A Creepypasta site. I'm having a really hard time getting the design right. Some extremely kind anon from a previous thread helped me out greatly, but now I find it hard to stick with one style. Also, a lot of things look cluttered since I added a lot of new features since then.

I was planning to finish the entire site before Halloween, but I don't think that's going to happen at this rate...

Any help or feedback is greatly appreciated!

>>286260
First off find a way to darken the advertisements somehow, maybe stick them behind some opaque grey rectangle or something.

It looks really nice right now, I would say that maybe a darker red would suit the aesthetic more. Just because everything else has that washed out look. Change the stars to either a light grey or a red color in stead of that yellow. Change the upload button to a red instead of green. Make the text input boxes uniform, I like the black background (in the add narration overly). I lf you can I'd theme the social media buttons to match you overall color scheme as well. overall it looks really good, well done anon

>>286264
Thanks for the feedback!

Covering advertisements is against the AdSense policy, unfortunately.

Honestly, I don't agree with a lot of your points, but they do provide a lot of insight in the effectiveness of my design. For example, what you thought was an update button, is actually an upvote button .Also, the input forms on my site are all white. The "black" input boxes you liked, are actually there so people can easily copy their contents, but not enter anything.

It's little things like this that actually help a lot! I think I'll have to replace the upvote button's icon with a "thumbs up" or something.

Anyway, thanks again for the honest feedback :) It's very useful to me!

>>286390
some students of my old school are selling stuff to earn money for their school trip, they asked me to do a logo
idk where it's gonna be used or who's the audience, i don't even know why they need a logo, back when I was selling stuff for the same purpose I didn't need a logo
I choose an airplane cause I didn't know where they were going so I needed something generic and I choose a leaf cause it's the emblem of this school.

>>286392
>tell me why it's shit

I couldn't tell it was a leaf and an airplane until you mentioned it. So there's that.

>>286402
seriously? I tought it was pretty obvious... I already sold it so it doesn't really matter anymore but I really tought you could see it

>>286403
Maybe I'm just retarded, but I think >>286389 couldn't see it either.

>>286404
yeah probably. I will not try to fix this one, but what are some good tips to make sure your logo is readable by other people?

>>286406
Have outsiders look at it and tell you what they think. Don't tell them what the logo is for, or anything else that might give them a hint on what it's supposed to be.

A fresh eye does wonders.

>>286407
yeah but the other students at my new school are a bunch of kissasses who will praise everything I do no matter what and I don't want to ask here everytime I do something... Where do I find good critics?

>>286408

Or just find some kids from a local highschool to critique your work.

This board is incredibly slow as it is. Doesn't hurt to have people posting here more often, at all

>>286460
I second this:. >>286463

>>286385

I didn't recognize right away that the icon was supposed to be an f. I don't know what its supposed to represent but if possible without going against the intent of the icon I'd suggest extending the bottom of the F a bit more so its more clear to notice. I also feel like you should stick to a more square type face since your icon has no curves.

I think the icon itself is a good starting point because its simple enough to remember but without context I don't know what its supposed to be so that could be bad.

Love the lyric, don't have much context though.
The font doesn't match the picture, the two full cream soda's (:^) are too similar, make them different some how, maybe different froth etc. Also the shading on all the glasses are the same, doesn't feel right. Try differing them based off their position in the frame a bit. Overall nice flat (ish) design, looks very clear. Contrast between the topic and the image is kind of striking. I would say, find a way to darken the mood a bit.

Made my own font, it's absolutely shit.
It's supposed to be one of those angry fonts that are used in situations like a horror movie title sequence or something. Made it with Gimp,Inkscape, and Font Forge. I realise the "A" is pretty shit, working on a new glyph. So far it covers every character on my keyboard (eng_US)

some background - school project for visualizing data.

I made a program in java where every vowel keypress would result in a randomly located red circle, consonents blue, space grey and punctuation green.

uploaded to photoshop to make it seem a little more interesting, took out white background, duplicated layer(gaussian blur), duplicated layer(polar coordinates + opacity 30%), duplicated layer (wave distortion), orig layer hard light filter.

recorded me saying the sentence, screen shot of wave form, add it into piece.

found random keyboard png on google (fucking polish keyboard or something) added it in


my question is this too busy? is it any good to look at or did i just make a mess? did the context help you understand it? what were your initial thoughts before reading? what elements of GD did i forget to use in this (i can think of one)

P.S. this is a WIP

Found a logo brief online and made something for it for practice.

