I had to take drafting as a civil engineer. Your best bet is to try to get into electrical for buildings. There are some very specialized AutoCAD packages for it. You're probably going to need to learn electrician stuff/building codes. I also had to do some electronics drafting. I imagine most electrical engineers do that themselves because the drafting software is also design/logic testing/prototyping software so it alll gets rolled together.

Is the job outlook ok? Or is drafting becoming obsolete?

>>309734
well it varies in architecture firms. Small offices, pretty much everyone but the principals drafts one way or the other, due to the lack of manpower. On the plus side, for juniors out of school, it allows you to do other tasks other than just drafting.

On medium size offices, you can start out drafting and have the opportunity to move up if you so choose, but many people don't want to be stuck as draftsmen.

In corporate offices, juniors for the most part are stuck as draftsmen, or pigeon-holed. You rarely will get the opportunity to move up the corporate ladder unless you like drafting or you move on to a different firm.

Drafting is still going on strong but you will hit a ceiling quickly if you want to make a full living. At the basic, you must know Autocad, but Revit is already coming on strong as an industry standard. It is easy to learn but the learning curve shoots straight up really fast once you actually work on a project, since they are rarely simple boxes.

I love cuz this basic athletic posturing you've established here, even a subtle iraq reference, I'd rather see a lot more detail in the rest of the designs- but the ladies stuff is still great;that's how novelty sells. I guess you'd be making Milwaukee proud? Just frame things a little more like paintings.

>autodesk
you mean 3ds or maya?
maya is great but it takes time to learn, c4d is easier for beginners and there's even a a tool called 'polygon reduction'

c4d remove the phong tag and your done.

It's amazing, very avant-garde. It's a stunning commentary on the graphic design scene.

10/10 would fuck to death and cry at funeral. Then do the same to OP so he could never make a lesser symbol.

I want to say this might be the, or one of the best graphical work i've ever seen in my life.

Dude just get the trail version
it has almost every feature except one. If you want to delete something you can just use the "show in finder" feature and move it to trash.

I've done a bit of work here and there involving FDA/nutrition labels. My experience was the same as yours - approvals and final tech/copy was always fucking slow to arrive. It seems like a lab or something was involved in the approval(?)... I'm not sure. But it did take days to get the ok.

Wasn't the only job we had at the time though, so I was working on other projects while we waited.

>>310985

yeah, we use a few different labs so it depends. Sometimes I can fill my time with other projects but, especially lately, the design revisions are so minimal. I have a stack of clients I've been hounding for their art files and they basically blow me off. So right now if I'm not waiting on supplement facts, I'm waiting on clients to follow up with needed files. The company is small so its just me and my art director in the design department and she doesn't get on my case but my other boss doesn't understand. He'll just come to my cubicle like 3 times a day asking if I'm "banging those labels out" so I always leave something open on my screen so he shuts up. It's not even that I'm trying to be lazy, there are just some days where there is literally nothing I can work on. And I can only follow up with clients so many times before they ask me to stop.

anyway, I'll probably go back to fixing up my portfolio and I'll just start sending some resumes out. at least in the mean time its decent pay.

I know this feel, if you're really desperate for something to do you could try to find something else to do when design work is scarce. Bit of a can of worms though, sometimes there's no design work needed at my workplace so I end up doing data entry type shit all day

Another one falls into the pit. Nice knowin' ya, mate.

the trick to fiverr is making something useful that appeal to lots of people and that it doesn't take you longer than half an hour to make (for example drawing cartoonish portraits or making logos fast)

for making fast money it depends of how good you are (there's digitalpoint contests, nameproscontests, designhill, 99designs) i would say maybe try at freelancer.com since there's lots of very different jobs daily, if you have a portfolio its easier and you'll make more money, if not then join a contest just be smart on the ones you pick.

Why so? I'm asking how it is, I haven't tried yet
