What's the obsession with grafician?
- same hererenderedred
- Origin story:
https://www.qbn.com/…palimpsest - And if you want to look at our latest interaction and still call it an obsession:
https://www.qbn.com/…palimpsest - he posts so much that most of the info he posts is bullshit, I honestly think he'll just read a headline and post it hereYakuZoku
- I'm here for you.palimpsest
- If you're really looking for answers I would say that the main difference between me and *you people* is that *I know* I'm asshole.palimpsest
- Typical brusk Eastern European male know-it-all who can't appreciate that he's a) sometimes wrong, b) not the internet oracle thinks he is ... abuts QBNNairn
- Oh, and on b), still the type of person who HAS to let everyone know he Already Posted That Thing Aaaages Ago.
No one cares.Nairn - Haha. I think NBQ has that view, except he still hasn't figured out how is a racist. Or has he? Has he gained the ability of self-reflection?Ianbolton
- Not racist, just don't like Islam. Hehe. And grafician is kinda entertaining.NBQ00
- What is it that makes it worry about grafician?palimpsest
- Why do you feel grafician is getting too much attention?palimpsest
- No. I find his posts entertaining in a way.NBQ00
- Just look at your hero. How did he handle the situation? Do you think he came out on top?palimpsest
- How entertaining was him to be totally oblivious of the situation. On a scale of 1 to 10?palimpsest
- who?i_monk
- NBQ bro no need to defend, these are kids man trying to validate themselves lolgrafician

Currently working on the 'ol CV/Resume.
For someone with 20 years graphic/digital design and 5 years ux/ui experience, do you think it's even necessary to list the Software you are proficient in? Seems pretty daft listing photoshop, illustrator etc as they are a given, no?
In my experience bullets I've already noted about use of Figma and Adobe XD, which are the main softwares any UX/UI job will be looking for.
- I think that they do be a given. But given how much stuff changes it shouldn't hurt to include them.palimpsest
- Including them won't look stupid even if it shouldn't be what they're hiring you for.palimpsest
- Apparently it is useful for keyword matching with job description. Gotta do SEO on your resume these days to get past the filters.monNom
- Not sure if true but I’ve heard that clickable urls in resume can be flagged as potential malware vector. Unintuitive, but there you go.monNom
- Thanks monNom! I was going to put clickable URLs in there to link to my portfolio files!
I'll look into this.microkorg - Also make sure that your CV doesn't use any ligatures.Nairn
- You have to call it a TECH STACK. So here's what's in my TECH STACKstoplying
- that is one swole tech bro.cherub
- The AI that will scan your CV before any human sees it will probably be looking for that kind of redundancy.i_monk

Rewatched The Favourite recently. Its almost like Yorgos did his riff on a Shakespeare comedy. Worth a rewatch!
- Been REALLY into his stuff lately – took me a while but I get it now. A cross between Tim Walker and Stanley Kubrick!DaveO
- +1 I loved this. Really enjoyed The Lobster and Killing of a Sacred Deer and Poor Things is incredible.Morning_star
- The Lobster drifted off a bit in the second half, but the black comedy was all there. He's a great directorIanbolton
- Kinds of Kindness also great!DaveO

So y'all have helped me, sometimes a LOT, with our posters for the City of Trees Parade and Mardi Gras Festival for the past few years. I am the lead organizer of the parade, and this year I actually got a graphic designer to volunteer to help do our big poster (again below). But in case you want to see what this event looks like, here's some coverage:
This parade is my baby!- I can tell u got a graphic designer this year. It looks good.cherub

TRUMP.
THREADS.
FFS.- exactly...thats why this thread has no -trump- in its title...neverscared
- Graf has been flooding this place with this shitYakuZoku
- So this would be a workaround to getting Trump content on the frontpage because it doesn't have "Trump" on the title?palimpsest
- its a pretty good title, trump content in it or not....neverscared
- personally i would prefer this one and delete the other with the - donald trump- titleneverscared
- but i´am a child..so guess it wont happen...neverscared
- As a parent, I have to say that a child has better reasoning skills than you do.palimpsest
- thanksneverscared
- can we still use the krasnov title though ?neverscared

will anyone read this? its kind of long.

