You see eh, this kind thing happens often.
The guy is good at design. No doubt. But, you see UI, he knows it, he is not good at it. I am a designer. Not blowing my trumpet, but I know my onions when it comes to design. Especially UI/UX.
But, even the ones I'm not good at, I Understand that I'm not good at it. And get along with those that do and learn.

Design is way too vast for someone to claim they know every aspect of it. Like you, I know you can model and animate in your sleep. And you know there 're other aspects of design you 're not that good at. But, when someone says something with regards to that very one you know you 're yet to get hold of, you jump on him. That. Is. Not. It.

And, there's always room for improvement and to add to what we know.

@grafixdon, first, your UI skills need an upbeat whether you like it or not. UI is different from banner design. And, if you're true to yourself, you'll know what I mean.

You designed a UI for an e-commerce website, you can always check out other websites and see what they look like. And, when you do, score yourself.
There 're good sources for inspiration when it comes to UI/UX. In your spare time check these:
http://behance.net
http://dribbble.com
http://awwwards.com
http://uiparade.com

There 're a good number of 'em.
Abeg, where I fit to buy chilled Orijin?

felixchip:
Hahahahahaha! Chai! You dey see your life?
It is still marketable. Who said it's not.
It can be used as an example of Very Bad UI designs.

Park well abeg.
And, it's THREAD not TREND.

FincoApps:
Exactly!! it appears both of them are bosses. grafixdon, your work speaks for you.... Felix is right to an extent. You have very good Designs at least from what I've seen, however your UI is just average.

I personally use Felix so he too na boss. He has contributed to some of my successful projects. Felix seems to be great at UI design, that's probably why he made that offensive comment...

So you guys can calm down now and stop insulting each other

felixchip:
F*ck off!

Once you post on nairaland, you seek my opinion and that of everyone that can comment here on nairaland.
But, because you are very stupid, you fail to see that.

If your a*s is agood as you claim, your stinky eyes should have told you before you posted the design that it's wack.
But, the dude is just a stupid idiot whose aim is to get people to say "Awesome" for trashy works.
I called your clients idiot 'cause you made them look like one.

And for the record, you are an insecure b*tch.
You are afraid of having someone criticize your design when people already think of you as a big guy. Abi?
Again, F*ck off!

How Abia State Government Turned Down My Logo Design, Be The Judge (pics)

The New Abia Logo was unveiled few days ago and I received the news with shock. I pursued this logo for over 2yrs and in the end another logo was chosen.

*August 2013*
There was a call/announcement for submission of prospective state emblems through the BCA (Broadcasting Cooperation of Abia State) radio. I visited BCA and was directed to submit my entry with the office of the Secretary to the State Government, then headed by Dr. Nkpa O. Nkpa. Mine was later chosen and I was assigned to work with the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Information, Chief. Nathan Harbour. After a number of corrections, insertions and modifications, Chief. Harbour introduced me to the then commissioner for Information, Dr.Eze Chikamnayo, who took special interest on delivering the emblem; further adjustments were made on the emblem. However, towards preparations for the 2015 elections all matters on the state emblem initiative vanished and this is a bit understandable given the demands of our electioneering in this part of the world.
With a new government in place, I drafted and sent several proposals and reminder on the emblem, in addition with an anthem & a flag. Incidentally, on October 1, 2015 the governor called for entries on a state emblem and anthem and I again submitted mine and followed up, constantly sending reminders to the governor's social media platforms. I also exchanged mails with the Chief Press Secretary C. N. Nwakodo on several occasions concerning the entry.


Disappointed? Maybe
I am a bit disappointed not that my entry missed out on being selected for the state emblem, but that my work in every way can challenge and best the current choice in criteria as quality, interpretation and order. I put in my best with logo standards like that of Lagos and Osun state. But I will let my fellow Nairalanders be the judge.


Dear Mods, help me take this news up..

Adeinfo:
graphixdon completely displayed immaturity. You behaved like an insecure person who felt threatened. A lot of us have been through this and have emerged more strongly. Ability to tolerate criticism in media and communication design helps a great deal no matter your level. Everybody is free to talk as they like, yours is to differentiate between objective appraisal and personal opinion expressed by anybody. That is a way of dealing with critics and criticism.

osasojie:
baba, weda hee's a pro or a learner....as far as his work and labour can help him take care of himself, why d trouble...
There r guys dat r not even doing dis much and they're making millions...
I hope you're one of d fellas making millions out of ya graphic work....cos its not always by who's better, it's sometimes about who's smarter and more favoured...
Are you more favoured dan every graphic designer u think you're better dan?....think dis tru pls..

felixchip:
This post says it all. What you should ask your clients should be testimonials.
And not to use a private discussion between the both of you to win an argument.

You 're just a JOKER.

felixchip:
Being favored is one thing. Knowing what you do is another.
The best are not always at the Top. But, no matter how small wherever or whatever they handle, you'll always see the difference.

My clients pay. And I deliver.

And you grafixdon, if you were a professional, why would you upload a private discussion between you and your clients on a public forum
just to prove a point? Does that not show your level of professionalism?
You're a big JOKER.

grafixdon:
Before

reidkrugger:
Either of guys wld cripple me on this one so i do not have much to say. But i've seen each your jobs n both of u r gud to me n i'm sure to alot of ppl will agree to this even as u both hv ur fans.
Well, to felix airing ur views might not b wrong but how u do dat may b a problem. And i think dats wat d problem is. While u might not say his work is awesome, thr cld hv been a more subtle way of droppin ur comments. We r firstly artists then africans n d truth is... I think he saw it as u think him to b ur subordinate n no pro would take dat especially if he thinks he's better than u.
In all, both of u shld dump dis quarrel thing as nobody will gain from it. #My2pixels

reidkrugger:
In as much as i'm having d time of my life seeing both of u slug it out for a chance to get a shot at my heavyweight championship beef belt i'ld like to come in @ ds point if d fans dont mind.
I'm not a fan or friend to any of you so both ya'll shoudn't take it d wrong way. This is a simple issue but got out of hand wi ur first comment felix. Grafixdon ddnt seem to like it n boom it blew up.

Now unless u guys know eachother b4 now wi somtin transpiring btw u too n imho, felix drew d first blood. This is dsame tin spyware did to u many months back, but somehow u managed to keep ur cool aftr sending a displeasure warning signal.
Now wi all dat said, if u guys still want to continue i'll suggest we do it on camera. Lets's meet in a public place n knuckle up.
Ok lets kiss n make up or just shake hands whatever b4 una carry am enter mama level.

felixchip:
My Oga, I didn't. I saw the design, and just like I would any design, I said what I had to say.
But, he thought that his design is too good to get such comment.
If I had said "Awesome", he would have been happy. But, I told him the truth, and he got annoyed.

He may be good at design, but, this very design, or User interface generally, he is a learner.
And he has no option but to accept it and learn.

grafixdon:
Before and after

felixchip:
We sure are not. I can see that.

That's why I asked to keep working and practising. Maybe, your level will come up.

And, for your information, please, don't address me as boy.

reidkrugger:
Awesome Piece.

felixchip:
It's a good start.
Keep working and practising.
