Anyone have a simple solution for making a prototype with an animated gif looping in content, on a page, not as a transition?

Making a prototype of some content-style pages that feature animated gifs as header images (mobile) -- but having a hell of a time finding a simple, reasonably non-technical prototype solution that supports a looping gif on the page, versus as a transition between screens. Any ideas or preferred solutions?

Designing an Android app, what should I keep in mind? Should I use templates? They all look the same.

Designing a concept for a friend who needs it for college (college has little to do with actual apps or even IT), still the app needs to look somewhat legit. Should I use the top bar and burger menu? Can I just design whatever I want as long as it makes sense UI-wise?

The website in focus is www.sarod.com, and I wanted to reuse the filigree like gold elements used in the the [side links background images.](http://www.sarod.com/images/mast.png) 

Does anyone know where I can find more examples of ornate Indian (Hindustani) monoline filigree?

Presentation 'Gimmick' involving Fonts

Hi all,

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I've got to give a presentation on Fonts/typefaces and have got to involve the audience somehow. Others have more practical topics like building/cooking which make their 'gimmick' much easier, for example someone is bringing in chocolate and talking about viscosity. I'm really struggling to think of a way to involve the audience that involves different types. Does anyone have any good ideas/ heard of previous good ideas?

Any help is appreciated!!

I messed up big time, need as much help as possible.

I thought that my college portfolio was due after the first semester. turns out its due before the application deadline. which is the 29th... I need 10-15 images. I'm freaking out, have no prior works to add, and need some help.

What do I do? Obviously need to pull an all nighter and design. But my mind is too clouded to figure anything out. I want to do web design and logo design. I've been trying for 2 hours to get 1 piece finished and cant seem to get an idea started.

I need help T_T

Client keeps adding things to the design.

We developed a really great brand line for a food manufacturer. Clean, simple, but with clearly defined areas for important information. But we're running into an issue with the owner of the business who wants all of these things added to the package, and specific changes made that completely ruin any sense of consistency or simplicity that the labels have.

I've tried explaining to them why we try to keep it simple and eye-catching. At the supermarket, you have very little time to grab someone's attention, and if your design is cluttered and looks like the side of a NASCAR driver's shirt, it's going to get lost. I've given them better alternative designs, but now they are going so far as to INSIST that certain elements are placed in certain areas. (for example, in a "tear open" resealable pouch, they want to put information ON the tear-line, meaning that important information will be torn in half at the top of the package)

The point of contact at their company understands where I'm coming from, as do most of the employees, but the owner wants it done his way, despite my best efforts to convince them otherwise.

With every "non-advisable" change, I make it clear that in my professional opinion, it's a bad idea, and I provide an alternative. I feel like I already know the answers I'm going to get here, that it's a "paycheck" job, and just hold my nose and do it. Which yes I understand, it's his company, his call. I think I'm just venting more than anything. Why pay an agency if you are going to insist that you are the expert?

Help with a logo?

Hi designers, I"m sorry if this is the wrong place for this- if it is, please direct me to any other reddit design groups!

My local roller derby league is in the middle of a redesign and we're looking for help with a logo. We have money set aside to pay (I refuse to be one of those people that shows up on r/choosingbeggers) but we're a non-profit so its only a couple hundred. Our league members have submitted ideas so we have a small basis to work from, and we're looking for someone willing to work with our little girl gang. Would anyone here be interested or know somewhere I could post for interested designers?

Editorial Publication to Web Edition?

We have an article-based 40ish page publication that gets published physically every other month or so. We're interested in this publication having a web edition released concurrently, but with a streamlined-workflow.

The current workflow is that the articles get written and handed to the designer along with the photos that pertain to the article. The designer then designs the pages of the articles. The pages follow a grid structure but deviate in layout quite a bit. Think Wired magazine. The designer then also designs any pages outside of article content: Covers, Table of Contents, etc. A PDF gets output for approval, and the source files get sent to a printing company who prints and binds the publication.

