Guest Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 thanks for the kind words about my pie/donut chart here’s another page from the annual report i’m working on. tell me about the orangey color. I feel like I should tone it down? maybe 80% tint. maybe a different color.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 i'd be more concerned with toning down that blazer scarf combination. heyoooo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emo Revival Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I'd go slightly more muted because it kinda over shadows Michigan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David The Gnome Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Thanks everybody! If it is the first time seeing your work up around the city or in public it'll be awesome. Not that it gets old, but the first time is a trip! Congrats man. It will be the first time. I freaked out hard enough when I saw a good friend of mine's billboards throughout town, haha. The event isn't until next July but it was great to find out today. I've been having a hard time getting motivated lately and I've been pretty down on myself design-wise lately so this was a very welcome boost/kick in the ass.

BuzzersonKillwell Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Personally, I'm fine with the color, I'd just use less of it. I'd probably shrink that whole orange flag device so it competes less with the quote, which would in turn help with the vibrancy issue. Maybe.

brianmorgante Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I'm proud to say that today I just did work for my 400th client under the Flesh and Bone Design moniker. I've been doing this for under 2 years, and learning every step of the way. I still have a long way to go, but I am still completely overwhelmed with the amount of incredible people I've been able to work with up to this point, that have been a part of me discovering a side of me I never knew existed. I'm excited to see what the future holds as I continue to set higher goals for myself. I don't know how much longer I can get away with faking it though, sometimes I wish I had some classroom expertise under my belt, haha. I hope to hit 500 clients by March 2014. Fingers crossed!

Guest Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 i'm guessing this would be as good a place as any to ask. in december, i have an opening at a small shop in northampton. it's the first time i've ever had a cohesive body of work worth showing. because of that, i have no idea what i'm doing. i don't know how to promote this other than flooding my social media with it. i would like flyers to leave around town, give to coworkers, etc. but i can't design a flyer for shit. so yeah, any advice here would be wonderful. also, ^congrats. seems like you've got a lot of momentum on your side.. harness the pma and stop the second guessing with your band's revival.

BuzzersonKillwell Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 hardest to design for: a. banks b. drug companies c. retail d. bands e. all the rest. You mean most difficult clients right? I mean banks are essentially just a multi-culutral stock photo hit it with a catchy slogan set in a modern sans. Well, slab-serif if you wanted to show you are down with the youf.
