Help with my short video

Hello, I am working on refining my animatic (much more animation work will be done) but want to get some feedback to help guide my overall direction, please help, the video is only 1 min long, and survey should only take a few min tops. Did the survey on there rather than via comments to hopefully get first time unbiased opinions. Thanks! Video: https://vimeo.com/262659969 Survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/8LZFRWR

Examples of animation studio with a good eye for graphic design?

Wanted to see if /r/design knows some great studios/designers that are sort of an hybrid between an animation studio and a design studio. With work you can clearly see has been made by a designer who has learned to animate and not by someone who was classically schooled.

Not meaning meaning the standard explaination / motion graphic here. Im looking for animation work that uses graphic design principles as it's main way of communication and is conceptually strong, bordering on art.

And to start a meta discussion, what do you think the borders of graphic design are? Where do you think graphic design stops being graphic design and starts beeing some else: like art, animation, illustration or even programming?

Switching from PC to Mac

So drawing off this post what would be some of the tips you guys have for someone switching from working full time on PC to MAC.

I’m not really too worried about the CC shortcuts etc because we do have Macs in the office and I did not have any problem with using cmd after a while when I did use them but I am specifically asking about things like.

Application setup. Wacom usage/installation Font installation etc Actual settings that would help the transition.

The new systems are the 27 inch Macs with the Magic Mouse, I’m thinking about replacing the mouse with a mouse with a scroll wheel and separate right click though

Mac designer possibly switching to a job that uses PC

I'm a graphic designer with 5+ years working on a Mac with Adobe Creative Suite and learning how to use it in college on a Mac but I am possibly taking a job that will be using a Dell since their servers aren't compatible with Mac.

Have any of you had to switch from Mac to PC for any reason? How difficult was the transition? I have been a little fed up lately with the Operating System updates with Mac which has been causing several crashes and glitches so I am not totally against it but I am mainly concerned about the keyboard shortcuts, Windows operating system being quite a bit different and with different interfaces.

Would this help me get an internship?

Heya, I study Multimedia Design at University of applied sciences.

At the moment I'm trying to organize a 'trip' to a large company for my entire class. At the same time I also need to search for an internship. By organizing these things for my entire class, being the contact person, I've talked to different people from that company already.

My question: Would this be a benefit in actually getting the internship?

Need help branding photography

Hello, r/design!

I have a fair amount of experience with branding businesses and the sort. During my discovery phase, I'll do the user research, create personas, work through brand drivers, create hypotheses, test and iterate those hypotheses... the usual suspects. However, I'm now in a position where I'm attempting to brand a businesses photography and I'm finding myself a bit clueless of where to start. Truth be told, I'm not even confident I know what questions to ask to narrow down my struggle.

Here are the items I'm currently looking to answer during the discovery phase:

  • Goals/Objectives
  • Business Outcomes
  • User Outcomes
  • Differentiation
  • Business Values

And while all these questions are good, I don't yet believe I understand the connection in answering these questions to presenting a photographic visual identity.

Anyone have any suggestions or might be able to provide some reading material? It appears I need to study up!

Looking for a color palette chooser that can find colors based on an input color.

I know of palmetto and coolers as great color choosers. However, what I'm looking to do is to assign an Input color, and then have the color generator pick complementary / tetrad / chromatic colors based on the input color.

Is there any program or app that does this?

How should I organize my pictures?

I use affinity designer to draw lots of physics diagrams and my diagrams are all over the place. Like I run out of space on one artboard, and then I make a new artboard, and just keep on going.

End result: All of my diagrams are all over the place and then when I have to go looking for something, it's extremely time consuming.

Basically, what would be really nice is something where after I draw a diagram, I can like press "special button" which archives the diagram, gives it a tag, and then deletes it from my current art board, so that I can continue drawing. I don't think a function like this exists, but is there any way to do something like this?

How is your creation process after the briefing?

Recently I met two people, owners of a studio, who developed their own design methodology and will write a book about it. So I was curious to know what methodology you guys use.

When I was younger, I thought methodologies weren't good for anything, but nowadays I see how much they are needed so that the process doesn't become a chaos.

ELI5: Why did it cost Netflix "millions of dollars" to use their previous font?

I'm fairly new to design, and am a little bit confused by why Netflix changed their font because they were paying millions to use their previous font "Gotham" (if I have that correct?).

In my experience so far, most fonts I come across cost $50-300 or so, but certainly don't reach the millions. I also wasn't familiar with type foundries. Do they make/sell exclusive fonts to companies? And it's the right to exclusivity that costs a company millions? I was under the impression Gotham was a fairly popular font to use.

Anyway, explain this to me! Would love to understand this.

Do you post process pics of your work? Or do you only post the final products?

I am reading Show Your Work! by Austin Kleon (who wrote Steal Like an Artist) and he highly recommends showing process pics and letting your audience in on the behind-the-scenes action, while acknowledging that in the past it was recommended to hide your process. Do you show your BTS pics? Or do you only show the final products? Of the designers/illustrators/artists you follow do you prefer they show BTS pics or prefer only seeing the final product?

Greetings! I need desperately your advice

Hi guys, good to see you, r/design! Please give me one big advice, i want to be a graphic designer, i like to create logos, brandings and packaging designs, but also stationery items like business cards or flyers and brochures. I am using adobe softwares since high school (like 5 years ago), so, i have a little bit experience, but i do not have a portfolio, because i have worked only personal, for me and friends... I tried to contact few companies and studio designs in romania, bucharest (my town) but they wanted a portfolio on behance, also, its a bit hard to get hired somewhere if you know nobody inside that company. I want to create some fantasy brands, or companies to create things for them like business cards, and brochures...

I dont know what to do. Thanks for your time!

//Andrei.

UX/UI Creating Notifications Advice Needed

I'm a UX Designer. One of my projects is to come up with a 'web flow' that can be linked when a user creates a set of notifications into my companies database.

Ex. User Creates Notification > User Links that Notification to the Release Notes Page)

Second User sees notification > When clicked, takes them to Release Note Page

My question is, has any one seen this type of functionality before? Where a user is able to link notifications, or something similar by a webflow. The closest I've seen is WordPress, but I'm not sure if that functionality would work for my project. Anything would help thanks!

Would anyone be interested to come to Salzburg and teach Design at a Digital Agency?

The idea is, the agency pays for your whole trip and accomodation for 3 weeks working at the agency + 1 week vacation in Salzburg, Austria. Your work would be to come up with new design templates for a few websites and one or two web-based apps.

Would anyone be interested? It is important that you show me your portfolio. We are looking for someone with 5+ years of experience, and someone who has a cool portfolio and has worked for interesting brands.

It´s a new concept, still not sure if we would do it or not, but I want to hear your feedback.

Have you ever received really cruel messages through your design site?

Now, I am the first to admit I am not the most wonderful designer in the world. I have been practicing since 2012 and have an honours diploma in Creative Digital Media - so there's been a time, energy, and financial investment in this path. Anyways - today I received a rather unwarranted message about how I am not a real designer (in this case for web, but I do graphic and print) because I had the nerve to use stock photos, my text was "template-esque" (I did write it, I just happen to be a writer) and they met an unfinished page (do remember this is my own website) with sheer horror.

My skin isn't as tough as it should be - I know it shouldn't matter - but have you ever had people contact just to attack you? How did you feel about it? So discouraging! I always try to encourage designers, etc. Yes the page was unfinished - but I was getting to it.
