Design for a beekeeper.
It's somewhat boring so it's nowhere near final jet.
What do you guys think about Fineliner Script though?
>>300365
i don't think that's the right way to use type, the script should be on top and the sans serif should be used on the underline text.

Specifically where? The legs I've sort of forced to fit the shape and make it more circular, I know they look off. Do you mean the right arm and her boobs?
>>300665
This is actually more of an /ic/ topic, you might want to ask there but here's what comes to mind:
The shape of her head is a bit too pointy for someone who's this plump. It would be more fitting if it was round as well.
As you've stated, the legs are forced. It just looks wrong that her legs are pointing to the left whilst the rest of the body point towards the onlooker.
Also, yes, her right arm looks weird. I think the upper arm is just a bit too long.
But over all i actually like the style of your work.
It's clean and friendly looking.

the text is too small, the thing above seems like a glass of wine or something, maybe try emphasizing more the word mikser and pick a better font.
>>300676
Yeah, I mainly posted it for colour/detail advice, as I'm trying to get more 'graphic' with my illustrations, whatever that means.
Your points on the anatomy are fair enough and spot on though, I've changed it up a bit, made the head bigger, changed the perspective with the arm etc, but I'm going to just leave it now and move on, Thanks

IT looks like you have the same gradient applied to different layers instead of flattening it and applying the gradient overall. I lDK if you wanted it to look like that or both though because it looks kinda neat, just not practical for something like an icon

I'm the autist anon in his small europoor town making shit designs because everybody is a computer illiterate, my last post was a year ago.
I'm now working on a poster for my town hall, we'll be recieving EU funding to get some formation programs done. Waiter, forklift operator, and some basic computer shit are the main things we'll do.
Any tips on how to improve this shit? I did the desk and the forklift, but I couldn't draw a face even if my life depended on it, so I got the waitress from pinterest.
I'm using inkscape btw.

The effort I invest in this is proportional to the number of people attending, last year only 15 people attended to the event, so yeah, it's not worth investing lots of hours in something only a couple dozen people will care about.

Just getting into graphic design, is the top/bottom a different font, or did the guy before me literally just make slight alterations to each letter? Is that a normal thing that happens? it seems like a massive pain in the ass to make slight changes to the letters
Thanks for any help

Couldn't tell you one way or the other. I can say that both are shit, but the bottom set is marginally better.
>dat pussy "O"
lol wth
>>301690
Mainly focusing on the N and W, but I found a way to be lazy
The N and W have flat parts on the inside instead of the normal points
I just apply a stroke of the same color so that I can easily make the lower levels thicker to help it pop, it's not the same effect the previous guy had, but it should be fine I think, and seems like it would be way less time consuming, but the text can more easily be changed this way
Is there a way to change 4 layers of text at the same time?

You did like 4 versions, probably spent over 3 hours on it, and if you did those drawing then I'm sorry you spent so much time on it. It shouldnt've taken more than a couple hours most, with better results. I understand you have no clue about design, but I can't understand why you posted here, specially if your design skills are critiqued you are going to riposté with something like that.
>>301696
I was expecting some input, I was curious about what you guys might think.
They are the same version, only with slight changes, but yeah, I spent around over 3 hours.

just experimenting with an idea
Working on a poster for a concert/exhibition.
2 Dudes are coming that play guitar (One electric, and one acoustic), and I have to design the poster for it.
I thought it'd be cool to have both guitars planted in the ground, growing into a tree-portal type thing.
I have the information all laid out towards the bottom third, but I've omitted it from the post.
Right now I'm blocking in the illustration, I intend it to look something like the illustrations for Plini's album artworks (right side of pic related). Not exactly like it, but roughly the same feel, textured and wild skies (though I'm having trouble getting the skies looking right).
Any idea of what to put IN the portal? I've got no fucking clue. I want to keep some sort of surreal style going though.
>>302305
Oh hello 1950's. Too many colors going on desu, not liking the yellow.
>>302308
Feels kind of icky. Like those guitarists are going have sex with eachother or something. Too organic, you know.
>>302312
Their music is a blend between electric and acoustic, they use sounds and shit that you can only do on one guitar and pair it together.
Honestly it doesn't sound that different than what you'd expect, but it's not bad.
But yeah, the brief kept going on about how it's a blend, a union, duo, shit like that. Two styles coming together to create something unique.
I thought that this visual would kind of convey that, 2 guitar-tree things growing into each other and creating a gateway into something else.
I honestly never got any sexual implication from it.
So maybe there's something wrong with you :^) , or me for subconsciously making it haha.
>>302315
Was just thinking of Avatars pony tail sex methods. I play guitar myself, and when I play with others, it doesn't feel like there is a "connection", more like understanding between each other. If I were to make that poster, I'd connect them by its half's, rather than their both heads, into one. That tree thing doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Why trees? Why are the trees white? Lots of it just seems random choices with no pattern.
Also, I'd change the ground so it looks different from that fender. Weird that it blends in, while the classical one doesn't.
>>302328
I've already shown everyone and they told me to go forward with this. So that's what I'm doing.
I play guitar as well, and while there isn't a "connection" per se, there is something about music that seems natural and whole. Every part is integral to the final piece. It's not about a connection, more about the ability to create something new.
That's the decision for the archway/portal. The music is transporting the listener to a new place.
For the trees, I wanted some kind of organic visual, since the music they create doesn't rely on distortion or things like that, just clean tones, it's the natural sound of the guitar (more or less). Guitars are also made of wood (the necks at the very least).
The white didn't really have too much of a decision behind it. I just thought white looked ethereal in this case, and part of the inspiration for the shape came from those gates to Moria in LoTR (pic related).
But for the most part, I'm still blocking in the shapes and all that, I haven't really worked on colors so far. So all that can change easily.
But yeah, if you're not wild about the idea that's fine. I'm just providing an explanation for some of the decisions that went into it. I do see this coming out pretty well when I'm finished, and I (personally) thought it was an interesting visual to get people thinking about it.
Made a new startpage

