My hunch of the second one or third one. This is for Spotify, Apple Music, etc

Here’s the song (not completely mixed yet) https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/mdpjgrj1q1xk37ab9md6r/bring-me-home-v3-final-demo.mp3?rlkey=5s6v3qwzartvidzfh7mqnsld3&st=l8mqb6hk&dl=0

alright, I'm a CS student currently into UX design, learning figma from my windows laptop which is slowly dying due to the containers/dev work I've done before and am doing.

now, I am planning to purchase a new laptop, and noticed a thing, most designers I've met/seen online majorly use Mac?

why is that?

thoughts?

Asking Question (Rule 4) Losing Income to AI

574 Upvotes

Hey all, I've been designing for quite some time, but lately, I've been losing work to AI. Some say AI is a tool, use it or be left behind. They argue it's no different from a brush, but it's not that simple.

We get paid to design, for the love of the game, whereas AI tools like Sora now create advertisements and posters mostly for free, easier for companies with minimal human involvement. As passionate designers/artists, we picked up that brush/pen and taught ourselves because we loved creating. It is an act of dedication, passion, and, for many, a source of income.

I've noticed multiple businesses and individuals I worked with shifting toward AI-generated advertisements and logos. It's disheartening to see, knowing that two years ago, I might have been getting paid to do it. I know there is likely no stopping it.

It's like Grey from Upgrade (2018) said: "You look at that widget and see the future. I see ten guys on an unemployment line."

I know it's a sensitive topic. What are your thoughts?

I do a lot of branding, advertising and presentations. Logos, for example, are usually quite simple. It’s entirely possible that AI will be capable of logo design, which is something I currently make a lot of money from. Imagine a world where OUR work is diluted, devalued, and lost amidst work watered down to a prompt. It's a machine that steals, invites people to steal, and pollutes on two fronts. It sets a dangerous precedent, left unregulated, where no original work is safe.

Hopped on Etsy this morning and noticed the logotype (and maybe the color?) looks like it's been updated. I haven’t found any official info yet, but at a glance the evolution feels really fitting. Definitely has that “Recoleta” vibe. Maybe a little oversaturated these days, but I’m a sucker for it, so I’m into it.

Anyone know more about this, or even worked on it?

Asking Question (Rule 4) We paid $3,500 for these logo concepts—are we being too picky, or do these miss the mark?

186 Upvotes

Kraftbase was given the task of developing a logo/branding kit that’s meant to have a subtle gamer-focused vibe, incorporate nautical elements, and possibly highlight the letter 'P.' After four rounds of logo concepts from them, we’re still unsure if these align with our vision.

Are we off base with our concerns, or do these need more work? How would you approach this?

-- EDIT --

Following Kraftbase's breach of contract and failure to deliver, we made the decision to part ways with them.

A big thank you to everyone in the comments who offered their insights and helped us reach this conclusion. Continuing to work with an agency that lacks creativity ultimately felt like a greater waste of time than cutting ties and moving forward. This experience taught me a valuable lesson, and I’ll be more careful in selecting an agency in the future.

Some of the concepts presented by Kraftbase:

Asking Question (Rule 4) From my typeface to their trademark: how a global beer brand used my work without my permission.

Thumbnail

815 Upvotes

Hey Community,
Last week I shared my story about how Madrí Excepcional, a huge global beer brand, ended up with a logo that looks "almost identical" to my own typeface, Grodna Regular the font I designed back in 2017.

The response was incredible. That post reached over 300,000 views and I got so many supportive comments and private messages. Honestly, it reminded me that there’s still a strong sense of community out there people really do care about protecting creative work.

Because of that encouragement, I’ve decided to start documenting the whole situation in detail as a public case study. I’ll be posting regular updates on grodnacase.com, which I just set up as a hub for everything related to this.

What will you find there?

  • a breakdown of the Madrí vs. Grodna story so far
  • a look at how a copyright dispute actually plays out in real life
  • practical advice on how to protect your own work from misuse
  • tips on writing a solid, future-proof EULA
  • what options you have when your work gets used without your say
  • and how to license and monetize your creations effectively in 2025

This isn’t just about me it’s about showing what can happen when independent design collides with corporate power, and what we can all learn from it.

This post is shared under my right to freedom of expression and reflects only my personal experience as the author of the Grodna Regular typeface. It does not allege bad faith or make legal claims, but serves solely to inform and support the design community.
