>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.

so I made this "poster" and I want to know what do you think overall?
and do you recommend any other font or should i edit my typography differently?
>>
I ran out of financial aid and had to drop out without a solid understanding of InDesign. I want to work in UI/UX design.

How fucked am I?
>>
>>281998
straight up, its terrible.

but I can tell your a beginner. Nearly everyone starts with getting a photo, poorly tracing it and doing some good old standard brush coloring.

the type, go much simpler. Its tempting to use something "designery" but even Arial would look better. The stylised S in that font looks dumb.

You need to work on your illustration skills

or use a more basic art style until you can draw better.

newfag to gd here, but why is it considered bad? Because it's a recognizable font? Or because it's over used?
>>
>>281403
Because it's become associated with bad taste after being randomly slapped on everything for the last few years
>>
>>281406
>>281403
Like what happened to comic sans. Not op, but do you know exactly what it's been slapped on? Please tell me it wasn't a grave, or a lost pet sign...

Any of you make your own icons for anything?
(Skype, Steam, Youtube etc.)

I love making icons because they are not forced to follow the same guidelines as logo creation but their still very simple.

Share and politely critique

all Adobe software quality is buggy shit hacked in india. Use Gimp instead. The sooner Adobe goes out of business, the better. They are a plague worse than Microsoft.

also if you even bothered to read the thread properly then you'd realize that this is somebody else's graphic shop, not mine. but I understand that your autism might be too mentally crippling for you to realize that though.

The design is modern is relevant. The copy and vocabulary is grade school level.

Whoever made this needs to hire a copywriter or try again when they stop playing Call of Duty and making montages.

Hello there.

How would you turn a person into stone using Photoshop?

I've been looking online but most tutorials are quite bad.

I get the whole "desaturate, apply texture", but that's just too basic for my tastes. And the hair, eyebrows and eyes look totally off.

Do you have any ideas?

I'm not looking for perfection, just something that gives the idea of a person being turned into stone.

Thanks in advance.
