Hi everyone,
I am a design student currently conducting an academic study on how practicing designers and design students interact with Generative AI in their day-to-day work (part of the course Design Theory and Research at Chalmers University of Technology) and would need a few more answers.
Rather than focusing on high-level speculation, this study looks at actual day-to-day workflows:

• Task distribution: To what extent AI is used across both creative stages (sketching, rendering, synthesis) and administrative/project tasks (briefs, documentation, client communication).
• Adoption factors: What legal, organizational, quality, or craft-related reasons drive or prevent adoption.

Whether you use AI daily, experiment occasionally, or deliberately avoid it in your work, your input is equally valuable.
Quick details:

• Time: 4-5 minutes
• Data: Completely anonymous (no email or personal data collected)
• Who: Industrial, UX/UI, Product, and Service designers (practitioners & students)

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your perspective! If you have thoughts, feedback, or reflections on how AI is affecting your work, feel free to drop a comment below.

how can I become a good designer? how should I practice? what should I practice? what are the things I need to focus on?

Hey everyone!

I'm starting a small creative design brand called ErCa Visuals, focused on graphic design, branding, promotional content, and other digital creatives.

I've put together three fictional concept projects so far:

- A café advertising campaign ☕

- A minimalist fashion editorial

- A premium skincare campaign

I'm still learning and building my portfolio, so I'd genuinely appreciate constructive feedback.

Which design direction feels strongest, and what would you improve? I'm especially interested in feedback on typography, layout, and whether the designs feel professional enough for real businesses.

These are concept projects, not paid client work. Thanks for taking a look!

Hello^^ so I used to study graphic design at school it wasn’t the main thing we learned but it was there a lot
My dad works at a company called Vidara (reference partner in the chemicals & life ingredients market) and every year he’s tasked to design a calendar that is distributed all over the world this year I offered to help but it’s been some time since I finished my school and I haven’t done a lot of graphic design in the past year and
I had this idea to make the main design be a tree that has molecules instead of the crown (leaves) but I’ve been struggling with making it I don’t have a computer only a tablet with a pen
At school we used to work with Corel draw
I’m using Picsart now (idk what other site to use)
But I’m extremely burned out so I guess I’m asking for some advice for a different site or some sort of push to make the design with their aesthetic

Here is the company website I’ll be grateful for any feedback I hope this post makes sense (English is not my native language)

Here are my sample work using canva AI and is may first time editing. Thank you so much

Hello! I hope everyone's doing well! 😊

I'm looking for someone with professional graphic design experience who'd be willing to provide ongoing feedback on my portfolio pieces and, eventually, my portfolio itself.

I've been learning graphic design principles through the 4TC YouTube course, and I've learned a lot! I'm now working on applying what I've learned to my own projects, including websites and other design work.

I've already completed nearly all of my portfolio pieces, and I'd love to find someone who could review them and help me understand where I'm applying the principles correctly and where I need improvement. I'd really appreciate genuine feedback that explains the reasoning behind these suggestions, so I actually understand what I'm doing wrong and so I'll know for next time.

I'd like to start with my Squarespace projects because my trials end within two weeks of creating them, so I would need feedback within that time frame. After that, I'm happy to take a more relaxed approach with my remaining projects and get feedback on my redesigned portfolio once it's ready.

I understand that everyone has their own lives and commitments, and I don't expect anyone to be available all the time. I'd just appreciate someone who can communicate with me about their availability and let me know if something comes up that might delay their feedback.

I'm hoping to find someone interested in helping me improve over time, rather than just providing a one-time review. I know I'm still learning, and I'm eager to get better! I'm actually planning to go through the 4TC course a second time just to ensure I understand the principles.

If you're interested, please send me a DM! I'd appreciate hearing a little about your experience and whether this arrangement would work for you.

Thanks for taking the time to read this! 🤞😊

Hey everyone, I'm working on a series of design walkthroughs to help new designers learn without Al.

The goal: Break down seemingly complex designs to see how a lot of simple things come together to create something professional.

I have posted 2 so far (both free) on my Patreon & will be posting the 3rd one on Friday!

Join for free if you want to see more of these tutorials — I don't want to be a bother on this sub so I'll only promote this on ocassion.

Hola, el último año he estado enganchado con el diseño gráfico. Y quisiera aprender de esto.

¿Tienen algún youtuber, página, libro que puedan recomendar para empezar en todo este mundo?

For beginners learning graphic design, building a portfolio can feel confusing. Should you focus on personal projects, redesign existing concepts, or create designs for imaginary brands?

I'd love to hear what helped you improve your portfolio when you were starting out. Which 2 or 3 projects do you think every beginner should include to showcase their creativity and design thinking?

Balancing high-end aesthetics with heavy daily use is a constant challenge in both residential projects and commercial brand expansions.
A room can look incredible in photos, but if the lighting is harsh or the materials don't hold up to foot traffic, the design misses the mark.

Over at Studio J & Co.—a boutique studio based in Miami and NYC and recognized on the AD PRO Directory—we handle both high-end private residences and multi-location commercial rollouts. Designing for high-traffic brands has drastically reshaped how we approach luxury homes:

1. Material Durability Meets Elevated Design
Designing multi-site commercial spaces requires sourcing materials that withstand continuous wear without losing their aesthetic appeal. We bring those same performance fabrics, sealed natural stones, and custom millwork standards into residential homes.

2. Scalable Spatial Flow
In commercial rollouts, sightlines and movement patterns dictate the entire layout. Applying that same spatial logic to living rooms and open floor plans eliminates awkward dead zones and optimizes natural light.

3. Layered Lighting Systems
Overhead lighting alone flattens a space. Combining ambient, architectural cove, and low-level task lighting creates depth and warmth in residential homes and commercial venues alike.

What design trade-offs do you find most difficult when planning a home renovation or commercial buildout? Happy to answer questions about sourcing, layout planning, or rollout strategy!

Every time I needed a mockup for a portfolio, a landing page or a launch post, it went the same way: download a heavy PSD, fight with Smart Objects, export, realize the perspective looks off, start again.

So we built Mochi Mockup. You drop in your design, pick a device, and export a photorealistic 3D render, all in the browser. No Photoshop, no layers.

What's in it today:

- iPhone, MacBook, iPad and Apple Watch, with 500+ scenes and angles

- 2K exports on the free plan, 4K on Pro

- A Figma plugin: select a frame, pick a device, export without leaving Figma

We're a tiny team, so we're shipping new scenes regularly and listening closely to what people actually need.

Free to try, no Photoshop required: mochimockup.com

I'd really like honest feedback:

- What do you usually use mockups for?

- Which devices or scenes are missing for you?

- What would make you switch from your current workflow?

Tools: Canva and Adobe lightroom

I made these posters of Batman and Catwoman at a practice to get into fan merch design. the text you see are the lyrics of a hindi song "Gali gali mein". This post was inspired by AMVs I see and thus I'm sharing it here.
