I only stayed near virupaksha temple for a few days - all the bigger shacks with fancy names serve generic touristy food. I tried food from smaller home stays nearby - got some REAL good, authentic, and homely food. Most of them didn't have a menu - they just served you whatever they decided to cook for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Hella cheap too.

@ilyamiskov everyone: over-explaining

@shreyaaatha you gotta step away from the constant noise at times

@polarcc it's the abundance of "what works"

picking the correct typeface isn't half as challenging as making it work for your brand

@lifeofmansoor @forgebitz as long as it's ahead of affinity in terms of ai tools, It's still game

We're not very far from seeing early midjourney outputs inspired design layouts, a whole new subcategory in nostalgia slop

@oykun a handful of tier 3 designers in marketing agencies who'd do grunt work, no jobs for them

@yahyavision Man I don't know about "taking over" - it could be 6months to a couple of years tops. What I know FOR SURE, that I'll always need a good designer onboard to produce my stuff instead of A-to-Z Ai production. No human engagement = no real value. simple as

@ayushsoni_io instrument serif don't deserve the hate it's getting

[Shubham Jha @Shubhj1094]

I've been designing logos for a while now, and it still remains one of my favourite areas of graphic design.

One very rudimentary thing I continue to practice (and genuinely enjoy), even today, is hand-scribbling as many horribly drawn directions as possible before moving a single pixel on the screen.

Needless to say, in this day and age, with all the tools and platforms we have access to, staring at a blank screen is totally optional. But even before AI tools and prompt crusading, simply beginning the process of putting a unique shape together could feel incredibly daunting, especially when there was a plethora of references online.

Point being, the noise of “where do I even begin?” has always been loud before embarking on a larger project. With the overwhelming number of starting points available today, it's only gotten louder.

In this case, what works for me is starting with what I know first, instead of what else I can know. Hence, the starting point is putting that pen to paper. Sketching as many bad ideas as I can, without worrying about where they’re going or how they’ll scale. The first couple of pages are often some weaker ideas that simply need to be cleared off the pipeline before I start to narrow down to a handful of potentialities.

Only then do I move the cursor.
