Flip horizontal and zoom/cut off a piece of it
Just a guess

>How do I modify a stock image so it can't be reverse searched in Google Image Search & Tineye?

You pay for it fag

Tried flip horizontal and cropping already. Nope

>>243441
It's a public domain image that hundreds of websites use.

no it is not

>>243090
Okay, the idea basic idea is solid.
But it looks just like a quick mock-up in Photoshop.
And that typeface? Are you kidding me?

If it's supposed to be ironic, it somehow missed me.

I turned the spare bedroom into my office/game room. The walls are a dark blue. I think the paint color was called 'Blue Suede Shoes'. Similar to the attached image.
Walking into the room, you immediately feel cool, calm, and relaxed. I have no issues getting work done in there.

I don't have enough space, I'll keep a office and bedroom in the same place. I was going to use something like you, a mix between purple and dark blue. I live in a very sunny place.

>Hey guys, I'm better than you. Here is the proof.

Well Sandrin, it is curtainly pretty. I don't like your font selections, and honistly your site feels like overkill.

If you have all the experience I would figure your resume would be enough. You still list all your skills like you aren't sure of yourself, and you list a number of other things I would expect to see from someone trying to pad out their one-page resume.

You should consider simplifying as your produced websites and personal experiments feels like more than enough to sell yourself.

>Also, take off your damn personality type.

Interesting, I assume the whole thing's a viral commercial for anti-emetics?

thanks for the feedback.

Their 60's logo (not sure if I like this more or their new one more)

current i'm assuming? there are a lot of vintage nba logos i love (some of them admittedly kind of ugly, but fuck it)

current top tier:
Golden State Warriors
Atlanta Hawks
and Chicago Bulls because they've never needed to change. It's so iconic. Doesn't really make any sense but it works.

I'm biased though because I'm a chicagoan. Blackhawks jersey/logo is the best in sports.

some of the destiny logos/icons are bretty gub

Fairly easy to follow trends, but a real fucking skill to learn good, timeless design and then meaningfully apply it. Imagine all the web artists that have some bit of minor success because they gave a bunch of characters tumblr noses, and then consider where they are now and if that's really sustainable, if anyone really considers them good, and if they can get a real job out of it. I think you'll realize the difference between copy pasting meaningless hipster logos or slapping down bits of text in left justified Helvetica and the practice of meaningfully and thoughtfully communicating a message through visual communication accompanied by any number of tools, whether physical or digital, each one taking time to get anywhere near good at.

tl;dr this thread is fucking pointless and you already know the answer but I'm okay with it as long as you post more figure drawings

A few unorganized thoughts:

It takes more than online tutorials, college courses and pirated copies of adobe products to be a good graphic designer. There's some things that you just can't learn or teach someone.

Ahmed Tuctuc the VII and his $3 logos have had a huge impact on graphic design. Quantity over quality has become the norm. Sub-par, even bad design is acceptable.

Over the years, I've noticed that the majority of young designers lack any skill OFF the computer. Ask them to sit and sketch a basic still life on paper and they wont know where to begin. It's really sad.

The old term 'starving artist' is no longer valid, a 'stupid artist' is more appropriate.

Not many people in the art/design field have much knowledge when it comes to business. As a freelance artist you need to understand basic business principals if you want to succeed. I'd highly recommend that anyone who plans on freelancing to take some business classes.

let me share my point of view.

there will always be design everywhere. good design and bad design.
The main difference about art and design is that design has a function, a design has a practical measurable goal unlike a piece of art. design lacks the freedom illustration has when it comes to artistic styles.
Design is run by principles, and you can learn those principles just like you can learn perspective in drawing, but to be able to do good design.
not everyone can do it, at least not people who lack the understanding of the reasons behind why design is needed in the first place.

Another aspect of design, wich is one overlooked by many, is the real reason why universities have careers using design as their label.
the technical aspect.
Design has many designers, but design doesn´t have as many people prepared to do it well. There are a lot of things they will teach you if they teach you well, that have to do more with machinery and project the in itself that have nothing to do with how well you can use illustrator or how well you can do mockups and are things that are of so much use and make designers stand in their field as professionals.
A designer is someone who solves problems professionally.

A kid who just started his photography classes will take 100 photographs, and at least 1 will be good.
A professional photographer will take 100 photos, and all 100 will be good.

Same with professional designers.
same with any other professional field.

Thanks again for any real/constructive feedback

Cheers

PS the focus of this question if not clear is the actual 3D render of the bottle and any related effects, not the label on the bottle.

Thanks

honestly OP, if all you want to do is to vectorize it and change slight things, there's software that can do it for you (pic related).
I'm just saying this because I guess that's a logo for your metal band.

Hiring a real designer will make the logo better. There's lots of room for improvement, the K looks like an X and the E is weird.

>>242357

It's a T and yeah that's why I wanted to hire someone, just to clean it up, make some improvements but nothing drastic.

I think "Innovation" is the most challenging characteristic. I was thinking in the obvious modern typeface, but it definitely does not scream innovation.

Fuck off, do your own homework.

Bro, it's a cool exercise, there are lots to be learned sharing our thoughts.
