>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.

Photoshop masters!
for all your questions that do not deserve their own thread
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?
>>281998straight 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 skillshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvOX9nQgXusor use a more basic art style until you can draw better. >>281969Comment too long.

Anybody here familiar with Adobe Muse? I'm trying to make a portfolio but it's giving me a really hard time to work with the lightboxes it provides, help would be really appreciated.
How do i recreate the grunge effect like pic related? I tried the blendmodes in ps with a concrete texture and some text but it didnt look like pic related.
>>281990i know it's a slow board, but i'm bumpin, cause i really need help right now
>>281990Looks like a mask, not a blend mode.
Can someone help me identify this font?I see it alot it poster for pastries and sweets but haven't found which is it.
>>281323newfag to gd here, but why is it considered bad? Because it's a recognizable font? Or because it's over used?
>>281403Because it's become associated with bad taste after being randomly slapped on everything for the last few years
>>281406>>281403Like 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...
>>281317it looks like Sign Painter font

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
I guess you could say this is an icon?
>>282010long shadow...
>>282010*whatlong shadow.
Do you mean the style or what?Cause yeah it's quite obviously a shadow...
Flat Shadow / Material Shadow
Anybody got a link to free Photoshop?
If you can't find it yourself, you won't know how to fucking use it.
>>280375all 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.
>>280375there is a knockoff of it called pixlr editor that is pretty good its free btw
>>280408Man, gimp sucks balls
>>280375Kid Pix?

>>281981
>>281981enjoy
please rate his graphic design shopkinggfx.net
>>281977>KYSunderage b&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.
>>281976The 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.
>>281976Squarespace offers designs similar to this one.
Oh look, it's that Wordpress theme again.
lol damn did not expect this many people to shit on this shop, this was actually one of the best (if not, the very best) graphics shop on a forum.which shop would you guys personally recommend for me to purchase graphics from instead
It's time to confront reality.I know how some of you folks here look to Murakami for GD inspiration or got into GD because muh superflat.Especially the hipsters out there. Oh, you poor incorrigible fools beyond this place...
>>281989what does this have to do with graphic design
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. Pic related.
