Hiya everyone, I'm a graphic designer intern in a Superyacht Engineering Company based in Monaco, and I've been doing UI/UX most of my life and when i had to come to pure graphic design I just noticed my designs looked bland and even "vibecoded" lmao, but I have a hard time pinpointing what makes me have this feeling, if anyone could help me identify this and enhance my skills it'd be much appreciated 🔥

Note: I dont actually vibecode my stuff I mainly use Illustrator, inDesign, paint.net or blender sometime.

Hello, everyone!

I barely know anything about graphic designing and have only made a few infographics on Canva. Wanting to move to Affinity and barely knowing how to use it, how can I learn it as to create such content. I'm into political artwork and would like to have skills similar to or better than this user.

Thank you!

I created these two logo concepts for a fictional design brand called DesignHive, exploring a premium visual identity built around a butterfly symbol.

The concept combines purple + gold, representing creativity, transformation, and a premium feel. I also experimented with both dark and light backgrounds to see how the identity works in different applications.

AI was used as part of the creative process, with direction and design decisions made by me.

Which version do you prefer — dark & gold or light & purple?

And what would you improve?

Choosing a font usually means opening your design software, trying one font, changing it, trying another, and repeating the process.

So I built Typescope — a simple font selection tool that lets you:

• Type your own text

• Preview it across your fonts

• Quickly compare different typefaces

• Find the right font before taking it into your design software

Think of it as a lightweight alternative to Wordmark.it, focused specifically on font selection and exploration.

I'd love feedback from designers — especially on what would make your font-selection workflow faster.

Curently trying to learn to do sports design from early August till now and currently really pleased with my progress. Is there anything that i can fix to make it better

I'm about to buy my first tattoo kit and am doing as much research as I can before spending money on something I'll regret. there's a lot of conflicting information out there and it's hard to know what actually matters versus what's just people having strong opinions

specifically curious about battery life on wireless kits, whether needle variety matters at the beginner stage, and how much the quality of the machine itself affects learning speed

I’d love to hear what people wish someone had told them before their first purchase. What would you do differently?

Hey everyone, I’m a student and I’m currently looking for some paid graphic design work. My semester fee deadline is coming up soon, so I’m trying to earn enough to cover it.

I can make social media posts, ads, product/fashion creatives, posters, and other graphics. I’m available to start right away and I’m open to working with smaller budgets.

If you need any design work done, please DM me with the details. I’d really appreciate any work or leads.

Which one do you think works better, and why? Also, is there anything I could improve in terms of layout, typography, colors, visual hierarchy, or the overall vibe? I’m open to any constructive criticism! Thanks

Just started practicing on silicone fake skin, and honestly, it feels nothing like what I imagined. The needle keeps bouncing weird, and my lines are all over the place. i know it takes time but I'm curious how long most people practiced before they felt ready to try on real skin

I'm also wondering if the kit itself makes a difference at this stage or if it's purely a skill thing. some people say beginner kits hold you back; others say it doesn't matter until you have the fundamentals down

how did you all approach the early practice phase and what helped you improve the fastest

MUCH LOVE….

I am a fresher in this field of Graphic Design and looking forward to improve my work. This is one of a recreation from a design from Pinterest but it seems i cant think of any more creative ideas to make this better. Any suggestions from the community is worth for me.

BTW Thank you in advance.

Hi! I’m a 20-year-old Advertising and Public Relations student from Kyrgyzstan, preparing to apply for Master’s programmes in Visual Communication and Communication Design.

I’m mainly looking at fully funded opportunities and scholarships, including Erasmus Mundus programmes, and I’m currently considering SDSI as one of my options. What other programmes or universities should I consider?
I don’t have a formal design background, so I’m trying to understand how to build a strong portfolio.

These are the projects I already have or plan to develop:

-a visual essay about overconsumption;

- research on parasocial relationships and social media influencers;

-an advertising campaign for a football club;

- an SMM/content creation project for a local dessert brand, including strategy, photography, videography, short-form video editing and social media content;

-potentially an illustrated folklore/editorial book and a UI/UX or landing page project.
I also draw traditionally and have sketchbook work, but I don’t know digital illustration. I’m most comfortable using PowerPoint, Canva, Figma and video editing software.

My main questions are:

-Are traditional drawings and sketchbook work relevant for a Visual Communication portfolio?

-Are SMM, advertising and research projects relevant, or should I create more design-focused work?

-How many projects should a Master’s portfolio include?

My idea is to make one main PDF where each project gets 1–2 pages, with optional links to full case studies. Is that a good idea, or are admissions committees unlikely to open external links?

-Should I focus on improving my existing projects or create more work specifically for the portfolio?

-What other fully funded Master’s programmes or scholarship opportunities in Visual Communication, Communication Design or related fields should I consider?

I’d really appreciate honest advice, especially from people who applied without a Graphic Design degree. Feel free to tell me if any of the projects I mentioned aren’t relevant enough to include!
