>Can somebody photoshop X? Can somebody make me a logo?
All requests for photoshopping belong on /wsr/ - Worksafe Requests or /r/ - Adult Requests. /gd/ doesn't take requests or do free or even paid work sometimes. However, if you're new at something, asking "HOW can I X?" rather than "CAN YOU make X?" will give you better results.

>Can I post some of my work for critique?
There is usally a critique/What-Are-You-Working-On thread, and that is where work for critique go.

>Can somebody find [font]?
http://www.mediafire.com/download/027xjs3ujvyqxmd/Fonts.zip
also check out your local torrent site or the font-share thread.
Remember to share and not just take. Also remember that using liscensed fonts in commercial works is a bad idea.

WebM is a container format that allows many codecs such as VP8, VP9, AV1 and soon AV2.
WebPiss is an image format that already getting destroyed by JPEG XL and AVIF in all fronts: quality, compression and features.

Because it's new.
AVIF is from 2019, JPEG XL is from 2021, these formats don't have decades of widespread adoption like PNG and JPEG.

>>452663

-and once you accept that, the fact that >>453573 doesn't comment exclusively
"about his art style" makes perfect sense; all of that extraneous bullshit is camouflage for having no cohesive "art style" that is independent from monkey dance "edgy" pandering to zoomer poltard fanboy sensibilities.

tl;dr:

His "art style" is disjointed sophomoric vapidity.

MDE used to be funny but Sam Hyde just makes me cringe with the 2hip4u attitude and having to be contrarian to everything. Dude never matured past high school.

Last april, i went to magadan in the far east. people were still driving old cars, and the cans around them had a gradient design with cyrillic letters. I wanted to live here. but soon i had to return to my home in south korea. in there, tradition has been killed. my feeling at the time is that i want to send some mail with the charger to airport, university.
Flat design ruined my life, and annoying me until death. flat design based on pragmatism and materialism.everyone loves the old skeuomorphism, but it's crazy that flat design still exists today.

Doesn't look like a real metal band or album cover. Probably some shitty zoomer "I have no interests or personality so please invent one for me" clothing company.
The logo and art have a different look to them which comes across as amateur. I guess that's morphed into a fashion style now, sort of like spastic anime covers that mix english and japanese. But the coarseness to the main picture still seems cheap, you can tell a better image was run through some vectorizer.
If you're a metal fan you'll feel that the logo style doesn't particularly match the exploitation/horror art style of the main picture.
Also somewhat vaginal.
In short, disgusting.

>them zoomers
stamping around vector geometric and splatter and foliage brushes and and patterns with random gibberish dafont fonts text and 3d renders interspersed just because you could around 2000-2008 was just as meaningless substance-less fluff "graphic art"

lots of people get into "graphic design" not so much for the utilitarian & business side of it but to be able to make pretty pictures and collages