is it meant to be related to ass?

>>302305
Keep running, mike
So here's where the poster is at now.
It's pretty much finished, save for some final polishing.
I'd like to keep working on it, but I have to send it in tomorrow at 3. I'll probably do some more up until then, but this is essentially what it will look like (minus text).
Overall though, I'm happy about how it turned out. I think it will look pretty cool printed up and in the wild.

>>302808
im really into this style of work. Yours looks good but straighten that edge up bottom left and post so we can see what it looks like. Its the only gripe I have with this, Just looks weird with a straight then angle when the rest of the angles correspond with each other.
>>302809
it might look better either with a "sun" rays sticking out in all direction or with letters dripping some liquid at the bottom instead of the sides, if i were you i would remove all colors and strokes until the shapes look right, a couple of suggestions; maybe simplify the eye leave the hypnotic rays but enlarge them so they get more attention and the pupils should cover all the top part of the eye and also the "THE" looks awkward the font and position doesn't combine that well with the rest maybe make it half as big and pick another font with even more contrast.
also there's some good 70s fonts out there maybe you could save some time and use one instead, for making it in a circle like yours just use the tool type on a patch and select a circle, assuming you are using illustrator.

Sort of /ic/ related but not, so posting here. Bored today and quickly block coloured this old sketch I had, Is the inclusion of the bar/Kanji unnecessary #aesthetic shit, should I keep it as a floating illustration?
I kind of like the extra detail the kanji adds personally but I've lost all objectivity with it, would appreciate any input, be as rude as you want ;^)
>>303100
i kinda like it but i think it looks incomplete, imho some things that could make it look better:
it might be more interesting if the two heads were mirrored or symmetrical (the goat's head in similar position as the horse)
maybe bump the colors those look boring and maybe increase the shadows/contrast if you can
make eyes of the goat black and tired same as the horse (exagerate the gestures)
remove the leaves below the goat's neck and perhaps add drool and tooth to the goat as well
make the goat horns bigger and the ears smaller or the ones of the mule bigger
the distorted kanji is not really working
and finally maybe complete the top part without background so it can be printed on tshirts or something.
It's actually already done but unsure if I should change anything. Thoughts?
>>303105
the position of the logo is unusual maybe place it on the side?

>> The T's stem is too far left, idk it just doesn't look good.
I would maybe try and extend the bottom of the s to the pink dot, the same distance as the upper border is at.
Maybe also pay more attention to your rounded corners, because I I think you could make them rounded. and just be aware of the space in between video and spot, and also the space in between the words and the border.
maybe try and add another pink element into your text.

Appreciate the advice, I agree with a lot of it. It's just a little thing I wanted to throw together in an evening, so I can't really make the perspective changes you suggested, without redrawing the whole thing in pencil.
I'm sort of surprised to hear that the colours were boring, as they were what I was most happy with. Will get rid of the kanji or maybe see what it looks like un-distorted.

I'm not gonna go easy on you because I remember seeing this about a month ago.
It's a devolution for sure, you minimalized it to death and you want to save as much character as you can with a quirky font.
• font has no visual relation to the logo
• logo is completely generic and devoid of any unique characteristics
• yellow will be unreadable on bright (but not white) background
To not seem like a asshole I will mention the pros as well but don't think they outweigh the cons in any way:
• the design works in a lot of sizes
• the name is kinda catchy

A bit of a throwaway, but wanted to give a bit of a general 80s/90s vibe a go. What am I doing wrong?

