    Learning how to use illustrator for a job is like making the absolute sweared promise of going to dinner with your worst enemy every single day for hours a day because he is in charge of one of the only two restaurants on the planet and you have to kinda make your own food. Photoshop is the second and only second option to the Illustrator restaurant, where you don't have to participate in the food making but they don't serve water even if the manager is actually a lot more kind of a person, although he never remembers your name when you go.

    The left half of your instagram logo looks like the silhouette of a picture of a person too! So you have your film camera motif as well as portraying that it’s still about the social aspects of the users.

  • @romanbeckett3130
    @romanbeckett3130 Рік тому +15

    I really could never get into social media that well, especially not when i think about how youre just. Staring into and talking to a lens and trying to give an authentic interaction with a piece of glass, and reviewing that footage who knows how many times for who knows how many hours- but you do an *exceptionally* good job at talking to yourself in an empty room !
    In all seriousness youre very good at creating content and making it feel like some joshing around with an old friend from the other side of whatever screen your work ends up at.

  • @Egg_thing
    @Egg_thing 7 місяців тому +2

    Unironically I like the Instagram logo you came up with, it looks like a person holding a big film camera on their shoulder, a person being inside a camera and a person in a photo with an arrow pointing at them all at once. I really think the idea of recording things and/or being the main focus of your own profile comes across well. And as a bonus the person kinda looks like a lowercase "i". It could use a few tweaks to look better (mainly I'd make the triangle and the person smaller and have the edges be slightly less rounded) but the concept is genuinely pretty good
