this was mostly just a quick warmup i wanted to share! funny story this was originally gonna be an eyeshadow palette brand but i couldnt find any good mockups that suited my vision and didnt cost money LOL so i went with nail polish but i think it still worked out! i wanted to aim for something witchy and cute and of course slightly inspired by sailor moon. i had a lot of fun with it!

FEEDBACK please :)

Hi everyone,

I’m working on a brand identity for one of my best friends, who’s starting his own construction and carpentry business in the Netherlands. I’d love some feedback before I finalize it.

About the name

The logo reads “Van de Bovenkamp – Bouw & Timmerwerken”.

• Van de Bovenkamp is his surname (a typical Dutch family name).
• Bouw & Timmerwerken means “Construction & Woodwork / Carpentry”.

He specifically wanted his surname in the logo, since as a one-man business his name is the brand.

The monogram

The “B” monogram comes from two things: the B of Bovenkamp and the B of Bouw (construction). The box has one slanted side and one straight side. That contrast is deliberate, so it can be used as a recurring graphic element across the rest of the identity.

The identity

Besides the logo, I’ve developed the full visual identity. I’ll be handling everything for him: website design and launch, print materials, social media, and so on. That’s why the mockups show those applications, since that’s where the identity really comes to life.

Hope to see some feedback! Thanks.

I walked by this display in Macy's today, and I honestly thought it was boxes of macaroni and spaghetti. While the boxes are smaller than pasta packages, nothing about this design says "men's skin care" to me. Just me? Maybe I was just hungry?

I can’t tell if it’s just me but it looks literally 3D on my screen. Anyone know how they did this? I don’t think I’ve ever seen this before!

just out of sheer curiosity, what do you guys think about logos with a lot of details/texture, etc? at some point i got it in my head that a logo needs to be easily scalable or able to be used in different mediums like embroidery (i learned this the hard way with my first logo that had brush strokes.) if you are making a detailed logo are you making two versions - one detailed, one simplified? what is the general consensus on this?

Hi everyone! I’d appreciate some feedback on my branding project, ÁGORA.

ÁGORA is a space that brings different experiences together in one place, combining coworking, a café, a bar, and a studio. Conceived as a third place between work and home, it aims to balance productivity, creativity, connection, and leisure.

The visual identity translates this concept through a dynamic, modular system that adapts to the different areas of the space.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on the overall identity, especially the logo and how well it communicates the concept. Does the visual system feel cohesive, and is there anything you think could be improved?

You can check out the full project here: https://www.behance.net/gallery/255060909/AGORA-Brand-Identity

Was trying to create a luxe logo for "Hawa" "حَوَّاء" (arabic) and I started with the thicker san serif logo but got feedback it didnt feel luxe so I tried a san serif.

I tried designing swiss style poster which I might use as room decoration. I just can’t decide between the two versions before I send the design to printing service. So I would greatly appreciate to know people’s opinion on which one is more visually appealing.

Any potential advice is welcome as well!

Do I need to thicken the latin text for recognition or anything?

Context: high-end/mid luxe brand Hawa (and in arabic) with a serpent head in the logo. Bold, breaking barriers, curiosity brings transformation. not supposed to be an inherently middle eastern brand, but global and approachable to the western consumer also.

There's not much more to it than that; it's a MA. I'm redesigning it because I had one before, but it was too sharp and edgy and didn't represent me. With the new one, I'm aiming for a calmer and more informal image but without overdoing it

Edit: Bro, I'm a designer :'), I hadn't noticed the resemblance to binoculars, I guess I have to start over. Perhaps I didn't explain myself well because of the translator; it's my personal brand, a graphic design business.

This was a very unlikely pairing, Nestlé, which is one of the most genuinely profits before people corporations hiring underground comix legend Skip Williamson to illustrate their Spook Group packaging for Quik, to give the kiddies something to look at while they drink their chocolate milk. Skip must have gotten a gig with some ad agency, because he left a trail of commercial work in the seventies that didn’t fit in with his comix pieces & the usual suspects of radical papers & record covers. x SEAN

Hi everyone!
This is my third poster, part of my attempt to teach myself graphic design. I’m currently exploring posters, album artwork, and illustration, with a focus on understanding visual communication, how to translate ideas, feelings, and information into something visual.

For this piece, I created a fictional contemporary movement performance called Between States, experimenting with typography, transparency, and composition to suggest movement and stillness.

I don’t have a formal background in design, so I’m mostly learning through experimentation, trial and error, and figuring things out as I go.

I’d really appreciate any constructive criticism, especially regarding composition, hierarchy, typography, or anything I might be overlooking. I’d love to know what I could improve or keep in mind for future projects!

I recently connected with an art director who is hiring for a mid level graphic designer. The company is UK-based and they told me they were looking for a US-based designer (they often travel to the US for video and photo production) to join the team.