It's for an energy management systems engineering startup, needs to be printed on letterheads, stationery, vans, PPE equipment, and engraved on clothes, "simple font and logo" requested (to avoid issues with clothing), and abstract letter symbol logos included as competitor logos that should be emulated.

I have a rationale but I'll let it stand on its own.

I really don't like the font you used. I think it could work for the name, but I don't see why it should be slanted. Use a different type of font for the text box below the picture, and add more whitespace around the text inside that box (align it with the width of the picture above that)

That background photo doesn't should anything. It seems like the person's head is behind the picture, why not flip the picture so that something can be seen?

I really like that japanese text + drop shadow though.

I'm not sure if I posted this here on /gd/ yet but here goes.

I've just finished off this skateboard for my gd class. The details of the project was that we had to find a graphic designer, living dead or otherwise(undead), and create a board inspired by their work and style. It doesn't have to be a complete reproduction of their style, just a jumping off point and something that hearkens back to the designer.

A lot of the other students picked designers they found on instagram or otherwise, I chose Erik Nitsche. I was really intrigued by his use of color and his subject matter, especially for his work with General Dynamics. His whole vibe is of that space race 60's/70's design, which I identify really well with (honestly I think GD peaked during that time, seriously a golden age). I wanted to capture that feeling in my design, so I chose a space shuttle (there's other reasons besides that but yeah).

I really wanted to go all out with this one, I don't mean to sound pretentious or anything, but I knew I would get a good grade on it. So my intention was instead to create something for myself to hang on my wall, while still keeping to the criteria of the project.

Anyway, I'm sorry for the blog post, I just wanted to give a good background on the project and my reasoning behind it.
Feel free to let me know what you think. As far as changes go, I'd like to hear them, but it's a bit too late for me to really change them as I've already turned it in and I've got the board in the mail.

>>286743

Are you just doing some pixel sorting?
>>286785
I like this one the most, it's simple and does look glitched. Personally I would do a little less of the pixel sorting and more glitching. I'd say look up compression errors and try and add something like that in there. I do like the flat color pallet, and appreciate the fact that if you go too far with the glitching, it becomes almost vapoware.
>>286786
I don't really like this one, from afar ita hard to tell it been glitched at all. K do really like the sorting on the base of the lap, looks really cool. I just think this one looks boring.

Well there's my two cents, take em or leave em.

>>286791
I'd like to add that you're glitch art might yield itself well to an animated gif, I think that'd look pretty cool.

>>286774
I chose purple/teal because I was partial to those colors, and they matched the scene the best after playing around with different color schemes. Thanks for your input anon.

>>286774
I can see why some people don't like the lines. From the outset though, I really wanted to abstract the movement of the Shuttle as it goes through the board. A lot of the elements in the board go back to some of the elements I found interesting in Erik Nitsche designs. I wanted to nod back at them while still keeping to my own. Notably, the lines are inspired by the Corvair poster on the top left (pic related), the stars inspired by the lines in the top right, background by bottom left, and the theme/look loosely from bottom right. I can understand that some people won't like it though, and that's alright. I just wanted to provide some background as to why I made the choices I did.

>Also what's with the weird canvas shape?
I think I mentioned in the first sentence or so that it was to be a skateboard design. I just masked the image to the shape for better context.

Thanks for letting me know what you think!

I think this is a solid start.
What I would do is try to go smaller with the texturing/dots and really get it in there. I think if you pushed it a bit further detailing with the texture it will come out really well.
I'd do something about the color though. The green doesn't really work too well. I don't know if it's on purpose or not, but it really tints the rest of the head to a green that doesn't really look too great.

Don't give up anon, keep going. You can do it!

I think you have a decent layout, but so much waisted space. Vast areas with nothing. It just doesn't seem like it would feel right when you visit the page.

>>287040
Same here there seems to be much too much page for the content you have.

Color pallet it pretty nice, all seems to have a good tone and works well. As far as text layout and all, since you hid any Branding so well, I can't tell where logos and stuff would be. But as I see it now, you have a lot of wasted space and it feels desolate.

Universal principles of Design is a good book, but can be quite pricey

Not really sure where to post this, as the other logo design thread is more or less dead.

