How are some people getting paid 191k and I barely get 65k a year in a large Midwest city anons
>>453000>great design decisions that people appreciateAnd that appreciation translates to barely $65k. How do you market yourself and do you keep up with competitors/economic trends?
>midwestYou live in the Eastern Europe of the Americas, retard.
>>452961There are some people getting paid $65k a year and I only make $38k a year.
>>452961Your job sucks. Next post.
>>454376You guys are getting paid??
How do you get this effect/feeling (the trashy Hello Kitty vibe) for images? Is there an online tool?
What are some good online tools to cook images? I just get stock images of food lolI'd like to get lowfi graphics like you see on gen X punk shirts. Can't do it in Gimp really if treshhold doesn't do it.
>>453189Just scroll through a boomers facebook posts for inspiration
>>454068How does one do it?>look at inspirationa special kind of retard, no?
>>453189Looks like it was taken with a film camera. Look for an online tool that has filters that can emulate film effects, PicsArt has a ton of these if you grab a premium APK off some dodgy website. Not sure about PC platforms, there might be Lightroom presets if that's something you waste money on.
>>453189This is not good at all. You can use tiktok text and instagram filters to make this stuff.

some Martian territories
So the point of mars in this world is that it's first colonized by multiple different parties, countries, a few more private ventures and some more schizo ventures, and it has had a short point in its past where most of the polities on mars were semi-independent politically and during the 90's, with the collapse of the soviet union and the near collapse of the united states, it's decided that mars would be better off as a politically independent entity, and the colonies break off and form their own states, but they don't fully control all of mars, by 2001 most of the landmass is "unclaimed" and has minimal settlement, thus when the martian republic is declared the "terra incognita" which i am thinking was like international waters becomes the 3 territories of mars, like 70% of the planet and i was wondering does this flag give that vibe?
Oh shit, didn't realize this thread was up!Here's my design for Austria-Hungary's flag, based on an old poster showcasing the leaders of the Central Powers, along with their countries' flags.
>>453131looks gay
>>436245That's a very interesting image
>>453225not because of AI but because GDers are bunch a low balling, spineless, let me work for free please, dunce cap wearing cowards.you let managers devalue your craft too, fucking disgusting
>>453227>AI will never be able to match the spark of the human soul. Fpbp
>>453227>AI will never be able to match the spark of the human soul.You guys are making logos for base commerce. Spark of the human soul, Jesus Christ...
>>453225That's crap, and if that's better than what you're doing, stop making crap
>>454391I'm straight up not trying to be rude we've all made crap, and I've made plenty of crap. Before 2022, there were "free logo generator" sites that would make logos for free with templates that look just like OP and maybe even better.
Metro>=XP=Aero>Classic>Primitive(1,2)=MDL2>=Fluent
>>451542Like >>451571 said, 2 and 3 need to be swapped.Early Windows had brighter colors because the color palette was more limited on some PCs. The more pastel colors came with 98 and Me, when SVGA 24-bit color was the norm.
>>4515427 > XP > Vista > 95 > 10 > 11
>>451542win 7 classic had nice click sounds, didn't ship with dwm enabled and felt very snappyit was also simplistic and not overloaded with poorly functioning features, so it was better for workflow than 10/11obviously nothing beats macosx 10.6-10.7that was just and orgasmic beauty of ui/ux
>>454195This was true minimalism, succeeds at being visually appealing and not too distracting.Flatshitters today would never achieve doing something like this, as much as they try.
>>45154295, XP, 98/2000, then Windows 10.Windows 95 is really something else dude
Where do I get cracked ae plugins now?
>>454354Rutracker.org, 1337x.to, all the all-purpose public torrent sites. For the actual Adobe applications there's monkrus.ws, but there's probably no plugins there. Go to reddit r/piracy or some more specifically Adobe plugin focused subreddit and try to find some sites. Basically go googling or use normie sites.
Any there any alternative non-dead communities?
>>453986Will comment later. Enjoying the weekend
>>454031chad choice.have a great time!
>>454039>>453986A bit of a long weekend but here it goes: Yeah, it is a good podcast, I did not expect graphic designers to listen to it too, but it makes sense. This is the episode in question: https://open.spotify.com/episode/4QnDG5NvYA7O5PWNfa9LpFI do not agree with everything he says, like the endgoal being less important than the process. Both are important, but if you have low self discipline and too much stars in your eyes then this is a good book to set you straight and get you into the grind with a realistic/grounded vision. >no easy answer. maybe you have ideas to share?I can only give general advice but if you want something that applies to you as an individual then I can't help you because there are too many variables/I don't know what works for you. For me it has always been a gnawing desire to express the visions I have in my head and whenever I actually manage to succeed it feels really good. But raw desire is hard to manage and highly inconsistent, that is kind of why I like that book.>but you need all these other components This is why I also lift, meditate, manage my sleep/diet and try to develop more logical/left brain skills so that my machine/hardware/masculine part of me can manage more of my artistic feminine explosions of idiocy. I like the way you put it. I am a highly irrational being (relatively speaking) so balancing more with the rational can ironically get me to express more of my visions. I hope this helps?>much creativity but crashing every bend might in total actually look like less creativity than a mediocre one that one can actually consolidate.Yeah, that is me. Burnouts often. Less now.
>>454239yeah, I too think that process AND result are important!in dynamical systems theory there is the idea of the critical point (at which phase transition occurs).liquids are highly chaotic. they are movable and entropy increases in them quickly until homogeneity is reached - at which point potential energy is lost. the result is stale/dead.crystals on the other hand are highly ordered. so much so that no piece of it can easily be moved. the rigid lattice structure won't allow for any mobility, making it inept for life as well.complexity is an emergent property that arises inbetween these two extremes:at (or close to) said critical point, from which the system is allowed to spontaneously lean into any of the two states, if it so chooses. (through control and action)you can find this idea "unity of opposites" everywhere - even in most (all?) religions and spiritual schools; yin yang, syzygy, hieros gamos,... the higher level control mechanism is constantly being confronted with having to consider the lower-level drivers (which are mulishly pulling towards one of the phase states).a multi-agent system with you at the steering wheel.>this is where we find the human predicament.Comment too long.

