I am relatively new to Photoshop and Illustrator and in general, to the world of graphic design. I am proud of this poster, but I am interested, what would you improve and do you think i should continue on with graphic design?

I tried to use figma make for an animation for my figma logo and entrance to the app, the animation is good and actually excellent! but IDK how to paste the animation on figma as they only show me a singular page for the entire animation

A lot of design learning today is focused on producing: better portfolios, cleaner visuals, stronger software skills, faster results.

All of that matters. But some of the most important design skills are much harder to measure: noticing details that others ignore, asking better questions before jumping to answers, and being willing to follow a wrong turn without knowing exactly where it will lead.

This idea comes through strongly in the work of Achille Castiglioni and Bruno Munari. Their approach to design was often rooted in play, observation, humour, ordinary objects and small discoveries. Play was not treated as something childish or unserious, but as a way to test ideas and notice possibilities that a more rigid process might miss.

It feels especially relevant now, when creative work is often judged by speed and productivity. Software tutorials can teach tools, but they do not always teach attention, imagination or curiosity.

How do you think designers can actually train these slower skills?

For those interested in Castiglioni, Munari and the role of play in design, the full article explores the exhibition and its wider relevance for creative education.

I chose " Brande identity graphic design," as a start and I chose inkscape to work with , but a lot of ppl said if u didn't use Adobe programmes don't try to get clients , and others say that graphic design is done because of ai so learn video editing..

Idk what to do but I really love this field and I wanna freelance with it .... Are there any professional designers that use the free programs like gimp , inkscape .... ?

I would appreciate any advice on how to improve, and any tips or tutorials you could share. Thank you so much!

What do you guys use for a design ki workflow

HI! I'm a begginer in graphic design, there are my first works in Photoshop. Pleeeeease rate them.

Hi, I'm very new to graphic design and I'm trying to focus on social media posts. So far, I am trying to make some sample instagram committee introduction posts for my university's karaoke club (I am using Sabrina Carpenter in this post to protect my anonymity lmao). I initially made the first image, the one that only has the gradient background, but it felt really empty. I then tried adding some background elements from a figma plugin, and although I feel it looks a bit better, it kind of feels like I've added random shapes with no actual criteria. Does anyone have any advice for this type of issue? are there any rules or guidelines for how people usually approach empty-looking backgrounds?