It's been 25 years but I did get to see them live, they only played one more show and that was a year later at ATP.

Apple
Can anyone recommend some good external monitors for a mac mini I may be getting.
My iMac has died suddenly and it's probably not going to be worth repairing as it's an Intel and quite old now. Although I am going to get it checked.
I could get a display for my macbook Air but although great for nearly everything, I do fancy getting a mac mini now. Anything above the base model soon gets pricey though.
The Apple display would be my first choice but it's just too expensive to justify I think.
- https://www.asus.com…kingsteven
- asus new 5k monitor, well priced. probably what i would go for if i was buying right now.kingsteven
- I've got two of these on an adjustable mount behind my desk. https://www.amazon.c…mg33
- if you're doing mostly web work, Dell UltraSharp 27" 16:9 4K IPS LED Monitor [U2723QE] is more than enough_niko
- honestly get anything that looks cool in your office, they all work about the same. I have a 10 year old $250 Samsung that I have 0 complaints with._niko
- thanks all. food for thought there. Yep niko, it is mostly web, v.rare print. super accurate colour is not essential, although I would like similar quality tofadein11
- those great iMac screensfadein11
- I bought the 43" LG 4K (43SQ700S) display a couple years ago for $497 and love it. https://a.co/d/e0l5Q…utopian
- feel like we would all have 5k monitors if there had been a good option under $1k, osx is designed to use 5k its why the imac and studio display look so good...kingsteven
- definitely check reviews of that new acerkingsteven
- They have newer ones, but I'm really happy with it.mg33
- I'd love the Apple monitors, but you can't easily switch between computers on them, which is dumb.mg33
- DELL U2723QE only slightly less good than the Studio Display except no webcam. Good price, 4k almost as good as 5k. Good colorsnb
- ooh, thanks nb and everyone else. Lots to look at :)fadein11
- I use the Apple at work and the Dell at home. Apple is nicer but very glossy reflective and has no power button which makes it awful in my roomnb
- I have that Dell. Just the older version. Great display and USB C also charges the Mac, so only one cable :)monospaced
- macOS isn’t optimized for 5k specifically, it just happens to handle it as well as it does 4k and below. It scales everything up anyway.monospaced
- 5k is 2:1 scaling so with a 27" 5k everything is sharp and text is a legible and sharp on the smallest default zoom setting, just as it is on a 5k iMac or applekingsteven
- 's own displays. when you use 4k the scaling is not bad (but arguably not quite as sharp) and scaling options are slightly too small and slightly too big.kingsteven
- it's not a huge deal, but the new acer 5k is £800 - same price as i paid for my Benq 4kkingsteven
- Yep. I use 4k and 5k and a good designer’s eye will easily see the difference. But the 4k is passable and the 5k isn’t work an extra grand imonb
- Curious about that new Acer now though. Reasonable price.nb
- I’ve been using BENQ’s these past years; great colour and affordable, BUT I’ve cracked a few screens with small movements...ideaist
- ...I’d consider something a bit sturdier moving forward; Apple’s lowest priced offering is nice. BUT as expensive as the computer itself!ideaist
- shell out for the Benq its worth itcannonball1978
- 5k is 2:1 in what sense? Native is native regardless of what resolution it is.monospaced
- A 4k running at 4k isn’t scaled at all. It’s as sharp as you can imagine and has NOTHING to do with what macOS prefers.monospaced
- and yet the studio display and iMac displays are noticeably better? there are multiple factors at play, there is a sweet spot where osx looks better and forkingsteven
- 27" this is 5k. there are multiple articles on how apple chooses its resolutions for laptops, desktops, external displays. i'm not sure why you are insistingkingsteven
- apple is wrong... they don't use 4k (3840x2160) 27" panels in any device for good reason.kingsteven
