What’s a Photoshop habit/technique you know is frowned upon but you continue to do out of convenience? Mine is destructive editing by changing adjustments directly instead of using a new adjustment layer (but only for simple projects). 🤦🏻‍♀️

I have seriously debated teaching a class on "how to build a file".

there is some firm logic about when/where/how to construct a psd file. its verbally acknowledged in the industry. but good luck finding that info in a classroom or online forum.

@CD1 -- I'm not doing it for free. but, I'd like a guinee pig to start with. thoughts?

I try to lead by example and group layers so that when you open the PSD the hierarchy is clear.

Auto select subject when masking instead of tracing over it with the pen tool and then selecting.

Smart object inception

this actually is preferred if there is a logic to it. I always build files so you can have maximum flexibility to revert to old versions or make stupid edits. why? because ADs are fickle beasts.

What is it like working as a full-time graphic designer for a company (not an agency/firm)?

Hi all
I started out as a graphic designer. Worked for about 4yrs in different roles. Then i started a digital design role for 2 yrs and then made my transition into ux. i have been in a ux role for 5 years. But i want to steer my career towards something more creative. Like in 5-10 years I wouldn’t want to be a specialist or a ux director. I d like to be an art director or creative director. I love branding & marketing but also product. Would love something that allows me to do both?

I started a full time in-house design job that pays extremely well. I barely have to work at all. This makes me very confused since I kept hearing stories of people working 60+ hr weeks as designers at ad agencies. I am not complaining, but I have this creeping irrational feeling that I’ll get fired for not working even though there’s nothing for me to do. Should i be making up projects or asking for more work? Or just chill out? I just feel very confused. Are a lot of full time jobs like this?
