Boss said it looks too basic, please help me with suggestions to make it look more expensive

I'm finishing school in 3 weeks and I'm trying to get my portfolio finished, but I have a section of t-shirts without any sort of unifying theme. So, I've come up with a 'fashion label' aimed mostly at xennials called Old Skull. I can't decide which of these I like the best. I'm also looking for some overall feedback to improve the design.

I included the large image as well as a thumbnail so you can see the skull easier.

Thanks in advance!

experimental and unusual is what i think i can label myself as an artist, but still I have no knowledge of design and layout (just some basic stuff because i’m supposed to be an sculptor lol)

For people working on iOS apps only — let's see if these problems resonate with you.

As a designer, have you ever wonder or struggle with:

• Designing and building a mobile app for iOS, using native design components?
• Learn more about Apple's Human Interface Guidelines but struggle reading it all or even understanding it?
• Learn how to code user interfaces for iPhone using SwiftUI?
• Do you currently design iOS apps with native components and are always wondering what is possible to do with each component?
• Do you consider that you spend too much time interacting with the development team and feel that you should be more productive?
• Are you tired of designing something in Sketch or Figma and discover different results in the implementation on iPhone?
• Do you struggle into deciding what user interface component (e.g., an action sheet vs. an alert) you should use in a specific section of your app?

If you ever felt that you have any of these issues, then you are not alone. I've felt some of these pains in the past and that is why I decided with a co-worker to take action and create an app for that.

Meet here UI Playground.

With UI Playground, you can:

✅ Spend minutes instead of days simulating designs (pull-down menus, etc) on your context.
✅ Design an entire iOS native Settings and iterate different arrangement of options.
✅ Share videos and code with developers avoiding lengthy chats or Jira comments.
✅ Feel and interact with the real UI component without any development cost.
✅ Experiment all system Keyboards and understand the differences between each other.

And so much more.

I would like to get feedback from the community if they resonate with this problem and if this app actually addresses their pain-points. While we built this app for ourselves, we feel strongly that others may have the same needs. Do comment with your opinions.

Hi!

I recently posted my latest work on Behace, but it didn't gain much popularity. What errors can there be and how can I fix them? https://www.behance.net/gallery/222662497/Enso-Brand-Identity-2025

This is design draft 2.0 (I made an earlier post yesterday) in the latest version of photoshop, and I’m printing it in printer paper.

Which do you prefer ?

I use the latest version of photoshop. I have no experience in InDesign. And I prefer it over Canva.

Which layout works best? I like the large serif type but I can’t tell if that’s fighting with the snail? What do you think???

Hey everyone, I would love some feedback on my portfolio! Would this portfolio represent me well as a graphic designer to a hiring manager?

Also I would love some feed back on my resume as well! Do yall think it would pass an ATS system? And if it could, do you think it is a good representation of what I could bring to a company as a graphic designer?

Thanks in advance!

I’ve been trying to find a way to incorporate this text onto this image anybody have any ideas? (If possible provide an example?

I'm working on creating a riddle game, while I was traveling I played the charades mobile game with some people from the hostel which I absolutely loved (the people were awesome too, that helped a ton :) so last week I came up with the idea of creating something similar but different 😎

Basic idea is you fill in names, 1 player does not participate each round and has to read the riddle out loud. Thinking of adding categories, but this is the basic design I got up with based on looking at a bunch of other games.

Added version 1 and latest version, sorry for your eyes in advance version 1 was well.. Dark! (

Yay or Nay?
Thanks so much :)

Hi everyone, I'm a UI/UX designer based in Canada with a work permit, and I've been working hard to build a portfolio that truly reflects my skills. I've recently updated my portfolio on Behance and I'm looking for some candid feedback from this awesome community.

Here’s my portfolio: https://www.behance.net/niadahmed

I’d love to know:

• What do you think of the overall design and layout?
• Are the case studies detailed enough to showcase my process and problem-solving skills?
• Do you believe my portfolio would make you consider hiring me for a UI/UX role?
• Any specific improvements or suggestions that could help me better communicate my capabilities?

Thanks in advance for your time and insights. Your feedback will be invaluable as I continue to refine my work and pursue new opportunities.

The three buckets will be used to improve the three outputs. I don't know how to represent the buckets and their convergence into the three outputs.

