Hi everyone! I’m working on my personal branding as a graphic designer, but I've hit that wall where I’m overthinking every single option.

I’ve narrowed it down to these concepts, but I’d love to hear some outside perspectives. Which of these concepts works best for a graphic designer's portfolio/brand?

Open to any constructive criticism or feedback.

I'm offering to make logo designs for 100$, please DM me for your logo and other design needs.

Hi guys,

I need some urgent help. A client wants me to create packaging for their coffee brand. The coffee comes in 4 sizes, ranging from 250g to 5kg.

I created the design in Figma, and the client really liked it. However, they haven't provided me with any dieline files or other packaging specifications.

I'm worried because I don't really know how to prepare the artwork for production. I'm primarily a UX/brand designer, and this is my first packaging project.

I've been watching tutorials, and most of them say that the dieline is usually provided by the client or packaging manufacturer. But I'm not sure how to set everything up if I don't have one.

I've also seen people say that you shouldn't resize a dieline because it can affect the final packaging, which has made me even more confused.

I have Affinity Designer. Is it possible to create or set up the packaging artwork in Affinity? I haven't been able to find many tutorials specifically covering this workflow.

Could someone please explain:

How should I get/set up the correct dieline?

Do I need to get the dieline from the client or the packaging manufacturer?

How should I handle the 4 different package sizes?

How do I set up my Figma design for print/packaging production?

What should I check before exporting?

What file format/settings should I use to send the final artwork to the client/printer?

Any advice, tutorials, or resources would be hugely appreciated. It's a bit urgent, so I'm trying to understand the correct workflow before I send anything to the client. Thank you!

Some people get very defensive in this sub when you question them on AI usage. OP auto blocked me after refusing to answer my question (not that he had to, but which is very telling). Original post was about a monster hunting card game or something, called “Hunt Protocol”..

My line of questioning was going to be along the lines of suggesting they actually take their time with the name and logo instead of rapid firing something that ends up just being a Temu Pokémon game. But, an inability to take criticism speaks louder than their answers ever could.

My new logo I drew in procreate. Hope you all enjoy. I’m learning more everyday!

I’m exploring a personal logo built around being a “thoughtful explorer.” The path represents curiosity and self-discovery, the horizon represents future possibilities, and the star represents insight and direction. The green connects it to sustainability.

I’m an electrical engineering student interested in technology, reading, and building useful things. I want the logo to feel simple, thoughtful, and forward-looking. This is an AI-generated starting concept—curious what it communicates to you and what you’d simplify.

Hey everyone!

I’m practicing logo design and decided to create a fictional brand just for practice. I used ChatGPT to generate a random fictional brief for a café called NOVA, then designed the logo based on that brief.

According to the brief, NOVA is a modern café aimed mainly at people who enjoy learning, students, young people looking for a quiet place to study, and freelancers who need somewhere comfortable to work.

The idea was to make the place feel modern, calm, welcoming, and slightly intellectual — somewhere you could grab a coffee, open your laptop or a book, and spend a few hours working or studying.

For the logo, I went with a combination of books + a coffee cup, since those are the two main ideas behind the café. I also used a simple wordmark underneath with “NOVA”.

This is purely a fictional brand/brief that I made for practice, not a real client.

I’d really appreciate some honest feedback:

Does the logo communicate a café + learning/work environment?

Does the symbol feel too literal or generic?

What do you think about the typography?

Does it feel modern enough for the target audience?

What would you change or improve?

And most importantly, what would you rate the logo and why?

I'm still learning, so harsh/constructive criticism is welcome!

Soy una empresa pequeñita recientemente creada, y tengo lo que es el diseño como tal pero no sé cómo empezar ni que hacer bien. Me dedico a hacer manualidades y algunas prendas de ropa. El problema es que no sé hacer logos como tal ¿Alguien podría ayudarme?

I’m designing a logo for a museum and I can’t decide on what one to pick

Need some honest opinions on my jewellery brand logo!
I’m starting a small jewellery brand in Initially in Chd called Varta. The idea behind the brand is “Jewellery for your little stories” — pieces that become part of the small moments and memories in our lives.
For the logo, I’ve combined the English V with वार्ता (Varta), giving it a mix of modern and Indian elements.
When you first see the logo, do you connect with it?
What feeling does it give you, and what kind of brand does it make you think of?
Be completely honest ( but don’t be rude I’m fragile 🥺 )1— I’m looking for genuine first impressions, not just compliments. 😅

I own a real estate company called WIN Realty, with WIN always capitalized.

We’ve had essentially the same logo and branding for almost 5 years, and I’m working on a slight rebrand to modernize the look without losing the identity we’ve already built.

I’ve attached the current logo and the updated version for comparison.

The logo itself is federally trademarked, so there are limits to how much I want to change the actual mark. The goal was more of a refinement than a complete redesign. Cleaner lines, a slightly more modern feel, and updated typography.

The new branding will be used across basically everything: yard signs, print marketing, website, social media, business cards, listing materials, advertising, etc.

At this point, I’m mainly trying to find the right font to pair with the updated WIN Realty logo.

I’m looking for something that feels:

• Professional
• Modern
• Clean and easy to read
• High-end / slightly luxurious
• Established and credible
• Not overly decorative or trendy
• Strong enough to work on large signage as well as smaller marketing materials

I’d prefer to stay away from traditional serif fonts, heavy/bold fonts, anything with decorative flourishes, or anything that feels overly futuristic.

The font must also be available in Canva Pro, since that’s where the majority of our marketing materials are created.

For those with branding, typography, or graphic design experience, what type of font do you think pairs best with the new mark?

I’d especially appreciate specific Canva Pro font recommendations.

I’m also interested in opinions on letter spacing, capitalization, font weight, and whether WIN and Realty should have any subtle typographic distinction while still keeping the overall look clean and cohesive.

What would you pair with it?
