    help me pick a job title

    This is a weird one. I currently work at an agency with around 20 staff 4 of which, not counting myself are creatives. My position here is design director. I more or less set the title and didn't feel creative director was suitable. I have just been offered a position at a new company. It...

    How could i improve?

    Best way to get better with Photoshop is to just use it. It can do anything you can imagine. The limitation is having the imagination to come up with what you want from it, discovering how to do it is the easy part as all that info can be found with a quick search. Photoshop skills are fine if...

    What to wear to an interview?

    Wear what you would wear to work at that place. If it's a proper grown up agency it's highly unlikely they will wear suits. Even when we attend pitches and meetings with large corporations we don't wear full suits and that goes for our business dev team and project managers as well. Sure, they...

    There's lots of other really basic stuff it can't do as well.

    Graphic designers getting paid like rockstars?

    Sounds good. Threadless has been around for many years and is very popular (although not quite so well known in the UK). It's a model that works although looking at it now I have to say that there is now a lot more chaff on their. It could do with some better QC I think as the t-shirts used to...

    Graphic designers getting paid like rockstars?

    So is it pretty much the same as threadless? I like threadless. I'd be happy to throw some of my time into doing some designs once I know the finer details on the legalities. I doubt any designer ever gets Mick Jagger rich from such a thing but doing something like a t-shirt for something like...

    Logo Feedback Home Furnishing Business

    I like the ampersand joining the 2 A's. It creates a nice stand alone distinctive marque. I can see the comparison to the V&A logo but it is in no way a direct copy, not even the same font and the balance and position of characters is totally different. Comparison verges on saying any logo...

    APT Gym Logo Design

    I feel the 'P' is a bit lost. Looking at the thumbnail or doing the usual lean back, turn my head a bit and half shut my eyes (we all do it) it just looks like A T. Maybe reverse the P or perhaps it just needs a bit more work on that middle area as a lot of people may not recognise the kettle...

    New stock site, free image to first five responses

    Bookmarked your site. I do a lot of work for animal charities such as Woodgreen and SSPCA so some of the animal shots will be ideal for future projects. I too am a bit fed up with istock. About 5 years ago it was good but it needs a good clean out. There's a real hole in the market for non...

    Survey as part of dissertation

    If you don't want something over analysed then it's probably best not to ask a designer. We tend to do it by nature. Completed your survey as best i could. Worth noting that the default answer of "boobies" works quite well as a reply for most of the questions. Good luck with the dissertation.
