Quote of the week :

All design work seems to have three common traits: there is a message to the work, the tone of that message, and the format that the work takes. Successful design has all three elements working in co-dependence to achieve a whole greater than the sum of the individual parts

Transitioning from Visual to 3D Design – Where Should I Start?

I’m a visual designer with experience in Photoshop and Illustrator, and I’m looking to branch out into 3D design. My first project is a small one—designing a mold prototype for a welding industry application.

I’m planning to use a print-on-demand service for the printing, but I’m unsure where to start when it comes to 3D modeling software and techniques. What are some beginner-friendly tools you’d recommend? Are there any learning resources (courses, tutorials, books) you found particularly helpful when starting out?

Spacing and sizing of elements

Like many aspiring designers, my spacing and layout choices are unrefined. Everything looks quite a bit off and I know it's off and I can see it, but can't yet see what is wrong. I use grids and guidelines and type scales and it still has that amateur off-balance unharmonized look. Most the people I know who mastered this have tacit knowledge they can't explain, so I am here literally begging you to share some resources that will help me have an epiphany. How do I find the right balance?

Looking for Help to Design a Sublimation Soccer Jersey

Hi Everyone,

I'm looking for someone who can help me design a sublimation football jersey using CorelDRAW. I already have a picture of the jersey I want to be designed, but I’m not familiar with CorelDRAW and could really use some assistance.

If anyone is willing to lend me a hand and do it for free, I would greatly appreciate it! Please feel free to DM me if you're interested, and I can share the picture and details with you.

Thanks in advance!

Do people actually make brand guidelines from scratch… even when getting paid a ton???

So, a client’s paying us a ridiculous amount to create their brand guidelines, and now I’m sitting here wondering… am I really supposed to make this entire thing from scratch?

Like, do designers actually handcraft every section, or is everyone secretly using some $10 Canva template and faking it? Because I’ve been manually aligning text boxes in Figma for an hour, and it feels like a joke.

We’ve got their assets, but:

  • Every template we find is either ugly or costs $300. Where are the good ones??
  • And why do I need a whole page explaining why blue “conveys trust”? No one’s reading that.

For what they’re paying, this should be automated. Someone, please share your shortcuts before I lose my mind.

Is there a secret hack to not hate making brand guidelines???

Okay, I’m losing my mind here. Every time I sit down to create brand guidelines, it feels like I’m writing a novel no one will read. Who’s out there actually flipping through every page of this stuff?

I’m a designer, not a corporate lawyer! But seriously, how do you streamline this process without making it feel like a creative black hole? Like:

  • Do I really need 10 pages explaining how to use a logo?
  • What tools are you all using? (Because Google Docs is not cutting it for me.)
  • How do you even start? Do you throw the kitchen sink at it and scale down later, or build piece by piece?

Also, are clients ever like, "Wait, why did you spend 10 hours figuring out the difference between ‘primary red’ and ‘hero red’?"

If you've got tips, templates, or even just a rant about your worst guidelines project, let me know. I need to know I’m not alone in this brand-guidelines spiral. 😂
