Aside from the fact that Graphic Designer is barely if ever mentioned on the site, I don't think you understand what Graphic Design is

haha welcome back, your feedback last time was 100% fair and balanced - I used it along with the other comments in that thread to resolve the issues I felt deserved attention and the things you mentioned fell into that category, so I appreciate it!

in regards to the new my projects bug, thats honestly something I noticed myself just recently too and its a result of changing which projects I have up. at one point they all had at least 1 project they were filtering - that is something I will be sorting out!

Im getting back to fleshing out the projects now, I've been spending time working on some other stuff - i needed a break after the amount of time that went into this originally haha. but im aiming to circle back now and polish up/add to the copy/projects

haha! Im fully prepared for some roasts but this time i'm 9 months more experienced in dealing with it. Thanks so much for the thoughtful feedback, I really appreciate it and its even better coming from someone who saw the original version.

That was the idea! I can't stand here and say that it's made me completely stable in my freelance career but it defintely got some eyeball's on me that would have no clue who I otherwise was

haha thanks! turns out it isn't as easy as searching for a standard audio file for the sound (being a machine sound i guess/think?) so I had to find someone doing ASMR and cut it up hahah

it’s actually closer to family guy/bobs burgers than Ghibli, so it’s pretty obvious you just jumped on the AI hate train around the Ghibli craze

And if that’s your only complaint, thanks so much - I’m glad you could find something to try and drag me down though for your own enjoyment

Thanks so much dude!! really appreciate it, I couldn’t agree more and I can’t wait to make the next project even sloppier

It’s cool hey

So you can’t take me seriously based on the use of a tool that almost definitely is used on a daily basis by everyone in my industry? Or would I be taken more seriously if I took a moral stand like you, and failed to adapt to my changing profession?
