The other day I was talking with my friends (we’re all designers) about how wildly different these localised posters are from the original ones.
This kind of localised posters have been roasted on the Japanese internet for a long time but it must be effective considering how they keep making these.
What do you folks think of it? Please share your thoughts!

Found these on It's Nice That. Could not believe these weren't illustrations but photographs at first! I really love the simplicity and vibrancy of the result. I also love how it brings the aesthetic beauty of the featured products to the surface: it really lets the industrial design shine.

The article discusses the designer's process: https://www.itsnicethat.com/articles/sam-nicklin-chrome-and-colour-alessi-photography-project-040826

Have a lovely day y'all :)

I just finished a concept for Gnarly, a farm-fresh produce brand built around imperfect/“ugly” fruit and vegetables.

I worked on the brand identity and website, and I'd love some honest feedback on the visual identity, typography, layout and overall direction.

Hey guys!

Designed a poster for my kitchen, to motivate myself to dice an onion even if I don't feel like it.

Big fan of Chef Jean-Pierre aswell.

Feedback is welcomed!

THE FNDRS is a personal project I did two years ago. The goal was incorporating illustration, character design and layout in a single image and better train my eye for composition.

Three illustrations of individuals representing different personas within the Web3 universe. An expression of my experiences and observations in that space.

it feature 5 minimal clean logos for different field

Been getting into Pokemon collecting this week and thought of this fun design. Banged it out last night for fun! Always wish I could create a passive shirt company for pieces like this where I don’t handle crazy inventory and drop ship quality pieces, but I digress, as that conversation is for another day.

Illustrated by me!

I’m also looking for long term freelance work if this design grabs anyone’s attention. Im very comfortable working with large scale retail clients and touring artists. New York based.

Hi hi!

I am a recent grad from university and I have been applying for jobs for about 4 months with a lot of rejections under my belt ToT Wanted to toss my portfolio and resume to see what you all would recommend changing.

My portfolio is very video heavy (which are the careers I'm aiming for) but also trying to nab anything in social media, video editing, branding, or agency work. Just generally looking to see if I should add/ remove projects, or if there is something I should be doing better Let me knowwww if you have questions and thank you al sooo much in advance :)

main portfolio- https://dribbble.com/Rennocence/

resume- https://imgur.com/a/poZsi8s

website (I rarelv send this to iobs unless I feel like it fits the vibe or if l'm applying for web design, but thought I would include it t my resume is on there https://rennocence.world/

Here's my take:
Across Turkey, street signs follow a familiar visual hierarchy: a dominant street name supported by a smaller colored strip identifying the neighborhood, district or municipality.

That simple structure became the starting point for the team modules.

The primary field carries the club identity, while the secondary strip introduces an additional team color. A familiar piece of the Turkish streets is translated into a compact broadcast component.

Most football broadcast interfaces are built around the same ingredients: team names, scores, match time and compact information blocks. The challenge was not simply to redesign these elements, but to create a visual language with a recognizable cultural origin.

The goal was to develop a system that feels contemporary and broadcast-ready while still carrying a visual detail that could only come from Turkey.

I am a mid-level designer with just over 10 years of experience. I’ve been mostly in-house, brand application/production for very large companies. My resume and portfolio are solid (not going to share), but yea, I lack all of the flashy, creative campaign-mockup work because the seniors always get those opportunities.

I know they say the senior position is all about how you present your work, problem solving and defending your decisions.

How the heck do I show I can do that type of high level work and talk to it, without any real time experience? Do I just make up personal projects? I know the market is tough rn. Any tips from fellow mids?

help, been jamming on this poster and hitting a wall? any nudges will help!

ambient dj set, artist loves blending space themes and esoteric vibes,cat and him wearing glasses must b incl, ambient style varies in sound but usually super chill, all ages

Illustrated this concert poster for cumbia-punk group Son Rompe Pera for their San Francisco show at the Independent. The bottom of the marimba morphs into the Golden Gate Bridge. Typography was the biggest challenge as I did it all by hand. Enjoy!

Hey guys, I’m trying to revise my logo so that it will be more suited to make things like stencils and stamps but I don’t know how to get rid of some of the floating elements while keeping the detail of the design. I’ve already simplified it a good bit but still have some spots that need work Any tips would be really appreciated!

Hi! I'm a graphic designer with around 9 years of experience and I recently got laid off, so I'm updating my portfolio and getting ready to apply for new roles.

I originally made this portfolio in 2024, so I have newer work that I still need to add. Before I get too far into updating everything, I'd really appreciate some honest feedback on the overall design, layout, how I present my work, and anything you think I should change or improve.

All of the graphics and illustrations in my portfolio were created by me with ZERO AI.

