The creative team @Sentinels is a perfect example of why good design matters.
As a designer you have two options—using design to showcase info; or using it to develop a brand's culture.
The SEN identity is always seamlessly brought into their marketing, content and products.

Okay jokes aside about yesterday.
I have never been more confident that @JhbTeam is going to become one of the biggest content creators in the world one day.
He’s a naturally hilarious talent that has such a bright future ahead of him.

My goal was to build one of the most recognizable brands in gaming.
I am now open for new opportunities. If you want to work together, my DMs are open.

It's been a year since I was laid off.
Since then I got married, found a new job, moved from my hometown, got laid off (again), and found a new new job.
As scary as this experience was in the moment, I genuinely believe I ended up in the right place.
So this is unexpected news, but after two fantastic years—today will be my last day with @100Thieves.
We built one of the strongest visual identities in esports, and I am honored to have been a part of that legacy.
Thank you for allowing me to chase my dream.

If you design for 8 hours a day, and then “relax” by designing for 8 more hours a day with no breaks, you are going to burn yourself out.

The best logo rebrands fix functional problems first while maintaining the personality of the brand.
In design, "similar but different" allows supporters to stay attached to what they're used to, while gradually adding revisions that aren't often noticed.

In the past 3 years I lost 3 job opportunities at 3 different tier 1 esports organizations. I made it to the finish line, but got denied each time.
I kept telling myself "this isn't where it ends".
1 month after the 3rd "failure", I found a job @100Thieves.
So keep going.

During the Swiss Typographic Movement in the 1950's and 60's, designers would eliminate capital letters in their type, claiming that it added unnecessary tension to the flow of the design.

I don't talk about my personal life very often.
But today my girlfriend and I just got approved for our first apartment.
This past year we were able to turn our hobbies into a living.
Would not have been possible without this community.
Thank you everyone. ❤️

If you want to get started with motion design, the ONLY tools you need are scale, position and rotation.
If you animate intentionally, you won't need anything else.