We've looked into technology like FlippingBook, which makes it easy to turn a PDF into an interactive web thing, but we've found they can be frustrating for users, and don't work great on a phone or tablet, which is pretty important.

Ideally, something like Muse would work, but there doesn't seem to be a way to get the article content out of InDesign and into Muse without copy/pasting and recreating the whole document.

At this point, I'm open to suggestions.

[help] Masters in curating and/or exhibition design

Hey guys, I'm getting close to finishing college, graduating in product design with extra classes of graphic design. I am now researching about possible masters or post graduate courses in design curating and exhibition design (I will probably end up doing both, but I need to chose one as the first). I'm having kind of a hard time finding courses, I feel like all the sites I'm visiting kind of miss something. If any of you work with this, or know about courses, could you give me some help? I live in Brazil, but I'm Brazilian and Portuguese, so a masters in Europe is my focus. I speak Portuguese, English, and am learning German (level B1 currently). I have no restrictions when talking about location, depending on the language I'm willing to learn it (I learn reasonably fast). I already have one in mind - design curating and writing, at the Design Academy Eindhoven, in the Netherlands. Anyone that can give me some other options?

Help - Someone copied my portfolio

Hi all I posted this a while back in another group but certain situations came up that now I don't know how to pursue this predicament I'm in.

Basically long story short: I graduated last year in May (bachelors) and a master's student that graduated from the same year (I know him) stole some of my projects and placed them on his website. I only found out about this because he said bye as he was driving off to his new found job. The projects are a pure copy and past onto his website - never worked with him, never fully interacted with him.

Now what I've done so far: Contact the university - after two months they said they can't do anything since they don't know when he posted this (pre/post grad).

Contacted the company he got hired to: They were really upset about the situation and told me that they would keep me in touch and that he will most likely get fired along with my work being taken down. (sent them lots of evidence, along with the university's support).

Now - they won't reply to my emails about updates, and it's been two months, my works still up on his website, and he's still working there.

I recently wrote him a message on facebook (don't have his email) since he's my "friend" on it telling him to take it down.

Don't know what I should do at this point. I'm applying to new positions currently along with grad school - and I don't want this to hinder me in any way. A designer on the side gave me the CEO's email to directly contact him now but I don't know if I should.

old story post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Design/comments/7iw80u/professional_advice_toward_pure_plagiarism/

Any directions would help, thank you >...<

summary: I graduated with bachelors, he's in the masters program Copied and pasted my work onto his website University we graduated from knows but can't do anything His company knows, were upset at first that he did this, but now are quiet (been 2 months, still up & still works there)

Was asked to design a handout for after a film screening, asking people to donate to the production costs. The "how to donate" link is very long and I can't get it to fit nicely in a way that is easy-to-read and fits with the other constraints I have. Ideas?

Picture trying to fit "thisisthefilmtitle.net/pages/this-is-how-you-donate-to-the-film-thanks-so-much.php" so that it's readable on a handout that will measure 4x3 inches.

My gut tells me to put a link like this front-and-centre, on one line, bigger than the other text...but that's not going to work.

Also, the audience for the film will mostly be middle-aged, so I really can't compromise readability. For this reason I also shy away from doing something with a QR code, for example.

I'm doing this on a volunteer basis. No one else with design experience signed up to help. I told her I was really busy this week but could do it the night before the screening (it's tomorrow at noon). So there's no time to, for example, suggest they modify the website to make the link shorter.

URL shorteners are not an option; it's not professional, harder to type in, and the audience might think it's a virus or something. Unless someone can recommend something that might work?

I really hate the idea of breaking it up onto two (or three! aa) lines...

Hey everyone! I'm new to this subreddit. I've made a design for a t-shirt in illustrator for a contest for a local company.

If so, how should I send the PDF so they can actually see it instead of the white on white background? Thank you!
