WHAT ELSE DO EMPLOYERS WANT??

I can't believe that I spend my whole day, reading your terms, answering your questions with long ass paragraphs (which is redundant since the info is already in my resume). spend hours making a short video presentation, which has to be one take, so about an hour to memorize and get it right. Uploading documents and self identification shit, making a couple of graphics to show my abilities, have to kiss ass and be presentable, all for a job that I don't even want in the first place. I HAVE to work for you because I don't want to Die of hunger!! "Why you want to work for us?" I don't. Nobody does.
I have a decade of experience, wore many hats, making me overqualified for the position, speak three languages and you still won't hire me. "Not good enough" What the fuck.
WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT???
I studied for you, I've wasted my life in 9to5's for you, dedicated all for job security and still not good enough!

Almost no one has some magical skill set that nobody else can do.
All of it, no matter what industry, comes down to social networking and being personable enough people want to work with you.
From there, having all these skills becomes valuable.
Basically employers want to be able to depend on you getting shit done for them, even if it means you're outsourcing your own job to pajeets. They just want someone in their area, they can get in contact with, who can be trusted and held accountable.
>>
>>456960
Design's a fine start to a career.
It can't stop there unless you're some incredibly talented artist though. You'll just get outsourced to pajeets.
But learning design, getting acclimated with producing content on a variety of mediums, is a crucial skill today and going forward.
You're not going to do all that well if you make mediocre logos in illustrator and your skill sets stop there. But if you can bang out a wordpress site, produce and edit videos, manipulate graphics well enough to translate across mediums, whip up and manage an email marketing campaign and basically advise on how best the company should approach all of the above, then you'll be valuable in some capacity at literally any organization.
Not to mention you'll have a huge set of skills to get your own thing off the ground if you someday choose to.

Schools, particularly faculty who don't actually work in the fields they're teaching, condition students to think this way.
There's a constant no-true scottsman gate-keeping mindset around various fields, especially design, in academia. It comes from professors, from other students, from the hack local designers who come in to do presentations and all the students believe this person's some kind of big shot.

In the real world, people want shit to get done. The flyer's not a priority, it's a necessary chore. Making it look professional is important, but it's not going to be displayed in a museum. It's going to be sent to a few thousand people and only opened by 2% of them.

I've only worked at one agency and it was a marketing agency. Rest of my experience has been the shitty small business freelance, or being the in-house graphic (and web dev) person.

At the marketing agency I worked at, everything was heavily siloed. I received assignments. I never saw any steps of the business side of things, how they find clients, how they negotiate with them, contracts, etc.

Non-free, proprietary software incl. non-free SaaS are a long-term liability bound only to the quarterly profit margins of the Software Vendor and Publisher(TM).

You're locked into an iOS/macOS device, a proprietary frontend for Apple Appstore(TM), the Software Vendor and Publisher(TM) pisses in your mouth while you think you're so clever.

And just like that, the program, the black box you relied on does not exist anymore, one iOS update away.

Consoomers get what they deserve.

>The word "free" in our name does not refer to price; it refers to freedom. First, the freedom to copy a program and redistribute it to your neighbors, so that they can use it as well as you. Second, the freedom to change a program, so that you can control it instead of it controlling you; for this, the source code must be made available to you.

If done well I think it's a nice addition to current digital design trends.

What gave me the idea for the thread was the redesign of https://motion.dev/ which I think would look emptier, and worse, without the subtle noise overlay.

>I think would look emptier, and worse, without the subtle noise overlay.

that is the truth, it IS literary empty and bad when a noise texture must be there on top of all the other stylistic clutter to 'save' it a.k.a. how to over-design 2 to 5 paragraphs of text and 3 links.

it also promotes obnoxious ms powerpoint style web animation that impresses no one in 2024. please prioritize accessibility, legibility, ergonomics, low external dependencies and bandwith utilization and instant load times etc instead of trying to make flash sites with javascript, at least for things that people actually (need to) use, i don't need to see choppy 20-53 fps css animations cuz some macbook tard thought if was "dope" and true artistic expression that the numbers scroll like a flip clock or something or replace mouse scrollwheel interaction with something else

here is another responsive, developer oriented website, but made around 1999 with some modest typesetting and gui navigation considerations (limited to the html of that time for better or worse) and it works and does not need wobbly crap on every scroll wheel input to teach u the subject matter with code samples still in 2024 - https://c-faq.com/

Where's the design, though? Where's the brand? Where's GSAP, Three.js, Rive, D3, where's the interactivity? Are you a lazy dev? You will not win any Awwwards without them.

I get the general sentiment, but the no-design maximalism is fucking retarded.

> please prioritize accessibility, legibility, ergonomics, low external dependencies and bandwith utilization

None of these are at odds with good design. And lack of design does not imply any of these things, as shown by your great example that shits on all of these except for maybe bandwidth.

Instead of being a rambling piece shit and trying to prove your point with an example that cares about maybe one of these things, post something actually useful or stfu. Go derail a different thread.

like every important term, this one also changed in meaning during history.
it clearly has a trajectory (momentum), as well as a state (position).

so while we are *obviously* not talking quantum mechanics, Schrödinger's idea of "uncertainty" to a degree still holds in defining this word:
as soon as we start describing its flow, we start missing the momentary *snaps* essence.
as soon as we start describing the most precise of snapshots, we miss its origin, development, and -most importantly- its future.

of course additionally the term should always be understood as describing a whole *category of things* rather than a *unified, simple, monolithic object*.
in other words are we dealing with a sort of heterogeneous hyperobject, BOTH in time AND space. so be broad but vague, or precise but local about it?
the best shot at experiencing what design is, is by experiencing it oneself.

and yet. (again) of course we all know that. because why would we otherwise keep asking this question???
maybe the good designer has to always be interested in philosophizing about it, even if it will never be ultimately answered (probably).

it simply has huge inspiration from miami vice and just the 80s in general, also yeah idk what you're fucking talking about with the "japanese cartoon" thing, in short the 1980s was the best time to be an adult with a chip on your shoulder in an amazing economy, where all companies were over the top and weren't shit quality

Illustrator is making a beeping sound whenever I select a white object.

And it's only for pure white (#ffffff) objects. If I change the value even by a little, it doesn't beep.

stupid question, but does the noise even come from the speakers?
e.g.
lcd monitors can make high pitched noise on specific brightness.
ssds can make high pitched 'piezoelectric' squeak noise when switching power state on boot.

yea it's from the speakers (headset, actually, but yea).
It's weird. I'm about to reformat the entire PC as a last resort because this is really DRIVING ME NUTS.

Did you try to restart the preferences or pressing ESC when the noise appears?

>>458584
try reinstall, upgrade or downgrade
