Hello everyone!

I am currently looking for jobs in Europe that would sponsor my work visa. I have been applying on Linkedin and sending emails but couldn’t even land an interview. Most of the companies are looking for people who are already based in their location.

I am open to remote jobs as well.

Does anyone have any recommendations or know where should I be looking for these opportunities?

Thanks!

Recently, Apple published a paper about expressive movement for non-humanoid robots, which I found pretty cool. As a robotics student, I decided to try designing something following the general guidelines outlined in the paper.

However, after making my first prototype, I've realized I'm not exactly great at design. Right now, it looks a bit like a shoebox. The main feature I need to keep is the screen rotation capability. That's why my initial idea (a retro rally car) didn't really work out.

I'm obviously not asking for a complete design here, but if you have any general suggestions or ideas for a more appealing shape or form factor that could retain the rotating screen, please let me know. I'd really appreciate any input!

I had a 1 hour design challenge as part of interview process. There were 4 other designers from the company. They gave me the design challenge, I read through it, and agreed on a goal and deliverable with them. However, when I asked them to clarify any information, they weren’t prepared with answers and twice answered with “oh, that’s just what it is.” I did the challenge but it wasn’t engaging or collaborative. I talked through the whole thing, and it was like talking to crickets. Anyone else experience anything like this?

How can i make a video for a Rotating Can like this? It is for a beverage brand.

I have Envato. I could not find anything

As the title suggests, is this a bit tone deaf?

Considering the way the industry is going with regards to AI and the "Race to the bottom", I think it's a bit of a dickish statement, I've noticed it recently a lot with this particular newsletter, instead of solid advice it's pushing this "Millionaire mindset" and non stop "get this course, it will launch your business to 7 figures" type of shit.

I know it's good to push through the creative block and impostor syndrome, having a strong mindset, especially if you're a self employed designer but this type of rhetoric is tone deaf in what's already a highly competitive field.

What are your thoughts? This is in no way hate towards the designer in question, just wanted to see what other people's opinions was.

Hey guys, I'm a designer in Brazil

I'd like to know what you like to create the most, what design style you like the most, or what area you work in.

Tell me here, let's chat

Thanks

Would anyone know how this was made? Thanks https://sustainability.world.rugby/2024/17-1

What pricing in your experience do clients prefer hourly or flat rate? From my perspective flat rates eliminate a lot arguing between customer and seller. You wont have to deal with customers who think you took too long and dont want to pay for x amount of hours

So I got a call about doing remote work for a graphic design business. He said I could expect anywhere from 20 to 40 hours a week which is perfect for me. He sent me a job and then told me that I would be receiving the independent contract soon. I worked for about 2 weeks completed three or four projects and then one day he completely stopped emailing me back. The last time he emailed me was on March 23rd. He sent me a project I completed it and sent it back and he paid me immediately. He never responded to the project so I assumed that I did good there was no errors. The way he made the job sound, I was expected to work for them for a while I have no idea why he has not sent me anything else or answered any of my emails. But I'm a nervous person and I'm afraid to call, if I call what do I even say. Has this happened to anyone else, is this normal in the graphic design business world?

This is the key visual for the 29th International Poster Biennale in Warsaw. Really exciting pattern, does anyone know what professional terms for that (Moiré pattern? Camo? Zebra stripes?)???

Any tutorials(Photoshop, Illustrator, TouchDesigner, C4D, Javascript or so on) to teach me how to achieve this effect ???

Hey, I recently asked a question here about this design and a kind user told me it was probably made with an old photocopier (given this is the album cover of an 1986 album, linked here).

Now the follow-up, more interesting question is: how to create a similar look using a photocopier? I have one at home and I would love to experiment with it.

To open up the question, does anyone know any interesting photocopying techniques or know where I can learn some?

Any information is much appreciated!

Hey! I’m a designer working on a new AI research app – it helps students, researchers, and scientists summarize academic papers, get AI writing assistance, and stay focused during the research process.

Right now, I’m in the early stages of building the MVP and want to keep things super lean and useful. If you’re someone who reads or writes a lot of academic content (or builds AI tools), I’d love to hear: • What annoys you the most about researching or writing papers today? • If you’ve tried tools like ChatGPT, perplexity , notebookLM, Scite, or Semantic Scholar – what worked, what didn’t? • Any “I wish an app could just…” thoughts?

You can reply here or DM me directly. I really want to build something that feels like a genuine companion for the messy, confusing research journey.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Everyone,

Hey everyone! I'm working on my MBA thesis about balancing creativity and business in media production, and I’d love to hear from designers like you!

If you're a graphic designer, illustrator, or any kind of creative professional, I’d really appreciate it if you could take a few minutes to fill out my questionnaire. It covers industry challenges, creative fulfillment, and ways to improve working conditions.

Your insights would be super valuable! 😊

Thanks so much for your time! 🙌

My cousin will be an international student next year and was accepted to Pratt, RIT, CCA, SAIC and SVA for product design and UCSC for games and playable media. Which do you think are the best schools? She’s asking me for advice but I don’t know anything about these schools or this major. Based on my research, it seems like Pratt and RIT are pretty good schools and RIT has good opportunities for work experience. What do you think?

She can’t access a lot of websites like Reddit or Google because of the firewall in her country.

Hello everyone,

I recently started a job in a small business by renewing ther "design department" after sometime of hiatus by them; right now it's quite messy but this made me realize the path I want to follow and how I studied my Design career.

The one I studied is less of offering Design as an "assembly line" which is how most job offers are were I live, mostly things for post on social networks and stuff. The way I learned is more of developing projects, using methodologies like design thinking and strategic design. So the way I see it is that Design can be very valuable as consulting and by looking that you can win more even by charging for every correction and detail; right now I've seen that being the designer in the shop they just want to correct everything way to many times.

So, back to the question. How to make Design valuable and be able to earn a living? I still haven't figured out how to sell this idea or maybe I'm not selling in the right places, so any advice is welcome.

I think a good place to go for is medium size businesses since if its to small they will search AI and the cheapest work not worrying for the quality, if its bigger they understand the time and deadlines and the budgets become an investment. Any advice on how to follow or find that path?

Thanks in advance.

Extra: The last post I made was about how to own the designer role, got some really good advice by some very experienced Designers, I'll link it in the comments.
