I love the convo going on here... Keep on

I have a question... How do you guys choose colours when creating a design. What are the steps you go through to it...

This is long o..
I'll try to keep it short as possible.

Depending on the brand you are working for, there's something called color psychology, you cant use red for a banking sector and expect people to trust you and like green now denotes life, fertility. etc

read on color psychology and how the color wheel operates, the complementary colors, analogous, triads, etc it will help you when you want to combine them.

first have a base color that defines the brand, then, have like two other colors that goes with it, could be triads. it will be much easier like that.

there will be a base color, a mid one and an accent color, for a start anyway.

then if the brands have their own color, good for you, just find colors that compliments it, you can use Adobe color (a site) to pick colors too.

My battle to leave social media (especially Facebook) has gotten to another level, so i think the only way i can win is to buy small phone and dump my android for atleast 6 months.

i have the opportunity to do it now that i traveled to visit my family members, so I want to drop the phone here and travel back to my base, with this, there won't be any temptation of switching it on to check anything online.

my question is, if I left the phone unused for 6 months,will anything happen to it? during the years of Walkman CD, i left mine and traveled to Lagos, spent only 2 months, on coming home, it's no longer working

is my phone safe for 6 months unused?
(tecno spark 3)

What's the essence of leaving something only to come back to it later.

when you come back to it, I bet, you will be more addicted .. better save yourself money and unnecessary stress.

one month, three months are good, at least for mental health or anything else but 6 months? Just enjoy life when you still have it. Though with caution

Willmichael:
Which one is logo design love?

And I'd really like to know, what's the relationship between UI and branding?

knowledge about branding is just an added advantage.

logo design love just walks you through how some iconic logos were made and the thought process behind them.

there should be reason and purpose for everything of choice including font, color, design modes.
Logo is a form of branding ,when you understand the branding, you'd be able to make good decisions for your clients including font type, color, etc... but then most people learn it on the way sha but do not know it's a form of branding.

somaoe we all continue on our chats

Willmichael:
Yea. That's probably true about DOET, I started, then I stopped.

Seems like you're an avid reader, which other books would you suggest?

Logo design love, to learn more about branding

I hate to recommend too many books, it will get too cumbersome

logo design love
steal like an artist
UX Fundamentals and Principles for Non-UX Professionals

these three books, them good, directed towards specific purpose, finally
A book on marketing, the writer of steal like an artist has a book, I think it's sell yourself or something, I no just remember

Willmichael:
It's a good decision you've made... Be ready to dedicate time and efforts into learning @Emerald


HNG is supposed to end in 2-3 months...

I fell out tho. I'd take HNG seriously next year, pro'ly

thery didn't pick you or you were kicked out?

Willmichael:
Like I said yesterday...for you to be a very good and sound designer, you have to read...a lot.

I'd recommend reading

Steal like an Artist by Austin Kleon and

the Design of Everyday Things by Don Norman

I'm currently reading UX Fundamentals and Principles for Non-UX Professionals this month.

You can also suggest other good books in Design

These books are Good.

for a beginner, one should still leave out the design of everyday things though.


But you see that steal like an artist is good for designers and beginners who questions their creativity and how to be creative

while UX Fundamentals and Principles for Non-UX Professionals ,omoor, this book is sweet o, damn, it opens up everything and you get deep understanding.


these two I would gladly recommend for a beginner

missimelda01:

My friend go sidon jare, u be indomie generation. Even a goat that doesn't watch football still know about JayJay

I only said I didn't watch him play.. did I say I didn't know him?

Understanding is profitable, you know right? and right comprehension is golden

Jcash90:
indomie generation spotted

STFU bro

I'm not indomie generation, I wasn't matured enough when this guy was in the height of his career, damn

I didn't really see or witness him play.

but mehn, my parents will always sing praises of him, how is leg is like a magnet and all that.