Lose the gradients on the first one. Go with flat, bold colors.
Instead of doing a spherical representation of the lat/long lines, do the lines as a flat projection. Sort of like this.

Or keep your globe 3D, but make fewer lines.

No. It looks like Africa with a barbershop quartet hat. The colors are washed out, the image is jaggy. The only good thing is that you spelled "snow miser" correctely.

>>303403
>You think the first globe is better than the second?
Possibly, once you do more edits... has more contrast. Try both though. On that first one, only use 1 color of orange (Looks like the axis line isn't the same as the countries. Could just be the shading.)

I'm interested to see how the first globe would look like if it had a more neon color palette and some bad shading to 'show off' that it is indeed in 3D (a thing very special in those times)

Jesus, if you're going to shit on something you might as well throw up on it. The "Africa with a barbershop quartet hat" is from the character Snow Miser that's his hat, I chose the colors to the corresponding colors of Snow Miser so some people can get the gist of who or what it is, the image is jaggy because there's no HD image of Snow Miser and I scaled the image down to size to fit on the background so he was in pixels when I was working on him.

>>303434
So how would you crit it, other than 'its fugly generic'?
>>303343
Could you recommend any particular books? Just had a quick browse on amazon and his books start at £30, to upwards of £300+ for certain out of print editions...
>>303198
I like. Contact info?
>>303440
I wpuld say go for any of the trademark collection books. Dont expect explinations or anything, they are purley the designs. Ine cool thing though is the design agency is very clear for each peice so you could see what else they have made.
>>303397

Added some text to give it some basis, would appreciate any opinions on the colours and type, they're my two weakest suits.

Gonna try it flat either way but I need to go back into AI to do that, on a PS only PC atm.

thanks, are you interested in my design work?
How's this looking, friends?

reminds me of the stuff i used to do

Trace instead of scale, problem solved
>>302213
Fuck me that's a clever poster
>>303498
Too cluttered for a logo in my opinion.
The slogan could be removed entirely and nothing of value would be lost. "Science in the right measure" already says enough on its own, but the logo on the left already conveys the "your daily dose of science" message, since you see some liquid in a beaker being heated up and poured into a coffee cup, an object people will associate with something you do at least once a day
You could cut down on the amount of curves on the pipe connecting the cup and the beaker, then make everything bigger so it's easier to see when it's downscaled.
Something like this, threw it together in 10 minutes.
>>302308 It's time to stop. Why do people give designing jobs for you man. Practice it's not that hard. Do all the old Phlearn photoshop tutorials.
>>300354
making a mock poster for video i did with friends, what font do you guys think works the best here?
>>303733
1 but the kerning between the l and the k needs to be fixed.
>>303504
>>303448
if you're still interested, you can reach me on this temporary mail for the next days:
[email protected]
>>303734
thanks ;-)
>>303733
I'd argue that 3 works the best. The rest of the poster gives me vibes of a milk carton you'd find in grade school, so slightly rounder letters fit better without being as curvy as the second image.
But like the other anon said, fix the kerning.
>>301251
goodness please no
>>303733
the last one works best with the imagery imo. just work on the kerning
>>303733
3 without a doubt. First is too aggressive, second is too weak
>>303713
looks like shit desu
You actually made it worse.
>>303114
good shit man , I like that
>>303713
You do realize that was just the initial stage of the poster right?
That was only a work in progress shot and no where near final. Hence the
>Working on a poster
and not
>Just finished this poster
Pic related is what it ended up looking like.
I had done a version with a bunch of noise and stuff like the Plini artworks, but they ended up liking the clean version better.
>>303846
Is right, that actually doesn't look too good.
It's messy and just gross to look at (though I realize you probably did it in like 10 minutes, using just the preview I posted).
Not trying to be mean or anything. Although you are.
made this today as an album cover for my recent project, but it feels like somethings missing. Would appreciate some crit.
>>303899
I think it looks good, but i'm a less is more type of guy.
You could throw in some clouds?
Maybe offset the balloons a bit?
>>303283
>>303338
Started over and went for something I thought about earlier. Concept works I think but execution is pretty bad. What about font and logo relation with a font like this, still too quirky?

yeah dude I don't believe you. Send me a link from the event.
Logo I'm designing for client...opinions?
They said they are thinking of making their slogan something along the lines of, "your missing piece"
Thanks
>>303930
Looks like you're trying to incorporate two styles of fifties fonts which don't really flow well together. Shading on the logo is kinda ugly and the value differeinces are too little to make out the edges of the puzzle pieces.
>>303936
Thanks for the tips! I was trying to reduce the amount of colors in the pieces so that it wouldn't be too much going on.
You think it would help to increase the color spectrum of the pieces?
>>303899
decide if you're going for a flat & graphic or textured look and stick to it.
the black lines on the figure do not work
First thing I did in Illustrator. I know the font is kind of shitty but it looked empty without it and I wanted to get it finished today. If you have any advice/critique it would be much apreciated!

