I was late in my self acceptance due to religious and social pressure, I knew who I am from a young age, and the disability that I am born with... people kept telling me they were trying to "pray it away" and/or "cure" me while trying to assimilate me into their "norms". After 23 years, I finally denounced the "norms" and "views" finding myself anew. I will never go back, only forward.
I wish I could thank the few people that told me it was okay to be myself back then, as well as all the people who will remind me to be myself into the future.
Right, Mastodon. 3 years ago, I started a #Masters in #GraphicDesign. And then due to a combination of factors - Brexit and Covid being the main ones, I lost my job.
Since then, I've had two new jobs and been made redundant (again).
But things finally seem stable. And I'm picking up where I left off.
So as of this afternoon I'm a part time masters student again. 😁
It's very exciting and also rather nerve-wracking but I'm really looking forward to it. 😊
I feel like the dumbest digital designer, but I can’t for the life of me figure out how to optimize my social media graphics so they don’t look like pixelated garbage. I’ve read tutorials and watched YouTube videos, but whatever I’m doing is clearly wrong and it’s making me feel crazy. Is it because I’m making web graphics in Indesign? Is it the resolution? Is 150 not good enough? Too good? I’ve been doing this for years but I still can’t figure this out.
Salut Mastodon ! Je refais mon #introduction pour l’épingler :
Je suis Nepsie, graphiste, illustratrice, je vis dans une maison troglodytique (que j’ai rénové aux côté de mon époux @vilain !) avec notre meute de chiens et de lapins. Je fais un peu de tournage sur bois également et j’aime bien cuisiner ! Attends toi à des photos de tout ça !

"MODULAR MATTER is the attempt to re-think desktop publishing through the concept of modular synthesis. The outcome is a tool with several independent and combinable hardware modules, each of them performing a specific operation with an operation-specific physical interface. MODULAR MATTER can be played like an instrument in order to generate unexpected printed outcome. The process of making the tool as well as the unfamiliar experience of using the tool hopefully sparks critical conversations around tool ecologies and helps to break open engrained ways of working."
It’s a tale as old as time… I have been asked to put five pages of text into a two page design, and they won’t believe my claim that it’s not going to fit until I do it and show them. #graphicdesign
Hi. First post on this account. Very recent late Dx #ActuallyAutistic here. Special interests in my bio. Probably should include Autism as a special interest because I'm still in that phase. Nice to meet you. 👋
hello my name is Tony I am a digital artist, freelance graphic designer and all around pretty picture maker based in NC. I specialize in artwork for content creators, branding, websites, and apparel design. I also work at a print shop and make some pretty sick things there also!
I am currently testing and putting my feet in the water into a few different spots on mastodon.
I just bought the Classic Collection from NewGlyph. Amazing value, fantastic licencing, indie Swiss foundry. And, it's hard to overstate just how good they look. I have a library of 10,000 fonts built up over decades (not all usable in 2023) and these new fonts are so perfectly precise it almost hurts to look at them. It's a real investment for the studio. #typeDesign#typography#graphicDesign#print https://newglyph.com/classic-collection/
