Design inspiration from Brand New
Happy Friday! Last week I went to the Brand New Conference in Nashville, and I came home with SO much design inspiration. I have a bunch of takeaways I want to share with you over the next few weeks around typography, branding, finding your style, experimenting, getting off the computer and making things, and one of my favorites: “Trust the weird shit.” But first, I wanted to share a few of my favorite designers and studios from the conference. If you're looking for some fresh design inspiration, go give them a follow: The Lads Studio — @thelads.studio Super Spicy — @superspicystudio Jen Wagner Type — @jenwagnertype Cymone Wilder / Simon and Moose — @simonandmoose Matey — @wearematey CLUB — @workofclub Forge — @designedbyforge Joe Ernst Design Studio - @joernst1 Timia Lewis - @seeyatimia Take a few minutes and look through their work. There is some seriously good stuff in there. More of my biggest takeaways from Brand New coming soon!

@Muhammad Abubakar Siddiq My biggest question for you would be: what kind of work do you want to be doing? You have a really wide range of projects in your portfolio, so I think getting clear on that could help you decide what to feature most prominently. I’d recommend leading with three strong, full case studies that represent the type of work you’d like to get hired for. For each case study, try to go beyond just showing the finished designs—include some text explaining the problem, your approach, and how you arrived at the solution. That context helps someone understand how you think as a designer. I’d also consider simplifying some of your project thumbnails. A few have a lot going on, and while I can see that you’re trying to give a glimpse of everything included in the project, you don’t necessarily need to show it all upfront. You could even try removing the text from the thumbnails since the project title is already there and let the design itself be the focus. I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any follow-up questions or want me to clarify anything.

@Hana ElSoda Welcome, Hana! 😊 I’m so glad you’re here! Since you’re brand new to design, I’d start with the Welcome/Start Here posts—it’ll point you toward some good first steps and resources in the community. Also feel free to ask some questions in this feed or post some design work for feedback! I’d love to help!

🎉 NEW RESOURCE: Adobe Essentials Course
Want to learn the Adobe programs used by professional graphic designers? I just added my complete Adobe essentials course to the Classroom! You'll find 3 beginner courses: 🎨 Adobe Illustrator 📸 Adobe Photoshop 📄 Adobe InDesign Each course walks you through the basics step-by-step and includes practice files for every lesson, so you can follow along and actually use what you're learning. These courses are for complete beginners. Why learn Adobe? I've used Adobe software professionally for more than 20 years. Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign remain core professional design tools, each serving a different purpose—from vector graphics and logos to image editing and page layout. Great design is about MUCH more than knowing software—but knowing how to use your tools is an important part of becoming a professional designer. 👉 Start the Adobe essentials courses: https://www.skool.com/cryestudio-design-5609/classroom/7bf32f7d?md=4b118db839fd45399e594ab483f119ee 👉 Don't have Adobe yet? You can try Creative Cloud free for 7 days here: https://adobe.prf.hn/click/camref:1101lKN6K Which program do you want to learn first: Illustrator, Photoshop, or InDesign? 👇

This is awesome, Suraj! I love that you started with your idea by hand first. I’d recommend Adobe Illustrator for drawing and building the vector graphic. You could create the gradients in Illustrator too, or bring it into Photoshop to add more effects. I’m actually released my Adobe Essentials course here in the Classroom for free members, which will walk you through the basics of Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign. You can start here: Adobe Essentials course And if you don’t have Illustrator yet, you can get a 7-day free trial of Adobe Illustrator here: 7-day Illustrator trial Keep sketching your ideas first, too—that’s a great habit to build as a designer!

Thanks for sharing another one! Are you doing a daily design challenge? If so, I love that you’re getting in this much practice! I think the overall layout is working, but I’d simplify a few things. There are quite a few different fonts here—I usually try to stick to two typefaces max when possible. The “ORDER NOW” style and reflection especially feel disconnected from the rest of the design. I’d also give the text a little more breathing room from the edges and play with scale—could “Your Style” be even bigger? Think about visual grouping too. For example, could the logo and contact/ordering information be grouped together so there are fewer separate elements competing for attention? Most importantly, think about the message and CTA. What does “Your Style, Your Choice” mean for the customer, and how do they actually order? A website or clearer ordering information might help. The blue ties nicely to the jeans, but a brighter pop of color could add some energy too. Nice job continuing to experiment and share your work!