Nice clit.
Basically I'm creating OC for an internal joke in a browser game. Basically what if the USA was taken over by Jeffersonian National-Syndicalists aka Natjef? The 2 main symbols of Natjef are the fasces and the Phrygian cap. Here's what I have so far. Please feel free to shit on it, I haven't really put a lot of work into it.

Sick. These optical illusions are hard to plan out. I would up the white stroke for greater visibility at small sizes.
Logo for a fictional esports team. Suggestions?

yeah its pretty shit

Looks Good.

that isn't what he was referring to...
The line work is shit.

Thank you for taking the time to critique. This was helpful. I'll adjust these things.

Oh look who's a fascist.

Mothafucka these are just your stupid preferences.
>>304277
you ever heard, "you can't polish a turd?"
>>304289
What's the context?
>>304291
Been working on this logo for the past 2 hours, lost all sense of what's what. Would appreciate feedback on what works and what doesn't with type/style/colour.
>>304294
The first and second logos on the right column look like "CHLS"
I like the one on the bottom left the most, but you should experiment with changing the colors of the HLS and the "hydrogen light speed" part because small yellow text can be a huge pain in the ass to read.
>>304277
>Mothafucka these are just your stupid preferences.
You're right, they are just my preferences.
And I've made a lot of fucking money professionally designing things based on my preferences.
What's your artistic specialty? I mean besides sounding like some Detroit wigger who jerks off thinking about Chris Brown's neck tattoos.
>>304294
The slanted text really doesn't work. I also don't care for the gradients at all.
#6 has too many colors.
I think 1st column, 2nd logo, is the one to start doing variations on for color. Also consider doing a reversal (staying with flat colors) the way you did on 1st col, 3rd logo.
The "hydrogen light speed" text - spacing is really bad. Work on that too.
>>304277
They're more like suggestions.
Good ones in fact.
Any ideas for my logo/watermark?
>>303909
It reads a bit like a person in the middle, not a raindrop. What if exaggerate the droplet in some way? Non-perfect example shows what I mean.
>>304350
Followup to my example: Yes, I realize it looks a bit like a chess pawn or clown hat. You also don't want it to look like a Poop Emoji. So just take example as it being easier for me to draw my vague thought, instead of typing it.
>>304351
Thanks, yeah the actual representation would be too little of a symbol to use in a logo, good observation though.
I think I well step away from the drop/halo idea.
Anything I can come up with has been done to death, no reason to beat a dead horse.
>>304330
For starters, I don't even know what it says.
Secondly, that first thing I thought when I saw it was "why does that sort of look like an icon for anal sex?"
>>304578
Looks a bit over complicated imo
>>302595
This looks like shit, i can't believe you are getting paid to do this atrocious shit
>>304583
Believe what you want, it doesn't really change anything.
You're still just a random anon on an image board. World keeps spinning.

I can see the inspiration from New Wave, is this for a poster or album cover?
I have to make this news/magazine/gossip website. I'll just use a wordpress but I can't seem to find any good free themes, any tips? (this is my first time doing WP desu)
A while ago I designed an album cover for a band. And I hated doing it. It was shit and I'm not good at designing yet. Now, they've posted the album cover to their instagram and it's completely different. The font has changed and is longer aligned to the image that's on the cover (which they wanted) and a lot of the colour scheme has changed. They apparently wanted it this way.
Should you always supply your client with the xml or psd files?
>>304669
i'm not sure i would go out of my way to hand them over if they weren't requested, but as a work for hire you don't really have any justification not to unless signatures are a thing in your medium (at which point i'd provide signed flat and unsigned editable)
keep your version for your portfolio and move on
>>304669
>Should you always supply your client with the xml or psd files?
I never supply clients with PSD files, unless they pay for them, or it was agreed to in the original contract. My charge for source files starts at twice the original quote.
>>303093
>The G is lost because of the unnatural join
>It looks more like a paper-clip
You've probably broken some rule of design which advises not to join letters arbitrarily. Find a more explicit cue that suggests the letters are combined, while leaving them separate.
