What are your favorite Google fonts?

I've been into Montserrat. I just love how it looks in all caps with some increased tracking (for logo and heading design). What are your personal favorites?

I designed a set of 3D printed planters for my plants, aptly called “PlantPants”, to give them a little extra charisma. I’m also developing a larger, ceramic slipcast version.

Hey everyone!

For my college project, I had to redesign a Brazilian food delivery app called “AiQFome” and I decided to upload the results to Behance.

Thanks.

Trying to Find an Old Designer on 99designs?

I submitted a contest on 99designs a few years ago for logo design. One piece of artwork I really liked but it was too complicated for a logo. After logging into my account, I saw so many deleted designers and missing work and photos, what gives? How can I go about in finding this designer again? I'd like to at least pay them and get a higher quality image of the work.

Trying to make an animated GIF longer than 500 frames using After Effects and Photoshop.

Trying to tweak my GIF using Photoshop because of the file size controls and I am hitting the 500 frame limit. I've been doing some research on this and the confirmed work around of stitching multiple 500 frame files into Photoshop is not working. My first stitch worked, once (950+ frames) but after that Photoshop just craps out. I can't even get it to repeat the 950 frame results I just mentioned. I just get "Could not complete operation, an unknown error has occurred."

The next method I tried was to:

  • Spit out my 500 frame sections from AE as animated GIFs. (This satisfies my 500 frame limit)
  • Open GIFs in Photoshop for a GIF export, so as to tweak the file size. I am trying to stay under a 50MB total limit so I figured I would export my GIFS out of Photoshop for a combined total that is less than 50MB. Using my calculator my new GIFs all add up to about 48MB (under my limit, cool!)
  • I take these files and stitch them together in AE.

My final render from AE of the animated GIF comes out to like 150+ MB or something absurd. AE's GIF controls are pretty crappy, I was hoping that the GIFs that I fine tuned for my stitched render would produce something close to the total of their parents. How is this render tripling in size when I only used small files and nothing else?

Does anyone have any proven solutions for my problem? I want to work with a long animated GIF, I don't care that it isn't proper form. All of the proven solutions I found are back form 2016 or later.

Thanks in advance!

Creative Cloud alternatives?

Hello All,

Thank you for your time, and hope your day goes well. Is anyone frustrated with the pricing of Adobe apps? Same discussion, different day. I doubt there are any decent ways to rip the programs now, have not found any ways of obtaining a free subscription. If you don't have a way, how have you stayed relevant and boycotted the programs? What are your tricks for avoiding the costs?

Thanks,

B

Got a hold of these Herman Miller chairs – help identify?

I've got a hold of these chairs. They were being thrown out, and i saved a couple of them. I also got the metall frame for the chairs, but they're not assembled.

Now there's not much info on them besides a label on the bottom that says Herman Miller.

I've tried searching around on the internet for a bit and found some similar ones:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-70s-MCM-HERMAN-MILLER-EAMES-Fiberglass-Shell-Chair-Green-Free-Shipping/323663579562?hash=item4b5bda49aa:g:5OMAAOSwH2RcSQJI&autorefresh=true

This one got a different colour. According to the seller it's "Made in USA August 1972 – Covered in original green fabric, with dark green fiberglass back."

The ones i snagged are more orange, and also two in red.

Another one i found was this:

https://www.ebay.de/itm/Herman-Miller-Sidechair-2-Stuck-Vitra-60er-70er-Chair-Stuhl-Design-Panton-Ara/283442749493?hash=item41fe812035:g:208AAOSwo6hcqGKq

calling them "Sidechair" and saying they're from Vitra made by Charles Eames

Is this accurate? Any Vitra/Eames/Herman Miller or chair afficionados in here?

Another question would be the the issue with the look of them. They're dirty as hell.

Anyone know how to restore/clean a chair like this? I don't want to ruin them. Is there a sub for this?

A product designer told me his girlfriend used nail polish to restore a chair once. Would this be a good idea?

Cheers, hope you can help me out.

Edit: added the photo… :)

[Design Illiterate] Question about Web Design...

[Total Noob Question- sorry!] Tried posting in the web design sub, but my question was apparently too basic for the rules ha.
TL;DR: Could I use Wix's free Web Builder to generate the look and feel, and then pass on to someone who could develop it?

I've been trying to hire someone to build a new website for me for quite some time. As it turns out, I'm a clients worst nightmare in the beginning stages. I don't mean to be, I just have no idea how to express what I want, what I like, etc. On top of that, I'm incredibly illiterate when it comes to design work. And then it gets even more difficult trying to find examples that are never "quite there".

I want my site built on Wordpress- but I was wondering if it'd be possible for me to use the free/cheap web builder through wix to get the general look & feel down, and then send that over to a professional to actually build it for me. Is this even possible? Are there glaringly obvious issues I don't know about?

Thanks in advance for any input!

Opinions on creating a separate logo for a brand's slogan?

A company I am currently working with has adjusted their brand message and is looking to develop a mark for it. From what I've seen in my research, both in their market and in others, businesses don't usually develop a completely separate logo for their slogans -- it usually just tends to be a wordmark. They already have a well established and recognizable logo for their business, but want to create a distinct logo for their new message. I'm worried that this might muddle their branding and actually take away from their current logo. I was wondering if anyone has any thoughts or opinions on this?

What fonts are you using a lot in 2019?

I catch myself defaulting to these four the most:

Gotham

Proxima Nova

Editor (Extended Sample)

GT Sectra (Display)

Any new fonts in your rotation lately? What are some you've phased out? I actually loved Montserrat for a good long while (and who didn't?!), but the capital "G" and "J" simply didn't do it for me. Very glad to replace it with Gotham and Prox.
