Help!

I made a free follow-along lesson for people who want a finished design to show for their first session. We start with one portrait and build a magazine cover, then save an editable PSD and a JPEG.

The English lesson is 20:40 long, with captions and 20 chapters: https://youtu.be/tpD5NI745w0

What you practice:

- Separate the photo, masthead, headline and small cover lines into layers.

- Move and resize text without stretching it.

- Use a shape behind text to improve readability.

- Change the headline and apply the layout to another photo.

- Reopen the PSD to check that the text is still editable, and compare it with a flattened JPEG.

One useful exercise at the end: replace the headline, hide the text panel, and check whether the words still read clearly over your photo.

I am the creator of the lesson and of Photoshot, the free browser-based editor used in the recording. That is the interface shown in the video. The tutorial is free to watch; it uses an AI-generated narration.

If you try it, which step needs a slower explanation?

Hi!

I am being asked to make a design on a polo shirt because the design for the previous went missing, so, I was just asked to copy that design.

Which is fine except I do not know how the dimensions or specifics... esp if it is on a polo shirt because would the flat design look different then considering it would take the collar into account? And a part of the design have design on the sides of the shirt another thing i dont know how to do...

Please help me out :<<

Hey everyone!

I recently created this Glassmorphism design using Canva.

I experimented with gradient backgrounds, blur effects, transparency and glass-style elements to achieve this look.

I'm learning graphic design and trying to improve my Canva skills with every project.

I'd love to hear your honest feedback!

What do you think about this design?

What could I improve?

Thanks for checking out my work! ❤️

Curious what everyone here uses when preparing designs for print. I know the design part can be fun, but getting the file ready is another story. Sometimes you receive artwork from a client that needs fixing, fonts that need checking, colors that need adjusting, or images that just aren't good enough for print. And somehow, these little things end up taking so much time. I've been looking into Corel's design software lately, particularly their graphics suite. Thought it was worth exploring, especially for print-related projects. Question! how does it compare with your usual workflow?

Hello hello!!! I am not the best with graphic design, and I need some cool ideas to help this stand out among other people's projects. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

良いものをデザインする為にリサーチは大切だと理解しているけど、リサーチを深める度に、目だけが肥えて、自分の身の回りを囲む物事が醜く見えてしまう。
身嗜みなんかももっと良い服やアクセサリーが欲しいのに、財布がそれを許さない。
皆んなはどうしてるんだろう。

What are need to knows or tips for starting brand design !! I will be self taught, if anyone can help me out :)