Maybe a spider graph could be cool, but some help or inspiration would be useful.
(The texts are provisional)

Thank you :)

I finally finished all 3 designs to upload to my fiver account. I’m not looking for feedback on whether you personally like the style or not—this is the tone I’m going for (petty, sarcastic, bold on purpose). I’m just looking to improve my graphic design fundamentals.

So if you have tips on things like layout, typography, color balance, visual hierarchy, or how I can elevate my work while keeping the same chaotic energy—I’d love your input. Thanks!🩷

It's a mock ad but it is my first time and I am a graphic design major first year, so any feedback is helpful.

Hey everyone, I’ve been designing some surf-inspired graphics for my brand Outboard Surf Club, and I’d love some honest feedback. Trying to blend classic surf aesthetics with a fresh take—would love to know if it actually hits or if there are areas to improve.

Here’s a link to our web page with every design outboardsurfclub.com Be brutally honest—I want to make these better!

hi everyone! i posted a typography layout last night and made a few changes and need help on how to make this more “interesting”. attached is an email from my professor and i need help with ideas on what i could add, take out or change!! i’m going through a bad burnout right now and feel like everything i make is awful so any help is appreciated.

I also want to start doing graphic design as a side gig so yeah the feedback is appreciated!🩷 my style is to be intentionally petty, dramatic, absurd, sarcastic and just straight up ridiculous. I like catching people off guard and hopefully that makes them actually listen.

Hey Reddit,

We’re a team of three working on NanoReads, an app for fiction readers - short stories, romance, dark romance, and novels designed for quick reads. We started this over a year ago, went through a couple of major shifts, and took lessons from our last app, Nemlys (previous post). That one reached 200k downloads eventually, but the early version struggled—design wasn’t great, and it confused people.

For NanoReads, we have on a co-founder with strong product design experience to help us reset. We built the UX and UI from the ground up. It’s not polished yet, but we’re launching now and have plenty of ideas to improve it. You can find it on the App Store or Google Play:

• App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/romance-stories-nanoreads/id6743482190
• Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.paradoxbuilders.nanoreads&hl=en_GB

We’d appreciate fresh perspectives and critiques to guide us. If you have any input, we’d love to hear it—especially on these:

• UX of the app: is the purpose clear? Does it feel easy to use and navigate?
• UI of the app: how does it look to you? We’re wondering if it feels too light for a fiction app—your take?
• App Store screenshots: what do you think overall, any suggestions to make them better?
• Personal take: would this app work for you? Does it seem useful or appealing?

Any thoughts or ideas you’ve got would really help us figure out our next steps.

Cheers!

Hey everyone! I’m a UX designer ,working on a personal academic project and needed your feedback!

In today’s healthcare ecosystem, fragmented records and inconsistent data hinder both medical treatment and communication between patients, caregivers, and doctors, leading to confusion and compromised care quality.

• Medical records are fragmented, scattered across hospitals, clinics, and personal storage.
• Patients often miss critical details while explaining their history.
• Caregivers and family members struggle to stay updated on a patient’s condition.
• Emergencies can be chaotic when key health information isn’t readily available.
• Coordinating between multiple doctors, clinics, and caregivers is frustrating.

To solve this, my project aims to create a centralized platform which helps patients manage all the medical data with manually updating and categorizing.

1. The app will auto-categorize and update medical records for easy tracking. Scanned documents become searchable digital records, and AI-powered reports summarize lab results, detect trends, and suggest follow-ups for informed decisions. This will

2.A one-page Health Card will be created , which can be shared to doctors providing quick summary, including allergies, chronic conditions, medications, recent vitals, and past treatments. This prevents missing out on information while switching healthcare providers.

1. The app will also enable seamless communication between patients, doctors, caregivers, and family members through multiple communication channels. The patient can create channels including doctors , specialists , caregivers where treatment progress ,documents , prescriptions , follow up schedule would be stored . This helps every stakeholder involved in the treatment get real time updates , reduces the effort of using multiple platforms for communication.

Community health channels for schools and daycare centers will help monitor outbreaks, manage vaccinations, and coordinate emergency responses in shared spaces. Family channels will store medical history and insurance documents for easy access. Doctors can create channels to track patient health cards across multiple clinics, ensuring streamlined monitoring and care.

I’d love to hear feedback—What are your thoughts on these features?
