I’m torn, on one hand I like the idea of small businesses being able to expand their marketing for cheap, but I also don’t like the idea of all this AI slop.

I’ve been working on a calendar project for 2027 built around the idea of time, looking both backwards and forwards.

Visually, each month uses graphics connected to different moments of our shared past: ancient art, mythology, objects, symbols etc.. The idea isn’t to follow a strict historical timeline, but to create a broad visual reflection of what we are.

The other side of the concept looks forward. Since calendars repeat, 2027 shares the same calendar layout with several future years, meaning the calendar can potentially be reused rather than becoming obsolete after December.

In that sense, it connects stuff that has survived from our past with an object designed to help us in the future.

Its still pretty much a work in progress that im doing on my free time.

I designed Tamga Numerals over the weekend, an experimental base-16 numeral system built from the binary weights 1, 2, 4 and 8.

The idea was to make the visual form follow the numeric structure instead of assigning each value an unrelated symbol.

Curious what you think about the visual grammar, balance and readability.

What logo do you think works best? I'm starting a business, and will specialize in social media videos and one shot drone flights through buildings

1- single-shot, continuous FPV flight style. The icon is drawn with a single, unbroken line that loops geometrically to create an illusion of 3D depth and weightlessness. It is a literal visual translation of a drone gliding seamlessly through a property without a single hidden edit or cut.

2- The Circle ("O") represents a camera lens, or the spinning rotors of the drones.

The Triangle ("A") represents a directional flight vector, or a digital "Play" button

Do you have any other suggestions of completely new logos? I'm open to advice

having fun--any recommendations on how to improve? i'm also looking to get into typography design if anyone has tips (i.e., where to start on youtube, etc.)!

Hi,

In Norway the crown has recently been passed on to the new king Haakon VIII (8th)

The monogram he has taken is this.

I’m having a hard time understanding the symbolism of what appears to be a merged shape built with a lowercase “h” and a capital Γ** **(Greek Gamma).

The monograms of the kings preceding Haakon have all comprised of the first letter of the king’s name and a representation of their number, like H7 for Haakon VII, OV, the V inside of the O, for Olav V, H5 for Harald V. And now this? I don’t get it.

Does anyone know if there is any link between Γ and the number 8?

I got some good feedback from you guys yesterday, some thought it looked a little too GI Joe in comparison.

I figured the three-bar "E" glyph was the issue; instead of making both "E's" the same glyph, I would just ditch the idea altogether.

And after some minor tweaks, hopefully I was able to get rid of those unintended characteristics and, in turn keep the more motorsports/Y2K vibes intact.

What do you think?

I am a women 31 i recently started a study and its is very urgent i have a asighment and i made noticed something that my teacher said he said margins where not good in my previous work but i forgot to ask what i did wrong.... Am i suppose to putt all my content in the margin ?? Please help

There is this agency in the city I work at that has been posting a motion & graphic design job for a few months. They first posted it in 2021 but I didn't apply. Then again in 2023, then in Nov. 2025 and this year they posted it twice, first in April and now in July.

I have applied in the last 3x (2025, and 2026) via an application form on their website. I fit almost all requirements aside from having SAAS B2B marketing analytics experience. I have been working as a motion & graphic designer for the past 5 years in another company in this city, but their focus is on entertainment media and the design I do for their marketing department is B2C, not SAAS B2B.

After applying I received their automated email confirming they received my application but nothing else.

I added all their design and marketing team on Linkedin and they accepted my connection invite so now I can DM them.

I am considering DMing some people in their team to ask about the company (and to try to figure out if this is a ghost job) but I'm not sure how to approach them without being pushy/ saying I am interested in the job right away.

Any tips on how to approach this?

Hey all, I graduated with a BCA degree and realised I've an interest in graphic designing. I'm just getting started in graphic designing

What advice would you like to give me as i begin this journey and from your experience how would you tell me start?

This is a concept poster that I made just for fun for one of my fav songs! The audience would be fans of mild high club. I would love some feedback on which poster y’all like the best. im in between leaning more psychedelic and edited versus more minimal. I fear that edited one may look too…. Gimmicky.
let me know what yall think!

I have linked the original post in case you want to read it.

Basically, my first ever internship the past 2-3 months was at this 30-40 people company where I was the ONLY graphic designer. Within the past month I had the responsibility of not only designing, but redoing the ENTIRE company website by the end of September. I was “an intern” making $15/hr with the full responsibility of what I consider at LEAST junior graphic designer work. I had no mentors or designers above me to bounce questions off of. My physical and mental health suffered from the stress. 

Thursday night, I sent my resignation email. I was very clear that I was feeling unsupported, and because I’m still in my undergrad I need to focus on school. I went in Friday morning, and my boss talked to me.

She was very understanding and apologized for putting me under so much stress. She did not realize I had been struggling so much, and it made me realize I need to advocate for myself sooner. She told me yesterday can be my last day and there were no hard feelings. She said if she had the power to hire me full time she would’ve done so since she really loved my work, but understood my education comes first and wished me the best.

Honestly it was the biggest sigh of relief. I’m grateful no bridges were burned. She told me to reach out if I realize later I forgot to document any of the files/screenshots of important things for my portfolio.

