Anyone have some good examples of dense, information heavy UI software?

Working for a company that has a piece of software similar to something like Accounting or Medical Billing.

It's really difficult to find inspiration for something like this, most modern UI and UX lean towards big, open white spaces and funneling the user towards focusing on a single particular task.

Our users hate this. They basically want to see everything on the screen all at the same time. They don't want to click to expand and they don't want to hide anything.

If they could, they'd want the whole thing to look like an excel document.

We give them what they want, but it's messy looking. I just need to find some inspiration that will help me get into a better zone with this thing.

How to start selling?

Hopefully this post is allowed, I was wondering. What would be the best way to fidn customers and sell custom designs. I've been practicing for a while and ordered a wacom to do more, but I'd like to actually earn some money.

It's not my job, more a hobby so not looking for really proffesional stuff.

Thanks!

Tablet for beginner - Wacom One S?

Hi,

I want to buy tablet for very basic stuff. Like editing graphic text for example. I know there is some tablets that works only while hovering, and ones that works with touch of pen and while hovering a pen (cth and ctl). I can't find information if Wacom One S have option to work with both ways.

Anyone know if its just a hovering style? Or just touch style?

Maybe you have other suggestion for a cheap tablet to start with?

​

If that interest anyone I plan to use it for OSU as well beside graphics.

Cards Printed Way. Way Darker than Proof (Nearly Black)

I printed my cards at 4colorprint.com (silkcards.com) with a background color of:

C: 100% M: 78% Y: 45% K: 42%

I received them back and they are nearly black, even darker than navy blue. I realize that an image is not an accurate representation, but it printed out about 8% Black instead of the original 29%.

I understand uploading a photo isn't a good representation, but I can tell you that the color is about 8-9% black. Here is the proof on the right and my received card on the left:

https://imgur.com/a/pc5pAz4

I realize there are deviations in going fro RGB to CMYK, but 20 percent?? They say they will not reprint the cards, and if everyone here agrees that they are right, I will accept defeat. But I am shocked at the final product.

Lesser Known Beautiful Art Forms

There are various art forms which are less known but are incredibly beautiful.

Tarakisi Art

The art form in background is called Tarakisi. Commonly practiced in Cuttack, India. It is finely crafted metalwork of silver and gold.

​

Perlée Art

Perlée pattern: Look at the dashboard on this beautiful car. (Buggati Veyron 16.4). The automotive industry has used patterns on surfaces such as car dashboards since its infancy, but these days it is generally confined to luxury vehicles.

​

Repoussé Art

Repoussé or repoussage It is a metalworking technique in which a malleable metal is ornamented or shaped by hammering from the reverse side to create a design in low relief.

​

Filigree Art

Filigree: It is a delicate kind of jewellery metalwork, usually of gold and silver, made with tiny beads or twisted threads, or both in combination, soldered together or to the surface of an object of the same metal and arranged in artistic motifs.

I hope you like it. It is never possible to cover all beautiful art forms in one article. Will try to make more such posts. Many of the above forms are unknown to people and some of them are getting extinct too.

I have an interview this week for a position as a graphic designer for a marketing firm. They asked me to "bring a portfolio".

No one has asked to see a physical portfolio for a job in at least 8 years--almost everyone else refers to my website. What's the correct course of action here? Do I print a bunch of stuff up? How fancy do I make it? Should I refer them to my website or bring in my tablet?

So I want to learn more digital garment design and I was wondering if anyone could tell me what program 'yellow images' uses to render their mock ups? Once you buy a product, you are able to open it in photoshop and use smart objects to implement design details and mods. It's not just clothing but other products too. I tried emailing them but they wouldn't tell me, which I can understand but I just want to learn for myself. Any help?

Hopefully not too off topic - I have an image I want to print, and need to know the best size paper for physical trimming

G'day friends!

I have an image I want to print, and create a custom MDF frame using basic beading and backing.

The resolution is 8564 x 2500. Looking to put it on the wall in my theatre room, landscape oriented / horizontal.

Basically I'm going to have it printed at a run of the mill photo printer, then build a custom frame for it. Woodwork is my forte, not graphic design :)

Just need to know what size paper to select to get the biggest / widest quality print in that resolution, then trim it with a craft knife and glue it to an mdf backing.

Profession/Semi-Professional Design Management Software?

Greetings Reddit!

My partner and I have a design business that's relatively new as a unit (though we've both been designing and working with clients for 15+ years). About a year or so ago, I started using And Co for invoicing, payment, time tracking, etc. and ended up using it with the business venture. I did enjoy some of the features (especially for a free service), but as they are moving to a PRO model and now only allowing ONE active client at a time, I don't want to pay for a service where I feel the features are lacking. I've looked into 17hats and Zoho Invoice, but not completely sold on them. Any suggestions for a lower cost option (willing to pay if the features are there)?

Features we're looking for:

• *Invoicing (customizable line items, reoccurring payments)
• Online Payments
• *Auto send files once an invoice is paid
• Time Tracking
• Project management/Client Contact info
• Some sort of bookkeeping/expenses function
• Contracts, Estimates are a bonus!

UI Designers: how much time do you spend sketching ideas?

The more I learn about design, the more I see how basically all the problems can be solved with a notebook and a pen.

I probably don’t spend enough time sketching ideas and I want to change that. What’s your process when sketching out ideas? Do you fill pages and pages with every idea you’ve in mind (even bad ones)? How much details you put initially? Any tips to improve?

Thanks!

The business I work for is about to branch out online and do niche work. We've got an old Dolev 800v Imagesetter and want to print prepress negatives from online orders. What is the industry standard currently for prepress proofs?

We also do large format printing. We have a Miehle 25c, Heidelberg Sorsz, and a couple RICOH Pro C901S Graphic Arts Edition printers. I'm setting up a website to try and drum up some more business, but we've never did proofing prior. Does anyone have any experience with proofing prior to going to press?

We use InDesign and I'd imagine there's a way to do the proofs from there. The Dolev 800 produces 4 pieces of film from a postscript file of an image (CMYK). I'd imagine that postscript file containing the 4 images would need to be converted and uploaded to InDesign to create the proof?
