MAIJIN New Gen For The Future and Beyond

The MAiJiN brand ecosystem has been completely overhauled across the online and offline spectrum. Numerous changes have befallen the current creative industry and emerging markets are starting to materialize for the future. For the past year, I’ve engaged in hot fixes and patches on my web platforms to account and adapt to the evolving landscapes, but some months ago, it was evident my entire brand architecture was reaching critical mass where it was beginning to erode effectiveness and pinch my performance, which ultimately would pulverize sustainable growth for the ecosystem I’ve built for over a decade and must continue to manage for the future. With that said, the maijintheartist.com website design has been redeveloped and rebuilt from scratch with a more salient conversion-oriented design, brand language and positioning, color palette, headshots, and the site performance has been significantly improved with less coagulated code. In addition, maijinstore.com is expanding into offering cryptocurrencies, block-chain platforms, and NFTs. My team and I are developing a massive infrastructure and assets to house and distribute into the coming metaverse which I will announce by the end of this year.

Always strive to be better than the person you were yesterday, and always seek to make a platform that you can build your future upon. I am ready to continue the daily the mission and the long drive toward the vision of my future.

Why a Student Artist & Amateur Designer Should NOT Be Hired Freelance

By DREW Blogging, Branding, Concept Art, Freelancing, Graphic Art, Graphic Design, Hiring, How To, Illustration No Comments

You are considering hiring a freelance student artist, amateur designer, or a fresh art school graduate online, because you have a project that needs to get done and you want the cheapest design rates and most affordable art services. So you’ve shopped a couple of agencies, contacted a few creative professionals, checked a few portfolio websites, but you thought their quote estimates had outrageous fees for a few drawings and paintings. You didn’t think commissioning an art and design specialist would take up so much of your budget. So to save on costs you even try to get help from your best friend’s uncle’s nephew who took an art class during his undergrad years, but he is unavailable, so you keep searching.

Then it happens…you find an artist! It’s a student artist or a talented amateur designer who does some freelance work. The freelancer has competitive pricing in the quote proposal email, and after a quick chat youre even able to negotiate the costs down even further.

Sounds like the best savings deal on paper, right? You possibly could be the next Nike who contracted a student artist to create their logo for $35 in 1971, which was/is a rare case indeed…maybe you can pull it off. its possible.

But the reality is, it almost never works out that way. And in the end, the whole process will cost you more than if you were to just outsource a professional artist and illustrator who has proven their ability to deliver results. Here’s why..

Vector Logo vs. Raster Logos | Logo Design

By DREW Blogging, Branding, Graphic Art, Graphic Design, How To, Logo Design, Typography No Comments

As graphic artist, when I’ve been hired to design a character logo for a customer, I always ask if they are aware of the difference between a vector logo vs raster logo. The top goal of any good designer should be to create a logo that can be used not just for today, but for any future product, merchandise, or purpose you might not be aware of yet. Part of that goal is the design, but the other portion is how the design is formatted.

So it is important that you know how to identify a vector logo vs. raster logos. You need to understand what benefits and challenges you might face and how you can prevent any problems which may arise in the future, because how your logo is created today will directly influence your ability to use it tomorrow. So when you do it once, you must make sure you get it done right the first time.

So how do we know what graphic format will be the best for your logo?

And how can we tell the difference between a vector logo vs a raster logo?
