A client was referred to me for some product graphic work due to their internal design teams lack of creative output. So this situation started off from to just 1 flatlay project… To me now having 6 of their major client contracts. The issue now - the internal design team is bitter that the major contracts are being outsourced. (I have an inside source) Now the accounting team has been “taking their time” to pay invoices, all while I’m in the middle of the projects.
Looking for mentorship as I transition from an Advertising CD (art direction) into branding and identity work, as it’s always been a passion of mine. Willing and expectating to pay for training/mentorship and really looking for someone to really help elevate my design skills and set the blueprint for self practice as well as guided reviews and theory. If interested please DM me.
Has anyone interviewed with Capital One multiple times before? I went through a "power day" back in 2024 and didn't get the job, but have been repeatedly asked to interview for various roles since then and have never moved into another power day. I'm convinced that they're only reaching out to me to check a legal box before hiring internally so that they don't have to bother looking for new candidates.
Did Godrej accidentally rebrand into another company's logo? The new "GI" mark has sparked debate for its similarity to Guerrilla's identity — and raises a bigger question: are brands getting too minimal to stay distinctive? Reminders for designers: • Minimal ≠ memorable • Simplicity needs originality • Due diligence is part of good design Coincidence or process failure?
I need help creating a digital portfolio. I’ve been at the same company for 10 years, and that was also the last time I updated my portfolio! I used Wix and had a physical book to show older work before transitioning to digital design, the world has changed. I just need a site with a good template, where I can add my stuff easily on my own and maintain it going forward. Thoughts on where I can have this done? Looking to pay for something good.
I had joined DGE Abu Dhabi as a Product Designer and left my previous local job because I was required to fully focus on this project. After only around one month, my contract was suddenly terminated during probation. This decision had a serious impact on my mental health, career plans, and financial situation. next in the comments
Who cares? It’s not your fault or your responsibility that they hired a team of weak designers. You get to capitalize on it. Bill accordingly and enjoy it. Consult a lawyer if you need help getting them to pay their invoices in a timely manner.
