IMPORTANT:
First, sorry for shouting.
Second, can we please move the general banter back to where it belongs: The Ink Spot? Let's make this the room for art critique again.

But I like pie. I could eat 3.14 of them every day.

No scientist would ever remove their helmet on an exoplanet, ever ever ever. The movie is full off shit like that.

Gradients are often misused. They have their use in artwork of course, but I think I tend to like flat stuff that still looks like it has depth.

My vague opinion about this is that being allowed to say what you want doesn't mean you necessarily have to say whatever you think.

a monsoon typically has a dry and wet phase, so sun and clouds can go together perfectly.
DO NOT trust your minds eye! You might think it'll look weird, but you cannot be sure unless you try.

Never say "What?" unless in very informal circles.

@Vikas No, I'm a front-end developer. Biggest part of my job is converting designs to HTML/CSS. So in that regard, I'm intimately familiar with good and bad design. I have been known to just send designs back to our designer because they looked nice, but they were horrible from a UX perspective.

but trust me, make an error with an RGB to CMYK conversion once and you will remember for the rest of your life :P

@Vikas Yes. And the artwork is the real problem for the printer. In Acrobat you can easily just add the bleed setting, but you need some artwork. Fixing a filled background is easy, but if there are images and many shapes it takes some work.

I don't think you should. The fact that their work is rewarded with more money, does not inherently make them better persons -- even if they might think otherwise

@Vincent I judged it based on the satisfaction, peace and feeling that you're contributing to the world somehow, using your skills that you care about. Money is at last for me.

@Vikas I haven't executed on any of my inspiration for the last half year. I used to feel very guilty about that, but these days it's getting easier to cut myself some slack

1 - Dynamism
2 - Integration (typography, image and color)
3 - Ethnic reference: The handwritten typography refers to the classic French mid-century style

@johnp Wow, man. Your feedback is like a god-send. I'm certain no one has ever given me such a detailed, concise and helpful critique. I'll do my best to make the most of this.

Apparently, their business workflow was so linked to my thinking, that 2 years later they came back from a different position and with a more flexible offer and we're still working today on better terms.

if you want perfection you'll have to go all joojaa on this thing and write the algorithms yourself in a text editor :D

A: Aligning neighbouring paths and “connecting” anchors in Illustrator

joojaaI won't directly answer the question, I will, instead suggest an alternate workflow. The benefit of this workflow is that it is guaranteed that you will not get this problem. First build a isometric grid. Make vertical lines and rotate the field 2 times with 120 degree offset. Tip: If you make ...