I guess he deserves it anyways, even if I missed his era. I didn't miss Messi and Ronaldo's era, I'm actually happy for this.

or should I say I'm happy to be alive to witness this duo play.I will also tell me children how great these guys(messi and Ronald) are is / was.


modified: Some have started the indomie generation stuff, damn. I ain't indomie generation, I've not been a football fan from scratch. I just picked interest and my year of interest coincided with Messi era ....

not watching him dosent mean I wasn't born then

Interesting,
Since you just started learning graphics designer, I Will tell you not to rush the learning process, take it, a step at a time.

You said something about asking yourself if this thing is for you or not... [that is self doubt] My guy it happens to everyone including those who you think are making waves in which so ever industry, just name them.
Every of my ART that turned out really good, where the ones I doubted the most, just imagine I let that doubt pull me down, I wouldn't have finished/started it, a good example is the (ROBOTIC RONALDO).

The only way you can know, if PIZZA is something you will enjoy is to taste it first. Not everyone enjoys PIZZA.
The only way you can know, if something is good for is to try out first.

Hi friends, ♥️♥️
On this platform we've all seen different kinds of creative work, those that are:-
Excellent
Awesome
Beautiful
Ugly
Worst
Just name it.

As a digital vector artist, I started out "uglyfunny" ie I create art that made people say don't ever try this again, lol.
Looking at my journey so far I can safely say my art skills as improve, though am not yet where I want to be as a digitalartist.
Those who gave the earlier comment, now see my art and say BOSS, MY OGA, MENTOR, GUY SHOW ME WAY, etc. I know some of you can definitely relate. ( such is life)

Well am writing this to those who just started out and are yet to see any improvement in their craft, be it graphics and design , Art and illustration, music etc all kinds of creative work.
I have two things to say to you.
1. BE HUNGRY
2. NEVER GIVE UP

Someone might be thinking what of CONSISTENCY, yeah, yh, yh, you are a right but the fact still remains, if you are not HUNGRY you can't be CONSISTENT.

I hope this little write up has ignited the spark you.

SHARE ♥️

Boss, I started out graphics design not long ago... I would like to have you on WhatsApp, I want to network with you boss.

you know sometimes, I just feel like, is this thing for me at all, am I capable? those things....

yusufu16:
This is one of my work. Are you thinking of your next App/Website, I can bring your idea to life before going to a developer.

Boss, you still never reply me

yusufu16:
This is one of my work. Are you thinking of your next App/Website, I can bring your idea to life before going to a developer.

Boss, I had to go through the whole thread

I started my graphics design journey last month with vision on ui/ux ,but due to some reasons, I'm still learning, but not ui/ux.

I was advised to go through normal graphics designs first, branding and all that which I'm still drilling myself in right now.

But, you this thread is really giving me motivations to press forward.

can I message you on whatsapp? ,not to teach me though, just to ask questions and occasional guidance, please

iseoluwanimi:

atheistandproud:
This one is supposed to be my next post but I'll tell you anyways.

Just a brief summary.

A game is a virtual or computer generated environment so the GPU is constantly taking snapshots (frames) of that environment with the characters inside and then pushing them to your screen in quick succession.

RR is how fast your screen can decode that information and then display it.

FPS is dependent on your hardware, CPU, GPU, RAM, Storage (SoC)

RR is display dependent.

alright, I get it, but not fully
let me do as if I understand it all.


I will. wait for the your next post so I can grab it well

@atheistandproud

What is now the major difference BTW FPS and Refresh rate during game play and what effect do they have on each other

I don't see car as an achievement though, cos it's a necessity, just that majority can't afford it, so we see it as an achievement
(this is true for normal day to day cars though)
some buy cars on loans too, would you call that an achievement....


But you be candid, e get some cars wey you go buy for this life, you go know say na achievement.

cars like rolls Royce, Bugatti, lambo, range rover ,Escalade, Ferrari, maclaren, confirmed trucks(not the white and black hilux please) ,even getting a Tesla na achievement Biko
