Since this board is functionally dead, we of the broader game development community of 4chan formally request that this board be converted into /gd/ - Game Development. The >>>/vg/agdg/ thread alone gets around the same number of posts per DAY as this entire board gets per YEAR. Graphic Design can remain as a regular general on this board if the few remaining posters here wish for a place to come back to.

If this change would go through, we request that code_tags be enabled for this board. Also if possible, any relaxing of webm limitations would be greatly appreciated (filesize and audio) as we're always having to fight these limits when posting footage of our games.

what do you do if you're good at editing stuff but you don't have any ideas?
if someone tells me to do something specific I almost always know how to achieve whatever effect they want but whenever I try to compose an image by myself without anyone requesting anything of me I feel like all of the creativity has been sapped out of me and I can't even compose a simple image

I'm pretty much the same. What works for me is starting to work on something that I personally like, and don't think about commercial appeal at all. There has to be something that you really enjoy: anime, video games, movies, whatever. Even if it's clichee or weird, just try to make something you personally think it's cool.

Once the ball starts rolling with that project, it's easier to work on other projects as well

mean? haha
maybe a bit blunt.
but what if my words still carry truth, eh?
don't you agree that *an interesting person* with *above average intelligence* would naturally have somewhat interesting ideas? how does shit work, if not like that? have you ever seen an actually interesting person? it is a delight even just watching them prepare breakfast eggs...
defaulting to "anyone questioning the interestingness of my life and/or sharpness of my brain is mean" honestly seems like a good starting point for entitlement and overall dullness. you are not special-by-default! and there is no reason for an anon to treat you like you were.

also, how could I already be seriously *mean* to you?
seems like calling chinese cookie manufacturers "friendly" for calling you a lovable person with their anonymous mass production commodity(?)
what do you want to hear? coming up with unique shit is hard and requires a unique person...

Any tips for adding logos to a map like this? I found it easy to add the blue background, but with the big text logos across multiple panels, I would have to divide them up and don't really know where the pieces will match. I'm using Paint.net, any help appreciated.

the fuck is paintnet?
most 3d modelling shits will let you move your image in the properties bar.

also, you got this far you can learn to crop and cut graphics.

also, shit design for a car.

Can you post the map without the logo and the logo separately? I want to try something.

>>463400 Paint.net is great if you don't want to install heavier programs like Photoshop. I think it has enough features for most people. It might be too limited for OPs case though

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.

"evil" kind of strikes me as a child's word. but fine -I don't want to call him "not evil", so it's whatever.
"stupid" is clearly incorrect, tho. any historian will agree that the beginning of his actions involved intelligent strategizing and decision making, which dramatically deteriorated later on. (likely due to side effects from heavy drug abuse)

"bad art"
I would like to hear about your exact metric there. I argue that "not good enough for artschool" doesn't equate to "bad"? kind of seems like an oversimplification again?

nitpicking like this is what a child does.

anyone putting people on trains to be gassed is evil. is that a problem for you?

in fact, a belief system that included subordinating and being inhuman to other humans is fucking stupid.

drug abuse is likely the only thing he did that was acceptable, unlike fucking and killing his niece.

not good enough for art school seems like a really good definition for bad, frankly.

perhaps trying to shoehorn hitler into being anything other than a fucking idiot bitch is the oversimplification. go jerk off to kanye.

>nitpicking like this is what a child does.
you mean nitpicking about some of the most influential historical times, that are being investigated and researched to this day because the details matter that much? lol

>anyone putting people on trains to be gassed is evil. is that a problem for you?
does your memory just overflow before reaching the sixth sentence? I specifically said I won't be calling em "not evil" -.-
and still it is a ridiculously childish descriptor, that means different things in different contexts. from their own view they were fighting "evil" by instrumentalizing words exactly like that one. in fact defining something as evil somehow generally seems to allow people to pull off humanities biggest crimes, idiot

>in fact, a belief system that included subordinating and being inhuman to other humans is fucking stupid.
of course it is. doesn't make the people who almost pull off its implementation unintelligent. in order to get *this far* with something *stupid like that* you have to be somewhat clever about it...
(and btw it is generally a good idea to not underestimate opponents by principle. you just turn your head and suddenly a trump is in power...)

It does the same thing with web screenshots, distorts the text because the retarded fucking thing can't just function on pixels internally. It maps some sort of ppi setting and then it comes out with whatever resolution. What use is that? I just use GIMP and despite its shortcomings I've never once had to deal with such retardation.

Yep, this morning I go to pull out, back into the side snow bank. Snow jammed under the car, no tire contact, can't get out. Stuck in the driveway. Late. Can't get there. Felt it last night, now it's doing it. All I had to do is back straight out. It's not going to let me have this job.

>Who is this man?

DID YOU JUST ASSUME MY GENDER???

I feel like I’ve wasted 15 years of my life, and my career has led me nowhere. At 35, I should be at my peak in terms of earnings and health, yet I’m a nobody. I keep ending up in shitty companies where I’m expected to do everything while getting paid less than gate keeper. For the past 10 years, I’ve designed websites, logos, mobile apps, print materials, books, t-shirt prints, labels, packaging, product photography, social media content, 3D designs, modeling, animation, and simulations. If I had focused on one thing from the start, I’d be an expert in a specific field by now and making decent money. Unfortunately, the harsh truth is this: if you are able to do anything that means you are good at nothing. When there are job listings for simple graphic work, they don’t want someone with 5+ years of experience. If they do want someone with 5 years of experience, they expect an expert in one particular niche. Today, no one even wants to spit in my direction. No one is looking for a 35-year-old guy who has done everything (but nothing specific) because they have 100 young, dynamic grads fresh out of college to choose from. The competition in the big city is just too strong. For the past 5 years, I’ve been working from home part-time, and somehow manage to pay the rent. The MS diagnosis broke me. Depression, no friends, far from family, always making excuses. If it weren’t for my wife earning well and help from my in-laws, I’d have nothing. It feels like everyone around me is doing fine, earning well, and building great careers - except me. I’m feeling down, I’m sick of this fucking city and its weather. I just needed to get this off my chest.

OP update: I was looking for a job over 4 months. Found something kind of related to my skills. Office looks like shit, medium money, flexible hours, boss with ADHD, doing social media, product photography and bunch of shit not related to my experience but at least I am able to pay the bills. Not good not bad.

>>
>>463772
That's really not true. Most people just "go to work" and don't really do much and play WoW all day and then get paid. And the ones that don't just "go to work" and move bricks and shit and still get paid. Very little thought required.
