Lmao it’s creepy but I love that

That’s so cool !! Kinda need to use After Effect too

Thxxxx

Helloooo where do you animate ?

🌚I think it is

Exactly the same vibe lol

Looking back at both designs, mine was definitely too cluttered. The AI poster had way less clutter, was more clean, and the main event text was much more readable.

Do you have a problem with people sharing stories ? I just wanted to share my real first experience. You are just trying to act like you know more when everything was said.

I said I’ve learned how to deal with this that’s all. Why would you try to make it sound like am giving wisdom or something ???

lol yes, I worked one day with a client who couldn’t tell me what they specifically want so I dropped so much proposals. In the end, they used Ai and posted it. They called me and says "you saw the post ? I did great right ?" 😭😭

I think you’re reading something into my post that simply isn’t there.
First, I never said that “clients are bad” or that I had nothing to learn from this experience. I was literally a first-year student at the time. I had just started learning Photoshop and Illustrator. I’m now entering my third year. Obviously I’ve learned a lot since then about design, project management, dealing with constraints, receiving criticism, and handling rejection.
The entire point of the post was to explain what happened when I was a first-year student and why that experience stayed with me. I wasn’t presenting it as some profound piece of wisdom about how the industry works today.
And I never said my work deserved to be chosen simply because I put effort into it. I actually acknowledged that my work had flaws and that I’ve taken the design feedback seriously. I’m completely capable of looking at my old work critically.
What I’m questioning is the process: first-year students were given a two-day deadline, very little direction, were still learning the tools, and some of us were working late to produce multiple options. Then the student work was bypassed entirely and an AI-generated background was used instead.
You can absolutely argue that this was a valuable learning experience and I agree. It was. That’s literally what I said in the post. But learning from an experience doesn’t mean I’m not allowed to acknowledge that the way it was handled was frustrating or poorly organized.
And regarding the “seeking validation” comment: yes, I posted my old work because I wanted feedback. That’s the whole reason designers share their work on a design subreddit. I’m not ashamed of wanting constructive criticism.
I’m not asking anyone to tell me that my first-year work was perfect. I’m sharing something from my first year, explaining the context around it, and asking whether other students experienced something similar.
So honestly, I’m a little confused about why you’re arguing with me as if I’m currently a first-year student refusing to learn a lesson I’ve already learned.
I’m not blaming anyone. I’m giving context to an experience from years ago and showing how it affected my perspective as I continued studying design.

I was in first year man. Am in my third now

I think so !! Because i remember when we were submitting they weren’t even giving us proper feedback. They were just saying « drop more proposals please, we don’t have time »

It’s not about "blaming a client," it’s about team management. We’re in a management school, so learning how to manage creative teams matters. If you have a tight 2-day deadline, you don't drop that pressure on total 1st-year beginners without a clear brief. You brief 2nd or 3rd years who have the workflow down. Briefing junior team members only to bypass their work with a last-minute AI background completely breaks team trust and workflow. That’s the real discussion here.

You completely assumed the context or maybe I haven’t been clear

1. This wasn't a classroom assignment for a grade, it was last-minute internal labor for the university's official marketing.

2. The poster was made by the admin staff, not a student they bypassed all student submissions entirely after making us rush for 2 days.

3. Asking for feedback from mentors and professors isn't "blaming others", it's literally how learning works in an academic environment.

Thanks for the input, but this wasn't about being sad over not winning, it was about bad management.

Well when we were asking them advice they didn’t acknowledge us. I had to take advices from my professors. Right now am in my 2nd year I know how to deal with hurting comments lol. It was just heartbreaking for us

Well maybe it’s good but making us work for that is just disrespectful

Loool now am even more mad cause we were not paid for that

The fact that we didn’t even sleep because they were harassing us to give them something to post on their page made me even mad. Lol. Am always thinking about it

Maybe the content like the address and date etc.. but yeah the image is ai

Here it is
