👏 Well said! Most ideas never see the light of day.
I think threads like this are v important (& interesting) We need more sharing of 'almost' work – because only showing 1 finished thing has helped make a new gen of designers cautious to share iterations, even in crits... but the majority of work we all make is unused!

The team at @LKGGlass is making these awesome holographic screens and now you can easily integrate Spline scenes in there! 🤯

I'm available for animation & illustration work in October 👋 Here's my most recent showreel. I've been busy working on some fun projects since then. I'm hoping I can share them soon! 🥸 rosiephillpot.com [email protected] instagram.com/rosiephillpot RTs appreciated 💙

Students, Grads, Juniors. Do NOT pay for a portfolio review/crit! The design community are used to doing this for free, just as you will one day... If you're out of work / struggling to find work – just ask a designer you admire if they'd spare you 30 mins on Zoom one day.

Freelancing has it's pros and cons but one thing I feel that isn't spoken about enough is how insanely lonely it can feel. The pandemic of course didn't help this but you jump from project to project never really being part of a permanent team. D2C projects are even more lonely.

Wondering what people use for guidelines/brand toolkits for clients these days? Trying to drag myself into the new world and put them online now vs a PDF and a folder with some logos in it. I’ve been trying Brandpad and it’s ok, just wondered if I was missing any…

Putting the feelers out for any (ideally Welsh-speaking) freelance designers. Need a hand for a couple of days next week, potential of ongoing work... Solid InDesign knowledge and good handing of type required. Paid, obvs.

We’re looking for a new designer. If you’re interested, or know someone that might be, all the info is 👇 moderndesigners.co.uk/jobs/
It'd be great if you could temporarily toggle smart guides in Illustrator. Please make this happen @Adobe

Similar to how Hand Tool can be temporarily toggled with the space bar.
Calling Digital Designer who want to do great work, with a great agencuy. 👇

Good news! We've been lucky enough to have had a few project wins, and as a result we're looking to hear from freelance brand designers to help out with concepting and design as we head into Winter. Please send portfolios to [email protected] or send us sites below 👇