The art director told me to send them my info as well as desired compensation, but I’m unsure on how to approach this. I know that compensation for UK designers differs from US quite a bit, and for context in my last job I was making 80,000 USD in a HCOL area as a mid level designer. Should I give a number range and also say I’m open to negotiate? Not sure how to approach this strategically!

Hello friends. I'm looking for some general feedback on the logo I'm creating for a private school.

Some background: They're looking to refresh their current logo. I won't go into too much detail about what's wrong with it. Flip over to the second photo, and I'll let y'all form your own opinion on that. But long story short, their logo needs an update haha.

Here's the brief:

Problem: The existing logo is antiquated and too visually complex in its messaging.

Objective: Create a logo that is easily reproducible, simple, and responsive across various media. If possible, please consider the school's mission and values.

Brand Personality: Safe, fun, exciting, accepting, inclusive, energetic, unlimited potential, intentional, hands-on, eager, enthusiastic, innovative, and adventurous.

Style Preferences: Minimalist, Clean, Versatile

I presented a few logo options, and they're leaning towards this design. Their original logo uses the Delicate Arch as its symbol, so I wanted to keep that but simplify it. For the typeface, I decided to go with a serif to give it a more academic and premium feel.

Thoughts on the overall design? What's working/not working? Any advice on how I can tighten up the logo lockup - i.e., tracking, leading, alignment between elements, etc.?

Thanks in advance!

I have to commute an hour by train and made this illustration + the graphic design. I did have a reference for the posture of the character. I used to do illustrator explainer style work a lot as a freelancer, but now being a teacher I enjoy making these just for the fun of it. The line art with a minimal set of colours and using basic shapes always appeals to me. It is an easy way of creating fun graphics.

im also at a new point in my career where im starting to work with more jr designers (more as just a secondary reviewer, not art director level yet), and im struggling to figure out how to support them with things like reports, documents, and flyers. some of it is just my inexperience giving feedback in a work environment in general, and i know some of it will just take time, but i also know it's been discussed as a general weak point in a lot of student portfolios, so i figure someone has dealt with this.

like, do i send them optimal line-length articles? do i leave 300 comments on every margin that's off in their document? do i just consider it not my business and let it slide? lol in all seriousness i will most likely also ask the CD i work under for advice, but i was curious about other people's experiences and what they've found genuinely helpful, as i've honestly never had that much trouble with typesetting past, say, typography 1 or 2 during college.

Like the title says… favorite job boards or favorite ways you’ve gotten a job.

I made this to solve some 3D printing problems that i kept running into, but it works for vectors and videos too. Thought some folks in here might appreciate it / find it helpful.

Why did i make it?
1. Dithering photos is impossible in slicer tools
2. I needed the print as stepped layers instead of one layer of many colors

Once I built the 3D exports the other file types were easy to support so I figured I'd offer those too.

Gallery shows just some of what it can do. If there is more interest I'd be happy to share more!

Tried bevel and emboss for the first time I felt so incredibly frustrated trying it over and over again but im actually proud this time. Since I turned 16 I've been hoping to get better and practice things like psychology with higharchy colors and more

Built my portfolio as a Behance Post. I have no idea if that's okay or if anybody's even going to bother clicking on it, or if it's better to build a web page. I also have no clue if the work exhibited here is good enough to get myself hired. Any tips?

I’ve been on a mission to try and design colourful food/snack packaging because i feel like so much of branding today is boring and simple.

It stared with FizzPop a fictional soda pop brand i created to test out if i could make readable flavours just from the designs of the cans themselves. (I recently made a post about FizzPop to this subreddit if you wanna see it check my profile)

But ever since i made the first designs for FizzPop i knew i wanted to do chip bags too cause they fall into a similar “junk food” category in my mind. and so I designed a few of the most iconic potato chip flavours (at least in terms of western flavours). And when coming up with what logo to put on the bags I thought it would be fun to make “CrispPop” as if the company that makes FizzPop also has a line of chips too, as if they’re just off branches of one conglomerate company. (Like pepsico & fritolay)

But enough rambling. You’ve seen my designs lmk what you think I’m always very open to constructive feedback. Graphic design is very fun for me i don’t do it professionally in any sense but i’m always trying to improve. 🤍

It’s been challenging trying to get the eagle’s talons to look right. I’ve been tweaking the design for a while, trying to find a solution that feels natural and fits the overall logo. I generally avoid Ai but was curious in how it would solve this geometric problem. Option A is what ChatGPT came up with, even after multiple attempts at prompting it to create geometric talons that complement the rest of the design.

All other options are hand drawn and created in illustrator.

The copy was given in a brief, so I'm only looking for feedback on the design. I used a black, orange, olive and beige palette with metallic 3D objects (AI-generated) to tie the 5 slides together. Mainly wondering about hierarchy and readability on mobile. Be blunt!
