>>452605Why is this aesthetic wrapped in with the Windows 8 "Metro" theme? They were not even in the same decade. The colorful/grungy and flat style was a thing of the mid to late 00s. Windows 8 was released in fucking 2012. The style was already dying by the time Windows 8 came. There was nothing in this style that look remotely related to Windows Metro. And why is "Frutiger" even in the name? It doesn't have anything in common with Aero other than being in the same decade.These names people are coming up with make no damn sense.
People who decided to 'own' these things to show their merit to the world as in 'educating' others are 'undergraduate art students', 'neets' and 'young, so don't have a recollection of things in a time span of a decade or two over 14 years ago but thats ok'.Do not expect them to do things like filtering Google results by a time range. Some of them are convinced that the truth is as good as the 'emotion it invokes', that's why the nonsense clustering and naming. They live in some timeless void where they are driven by emotional stimulus and attention.
fyi a gaanoo/linux now has a font manager, that is basically the same as nexusfont on windows or the macos built-in one, and also provides a font file viewer:https://github.com/FontManager/font-managerfeel free to discuss any other freetard design software that may have emerged or improved recently.krita looks like a much more ok replacement for photoshop than gimp at this point, including smart layers and free transforms, but can be a bit buggy.there seems to be nothing that can properly replace illustrator, adobe xd or affinity designer (inkscape has no concept of paragraphs, scribus is too procedural and hard to use for fast web/ui design iteration, the color picker lacks hsl and hsv) unfortunately, but you can prove me wrong.

no overarching themejust post stuff that you like and think other people might likebe it just because it looks cool or you think it's exemplary of what graphic design should strive to be

>>453978I don't really use pinterest, I just scan archives and dumps for magazines and collections and then pick through them
>>453978Sorry, I don't use Pinterest and only come to this board from time to time. Almost everything I have I get from 4chan and slsk
I have to design some "posters". One of those will have "facility rules" on it. Which font would you guys use for making it look like commie propaganda?Basically, tips and tricks to make some decent communist regime like propaganda posters.
>>453891With very few exceptions those kinds of posters use ALL CAPS and sans-serif block lettering that is intended to display strength, determination and brutal resolve, and tries way too hard. So much so that even if you can't read the lettering they are so over the top in both bold, blocky typeface and stark, in-your-face layout that you can't help but recognize the cliche for what it is.Basically nothing is a soft sell or an appeal to humanity or individual feelings and even things like letter spacing make few concessions to making anything easy or pleasant or persuasive...they are NOT asking you to think, they are ordering you to agree and OBEY.

>>454435>propaganda is propagandawho would've thought!
>>454154this. what would russians even get from western people fighting against each other?
>>454437Not all propaganda follows that template, dumbfuck; propaganda can be subtle, it can cajole and flatter and appeal to people's gentler nature as a means of manipulating them. Totalitarian collectivist propaganda as a rule does not take that approach, especialy once that rule is established. STFU and read a book.
How are some people getting paid 191k and I barely get 65k a year in a large Midwest city anons
>>452961There are some people getting paid $65k a year and I only make $38k a year.
>>452961Your job sucks. Next post.
>>454376You guys are getting paid??
>>452961GetABetterJob
>>452961that question largely depends on what your occupation actually is
>still can't measure distances between rulers and elements>still can't move rulers with keyboard>rulers still not snapping to anything>still can't adjust width of left and right menu>still no tabs>still not .exe to install the desktop appInstead we have css grid layout that literally no one asked for and no one will use due to above reasons and also because most designers dont know css and will do everything in their power to avoid learning it. Congratulations I'm actually impressed by how comically awful penpot is after literal YEARS of development. Anyway back to Figma.
>>454099>rulers still not snapping to anythingwow. Fuck everything about that.
>>454099current figma user here, I gave penpot a shot but it still kinda feels off, there are a few details that are quite significant for me like being able to click on a value and drag sideways to change and try it in real time instead of typing them manually
Make a pull request and fix it yourself, if it bothers you so much. Complaining about free software, baka.
Is MDE/Sam Hyde's current art style cool or embarrassing? Sincere and naive or ironic?
>>447629The stock is definitely in a downward trajectory. Only held up by sam being good at avoiding mainstream memes - these always die in cringe within long.He still slips up, like when he allows his team to dub the massively overrused black man exaggerated laugh audio (the "oh no no no" one) into his videos.Sam just isn't cutting edge any more, and he only focuses on perfecting what he sees as the peak of his aesthetic, and his advice giving internet dad persona. We don't need more of those. The only funny thing he's done in the last 5 years is the video from the boxing fight where he says he's coming for Hasan Piker "in real life"
>>447629World Peace graphics are still some of the best I've ever seen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kT8vPNsrACo
>>453813I forgot to mention the saddest part, these graphics were what Sam submitted that he made with Pomp&Clout but all the text and WP logos were erased and only the cast names left. Sad stuff.

ITT we post graphic designs related to transportation .Here's my city's transportation systems' graphic identity manuals (they're in spanish but you can use deepl).https://www.semovi.cdmx.gob.mx/storage/app/media/Manual%20MI.pdfhttps://www.semovi.cdmx.gob.mx/storage/app/media/Anexo%20Manual%20MI.pdf

How do you get this effect/feeling (the trashy Hello Kitty vibe) for images? Is there an online tool?
What are some good online tools to cook images? I just get stock images of food lolI'd like to get lowfi graphics like you see on gen X punk shirts. Can't do it in Gimp really if treshhold doesn't do it.
>>453189Just scroll through a boomers facebook posts for inspiration
>>454068How does one do it?>look at inspirationa special kind of retard, no?
>>453189Looks like it was taken with a film camera. Look for an online tool that has filters that can emulate film effects, PicsArt has a ton of these if you grab a premium APK off some dodgy website. Not sure about PC platforms, there might be Lightroom presets if that's something you waste money on.
>>453189This is not good at all. You can use tiktok text and instagram filters to make this stuff.
Metro>=XP=Aero>Classic>Primitive(1,2)=MDL2>=Fluent
>>451542Like >>451571 said, 2 and 3 need to be swapped.Early Windows had brighter colors because the color palette was more limited on some PCs. The more pastel colors came with 98 and Me, when SVGA 24-bit color was the norm.
>>4515427 > XP > Vista > 95 > 10 > 11
>>451542win 7 classic had nice click sounds, didn't ship with dwm enabled and felt very snappyit was also simplistic and not overloaded with poorly functioning features, so it was better for workflow than 10/11obviously nothing beats macosx 10.6-10.7that was just and orgasmic beauty of ui/ux
>>454195This was true minimalism, succeeds at being visually appealing and not too distracting.Flatshitters today would never achieve doing something like this, as much as they try.
>>45154295, XP, 98/2000, then Windows 10.Windows 95 is really something else dude
Where do I get cracked ae plugins now?
>>454354Rutracker.org, 1337x.to, all the all-purpose public torrent sites. For the actual Adobe applications there's monkrus.ws, but there's probably no plugins there. Go to reddit r/piracy or some more specifically Adobe plugin focused subreddit and try to find some sites. Basically go googling or use normie sites.
