It depends on how much illustrating you do

600 on mass drop right now
i have one because i minored in illustration, so unless you are going to be drawing a fuckton, just get an intuos

I can say for certain, that a Ugee would be a bit more cost effective.

honestly the only thing I'd rework is the face and shape of the body. make it look more like shoulders and not just like his body is a big ball. the face just seems a little off with the shadows. id consider making the eyes the same so it doesnt look like hes missing an eyebrow.

other than that its pretty solid man. Mascot logos can be a bitch to get done but I think this is a pretty solid logo aside the couple of minor tweaks. good job. dont be so critical of yourself.

Hockey could be more readable. Though it could sacrifice the emphasis on leprechaun. Nice job.

If you get any other response from /gd/ to this question that isn't, "Badly, kys immediately.", then you've done just fine. Don't overthink it.

And as somebody who's done design work for OHL teams for several years, I've got no problem saying that this is a good logo.

have you considered doing the same monogram style with solid shapes instead of lines? I like the idea but the outline look kinda makes it seem more busy than it should be for a logo. kind of reminds me of a maze. it may not be as easily recognizable as a combined M and D as you'd like.

I think the max davis text is fine. if you keep the line work for the icon of the logo I think the weight of that font matches up nicely.

Thank you very much for the feed back senpai.
I will definitely try your suggestions.

well, you can search for similar fonts using tags like 'fantasy fonts' or 'fantasy titles fonts' and then and try to find something you like. and if the license allows it you could modify the letters and add those calligraphy ornaments afterwards on illustrator.

sony vegas or after effects.

or adobe premiere

>all that animation tweening
Literally could be any video editor with this ability. Just make the graphics in Photoshop and tween the shit out of everything in the video editor.

there's different ways but try to learn some programming fundamentals first.

on youtube search for
"cs50 2016"
is the computer science introduction course at harvard it has lectures on the basics of programming, php, html etc- i liked the 2015's playlist better tho and also search for cs50 seminars for specific things)

Go here >>>/g/wdg

codecademy.com

shit teaches you all you need to know, front end and back end, for free.

it's completely interactive, too. you're not just reading a block of text for an hour straight.

Looks good I'll browse around!
Thanks.

This. Can't go wrong with Lynda for GD tutorials.

How about you give us advice on how to become a BETTER developer?

try photoshop, also krita is nice.

oh cool i haven't seen that vid
that software is called max/msp/jitter by cycling74 (the band autechre released an album using only maxmsp a few years ago and there's this quote i read somewhere 'max is so powerful it can do anything you want'). i've been using it for years and it's pretty amazing but also expensive however there's also the free version called puredata/GEM by the same company but it doesn't look as pretty as max plus max has a plugin for ableton called max4life.

you can find books/pdf's easily
here's one i recommend
Demystifying Max/MSP -by Paul Schuette (free on the weeb)

>https://cycling74.com/wiki/index.php?title=Max_Documentation_and_Resources

another good software is TouchDesigner (for live music/VJ/generative art) or even Processing+framestein (free and it has a big community but it isn't VPL and you'll need some knowledge of programming)

and there's also a few others more experimental like nodebox (mac), quartz composer (mac), reacTivision, SuperCollider, structure synth, Context Free, VSXu, FLxER, FreeFrameSDK and Nato.0+55+3d

here's some vids

< i just made this in a few mins based on 3 images i found searching for spaghetti, bowl and spikes vectors it looks like an icon but you can have it if you want it

Cool idea! I don't really like the spikes, it looks too much like a crown to me, but I really like the "spaghetti" and the dripping stuff.

Made a quick sketch out of your idea + a skull icon I was already messing around with. I think it looks pretty cool. Maybe I'll try to make a fork going into the skull.

How did you make the "spaghetti" part of this icon? I would like to recreate it but make them slighly rounder.

Update. Too edgy? I feel like the font doesn't really fit anymore either.

What do you guys think?

since youre putting graphic design on the resume, youve gotta show it. add a simple graphic of some sort even if you just add a typographical element to your name. plus it is a bit wordy and small - an employer wants a resume that they can scan over

fantastic plan, great use of type
actual execution poor. little attention to detail or to how a resume will be read. lots of I's at the start of your sentences. uninteresting with too much waffle

>>295301
Any other anons want to post some resumes? I need inspiration

>How did you start?
i wanted to design a logo for my myself
>Were you just naturally inclined to art?
yes, since i was 7 or so. i would read or watch anything art-related that i could find
>Did you train from a young age?
sort of when i was at hs i used to draw tons of logos from clothing brands and cd booklet illustrations like pic related
>Was GD your first choice?
not really but i wanted something creative even as a hobby
>Do you do it professionally?
kind of i'm making some money by freelancing but i'm also studying computer science so i'm still not sure which one to pick and even if i pick cs i'll probably still do some gd on the side

>>295103
I started designing and drawing and I just didn't stop, doesn't matter what age you are(assuming you're not like 40). The key to getting better at anything is just not stopping and not posting on shitty online boards.

Of course you can learn to be good at art and practice it! Anyone can. The more you consume it, the more you do it, the more attention you pay to it, the subtler and more refined you get at expressing yourself. I would be careful when comparing art and GD though. They have some crossover obviously but intentions are entirely different.

I am a late starter to /gd/ (24 years old), after falling far the rhetoric of my schoolteachers (go uni in something academic = be successful). Training now to hopefully be employed professionally by the year.