I'm *still* trying to make a logo for myself.
I think I might be onto something good with this latest iteration, and would like your input.
I like what I have so far, but something feels off about it. The overall weight/balance feels weird.


Just a little background info about why it is the way it is.
I go by Axiom in various online circles when I post my artwork, and design work. For those that don't know, an axiom is used in math as a mathematical truth (personally I just thought it sounded cool a good chunk of years ago and ran with it). A symbol that I tried to work in was ∀ this is the symbol used to denote a Universal quantifier. I honestly don't know much about it, but a friend of mine who's an astrophysics major suggested I use it because it's used in conjunction with axioms.
If any of you were in the previous thread, you might still know what I previously had. And the information about the iconography and motive are pretty much the same.

Anyway, whatever help you can give would be great.

>>287462

You wrote too much I stopped reading after the first paragraph.

Your logo is bad because it looks like an upside down A in a triangle - I know that's what it's supposed to be, but I literally looks undesigned and simply manipulated. You need aesthetics - not just abstract concept

>>287462
I like it but I can't help but think about the triforce when I look at it

>>287046
I like it. Type-wise, don't stretch out the time and try to align the date around it.

>>287462
The A looks too small and stretched out. Don't stretch out the text. I agree with >>287494 it does look like a triforce.

>>287463
I guess if I have to explain it, then it fails as a logo.
I really don't know where to go with for aesthetics.
I don't really have much to work with.

My style of work is 80s based, but I'm starting to work away from that and more towards Illustration. I just wanted to make a logo that doesn't rely on 80s tropes and instead is more generic as to not limit myself to one thing.

>>287494
desu I always see the AOL logo when I'm not looking directly at it.

>>287769
The "A" on the triangle actually isn't text at all.
I didn't overlay a letter and use the pathfinder.
The structure of it is just the shapes. Like, I just made the triangles and diamond and positioned them to make the negative space.

I had written this earlier but tab got closed.

Just to clarify, the logo you made looks like it belongs to some powerful, dark, soulless cooperation. It might as well say "Bad Guy Inc." the large blocky letters make it seem like some unstoppable force, the dark gray color just adds to that aesthetic. It looks like it belongs to a company that tears up the environment and ruins whole ecosystems for profit. So you've managed to make a logo that would be suited to the idea of a coal mining company.

But the issue is that although you've embodied that, a coal mining company will want to stay as far away from that perception as possible. They want a logo that screams "give me the land and the subsidies, we help you, we help your county" they'll want an easily approachable looking logo that people will associate with good feelings.

Pic related is another real coal mining companys logo, but it's a pretty shit one.

TL;DR try again anon. But it's pretty cool looking.

Yes I agree with >>286532 given a bit more context (some gloomy character) and >ima b successfully b8d -_-'< just 2 mins sorting lighting would help calm ocd triggered in my pip all of a sudden.

With the sobering feeling delivered by the songs potrayal of being in a not at all good head space it would more easily touch nerves and have more impact if you exploit the sad emotional connotations of the song already planted previously and now firmly rooted. Misery enjoys company and is self multiplying so easy kick at the nets to score "this pic has strong feels" points.

Haven't sold any of the first one yet, only did it last night. I sold 3 of the T-Reps in the last few days, and about five Harambe shirts. Not really spending anything on ads so my audience is pretty limited.

I'm usually a software developer and have no real "artistic" provenance aside from the guitar, so I'm not very skilled yet at actualizing ideas. I have a long list of pretty original design concepts though, so as long as I can break even I'll keep it going and see what happens.

So are you barely breaking even? What are the margins like, no matter how little. Is this a nice earner for pocket money on the side or are you just making use of the free month while it lasts?

>>288811
Right now it's just barely breaking even. The margins vary with different products, but I usually aim for a 35-40% markup for the t-shirts. I suppose I could go lower, but the volume isn't there yet to justify it. I also choose the made in America products whenever possible, so that drives the initial price a little bit higher and cuts into the margins some, but it's worth it to me.

I'll probably stick with it for a little while after the free month is up, provided I have a few more sales before then. It's it's even minorly profitable it'll be worth it to me.

Could really use some ideas on how to improve this, namely text wise but any comments are welcome.

It's a sticker for a college satire publication and the apple is their logo.

I don't really like upside-down font used in this manner but I'm not sure how I would coherently separate "trusted" from "second."