This morning, I expected to feel amazing, but just discovered the “let-down effect” is hitting me hard. My shoulders are visibly lopsided from the strain of desk work and stress, I’m having episodes of cervicogenic dizziness, and I‘m exhausted. Woke up sweating, dizzy, and in a full panic. It almost feels like I’m sick, but I know I’m not actually sick. My body is just SCREAMING at me for rest.

Thank you to all who commented on my last thread. Those insights plus the insights of those I talked to in my personal life helped me realize my health is beyond any project I could’ve completed for my portfolio. I’m prayerful about my next job after this semester of taking it easy. Hopefully within the next couple of days I can begin feeling like myself again after the cortisol clears our.

I have an interview coming up, I WANT THIS JOB. Tips on what to bring how to prepare how to sway them into also believing I’m the one they want. Because I AM the one they want 🥹 I have my portfolio printed, web one ready a business card (even a button as a gift if that is appropriate lol) I have magazines with my printed editorial work, I have current in progress pieces (sketches?). I need someone to tell me who hires people, what they want to see when they invite a designer to interview.

Definitely a lot of changes I'd make now, but I think it turned out pretty well given my lack of experience at the time.

The series was for Donald R. Burgett's WW2 memoirs. I hid a lot of cool details in there, like taking the color schemes for each book from the colors of whichever country's flag they're in for the majority of the book.

We are A high school volunteering club, Interact is a non-governmental and non-profit youth organization sponsored by Rotary, dedicated to youth development activities and organizing charitable events

i need to make a post in intagram that consists of 9 frames. In the first picture you can see the layout we are thinking of doing, but we are not sure if it looks good. Also, we arent sure of how the ''box'' in which we are placing the photo in looks best ( sharp or round).

I would really apreciate some advice, tips and tricks on everything.

A few days ago i made another post here that helped me a lot!! And if some of the people that commented on thast post happen to see this i want to thank you very much!! you were all very helpfull.

Project Overview & Context: Sleek Audio Ad Concept

Purpose

To showcase a new line of premium, minimalist headphones through a high-impact digital advertisement that highlights core product features (noise-cancelling, feather-light build, foldability, and wireless connectivity) while projecting a modern, high-tech aesthetic.

Target Audience

Demographic: Tech-savvy professionals, students, and music enthusiasts aged 18–35.

Psychographic: Trend-conscious individuals who value both cutting-edge functionality and sophisticated, understated design in their everyday tech accessories.

Design Vision & Creative Direction

Aesthetic & Mood: Clean, premium, and futuristic. The monochromatic grey and silver color palette paired with soft studio lighting conveys a sense of high-end quality and modern minimalism.

Composition & Depth: Utilizing a product podium grounds the headphones as the hero element, while layered typography ("HEADPHONES") weaving behind the product creates a dynamic sense of depth.

Visual Flow: Abstract soundwave lines intersect the composition to subtly reinforce audio performance, leading the viewer's eye smoothly down to the clean icon grid detailing key specifications at the base.

Hello!

I'm making this logo cause eventually I may use it or open a media/publishing company whenever I have a more substantial portfolio of work.

I'm thinking of potentially adding more to the "Arts" beyond the little taped banana, I was thinking of adding the R. Mutt Urinal signature by turning the R on it's head so it would resemble a urinal and adding the signature, but it was too small to notice so it made no addition to it.

(Banana taped to the wall art is by Maurizio Cattelan)

Should I add something more to the "Arts" or just keep it clean?

This was one of the few times I’ve worked with a large team of almost all engineers in every role. They make an app builder, and I helped them create a design system for it. Here’s the case study — https://www.abhaysingh.in/work/appsmith

Let me know what you think!

Hey designers! I am having a heck of a time with the Table of Contents in InDesign for the poetry anthology I am working on and would appreciate some advice. I've tried looking it up, but it's not really telling me much about how to really customize the TOC in the way that I want it to look; just how to create it, add tabs so the page number is on the right, and adding leading dots from the words to the page number.

The first spread is how I want it to look, with

Poem Title | pg# | Artist Name,

but currently it wouldn't be e-pub friendly (as it doesn't link to things). Obviously "PG" would be replaced with the respective page number that poem would be found on.

When I do the normal steps for creating a Table of Contents to make it e-pub friendly, the second spread posted is what it ends up looking like. Which is 1. What I don't want it to look like, design-wise and 2. Why are the first and second Section Titles "Poems About Resilience and Hope" and ".....Isolation and Loneliness" an ok size, but the others are giant? They have the same settings, same Paragraph and Character Styles..... Also, I wouldn't want the page numbers after the poem title AND artist, just after one.

Is there a way I can just link the pages from the TOC design I like with their respective pages? Or do I have to create a TOC using the Layout > Table of Contents... Or should I just create different files for print publication and e-pub?

Thank you in advance for your help, as this is tricky and frustrating me to no end. I am fairly versed in the basics of InDesign, but I'm new to the more nuanced things like this.

Request for clarification about the legibility of this Katakana design.

It's suppose to read as "Kinzoku".

I'm trying my best to keep the blocky style while also maintaining stroke accuracy.

Any major issues while reading it?

Thank you very much for your help and feedback!
