Either way I'll try to request an invite. If people are using it maybe I can use it to drive some traffic.
I am a designer myself (primarily an illustrator), and this hipster design trend is pretentious as fuck.

Look at this shit, how can you make the simplest fucking design into something pretentious and complex:

Found this via this same designer... 'modern' graphic design is all about 2d / simplicity. I like that. But this designer is ultra simple... Also nothing wrong with that. But don't make it out to be rocket science when it's just slapping together a few shapes and letters! Check out this ultra pretentious essay-long argumentation of trying to sell a simple shit logo by coming up with arguments and explanations... Looks like 'graphic designer' is becoming less and less a real designer and more and more a professional bullshitter!
