Advice on basic digital design

I need a bit of help with starting out in digital design. If this isn't the right place for this, please direct me to where it would be better. I've been hired to design some campaign posters, and although I've created concept designs on paper, I'm not sure how to create and polish them digitally. It's nothing too fancy, I'm just wondering where I should start. Thank you.

Here's an example of an invitation I need to make digitally: dinner invitation

Not sure if this is the right place, but I cannot figure this out. Illustrator Pathfinder question.

I have a black and white, two colored file in illustrator using many layers and shapes. Is it possible to create one layer with one object/group with only black and get rid of the white, without using pathfinder on each individual layer.

I've tried selecting all and merging in pathfinder, then selecting white and deleting all of those shapes, but it isn't too exact. I have some thin lines that become even thinner when doing that and it does not look right.

Is it possible to like, save one color only as a separation, or to flatten all the layers and then select and delete the white?

Term for external building design?

I've been asked by a client (I undertake occasional contract type work for non-profits) to consider options for a redesign of the exterior of their building. Having predominantly worked in print and web design, this is a first. What I'd like to know is, what is the name for exterior shop/facade design to better help me find examples and resources (also any links to examples resources would be helpful.)

---

While this particular project might be beyond my area of expertise, I'm excited about the possibility of stretching my mind and design skills into this new area.

Question on choosing the right screen size.

TL;DR Editorial designer and illustrator can't choose between 27" and 21.5" iMac after working with laptop screens for almost ten years, wondering what's the best size and the best computer for the work I do.

Hello, guys!

I'm an editorial designer and illustrator and I currently work with a 7yearold Macbook Pro, which isn't just old but also too small to comfortably work in.

For the first time ever I'm buying a new computer and I can't choose between the 21.5" and 27" iMac.

Basically, the 27" looks gigantic to me (probably due to being used to work with small screens). My brother and SIL are editorial designers as well and they recently purchased 27" iMacs, they say it's the perfect size for working with books and are very happy with their computers (my SIL upgraded from a 21.5").

Due to Hot Sale both computers are currently at a great price. The project I'm working on is well-paid so I can afford the bigger computer and I think it's a good investment.

Of course the 27" also has better features and I really like it but my main doubt is size.

Do you think 21.5" is good or 27" would be better? Are there other options I should consider?

Feel free to share your experiences.

Jack of all trades?

I'm quite a jack of all trades. I can do some basics of visual design (I know my way quite well around the adobe programs, and also gestalt laws etc), writing code (html, css, jqeury atm), usability testing, researching (desk but also laddering interviews, brand, etc).

You get the idea.

I'm only 23 at the moment, so I do want to specialize in something soon. How bad is it to be the jack of trades? Some companies seem to love that they have something that can at least do something simple of everything, so they don't have to hire an extern (for simpler projects)

What is your experience on this?

Question about graduate school

First off I apologize if this is the wrong subreddit to ask this question but I couldn't find a better place to post it. So I am a year out of my undergraduate degree, I a majored in Electrical Engineering, and after spending some time working at an EE firm I decided it isnt the path I want to go down. So after doing some soul searching I realized that a career blending technology and design is more along the lines of what I want to do. Right now I am looking at two graduate programs in NYC, I live here and don't want to leave the city, and would love some advice from people who may have gone through them or know people who have. The first program is an MFA in Design and Technology at Parsons and the second program is an MS in Integrated Digital Media at NYU. Both seem to be similar with the Parsons program being more studio focused. My main questions are how an MS is viewed in comparison to an MFA in the tech industry and how whether one limits potential job opportunities. Also if anyone has gone through either program I would love to hear your thoughts on it.

Insights on a vehicle wrap?

Hey design friends!

I'm an inexperienced designer working to build my portfolio. As such I have conned (mwahaha) a friend into letting me do the branding for his small (think <5 people) construction business.

Here's my issue:

His business offers two main "types" of service -- concrete and carpentry. He's asked me to design a wrap for his truck (think a 10' cube van), which he uses for both businesses. He has expressed a desire to sort of separate his services into two companies under the same umbrella with the concrete side more marketed toward commercial builders and the carpentry (decks and fences) marketed toward the residential homeowner type sector.

I have done some research and I've seen it indicated that a good wrap does not include bullet-point lists of services offered. I've come up with a few possible ideas to "handle" this 2 businesses on one cube van situation.

1) A pretty, eye-catching design with minimal text branded under generic "construction" that intrigues the viewer enough to check out the website or call the boss man to ask about his services. I'm thinking this could include some abstract elements of the business (ie: include the spray texture for the foundation waterproofing and maybe some wood grain for the carpentry side).

2) Ignore the existing design advice and include a few keywords pertaining to the services offered on a split but complementary type design. It's a small company and as yet people are unlikely to make the brand association between the name and the services offered, so there's some appeal to this approach.

3) Try an all-encompassing picture-- like, a house with the foundation exposed and a fenced yard which represents the facets of the business in a more literal way, and keep text to a minimum.

Thoughts? Critiques? Advice?

Thanks guys!

Teaching and Assessing Kids' Design Skills/Knowledge

I will be creating projects with a smaller group of older teens who have very little to no design experience with design. The idea for the long-term program is create print, web and video campaigns for a few public services/events around town. As I was informed, some of these kids have a little design experience in their background - but apparently not much. Before I jumped into the program and bang out a bunch of videos and billboards, I came up with the idea of conducting a session (maybe a couple of sessions) to assess their knowledge and skills in various Adobe CC programs, iMovie, printing, and so on.

Being that these are older teens, I am now trying to find a relatively interesting way to teach them the basics of putting a video together to promote an event. I don't know if standing up and teaching a formal "follow along with me" class is very interesting at all. I thought of choose your own adventure type of video class where I have the kids pick a beginning, middle and end scene, music, effects, etc. as we go along and show them the basics that way. But is that too much for a couple hours of "class time?"

Does anyone have experience in an informal class or workshop environment like this?

Should I charge more if my design style is unique?

I have a potential client who has reached out to me to work on some designs for a promotion they have. Based on our back and forth, they like the style of my work and I'd like to think that I'm slowly cultivating a style that is my own--my identity as a designer/artist.

I want to figure out how much to charge and I'm not sure how to decide.

• I have many years experience in design but very few clients.
• I did adverts for Disney (billboards, People magazine)
• I rarely get paid for design work nowadays because I mostly work as a web developer (I haven't been hired to do any solo design work in more than 8 years)
• I want to believe that I can charge more if I have a unique style

Thoughts? Am I deluding myself to think I'm so original that I should charge a higher rate for it?

Has anyone actually had to submit or work with a JPEG 2000 image in thier travels?

Just what the title asks - I understand the whys and hows of the format and why it was created, I've just never ever had it be a requirement or requested format in my 15 years of digital art and design.

Has anyone had to provide JPEG 2000 artwork for any project? If so why? I'm legitimately curious about the use cases for using it.
