    A6 flyer design feedback

    I think it's best to be honest since you've asked for help. The Royal mail thing seems a bit disjointed and doesn't really serve a purpose. I think it would be a stronger approach to use the back to convey the costs / details of your service and the front to demonstrate real examples rather than...

    Average Design Salary?

    Hi, I agree with the above comments. How much you are earning simply comes down to how much money you are making your employer, skills do come into it as you'll obviously be earning them more if you are good at what you do but ultimately this is all it comes down to. Most juniors start on...

    After Effects Animators wanted for collaboration.

    @Rawpixel. Thanks for getting in touch, my AE skills actually cover the kind of work in your links but I need someone with skills that stretch far beyond this and I'm looking for someone who already has experience in fun animation for TV advertising, music video's and digital billboards...etc...

    Album artwork...

    The first one has potential, see Keith Tyson as a reference. It'll probably help! :-)

    Here goes...

    I would say you are reading way too much into this. Keep it simple and go for a typographic approach or literal approach, use a banana. The icon approaches you are taking won't be understood by those you haven't explained the concept to. Problem: You can't show the milk aspect of the name...

    After Effects Animators wanted for collaboration.

    Hi everyone, I'm looking for a good After Effects animator to bring my illustrations to life in 2D / 2.5D only. I work as a freelance illustrator and art director and have reached the point where a lot of my clients are asking for digital, interactive and motion pieces which I can only produce...

    Illustration Portfolio Critique Please

    Hi everyone, thanks so much for replies. If anyone else posts anything, it would be great to try and help me identity the strengths / weaknesses so I can move my work forward. I personally feel I need to use a new colour palette which is something I'm working on at the moment as I tend to...

    Illustration Portfolio Critique Please

    Hey Adam, thanks for the advice. I have thought about this but there's 2 really good reasons I'd rather keep them higher file size. a) I mainly target Art Directors who have super fast connections (I've a 20mb connection here and if I empty my cache, delete temp...etc it takes around 2 secs to...

    Illustration Portfolio Critique Please

    Hi, thanks very much, appreciate the comments from both of you. Any constructive criticism would be welcome though to help me move forward. @ClarkeCreative: My illustration's a sideline to my main job as graphic designer and I can build sites yes (Wordpress, HTML, PHP, Joomla, Kentico). I'm...

    Hi Louie, Thanks for the message. I think the most important factor is that you need to have work that people want to buy and that the stores know will sell. Another key aspect is association, you need to get your work seen with the right brands and with the right people to make it desirable...

    Illustration Portfolio Critique Please

    Hi All, I'm looking for some feedback on my illustrations and was hoping to get some honest viewpoints. I don't mind if they're negative, everyone is entitled to their opinion and everything said helps. I'm starting to transfer my art to products and want to gauge a reaction; I already sell...

    Hello! Can I make money doing this?

    Look at the work of Duster132, you'll find yourself learning more by doing this than looking anywhere else. The style you have is not commercially relevant in terms of obtaining paid jobs from corporate businesses and it won't be useful for public facing projects (e.g advertising) as it's not...

    What to do with an illustrator?

    It's a tough decision here, especially when there's £10K involved you have to look at the potential for earning and surviving in the future. The illlustration industry is cut-throat, probably more so than the beauty industry and its often the case that illustrators also have some kind of second...
