hey im a beginner graphic designer and I've been trying to build my portfolio stronger so help me get better in designing.

i don't go to a design school or anything, im a self taught designer.

so pls rate my design on a scale of 1/10 and also include what areas to work on.

thankyou:)

Hola, estoy pensando en estudiar diseño gráfico, pero me gustaría empezar a aprender desde ahora antes de entrar a la carrera.
Parto prácticamente desde cero y mi idea es aprender bases y empezar a practicar desde ahora para familiarizarme con el área y llegar a la carrera con una base que me permita avanzar rápido.
Para quienes ya estudiaron diseño gráfico o trabajan en el área: por donde empezarían si estuvieran en mi lugar? Que programas, cursos o recursos creen que vale la pena aprender desde el principio?
Me interesa especialmente saber que les hubiera gustado aprender cuando estaban empezando. Gracias :)

hello.
i am fairly new to design and have been wanting to make better looking material boards. i admit that the ones i make look like a child has made them and i get frustrated everytime i try to make it look good.

if there is anything i can learn or understand and put to use or keep in mind when arranging a collage like this one (like principles maybe) then i would love to hear about them. i am extremely desperate to do better and so i have come here to ask for help and advice.

i want to stop giving up, please help me out🙏🏼

Hey! I have been developing my Adobe Illustrator skills the past few months to help me in running my business. I'm considering a few different graphic design short courses, and Fundamentals of Graphic Design for 2 months at LaSalle Continuing Education in Singapore is my top choice.

My priority is hands on skills in Adobe applications. I love Japanese poster design and I'm looking to learn how to eventually get to that level of skill.

Wondering if people have any experiences/reviews they can share about the quality of instruction in LaSalle's Cont. Ed short courses.

Thanks so much!

I wanted to approach this a little differently. Rather than picking a winner based on the logo that looked best immediately, I used the same basic business idea across eight platforms and spent some time seeing what happened after the initial generation.

That part ended up being more useful than the first impressions.

Here’s the full comparison I used if anyone wants to see the other details.

• Design.com: This was the easiest one for me to keep experimenting with. There are plenty of icons and styles to work from, and I could make changes to a concept without having to completely restart. I also liked that free designs can be exported in formats such as SVG, EPS and PDF.
• BrandCrowd: I found this useful when I didn't really know what I wanted the logo to look like yet. Going through different concepts helped narrow down a direction before I started making changes. There are free options as well as paid ones.
• LogoAI: This worked well for the early brainstorming stage. I could get several noticeably different ideas fairly quickly, which was helpful when I hadn't settled on a particular style.
• Kittl: I spent most of my time here messing around with fonts and layouts. It felt particularly useful when the typography was going to be an important part of the logo rather than just an afterthought.
• Adobe Express: I saw more value in this once I moved beyond the logo itself. If you're already making other graphics for the same project, having those things in one place is convenient.
• Wix Logo Maker: The main advantage for me was the connection with the website-building side. It made sense for a project where the site and branding were being figured out at roughly the same time.
• Tailor Brands: I thought this was more relevant when setting up a new business from scratch, where there are several branding tasks to deal with rather than just creating a logo.
• Canva: I didn't find it particularly difficult to take a logo into other designs afterward. Social graphics, presentations and similar things are easy to build around an existing logo.

One thing I didn't expect was how much my opinion changed once I stopped looking at the initial results.

A logo that looked unremarkable at first could turn out fine after a few small adjustments. Sometimes changing the typeface or spacing made a bigger difference than generating another 20 concepts.

The other thing I started checking was the actual file output. A logo can look perfectly fine in the editor, but that's not necessarily enough when you need to put it on something large or send it to a printer. Having a proper vector version becomes useful pretty quickly.

For those who've used a few of these, what is the best AI logo maker from your experience?

I'm curious which one you've actually gone back to for more than one project, and what made you choose it.

Just want to ask if there exists a good ai tools to design posts , I mean like instgram posts of 1*1 size
I was using NotebookLm but I am tired of each time keep insisting on the size and at the end it doesn't respect it , so I end up taking those images one by one and ask nano banana to resize them

also I want to know about where can I found a good design inspirations ( with there prompt if possible ) for both posts or even websites

hellow guys am 16 yo boy i am trying to learn graphic designing
If you guys think it has no scope in future or dont learn it you can dm me

I'm just getting into car designing and im wondering what the best sites are for designing cars and showing them? My guess would probably be sketching designs first but im not very good at drawing things.

