Unfortunately cannot share imagery publicly as it is a decently known brand in the East Coast. Owner wants the… let’s say arabic, text rotated to its side. The text is two words, not one, so I have to stack them also. On its side readability is POOR and as a designer from a “successful logo” perspective I would never recommend that. Even in Arabic logos you never see that for good reason, now imagine a diaspora kid trying to read at quick glance.

I am rationalizing this in a way maybe he is not articulating - that he doesn’t mind if the readability is poor as long as it looks cool; as one of the defining parts of the english logo still remains and has some form of recognizability. I can see that, if he predominantly only is using it in flyers associated with Arab speakers (sponsoring Arab events) or merch. So I’m working with the request in that regards.

However I can’t help but think maybe I’m just not good at what I do, when tbh I truly believe a brand extension of a different language should closely mimic the original English logo too. There have been some suggestions I largely disagree with and I’m not sure where the line is of “I just need to be more creative” / “creativity is born under limitations” versus actually objectively this is wrong.

When I explain to him why I would not encourage this, he is still wanting to try it, which makes me feel like I’m wasting my time, but I am not opposed to really stretching my limits here and seeing where it is taking us so I still am trying it. But if I am unsuccessful at this I feel like it is positioning me as the “incapable” one when in reality the request is uncommon and difficult to begin with.

Wondering if you have some advice here or have been in similar situations. I love designing but find myself having difficulty with clients like these and need to learn how to handle this better.

I have a ShopMy (small creator, 3k highly engaged followers on each platform). I recommended my SIL (at the time 30k followers) and she was accepted. I recommended a friend of mine, who has 65.1K organic followers on instagram and already influences purchases but isn’t on any of these platforms.

She was denied both times she applied with no explanation. She thinks it has to do with the log in process because there are a few facebook accounts but only one is connected to her instagram. I told her to respond to the rejection email because it seems like people have had success with this approach.

I can get my SIL, who is icon status, on ShopMy to refer her in 3 months if that helps. What do you think the issue is and do you have recommendations here? Sad because I feel like ShopMy is more popular than LTK and she would benefit being on there.

IIl play with my 6 year old all day, give him treats, feed him, make sure his litter box is ok. I do notice that he’s a little more irritable when the sun isn’t out. He gets overstimulated easily so I leave him alone otherwise. When we overstimulated him he seeks vengeance on me but for my husband he runs to scratch the doormat. Sometimes he’ll randomly jump and bite me from behind me when I don’t expect, and that’s when I start crying bc I get so frustrated LOL

My husband and I got married last year and were otherwise long distance dating for 2 years prior. My cat doesn’t bite his feet for attention, only mine. It’s getting really annoying. It’s painful enough for me to yell “ow” but not break skin.

My husband says it’s because I react but I don’t know how to not react, it hurts me and bothers me when I’m working to support his lifestyle at my day job and he won’t leave me alone. It feels threatening when he’s surrounding me demanding to play when I already played with him an hour prior, worried he’s either going to try to scratch at me or bite my feet. Then I put him in a time out in my bedroom and he scratches the door so I let him out eventually. Sometimes that does calm him down though.

We were thinking maybe he just needs a friend. We’ve also noticed he’s nicer to my mom when we leave him with her on vacations, but suspect it’s because she has a big house with lots of stairs to run around versus our 1 bedroom NYC apartment. Thinking maybe we need to take him outside a bit more to tire him out also. Just hard with our work schedules.

Just wondering if anyone has advice. I want to pursue a cat behaviorist maybe for tailored suggestions but not sure if it’s covered by insurance. Any leads her would be helpful. Thank you!

Usually get russian manicures but in an unfortunate series of events had to use press ons for a wedding and got a greenie on my finger. Let it breathe and grow out for 3 weeks to watch the greenie- it started losing some vibrancy and was not spreading as my nail was growing out. I recently got dazzle dry so I can remove and watch it to make sure it’s ok. But I’m really itching to have hard gel with gel overlay extensions

I reached out to Serena and requested she source it from Kendall but she said it’s made of sheepskin when TR produces this in lambskin. I was surprised to hear that because there has been chat about Kendall Factory producing with the same leather that TR does.

Also heard Conan is good for TR. Anyone have suggestions?