The border is an aesthetic choice, not to represent a white border, but I wouldn't mind if it had to go.

>>288846
That's a book cover alright, I would use a thinner font for the subtitles though.

>>288772
My opinion: Doesn't capture the atmosphere that the song conveys in the slightest. The colors are far too utilitarian and the items themselves have little relation to the topic at hand. There is much too much empty space. It looks like something done in MS paint. Overall it lacks flow, and that's the main issue.

I like the typography.

I think the logo looks good aesthetically. Colors are nice and vibrant, plus anything that's not flat design is always a nice change. I agree with the other anons that the logo seems a bit too generic. When I look at it my first thought is that it's for a credit card company or something similar, perhaps find a way to tie it to graphic design. Over all I like it, I might play with the typesetting and spacing a little bit.

>>288846
Looks cool, I like the art, I would add a border to the image and perspective experiment with a thin serif font.

>>288853
Looks like the logo for some lager. Sincerely Rita a satire news publication, perhaps go for a more corporate design? Emulate your local news agency. You're right, the upside down text is very distracting.

If you want to stick to your current look and shape, I don't think you have much of an option when it comes to the Text being upside down. Also get rid of the establishment date, it's not old enough for any credit. And it just serves to crowd an already crowded piece.

>>288853
>Could really use some ideas on how to improve this

Kill your self.

Start over.

Kill yourself again.

Then google "distressed" "rustic" or "vintage" decal/button design.

Then download illustrator and start messing around with making your liquid fart garbage conform to the rules of design.
Then kill yourself again.

Then download Illustrator.

Thanks for the "concept alley-oop"

>>288861
I think I'll start over entirely, I'm not happy with it at all. Only reason I'm asking for improvements is because the guy who wanted me to make it said it was great even though this is technically revision 1.
You make a good point with the establishment date, it does only crowd things up, I'll see what I can do.

>>288786
>>288861
Firstly, I wish more people gave feedback like you do - very insightful. Not too sure what to do about it being generic. I don't want to go back to flat design, because I tend to use it too often because its safe, not to mention it being saturated. This being my second attempt at going for a logo that ties in with graphic design I obviously don't have a clue on how to do it, so any tips are welcome there. Cheers man.

>>288723
Thanks man. Yes I think you're right could definitely be focusing my energies more productively . Haven't put pen to paper for about 4 years till then. Got fully carried away with the pleasure of making visual your thought and ended up analyzing and assessing as if it were a work related task. I definitely need to bging drawing more often.

>>288918

Yeah you should! I find it so therapeutic, and I swear it makes me smarter, at least when it comes to spacial thinking.

Sorry dude, but they are all bleh. There's not much in the way of design elements being shown off in any interesting ways. And sadly, beyond that - there isn't much professional attention shown to the generic copy formats you have layed out. You have sloppy use of vertical text spacing, balance of positive/negative space, and you have weak color palettes.

The two fonts above & below the line could better contrast each other & the line itself is a little too modern to fit in with the rest of the design imo.
>>288964
The text could look a bit more faded or noisy to better blend in with the background

>>289156

I've been doing this kind of stuff professionally for over a third of my life, if my boss and I don't vibe it's not going to work out anyway. Cover letter need personality, it's a filtering mechanism, you yes man stooge.

*I'm assuming it's a video format* logo is really plain and boring. The red/white/blue colors work well if your a US based show that covers stuff related to the USA. I like the contrasting typefaces. They add a feeling of action(mostly due to italics). For a video format the logo is very lacking. You can't do any 3d transfusions or intros with it. The logo is very uninspired and easy to forget. The logo is passable but obvious that it took you 5minutes to put together once you found the fonts. Stop being lazy m8.

>>289265
Would love to give you feedback, but im ignorant when it comes to modern art. this feels more like to belongs in an art thread, not gd.

>>289269
Your logo is pretty shite. Not sure what the logo is for, but for starters it looks NOTHING like a B a Y. I would say start from scratch and find a way to tie your logo into whatever you do. The colors aren't that good, they'll come off weird looking if you print anything on a non professional printer, the palate looks drab, and it's much to blocky. I would day you should check out some of the logos in the logo thread for a starting point, then re do the whole thing.

Have a good day gents!

the school colors are white/blue/red. we already have an intro, though its not 3d or anything.

Entirely incoherent. Like you merged a bunch of random ideas you had laying about. What is the film about?
