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

what is the "science" behind Vice City art style which adds so much sovl to it. Is it just a color palette? It has that 80-90s japanese cartoon vibes in in
Neon vibes, man. Totally rad.
Neon vibes, man. It's iconic.
>>458112>>458113Neonmind?
>>457581>80-90s japanese cartoon vibesare you looking at the same art I'm looking at or what? cause it ain't that at all.
>>457581it simply has huge inspiration from miami vice and just the 80s in general, also yeah idk what you're fucking talking about with the "japanese cartoon" thing, in short the 1980s was the best time to be an adult with a chip on your shoulder in an amazing economy, where all companies were over the top and weren't shit quality
>Company handed out this software for free>Fully functional, no paywall>Decided it must be a scam and didn't trust the company>Retards installed the update>Surprise, surprise, got baited and switched to a subscription called Linearity Curve with no refunds>Still have the original Vectornator, works perfectly. >Was clever and got free software out of the scamAnyone else or am I the only one who didn't fall for it?
Hahaaaaa same! I knew that bullshit was coming so I was wary of every update notification. It wasn't crashing so I never updated.
Former designer at Bloomberg Businessweek and The New York Times. Now, she does "design goodness" for Homer, Frank Ocean's design magazine.She apparently got ahead being a minority woman who makes designs that "challenges the power old, white men have over every day [non-white] people," and people laud her for it. Is she the real deal or just a DEI LARP?
>>458273>this isn't about me hiring her. it's about the fact that she can get hired as an art director in a shitload of big companies, by using her mediocre portfolio + amazing sales skillsWhat a psychopath you are! You’re literally proving what I’ve just said. But not only that, you’re also making an apology for all the impostors out there and the poor state that we’re in right now, when apparently, a large social media following corresponds to that person having true artistic grace. It’s people like you that that have degraded this industry to a mere opportunistic, nepotistic, and egomaniacal pool of personalities—designers with no portfolios. When in reality, it should be the opposite, since design is one of the few industries that can implement meritocracy hierarchically.>CEOs, COOs, HR departments and so on, don't know shit about design.It’s the creative director, art director, or lead product designer that decides who gets hired, not the C-level, nor the HR grunts who only filter out résumés based on keywords.>but act like a weird antisocial incelBecause that’s how interviews work in real life, just like in your Hollywood soap operas, right? Designers sperging out the moment they walk through the door or answer the phone: I am a designer, Dr. Han! Or couldn’t you argue without a gratuitous insult?>who's gonna use buzzwords to describe how her designs speak to the zoomer consumer mindsAnd you dare call me the one with brainrot?! I’m curious how low can you bend without a backbone.You could even blind test this if you really wanted to, and I’m sure that any staff designer would bin her application without a second thought.
>>458684>It’s the creative director, art director, or lead product designer that decides who gets hired, not the C-level, nor the HR grunts who only filter out résumés based on keywords.And who hires those creative or art directors, buddy? It's not always people being promoted from the inside. Especially when it's big brands that want to rebrand or go into a different direction. They hire "big/renown designers" like her.>Because that’s how interviews work in real life, just like in your Hollywood soap operas, right? Designers sperging out the moment they walk through the door or answer the phoneIf you browse this board or other GF forum, you'll obviously see that people who complain about hacks like Tracy Ma, are usually young people with nonexistent social skills, that believe that if they just have a good enough portfolio, that's going to be good enough to succeed in a career. It's a slight overlap with CS students, which are infamous for being spergs. I agree that the industry is shit and nepotistic, but I'm trying to be realistic and give actual advice to people who want to get hired in this industry. People skills and charisma are almost as important (sometimes even more important) than your actual portfolio. Companies only care about a single thing: profit and profit only. If hiring a designer like her can market their products better, then they'll do it. They don't give a single fuck about how the design looks like. They don't give a fuck about the industry, and they don't give a fuck about your portfolio or if you deserve your job. They only want more $$$I guess that's the problem about being republican: you have so much trust in corporations about doing the right thing, and you're brainwashed from birth to believe that billionaires are amazing people that worked had for their wealth, and should rule the world.
>>458272Fact. It's not even a racial thing. It's down to actual Chinese culture. They're encouraged to fit into an insect hivemind way of thinking so that creativity is crushed early on. China would be NOTHING right now if it weren't for intellectual property theft.
>>458697Ai Weiwei wants you to dm him. He thinks your ideas are really interesting.
>>458692>I guess that's the problem about being republican: you have so much trust in corporations about doing the right thing, and you're brainwashed from birth to believe that billionaires are amazing people that worked had for their wealth, and should rule the world.The election had such a detrimental effect on your frail mental state that you're still buck broken by it, weeks later. Despite not having any link to it, no reference made to it, nobody even coming close to mentioning ANYTHING political, yet here you are seething about your imaginary enemies in a thread about design hacks and their bullshit jobs.Here's a tip: next time you project your frustrations online, take into consideration the possibility that the person you're talking to isn't even American, let alone a member of your boogie-man party, so maybe don't sperg out like a moron?>and you're brainwashedJFL!
No Jaguar thread? What in the actual fuck.
>his website has absolutely 0 design work>twitter has absolutely 0 design work>only references to past apple employment where he seemingly did nothing with design>picked to design for a multi billion dollar companylol
How the fuck is this real?! Whoever greenlit this needs to be sued immediately.

