Extra points go to descriptions about why you like it, who commissioned it and what you want to do next.
I recently made a zine for the yearly zine fair in my area. Watching Mr Robot/Fight Club/Matrix and reading Chomsky's Media Control: The Spectacular Achievements of Propaganda put me in the mindset to make this. It was an educational experience that turned out better than expected. Currently making a CD wallet for another lil project.

Looks cool, will you show us the inside? By the way, part of me wants to see one of the letters in HERD be backwards but that may be too cliche... Whats your yearly zine fair called? Any websites to check out other people's work?
>>
>>238055
Thanks pal, and believe me- the zine's just one massive cliche xD But I had fun. It's basically about how the general public's voice really don't count for much when it comes to how a democratic society is run. You can vote now and then for a leader of the specialized class, but thats about it. The main character comes to this bitter realization, and struggles to come to terms with it.
As for the zine fair, it happens in Bristol, England. And workwise just browse behance, follow the dandad new blood competition winners, and follow Its Nice That :)

Looks like you quickly traced the scene in the office from fightclub, and added a tumblr nose, colors are nice though

How about a music art thread? Either designs you have created or pieces you are inspired by.

The main part you want to be looking at is that city thing, so I'd suggest making the buildings taller and possibly having the "camera" angle a bit higher to make the city thing look much larger when compared to everything else.

you got a nice signature

'Keeping your files and shit organised' thread.
How do you keep all your files neat and tidy /gd/?
I had a system a year ago, but it's gone to shit with file names like finalfinal123-final9.ai.
If you have a reference library filled with images and projects you like, how do you keep it organised so you can find things by subject etc?
I was thinking of using OneNote for my documents and write-ups, but I don't know if its versatile enough.
Share your ways /gd/, help us out.

OneNote is great. I use it all the time to collect my project's visual inspirational materials and notes. It gives you pages with infinite area so you can organize your textual info, pictures, screenshots, schemes, files etc in however impulsive chaotic fashion you like and still have them neatly organized in sections/notebooks and synced through Microsoft's cloud service (TM) on all of your compooters.
>I had a system a year ago, but it's gone to shit with file names like finalfinal123-final9.ai.
Just give them timestamps. Like Webpage_Home_View_20151218_1257.ps.
I made an after fx vid yesterday afternoon based on a haiku i read, it used a lotta layered stuff that i photoshopped for a consistent cool blue style as well as sound i mixed and edited to give kinda a cold feeling.
I'm like really really new to after effects, so it definitely aint the coolest thing you've seen ever (also i just do this for fun, not at a professional level), but what do ya'll think?

I think you need to look at better fonts. It was uber distracting how sub-par the fonts were, especially if you were working in AE.
It's like you exported the video without text and then finished it in Windows Movie Maker with whatever stock fonts you have.
>>
>>247874
Yeah I just used a basic calligraphy font. I'm pretty bad at finding good fonts that fit my stuff :/

Anyway to turn out a cool logo/gd of the company name Speekyo?
More info:
My father and I are working on a tech start up to pay for my college education. Most hardware/software stuff done, all that is left is branding. We thought the two e's could become something cool and y's are always edgy lol. We literally have no idea what we are doing, so any help/suggestions are greatly appreciated!

simplify. don't use drop shadows and/or gradients. try using small caps (makes the logo more friendly) for the one in the pic related i use the font kimberly and rockwell (the icon will be just a placeholder for an abstract logo)
>>
Hire a professional.
You've admitted to not knowing what you're doing, your product will only ever be as good as the branding that comes with it.
Hire a good designer, I beg you.

Hey /gd. I recently made a couple of design variants for my new channel. I was wondering what you thought of them. I'd love to see what kind of stuff you've all made as well.

Experiment with more complex forms to get interesting results.
Protip: Be aware that there should be the exact amount of anchors in both forms. Otherwise the blending turns to shit.
