Perfection.

Europoor here, where can I find high resolution .tiff images to download and print some posters for home? Looking for some pic related posters, ukiyo-e, etc. Thanks.
>>
>>459268
you could recreate these from scratch in few minutes in any vector program with infinite resolution
>>
>>459268
what possesses you to think anyone who makes posters worth having would just give them out for free for other people to print?

I made these book covers for two hypothetical academic books. It's both the front cover and the back cover. Any criticism will be helpful. You can also post book covers that you find inspiring.
>>
>>459249
Your project remembers me a lot of the Sternberg Press books.
It is good but:

– A book cover should be backcover - spine (if is has one) - cover. Never show it as cover - backcover ever again;

– Use references of Sternberg Press as I think it will inspire you to resolve legibility problems in the title of the yellow one;

– The text in the back cover of the yellow one seems pretty big for something that will be printed, and the one on the blueone seems small. Did you print-test those covers?

–There is a LOT of holes in the justified text. Use pic related configuration on the justification menu and it will solve it. Use it always as a basics, but adapt when needed. Also, if you hyphenate, please edit the hyphenation menu too, as the default is pretty horrid. It both works for InDesign or Illustrator.

That said, i think overall it does look good. Also it has this "series" feel to it, that is good as they are from the same author. Good job overall, just a few fixes.
>>
>>459267
Thanks for your comment! It helps me a lot to improve. I'll take a look at the references you mentioned and fix the issues as well!

Sorry, i forgot the pic I referenced. This is the base config so the justified text does not have holes.

If you are using InDesign you can also open the H&J violations checkbox in preferences to review. The text with problems will be highlighted yellow, the stronger the yellow, the worse the holes in the text will make the reading. It is best to check it on large blocks of texts (as in a book page full of text) and you should just turn it on as a review option, and do not work with in on.

ugh bro these dont even make any sense and that fucking full text box justification is brutal.

tried my hand at designing a book cover, how did i do? based on a real novel but i changed the names
>>
The font is nice in a nautical world kinda sense.

The solar system doesn't easily fit with the space ship too cattoony and soft everything green. The colors are fine.
>>
>>459246
The solar system needs to recede more into the background, and the ship should be opaque in front.
>>
theres no real organization or proportion and shit is too close to th eedge
>>
>>459246
– The bleed on the title is shit. Don't bleed it.

–thomas goodwin - mark kingstown. Dude, capitalize those names.

–I do like the solar system a lot.

– The spaceship is low res and I can see it without even needing to zoom.
–The spaceship is also too dark overall with some spots that are too shiny.
–I do like the design/shape of the spaceship, so if you need to change for another one, try to keep it as similar as possible.

Great idea and overall cover, just a few fixes to be finished.

I have a yard sale coming up and I am planning to put posters up everywhere to advertise it. What are some things I could do to make a genuinely interesting poster design for a yard sale? I know this is probably a silly thing to ask for advice on, but yard sale posters are always so boring and simple. I genuinely think having a poster that is fun/interesting to look at could make a difference.

>never posted his final design
wtf...

>>458921
do the items in a grid-like fashion, or at least forming a shape but all equidistant from one another (I enjoy the blocking, this is just for experimentation) but the graphics could more photorealistic but very high constrast. And maybe use a simpler font, I personally use serif for everything but in this case sans-serif would be preferable

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!

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 actually like the Avanti design. Simple, but eyecatching. But the Fuji HQ design with the mosaic of color is also prime aesthetic.

I heard that calling companies and annoying them with your stuff is what you have to do to get a foot in this industry

I don't get it personally. Why don't people take E-Mails seriously, they just ignore it. Why is making a call so important, what makes it so different?

At first glance, both monograms look like they are missing something, like there is something above them that is blocking the vision. At second glance, the first one look like a handshake, and the bottom one looks like there is one guy about to give a hug and the other one is like "oh no bro, just a handshake, please, wtf".

The "Career Pep" does not have ANYTHING that connects is to the logo beyond the proximity and have no distinct feature on itself, it is just written and that is it, you can have one of those problems, but not both.

Take a step back, get your research, get what you were trying to convey, get your first drafts, and review it. You took a leap in the process instead of letting the research and studies guide you.

thanks for the genuine feedback, appreciate that. Yeah they're supposed to be handshakes, and the 2nd one is supposed to be cheering because he "got the job," but I can see why it sucks I just couldn't figure out why lol

The site it's for is supposed to build user's confidence and interview skills in preparation for job interviews. But I think it was way too abstract and just made no sense. I feel like something more in this direction would work better.

I am the >>459216 anon. This new versions are really better, good job, I feel it is going to the right direction.

The only problem I see is this connection that I don't like and I do feel that in the printed materials and reductions may be a pain in the ass.

Fix that and then show to your peers/contractors/people in the know to get feedback on it. Keep the good work.
>>
>>459217
Different anon here...

I never would have gotten any sense of that even though it is easily read/ remembered as Career Prep...which it is in a sense, but that's not the name. It's supposed to be unmistakable, like a cattle brand.
"Pep" isn't a very commonly used word outside of advertising and school rallies but people still know that it means high energy and spirits and liveliness or to add those qualities by "pepping up" some one or thing. Because of all that the typeface you use can easily point in a different direction and kill any sense of Pep by being too staid and conservative and sober. It doesn't have to be zany high school Pep rally poster lettering but it's a casual term and any clash between that term and more serious business standards has to be sorted out to get the idea across...who is the audience and what will attract them?

In keeping with the "pep" thing, handshakes are out, fist thrusts are better but too loaded a symbol...but a high five is both casual and instantly recognizable as something indicating circumstances of intense Pep.
Picrel is a generic symbol, you could mirror your figure and develop your own version.
But FWIW all of those symbols like handshakes and hugs and high fives are some of the most oversaturated logo ideas in personal services- almost cliche- so don't box yourself in.
Just emphasizing the two words so that the Pep part suggests a pepping up occurring- maybe with color or two typefaces or bolding or italicizing or AOTA.