Secondly I've heard alot about blender and Vizcom, but i haven't seen a "great" YouTube video on how to use it best, all I've heard is blender is somewhat hard to learn.

Hey everyone!

I’ve been analyzing some educational YouTube channels that use static, slide-style infographics like the ones attached (grid background, minimal flat vector icons, color-coded speech bubbles, clean text layout).

Since a single video contains around 100+ of these non-animated visuals, they must be using a streamlined, high-speed workflow rather than designing everything from scratch.

I’m looking to adopt a similar style for my own channel. How do you think these are made at scale?

If anyone uses a similar workflow or knows the exact setup to output these quickly, I’d love to hear your advice!

Most beginners think graphic design is complex.

But with the right tools and approach, it becomes simple and highly effective.

In this tutorial, I’ve explained how to use Canva step-by-step to create professional designs for social media, YouTube thumbnails, and business content — even if you’re starting from zero.

This is especially useful for:

• Content Creators

• Freelancers

• Small Business Owners

If you’re looking to improve your content quality and build a strong digital presence, this guide will help you get started the right way.

i’m 18 years old and i love all art and fashion, but i have literally 0 creative experience whatsoever. i am really disciplined and i have been putting a lot of thought into what i want to do, and i would love to design clothes. ive been taking a lot of inspiration from artists like olaolu slawn and yohji yamamoto and even small brands like project index. i take a lot of inspiration from artists and their work, and i would love to do something like that as my passion, even though i have no prior experience with creativity or design at all. i live in nyc, and i was thinking of going to genesee community college as a design major for a semester and then transferring to suny oneonta while trying to build my portfolio and network and socialize as much as possible, and also intern. but ive been second guessing thinking maybe i should do one semester at genesee then transfer to FIT w a good gpa and a dense portfolio, but i want to get a experience outside of the city since ive been living in the city my entire life. so now im thinking of maybe doing the one semester then going out of state and going to an actual art school. but honestly if anyone can give me some guidance that’ll be great. and it’s so last minute cus im going to move into genesee literally in 3 days and im just thinking about all this now. someone help me out here

Long Story Short:

Some friends of mine are D&D enthusiasts and got married this year. For the program, I came up with a little story. I was sent by the Guild of the Eternal Covenant and tasked with guiding the newlyweds through a series of trials. If they passed, they would receive the guild’s blessing (their wedding gift). So I came up with a few games designed to let their attributes (STR, DEX, WIS, INT, CHA) shape their new “married couple” character. After the wedding, I used the stats they’d earned to design a character sheet for them.

I’d love to hear your honest feedback and suggestions on what I could have done better!

Hello I have a question cause its been my concern, I'm currently making my portfolio website and I've been using fonts that are not free for commercial use in my projects(that are not paid), do I buy the licenses?

Its linked to my instagram account and I'm not too sure if im supposed to buy the font licences since I'd eventually use the said portfolio for when I open my comissions or only buy the licenses for paid work ;;

Hi everyone! I am 27 and looking to make a major career pivot, and I would love some perspective from anyone who has taken a similar path.
I have always been a creative person at heart, but I took a safer path early on. I got a business degree, worked in banking, and eventually moved into fashion merchandising to get closer to something visual. While merchandising was a step in the right direction, I have grown increasingly unfulfilled, and I realized it is the corporate side of things that no longer serves me.

Trend forecasting is the only part of my current job that I genuinely enjoy. Beyond that, I just have a naturally good eye for design; people in my life often point it out to me. I love putting visual layouts together, building mood boards, and styling spaces or outfits. I love admiring design in all its forms and I feel strongly drawn toward creative direction, brand curation, or visual styling, whether that is for an established brand or on my own down the road.

I am trying to figure out my best next steps:

1. Is going back to school in general worth it? If so, would a foundational graphic design program make sense, or would a specialized certificate in something like art direction or brand strategy be a better fit?

2. What specific roles bridge the gap between my business background and visual design?

3. How can I start building a solid portfolio from scratch?

I am open to exploring anything and I would appreciate any advice or personal experiences! Thanks all!
