Submission Policy
Do not post spec work, spec contests, links to logo creation sites etc. Legitimate (contractual) hiring posts are permitted but we also recommend: /r/forhire; /r/jobs; /r/picrequests -- Posting spec work of any kind will result in a ban from the subreddit.
Do not post your own work solely for the purpose of critique. Inspirational professional work/technique submissions only, low-scoring (non-inspiring) posts of this nature may be removed. No critiques or critique requests in titles, /r/design_critiques and /r/logo_critique services these with a great community that are willing to tear shreds out of your work. /r/idesignedthis is a new community just for showing off design work. Don't just self-promote
Do not request free design consultancy. e.g. I'm a non-designer that needs help, what direction should I take my project in? This also includes help vectorizing a raster logo, help with your non-profits poster etc. You can ask /r/picrequests for those type of things.
Do not post memes, including established memes, trending memes, advice animals, image macros, rage comics, comics, pics-with-text, email, smartphone and facebook screencaps etc. See /r/designmemes if that's your thing.
No unsanctioned bots. All detected bot comments and posts will be removed and the account banned with prejudice.
Read reddiquette &
selfpromotion
No typeface identification requests. Use /r/identifythisfont instead.
Posts that break these rules may be removed without warning. Please report any posts which break these rules, to maintain the quality of the subreddit.
