>Can somebody photoshop X?

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.zipalso check out your local torrent site or the font-share thread.Remember to share and not just take.

What's this genre?I want to find out who created this image but it's not even on tineye.I want more of this, where are the graphic artists who make this style?

I need the album "Pillowhead"By 'dynamite Hack'
Should I learn Photoshop or Illustrator first?I know both are practically essential, but which is better to learn first?
>>462590> Is also is useful for a lot of different jobs.yeah. If you're going for frontend for example, simply knowing Illustrator increases your hireability tenfold.
>>459532>free website and logo designFree? I need both so hell yeah, sounds gre....>Zarnab RashidNvm
>>459488GIMP and Inkscape
>>459734that's how I did it too, for me it was just practicality of use. I wouldn't call myself a graphic designer but I dabble in a bunch of shit and that is the order of how often I use those programs
>>459488You don't need to 'learn' software. You need to learn design. What do you want to do? Start with a task. Like 'branding for a space travel company' or 'website for making street signs'. Look at what people usually require for such jobs and make it in whatever tool you want. You'll learn software while you gonna working on the task. Solving the problem should be first, software is secondary.
It’s time to redo my portfolio and I’m looking for some inspiration. I’m a usability/product designer, but I’ll take any ideas. What are your favorite portfolios? Or share yours if you dare.
What is the catch? And how does it stand against GIMP?

>>462577I don't trust canva
>>463010then go on and design your shitty graphics in gimp.
>>463010Affinity requires an internet connection and a login in order to be used.Maybe your skepticism is justified after all. And sorry for being rude in the first place
It is great for 10 years alredy. Gimp has unusable UX. >>462577Surely Canva will do something to make money from Affinity purchase. But right now there is no reason not to use it.
Is it retarded to use fountain pens?
I like ink
>>460543Many people will recommend Chinese brands such as Jinhao. But, I would suggest either the Pilot Metropolitan or the Kakuno (they have faces). The Pilot pens are rather inexpensive and write smooth.
>>460180It's frustrating. Almost nobody uses them IRL and the two fountain pen forums and the subreddit have a demographic that usually angers me. I think the poster above is right that this "hobby" draws a higher-than-normal anxiety enthusiasts. >>462736The most annoying thing about fountain pens is that many dry out, whether within days or weeks or months. Therefore my primary suggestion is to get one that does not do this. To achieve this, get a screw-off style cap instead of a snap on/off cap (the snap mechanism requires the cap has tiny holes in it, to prevent a vacuum that would pull ink out). The best company for this is Platinum because they have a "Slip and Seal" technology that is known to keep the nib wet, even when stored unused for months. As a beginner I would suggest buying two Platinum Preppys, in in a fine and one in a medium. This should get you an idea of what it's all about with a cheap, reliable pen that is not going to annoy you. And they come with a little bit of ink.To upgrade this order slightly, get one or two converters to go with the preppy and some ink samples that appeal to you. Much of the joy in fountain pens is in playing with different ink colors, and converters allow you to swap colors with just a bit of cleanup in between.
>>462737are the noodlers inks in some way special or good? I like their designs but never tried the product itself
>>454720It's cool if you're a big fucking deal lawyer or CEO signing shit constantly. Otherwise, you just look like a weirdo. What are you people even writing with pens besides your signature and a date?
We're so back.

sorry, but it's true
>>463062Agreed.It's a more important skillset than ever and it's never been a more transferable skill from one job to another.But, the way schools teach it, as though being able to create a mediocre logo in 80 hours and having intermediate skills in InDesign/Illustrator is going to lead to a decent full time job, let alone a career has been kind of dead for a while. Definitely dead now.On reddit, you'll see whiny students/amateurs digging their heals in, arguing they shouldn't be expected to know HTML, or touch video editing, etc. Meanwhile every zoomer's learning this stuff so they can do YouTube or be a "creator". It was entitled and foolish fifteen years ago when designers would refuse to branch out of print design. Even at the time (I was a student then) peers and I would agree, the people trying to do only print are going to get rugged. Today, it's beyond absurd for someone to think they won't need to be versatile and learn every medium they can, and adjust to new tools regularly.Even prior to AI, GD seemed to me like a field you start out in, but graduate to other things by your late 20's. Whether it's video, web dev, etc. The GD skills carry over and give you a leg up in these, especially if you're going to create your own business one day. But GD in itself is like the digital version of a construction laborer.Now on the topic of AI: It's scaring a lot of people, but designers skilled in the adobe suite are in the perfect situation to take advantage of it if they get over their fears and dive into it. AI does amazing shit, while getting details wrong. They're the ones capable of editing those details. It also knocks out a huge amount of grunt work and makes "creative block" a thing of the past. Smart designers should be viewing AI as a gift from god. They've just been handed their own studio, basically. Image gen, is basically like having your own team of lower level designers working for you. Not to mention the learning abilities with it.
>>463070Questionable schools blowing smoke up clueless people's asses is a separate issue that existed even when commercial art as a standalone career was a fairly easy and profitable path to take with a seemingly endless supply of work to go around.Just like countless other trade school models that kind of thing exploded after WW2 with the GI Bill and continued with similar civilian educational loan programs long past a time when more workers were needed, and since the real goal of many operators was getting at that money and not placing people in jobs, much of the curriculum didn't keep up with the needs and trends in the industries that those schools ostensibly served.School has its place but just getting a certificate and expecting commercial design work to be there for the taking is the laziest, least creative and least adaptive approach to entering a field that is ALL about creativity and adaptation and hustling.Even to work as a teacher at art school, having completed art school doesn't necessarily mean crap.>“Art school for everyone everywhere” read one FAS ad, which ran in the back of magazines such as TV Guide and Life. For $200, or GI benefits, the student received large binders containing 24 lessons. >Charles Reid, who joined FAS in 1963 as its youngest instructor, noted that with the early lessons, students received a stock letter response according to their skill level...Uniquely, Reid started with FAS as a 15-year-old student, when his father bought him the course. He only completed eight of the original lessons, then abandoned the course, citing its difficulty.https://connecticuthistory.org/instruction-by-mail-the-famous-artists-school/

>>446976I use that jet brains font for everything
>>462984OK I tried it (made a POC with inkscape). It's hideous, the letters are there, obvious and they still bother. Not my cup of tea. Worth experimenting, thoug
>>449305how do you have such a shit camera in 2025?
Anyone have Monolisa 2.017, please?
Does anyone have a real otf copy of Söhne Mono that isn't just the ripped and converted web font? Need otf features
how would I edit this to have a realistic looking crack in it? I'm trying to troll my son
>>461916search google images for similar photos with cracks and broken pieces etc, once you find a few use yandex to get more, use the most realistic high-quality ones, with similar lightning and then copy paste it on top of your pic and blend it on photoshop there's tons of tutorials on yt, or just ask someone at /wsr/ to do a quick job
Put a real crack in it, and then lecture your son about how it's not okay to play with knives.
>>461916
>>461916Just tell him it dropped on the concrete floor and tip chipped off.
>>461916Chipped it, more realistic than a crack / metal fatigue and is just as bad for knife guys.
No need, it just werks.
>>462043>dopingwhy are my computer chips doing drugs???
it looks good on the sign
>>463082it looks good in general!super distinctive, while oozing 'lasting professionalism' and loudly screaming 'engineering'>they are not catering to the consumer market.
