I am 13 years outdated, and need to be a graphic designer once I’m older. I had been messing round with some emblem designs, something I may do to impove them? (I am restricted to very fundamental software program for the time being)

  1. I like where you’re going with this. Congratulations on pursuing your dreams! I would adjust the kerning (space between the letters) to make it tighter. And keep playing with the orange lettering and black shadows. Nice work!

  2. The objective of this work is to get it on clothing (shirts, hoodies, etc.) The audience is teenagers and young adults interested in streetwear/techwear, some decisions that went into the design are geometric shapes I feel represent cities (straight, uniform, grey buildings) and the colour orange, being bright and flashy, contrasts that idea, therefore, ‘paint your city orange’ would be telling wearers to go against the idea of a city.

  3. This delights me. I’m an 80s/90s kid and this feels really retro and fun. I’m impressed that you’re creating this quality of work at 13!

    The kerning between the letters is bothering me—especially between the P and the A. I think you also might want to try to play with scale a bit. See what happens if you make the type a little smaller or larger with the shapes a different colour.

  4. This is great work. I think the black shadows running through the orange shapes is a nice touch. As for software limitations, what are you using currently? There are some pretty great free options for graphic design out there, no matter what computer you’re working with (Check out Inkscape for Windows/Linux/Raspberry Pi OS or Vectornator for Mac).

  5. You still have to learn a lot. Maybe go and read some good design books, prefer books from good designers. Theory often helps to get it rolling. You should need to understand what makes a design good, to rate your own design afterwards! There is a good book: Good Design is a tough job. Go for it!” Maybe this book will motivate you 🙂
