MARGINS!
MARGINS!
MARGINS!

wait me? or horse? cos i could have used margins in the right hand side of my flyer, but horse could adjust his page with some margin stylings as well...

you mostly boo

haha i hear you! thanks for the advice

is cool. I still forget them all the time.

i DO know about margins, but man, after work, at 2am... you forget, i guess...

EDIT: margins adjusted!

margins are supposed to be a quarter of an inch.

Got my portfolio up! With the use of WordPress and bro skilled in css and html. More stuff to be added soon (still slightly under construction). Have a look guys and let me know what you think

i wholeheartedly disagree.
i hate design that conforms to some preconceived notions of what should and shouldnt be done purely because someone once decided it should be so.

I agree with horse here. From a practical perspective, i agree that work containing type needs a certain amount of space between the type and the edge of the work for the sake of readability but i would leave the decision of the distance between said type and the edge of the work up to the designer.

well as far as print goes you need margins, otherwise your shit gets cut in half.

Yeah 3 mm bleed and 3 mm margin should do the trick.

always 3mm bleed yes but why cant you have type/images that runs off/is cut in half/at weird angles etc etc

obviously this wouldnt go if you were laying out a maths textbook or some sort of diy manual but you get my drift.

i dont like constraints is all. working in design studios has, in my experience been one of the most creatively stifled, monotonous and rigid environments to work in.
rows of shiny macs and angular translucent furniture. soft grey carpet and ergonomic workstations lined up according to the rules of feng shui like humming automatons.
it horrifies me.

which is why i dont work in design-as-a-career anymore.
i do it for myself, on my own terms, in my bedroom.
i work on what i want, for who i want, when i want.

give me chaos and unpredictability. give a room full of colour & inspiration. i want piles of books & magazines. i want unruly stacks of paper covered in doodles and scribbles. i want inappropriately loud music playing and endless armies of empty coffee cups.
if it doesnt inspire/scare/amuse or challenge me then i dont wanna know about it...

massive inspiration to me.
all designers should watch this
