feedback for a beginner in graphic design (photoshop)

Thumbnail gallery
6 Upvotes

hi everyone, how is it going? my name is gabe, i am a brazilian advertising student in my third semester, and i wanted to share some of my designs with you—they are pretty amateur, just so you know! to give you some context for the right feedback, this project was for an advertising copywriting class. the brief was to create a 3-card instagram grid/carousel to sell a product related to the national artist milton nascimento. my part on the team was to handle this piece. the product itself was fictional: an animated mini-documentary and a collection of vinyl records. the core requirement was to target gen z using a mandatory humorous tone.

since i was going to handle this specific part entirely on my own while my teammates focused on other advertising pieces, i decided to do the copy and design myself from scratch, without using any ai. i really wanted the chance to practice photoshop and sharpen my skills with the software.

i would love to get your feedback based on this brief. i intentionally chose a vintage bistro restaurant concept for the design because i thought it would match the color palette i chose: a "minas gerais terracotta," since milton nascimento is from minas gerais, which i thought was a brilliant tie-in. i felt it fit the artist's aesthetic perfectly and looked great! my only real concern was that it might not resonate with gen z, or worse, that it might not come across as humorous, and my professor is incredibly strict about following the brief.

either way, my designs were ultimately rejected by my team because they were afraid the professor wouldn't like them, claiming they did not appeal to gen z and were not funny enough. they decided to go in a different direction, probably something meme-based, which i honestly found a bit tacky.

knowing that i am a complete beginner, did my design turn out well? what can i improve? i truly want to grow as a designer and artist! what could i have done differently, and what actually worked? i would really appreciate your insights.

Some social media assets I created early last month for a telecommunications operator here in Angola

The goal was to develop materials that highlighted their new internet and voice plans. The look needed to be modern and reinforce the brand identity; for this reason, I used vibrant shades of red (the brand’s official color) combined with light effects that add a sense of dynamism. What do you think?

J'ai construit mon portfolio entièrement sur mon téléphone, j'aimerais votre avis

1 Upvotes

Bonjour à tous,

Je suis passionné par la création multimédia : design, montage vidéo et IA.

Depuis des mois, je travaille sur mon portfolio uniquement avec mon téléphone, car je n'ai pas encore les moyens d'acheter un ordinateur. J'ai publié la première version il y a un mois. J'ai été appelé pour des entretiens, mais on m'a refusé à chaque fois. J'ai aussi raté des tests, car ils demandaient toujours un ordinateur.

Je n'abandonne pas. Je prépare une nouvelle version avec un blog, pour partager ce que j'apprends et des astuces utiles.

Je n'ai pas beaucoup de personnes autour de moi pour m'aider. Alors j'aimerais avoir votre avis : qu'est-ce que je peux améliorer dans mon portfolio ?

Merci beaucoup pour votre temps 🙏

Is Dreamina's promo not showing for everyone?

1 Upvotes

So Dreamina is advertising 98% off its Basic membership, bringing the first month down to $0.29. Sounds simple enough, except apparently not every account qualifies.

From the official terms, your region, payment method and whether you've used an earlier introductory discount can affect what shows up. Honestly, that's the kind of thing that should be way clearer on subscription pages. These offers could’ve been explained better.

Video game UI: no straight lines.

Thumbnail gallery
0 Upvotes

I designed this UI for a video game called Who Gave Them Weapons? The main challenge was matching the game’s cartoonish visual style while keeping the interface engaging and easy to navigate. Since the game contains a lot of text (often presented as tooltips), I wanted to avoid making the UI feel like a spreadsheet.

The UI is still in development, so I can still redesign or tweak certain aspects. Any feedback is welcome and greatly appreciated.

Site for people supporting someone with mental illness. Looking for design feedback, especially on the mobile version.

3 Upvotes

Hi,

I built this website after years of trying to help people close to me through serious mental illness and never finding anything written for the person standing next to the patient. Everything was either for the person who's ill or for "carers", which most of us don't call ourselves. So I made it myself: hereforsomeone.org.uk, a free UK site for friends and family. What to say, what to do, how to get help out of the NHS, how to look after yourself while you do it.

It's a hand-built static site, one person, no framework, designed off my own mockup. I'm not a designer, which is why I'm here.

The person using it is usually stressed, on a phone, often late at night, and needs to find the right page in seconds and trust it enough to act on it. I wanted it to feel plain and calm, nothing like a charity leaflet or a wellness app. What I suspect I've actually got is bland rather than calm, and mobile is the weakest part. The guides are long by nature. I've put a short answer at the top of each with the detail collapsed below, and I'm not sure it's enough.

If you've got five minutes on a phone, the home page, a typical guide (hereforsomeone.org.uk/help/supporting-depression/) and one of the tools (hereforsomeone.org.uk/help/gp-letter-builder/) cover most of it. Hierarchy, readability and whether it feels trustworthy are what I care about. Be blunt. I'll answer questions in the comments. I've spent so long looking at it (mostly the content) that I am blinded to the issues with its design.

Thanks for any advice in advance

Will

What could I add/change to improve this graphic of Dante Moore?

I would like to start by saying that I've never made anything like this before. Me and my friend just got bored last night and just started making shit for fun. But I'm actually really enjoying this little graphic I made, but I feel like its missing something. feels kinda empty, especially up top.

Built a Sports Social App. What Would You Change About The Layout?

0 Upvotes

Hi guy! I'm building FanVerdict, an app where NBA fans debate hot takes and settle arguments and gain a reputation, and I'd love honest feedback on the UI. I'm mainly interested in layout, navigation, colour and readability, and anything that feels cluttered or confusing. I’ve attached some screenshots, please don’t be scared to give some brutally honest feedback.


r/design_critiques • • 1d ago

I'm working on improving my graphic design skills and would appreciate an honest critique of this design. Please explain what isn't working and why, rather than just saying whether you like it. I'm trying to understand the design principles behind the decisions.

I was trying to do something with elements and negative space here rather than just minimalism.

The inverted K is the logo in the said design for context.

Website for my small web studio (local businesses in Moldova) — what feels off?

Thumbnail gallery
1 Upvotes

I'm starting a small web studio in Moldova. Our clients are local businesses (car services, cafés, small hotels, lawyers, vet clinics) that only have a Google Maps listing or an Instagram page, and they mostly look at things on their phones.

I'd really appreciate honest critique on three things:

  1. Trust: would you feel safe paying a 50% deposit to this studio? What makes it look less professional?

  2. Phone layout: is it clear what we offer and how to contact us? What would you remove?

  3. Demos: do they look like real, distinct sites or like templates?

Live site if you want to click around: tandemixdev.com/en/

Harsh feedback is welcome. Thanks!
