accidentally posted this in /ic/...
It's sinking in that I need to get my shit together asap so I'm going to start making work for fictional companies for my portfolio...
Could /ic/ help me out on what I should include/would be the most economical use of my time? I'm not really sure what I want to go into. Just NOT app design/coding
I'm thinking
> Coffee shop branding
> Website mockup for restaurant
> A poster series for something to demonstrate illustrative ability (but what?)
But... That's it? Do I just make a random concept up for a shop and go for it, or should I approach some local places and ask if I can parody them/design their stuff for free?

>Your (if yours) BTP in the circle is weighted to the left, you should center that a bit better
I would go with the coffee shop branding and restaurant mock-up (on inVison or something working that can be shared). While I love posters, they just aren't important to most people after college.

Idk mang these are pretty generic and easy. It's hard to screw these up.
Why not try a rebranding instead?
Pick an existing brand or app/website and build upon it. Impress employers by building upon brands they are already familiar with.

this will probably help u desu op
OP I can't decide on how to style the re-brand of my company. Would you be ok with doing a real company knowing that someone was benefiting (if what you made wasn't shit).

Nobody wants to do work for free.

Rebranding IS interesting, actually. I thought I would breach some sort of unspoken rule about having brands that aren't mine on my portfolio, but that's a good idea.

Thank you very much, both of you

Sorry dude. Not that I'm against working for free in the beginning, but go to someone local and support them in your city, or pay someone.

I was wondering why I had a less hostile reaction to this than I do to real facebook when if anything it "modernizes" the design [not a fan of most modern web-design trends]
Realized it's because it reminds me of Microsoft's design style and while I'm not a fan of Microsoft in the slightest, I prefer them to FaceBook.
