Me and my bestfriend have started a new venture on the back of recently doing our own stuff to liven up the support that we had so much fun & thought we'd try expanding. we're just starting & would be grateful for any advice, design ideas & any customers. we do sticker designs, banners, logos, Facebook covers etc

My advice would be to immerse yourselves in every, and I mean every, aspect of graphic design. Go to the design museum, look at what design companies are doing, go to all the graduation shows...read up about typographers, who they are, why they choose the fonts they do. Typography is more than choosing a pretty font. Which is why the Teutonic looking face you've gone for in your example seems bloom in' odd to me.

And then, when you've learnt all the rules. Break them. Good luck

 


When the time comes, I want die just like my Dad - at peace and asleep.
Not screaming and terrified.
Like his passengers.

Final bit of advice.

Don't post duplicate posts in both palace talk and general talk.

And make sure someone checks the grammar for you before publishing. I recommend SloveniaDave.

Just because I don't care doesn't mean I don't understand!

My opinions may have changed, but not the fact that I am right.

Congratulations on the ambitious design, but it's way over the top - like a promotional poster for a horror movie.

Go for something simpler - eg Helvetica.

Sometimes less is more.