>>458708why are you so surprised lol4channers are just incels that fall non stop for russian propaganda
Erm sweetie a logo is not a brand mkay.
Share designs and graphics utilizing noise.
>>458699>low effort shit :|>low effort shit, noise or some other digital or analogue artifacts texture :O
>>458699I have to admit, most noise-related designs haven't aged that well...I absolutely loved noising the shit out of everything 5 years ago, but now I'm so careful with it.
How do I cope knowing that the best logo ever is ruined by a retarded ideology?Nothing comes even close to the swastika. It makes me depressed to the point of giving up logos completely.
>>458255There's etnocacerismo it's like nazism except it's Incan nationalism
>>458255Give it another generation or two. The last holocaust survivors are dying off and without people who were actually there to tell us "never forget" the Nazis will be as relevant to us as the Mongols or Ottomans and they symbol will come back.
Grow up retarded bitch
>>458255>retarded ideologykys retard
>>458255Swastika goes hard because of the nazis, not despite them, hope that clears it up
I do collage art.1/?
>>458648>too fuzzy>proceeds giving a non-answerhow about naming a few of them books, then? what is there even to learn from your message? lol>100% confidencealright, alright. but don't you think arguments or explanation to be missing here? should we be thankful for your perspective in this??
>>458658>how about naming a few of them books, then?http://lmgtfy2.com/?q=books+on+design+composition>what is there even to learn from your message? lolthe second part where I mentioned breaking down the composition of different art pieces, and looking at the balance and composition>>458658>alright, alright. but don't you think arguments or explanation to be missing here? should we be thankful for your perspective in this??you should indeed. but I guess you're right also, I forgot to mention in what case my advice was important. if you're doing this just for fun/as a hobby, then go ahead, take all the drugs you want. but if you want to become a professional graphic designer, then treat it as a job. working or learning under the effects of substances is unprofessional and the sign of a deadbeat going-nowhere person.
>>458601OhDo you?
I have a question that I can't find the right thread for.I need to make a collage what style of background is this?Just monochromatic repetitive shadow as a background, AI is not even close to getting this style idk what to tell it.

>>458636like every important term, this one also changed in meaning during history.it clearly has a trajectory (momentum), as well as a state (position).so while we are *obviously* not talking quantum mechanics, Schrödinger's idea of "uncertainty" to a degree still holds in defining this word:as soon as we start describing its flow, we start missing the momentary *snaps* essence. as soon as we start describing the most precise of snapshots, we miss its origin, development, and -most importantly- its future.of course additionally the term should always be understood as describing a whole *category of things* rather than a *unified, simple, monolithic object*. in other words are we dealing with a sort of heterogeneous hyperobject, BOTH in time AND space. so be broad but vague, or precise but local about it? the best shot at experiencing what design is, is by experiencing it oneself.and yet. (again) of course we all know that. because why would we otherwise keep asking this question???maybe the good designer has to always be interested in philosophizing about it, even if it will never be ultimately answered (probably).Comment too long.

Something people used to do before AI replaced them.
making functional arrangements of shapes, visual communication as an occupation, typically in conjunction to another computer skill (ux, web dev, print, vfx).>>458641imagine if a bricklayer, framer or a carpenter acted like this
It's ugly. It's the ugliest shit you could possibly make.99% of homophobia is due to this abomination. If the gay flag were cool, if the colors actually complemented each other, if it had some cool lesbian animal symbolism or something like that people would LOVE the gays.I try to tell this to people but they're in denial
>rain BOWLiterally one defining physical characteristic and they get it wrong
>>458656>ouchbro, it isn't your fault your mom never loved you. we feel for ya.
>>457131a flag with a noose crossed or intertwined with a shotgun would be good.
>>458689hah. gottem.

>>457779>There isn't even a thread on /gI think you're looking for /wdg/, no?Also, I'm not sure if you've tried this but some of the plug-in developers respond to emails so that may be worth a shot. I had a question about a fairly obscure plug-in and the creator replied within the hour.
So nostalgic!
good thread
All those designers, where are they now? What are they doing now?
Woah
