Anyone got an extra dribbble invite they can send my way? I've been trying to get on there for quite some time but still haven't found anyone to invite me.

Tips on presentation/portfolio layouts for InDesign?
Repped. This really helped with my presentation in class tonight. I have another one Thursday for a group of designers.Tips on presentation/portfolio layouts for InDesign?
- Build out a grid & stick to it. Make sure you have repeating elements in the same spot so the reader/user knows where to look.
- Make sure to use high quality photos - If you don't have em, take em. If you aren't confident in your ability to shoot photos, then mock them up in the specific medium they are supposed to represent (on a monitor, on a phone, on a trifold) just make sure that it doesn't take away from your actual design. There are plenty of .psd templates you could use for this.
- While the final product is important, I find it equally important to show off your process. Initial brainstorms, sketches, variations, rejected work, etc. can all fall under this category.
- Limit the amount of body copy/text - might be good for somebody looking over it solo (even then, they probably won't read 75% of it), but my assumption is you are presenting the work. If it's yours, you should know the projects inside & out and being able to speak on your rational and design decisions.
- Double, Triple, and Quadruple Check your spelling. Yeah, you're a designer, but nothing is worse than having typos, spelling errors, and grammatically incorrect sentences. Audience will be quick to judge "attention to detail" - or lack thereof.
- Have multiple sets of eyes look at it & critique it - cast a wide net and talk to as many people as you can. While some suggestions you can toss pretty quickly, you'll be surprised what good feedback can do for your designs. Feel free to post here, I'll be glad to help & I know others will too.
If this doesn't answer your question specifically, hope somebody can get something out of this.
Dude. Get rid of that "Creative Engineer" junk.
Personally, I hate industry jargon (i.e. Creative Ninja, Creative master, etc.) to make your title sound cooler than what it really is.
If you're a designer, say that you're a designer and be proud of it.

[emoji]128221[/emoji] Yeah that was one thing I was told. I'll work on that this weekend. Semester is over so I'm cranking out projects all summer. Any websites or instagram account3i should look at for inspiration? Sorry for do many questions
you contradicted yourself there buddy. But, i don't really know any sites unfortunately.Good morning fellas,
Was hoping you guys could point me towards a few resources where I can download brush and/or cursive typefaces, preferably for free.
I'm looking to create a few concepts for a modern type-based logo that's reflective of the sneaker/basketball culture for a personal project.
Thanks.
Would anybody be willing to help me come up with a sketch that I could turn into an embroidered custom patch?
I have a basic idea that i sloppy drew out. But I would like so help to turn it into something that could be easily followed to become a patch.