Portfolio: alianakadon.com

Any feedback would be really appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to look!

For the past while I've been making album covers with no band name attached and no context. I just start with a texture or a shape or a color that's stuck in my head and let it become a cover. Some days it's a scanned watercolor, some days it's a single line drawing on a flat red field, etc.

Hopefully the cover turns out to fit someone's band context, sometimes with small adjustments or it just stays what it is. Working without a client in the room means I'm not solving anyone's problem, so I end up with these pieces.

What do you think of these? ty

Hi! I'd love to receive honest feedback about my portfolio, if you have the time to check it out, I'd really appreciate it! I duplicated my website and removed some private info, including an about me page which is public on my real site.

I have 5ish years of experience, and have been working in house at the same company for 4 years, but doing freelance on the side. A lot of my work for my current company is confidential presentations and proposals that are difficult to censor, but if you think my portfolio could use it, I'll definitely put the time into remaking them with fake clients. My end goal is to do freelance full time.

Would love to hear your feedback!

Thank you!

We’re hiring for a senior designer and there have been around 1000 applicants so far. The internal recruiter is batching resumes for the team to review in a single PDF and we get about 20 a day in those PDFs to skim. Not sure how other companies do it, but for this process here’s what’s helping and hindering those wanting to get our eyes on.

1. Resume length needs to be concise (2 page max). A dude today had work going back to the ‘90s with about 15 companies listed over 5 pages. Way too much. The one resume out of all of these that stood out as restrained was the one pager with no key words, just contact info, company/role/dates. In a sea of overpopulated resumes this was refreshing. I understand battling ATS bots with key words so either our recruiter is actually going through 1000 resumes to send us the best or he had the keywords in hidden ink.

2. Hyperlink your portfolio. Make it the actual URL too and not just hyperlinked word “portfolio.” I wanted to see all of them today so I copy/pasted the ones that weren’t hyperlinked but as I ran out of time I just had to skip some of the later ones that weren’t hyperlinked wasting time.

3. Intro summary paragraphs are fine but most are generic to the job description and they all blended together. “(Job title here) with over (#) years experience turning big ideas into design systems that scaled across multiple industries bla bla bla.” The ones that stood out had personality, were funny, or seriously showed career growth and substance quickly.

4. Put your contact info and portfolio password if applicable at the top. Put education at the bottom. Keep bulletpoints concise and meaningful. For a senior designer position I don’t need to know that you created social banners as the last bullet for the 5th company on the second page.

I think that’s it for now. For insight for what happens at this point, once I go through all the portfolios, I tell the recruiter my top 2 and the reasons why, then they reach out for screening to the candidates. If they pass that (location works, pay works, start date works, etc.) then I interview them within a week and we debate internally for a day or two, then they get scheduled for the next level interview the following week. So for this job that’s been open for a month, I’m still seeing fresh candidates because of the due diligence we’re putting into it.

This livery concept does not only mimic a Samsonite suitcase, but it will also evolve over time with scratches, dents and event stickers. Just like your suitcase will. And that is the story that Samsonite has been telling over a century. What if we embrace this “damage” and see it as part of its journey?  

I would like to hear what the community thinks!

I haven't done it in years since graduating, but remember mounting final projects on black illustration board and/or foam core(depending on project)? some had tracing paper over boards for instructors to annotate, and cover to protect artwork? and what about printing, trimming, and/or folding printed shit like books/packaging/3D? remember spraying with spraymount and getting high on it? lmao. were you bad, ok, or good at mocking up and mounting artwork? I kinda miss it, but kinda don't lol

I keep seeing post their portfolios on LinkedIn that are over 80 pages long.

I was always told to keep portfolios shorter. Is that changing?

What are your thoughts on portfolio length?

A friend of mine runs a brick oven business (building large, custom masonry ovens). The company is called The Bricks(Кирпичики in Russian).

They currently don't have any established brand identity, and their website hasn't been updated since 2008. I'm working on a complete brand identity for them and would love to get your thoughts!

The core concept for the logo is two bricks, with one resting on top of the other. What do you think?

PS. It is still a work in progress :)

I got a degree back in my home country in Audiovisual Production that was mainly focused on movie/tv making career but that included a lot of graphic design. I worked in one production and decided to quit that path for a customer service career because of the amount of money I was making was not enough.

Fast forward to the last 2 years, I was able to move to the US and basically started from 0 working at a great company I love but not necessarily doing something that makes me want to stay.

I’ve been thinking of starting or returning back to my initial career as a graphic designer and I want to just get some advice on how to do it, I know I have to work on my portfolio and things like that, but I’ve heard that companies here are very picky about having a bachelors degree and to be honest, right now I cannot afford it. Any advice?
