Going to buy the new Wacom Intuos Pro Paper edition. Is the medium size enough?

Hi, I'm really having a hard time deciding between the medium size and large size, I don't know if the medium one(A5 size) is enough or small or if the large one is too big or the sweet spot..

Any help and opinions is appreciated! thanks.

I am a transgender comedian making businesses cards. Would it be awkward/off-putting to add my preferred pronouns?

I believe this subreddit is more for the visual aspects of design and this is really a content question, but I am hoping to get some opinions anyways. I would have asked a trans sub but I can guess how they would answer.

For the record I'm a trans woman, present as a woman, have the name "Erin", and use she/her/hers. So my pronouns should be easy to guess. Still...

Have never designed anything in my life and would love some critique on my digital flyer. It doesn't look right and I can't figure out why.

My flyer - White & Black versions

I'm using InDesign as recommended by this subreddit. Had to learn it from scratch since I've never done any graphic design work on anything fancier than paint.

I, for the life of me, can not figure out what I'm doing wrong. The text looks unprofessional and I think it's more than just my font choice. Critique please!

Seeking help for poster design

Hey /r/design designers! I am a PhD student in physiology but I am very passionate about designs and arts. I am having trouble designing a poster template for our scientific journal club.

To break it down, we are looking for something as a template that delivers the name and authors of the journal, the presenter, the time and the address of the meeting. And we can change the content every week as the journal presented changes.

Please let me know if you have any ideas about this. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hey there! I'm trying to make a couple of wall canvas images. I'd like to do the same task around 200 times.

Something to represent "Sacrifice"?

Hey guys, so I'm starting a new Pro Wrestling company called Pro Wrestling Sacrifice. We're called that because every show we do is for Charity!

I'm trying to design a logo but all the big boys use some kind of image in the middle - a silhouette of a Lion or an Eagle, but I need something that represents Sacrifice.

I can't use a Crucifix, because we're not a Religion based company. A Mayan sacrifice might seem a little dark for a logo. Other ideas I had were a Heart or maybe a Soldier Saluting.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

How to measure walking distance?

NYC's wayfinder is what I want to "copy". What's the best way to measure the time to walk within a certain radius? It's obviously not an option to just try it.

I guess convert the radius of the circle to a measurable distance and assume a certain walking speed is the way to go?

Design & accessibility - A contradiction?

Whenever I raise the topic, most designers either cringe or have no clue what I'm talking about. In a nutshell, accessibility aims to help (mainly) people with disabilities to obtain and process information, by either using assistive tech tools, and/or having companies/orgs follow related laws and regulations.

Those who get the cringe are pointing out the creative limitations accessibility rules seem to force upon them, hence most designers prefer to ignore the issue altogether. Ironically enough, so do many accessibility advocates and charities, leaving users with ugly and amateurish appearance. On my quest to try to close that gap, I shared my expertise as a designer and my experience being visually impaired, proving that design can very much remove barriers and be high quality, as long as the other side is willing to accept that rules and regulations aren't always as beneficial as intended. I posted a link to my slides from a presentation I did recently. You're welcome to share your thoughts:

How do I create a 3d plastic tray?

Hi everyone,

I need to create a mockup of a 3d plastic tray, similar to this one:

http://ift.tt/2fj5hir

It's black plastic and will have 4 * 6 compartments.

It's to put on a product image to show "what's in the box" so it doesn't need to match dimensions, or to be usable for the final moulding. But I have no idea where to start, is there any recommended software for easily doing this?

Thank you!

What are your favorite design magazines?

I have been tasked with doing "design outreach" at my job which involves getting articles published in design magazines, but I wondered if anyone still actually subscribes to any. It looks like Communication Arts is still around and a few of the other "old guard" magazines but what about the modern era? Are there any design magazines that you still subscribe to in print? If not, what are some digital magazines (not blogs) that you like? Ideally I'm looking for a user experience focus, but really any type of design is fine. Thanks for your help!

I have never pursued Freelance full time, but I've been given an opportunity to do that because my boss is moving out of state and is referring some/all of her local clients to me. Please advise.

So, the small firm (very small, it's just me and the owner that work there) that I work for currently has recently decided that it's moving out of state. It's a family decision that was a long time in the works, so I totally respect it and am happy for them, but I'm losing my position there, obviously.

Boss has accumulated a few pretty big clients that are the money-makers. She's going to keep them because they are big enough that either her being out of state doesn't affect the relationship, or that it would be worth the cost of traveling back into the state a few times a year for meetings.

She's also accumulated a grip of smaller/more local clients that she doesn't want to take along with her as it just wouldn't be a viable relationship from that distance.

In any case, and here is where I need advice, she has offered to refer all of those clients to me if I'd like to take them on in a freelance capacity. It's a fair amount of clients, but the jobs they need are not all that regular or that big (updating biz cards, minor website management, the occasional poster) but the amount of clients might make that worth it overall.

But here's the rub, I've never freelanced myself out save for a few illustration projects that I sought out.

What am I even looking at here? Is this something that I should take on or would my time be better spent finding another gig at another firm?

I have my boss, before they leave the state, as a great resource for a lot of the things that I don't know how to do currently, and she's happy to help me with as much as she can. But I know that there will be things that I couldn't possibly even know to ask about.

Do I need to brand myself as a "company" or do I just go with my personal branding that I use on my portfolio and things like that?

It's just such an open and wild opportunity and I want to do it right, even if that means accepting that I'm not ready to take it on and declining the referral.

My gut says that I can do it, and I've gleaned a lot in my years of working that makes it seem possible, and I've been reading about freelancing for years as a daydream. But the reality of this, the potential for it to turn into a small business endeavor (Long-shot, but still) is also very exciting.

Perhaps I just need to study and it's mostly a confidence issue that I'm having. I don't know.

If any of you have any experience with this, or just advice in general about freelancing, I'd very much appreciate it.

TL:DR current job is dissolving, I've been offered to be the referral service for over 30 local businesses at least, I've never pursued freelance in a serious capacity as a designer and I'd love some advice/guidance.

Thank you!
