Thanks!Nice work, as usual.
I wish I had an ounce of creative design talent. I wouldn't do web design again full-time but it sure was a nice side income. I just can't compete, though - back end coding isn't enough anymore. 10 years ago it was.
I think I came into the business at the right time when we were still cutting "ruby", shooting our own film on stat cameras, using non repo blue pens/pencils and waiting two weeks for color separations to be sent back.I'd like to get better at design stuff....putting text and images together more creatively.
It's like being a real painter, (which I'm not, but tried) I, instead love visual communication and get paid trying to make it better. I'll prolly die kerning a headline.I was pro for a few years, well freelance actually. Then decided that design bored me.
Show your work.I prefer illustration and painting. Only do the occasional design work now.
The old way of doing graphic design sounds like a huge pain in the ass, with the film, seperations, etc.I think I came into the business at the right time when we were still cutting "ruby", shooting our own film on stat cameras, using non repo blue pens/pencils and waiting two weeks for color separations to be sent back.
It made the transition into Photoshop layers and channels easy even though I was always just gonna be an airbrush illustrator... Maybe when I retire, I'll be on the beach somewhere airbrushing T-shirts...
I was also lucky to have worked with some OGs that were way into great typography, color theory and craftsmanship. Sadly, I work with only one guy these days that believes in taking pen to paper do develop an idea before even sitting in front of a Mac. I recommend that exercise to any serious designer. That and the study of Art Director Annuals from the 60s and 70s as great type and clear communication was never better IMO.
Rant over, but more to come.
Do you do freelance work for cheap by any chance?A selection of my work....
I think I drew that 15 years ago...That's hilarious! I own that phone... in white.
Awesome job on the illustration, but it's copied. Nice eye for detail, but make it your own.Battery that I have been working on for the opening flash page of my new website.
It should be pretty bad ass.
Inspiration from the iphone battery meter
Used the tutorial to gain more info. I am working on a new one now.Awesome job on the illustration, but it's copied. Nice eye for detail, but make it your own.
Like I said your technical skills are there, and you'll put me out of a job one day soon, but you can make it recognizable to Apple's look and keep it as your own.Used the tutorial to gain more info. I am working on a new one now.
Yes.Like I said your technical skills are there, and you'll put me out of a job one day soon, but you can make it recognizable to Apple's look and keep it as your own.
Keep up the nice work!
Is that all vector?
Slick design. I like it.Here's the initial creative I just did for a new campaign for a custom truck line. Poster, banner ads, brochure, etc.