>>454246That answer is more scientific/esoteric than expected, but appreciated. I will ponder about how to make this meta POV of yours connect to concrete actions.

>>449641this is nice but there isn't really that many y2k in there.
Does anyone have the Berkeley Mono (https://berkeleygraphics.com/typefaces/berkeley-mono/) full please?One was shared years ago on files.catbox.moe but the link has since expired.
>>449641this is so kind, thank you
>>454176https://files.catbox.moe/55jvt8.zipI downloaded this one from somewhere a month or two back, it had a broken grave (u0060 `, would overlap onto characters typed in certain places like Windows Terminal and vscode), so I went into fontforge and edited the character (Element>Glyph Info>OT Glyph Class> Mark --> Base Glyph).this is v1.008, not the newest v1.009 (couldn't find it anywhere)
Hey /gd/, anyone knows what typeface/font this is?Thanks
Not sure if this belongs here but since it's regarding photo manipulation (which counts as graphic design) I might as well try.So I like this genre of edits of women called "Natural/Modular Body Magic", which basically means that they look like they either had their heads magically removed or that they never had any at all but they can live just fine without them (like dullahans), but many of them are pretty shit so I wanted to make some good ones of my own, the problem is that there are no good tutorials online on how to make them, so I was wondering if you guys could guide me on how to make them.Pic related is more or less what I want to achieve, something that looks relatively natural and organic, rather than just a quick and sloppy MS paint job.
>>447445how many women have you killed already?I'm onto you, you sick fuck.
>>447446The bottom left one looks best imo. The same color as the skin with correct lighting for the angle, and the sharp clean edge makes it look like a barbie doll or a realistic android from the future. The other ones look like the couldn't actually be something real, just images. If you're going for amputated limb look then the left one in op looks the best.
>>450907pretty cool stuff man
lol i came here from ifunny just to laugh at you
>>454233Why would you admit to using that shithole??
I'm from the US and am on vacation in Europe and I bought this pate in the store earlier. I really dig the simplicity and color of the design.
>>453178>>453233Those are some of my favorites. Yeah, something about the yellow I guess lol.
I love these. Picked some up when i was in germany.
>>452131Brilliant design
>>452037This packaging and product was so ahead of its time.
>>454343feeling this. never seen it in the US
The #1 Reason i now hate this fucking JOB >I'm a recluse introvert i just want to sit in a dark room & make shit i don't want to become a faggot for a retarded audience
>>454114found the dumb ass cunt post!!!!!! yay! now fuck off
>>454112>i don't want to become a faggot for a retarded audienceWhy not? Consider it as baiting and trolling and say outrageous opionated opinions in public for free engagement.
>>454112no difference reallyit's all just bafflegab and busy workfor faggots and queers and women but I repeat myself
>>454275This image pisses me off. Well-done by the author.
>>454115But the culture is pozzed and worthless
Looking forward to be a Freelancer Graphic Designer and Blender Artist.I'm a 19 years old male, I decided to not attend to college because In my point of view, it's just not worthy it, paying thousands for something you can learn online. Here is my problem though, I don't know where I should start. I feel like I'm not confident enough, and I don't know many places where I could capitalize over my work.I'm currently working at my family's business, but it's so annoying having to work with public, and being at a family's business doesn't make you feel like you are independent. Which is what I'm looking forward to be.It's been hard since everyone tries to push me into college, because in their mind, college = easy life. And I really don't bother getting minimum wage as long, I'm doing something that I enjoy.

What are some good collaborative sketching/drawing services or applications?Personally I'm looking for something that'll work as a graphical version of google docs, similar to flockdraw or ziteboard with decent tools for sketching, support for text and large canvases, as well as the ability to embed pictures and possibly gifs, ideally free/open-source or self-hosted.But feel free to share other related tools, anything you think is good.
>>454260the free ones i’ve used are Magma, Malmal/HelloPaint, and Drawpile. i believe they all allow public and private boards with varying graphic tools but Magma seems the most encompassing. if it’s for like corporate purposes there’s stuff like microsoft whiteboard as well
>>454260opencanvas if its still around
Hey anons, i have a selfish request. This is an exterior design of a house I plan to build. Without changing the proportions too much is there any way you could make it look more cool and aesthetic? Im not sure what but i feel like something is missing from it looking very cool, rich and futuristic.I hope this is the place to ask. Thanks in advance my NwordsNote: the big windows are North-west facing
>>454293op has an architect!!
>>454292nice gas station pumps
>>454287>Just enough to get the bag and get girls>>454268>im barely scraping by so no cash moneySooo, i'm guessing you are no hit with the ladies either, huh?
>>454265You're not white…
>>454333Checked.But false actually i have a gf and many girls want to marry me because im stable, have a future and plans and a nice family>>454334False, im pretty much as white as they come, im in EU btw
Is there an easy way to replicate the image degredation from repeatedly copying/faxing a document? Ideally this would be for PDF files, but any format would be better than nothing.
>>453902>downsizing would actually help you achieve degradation>i guess i'm not really understanding what the issue isNo shit, it works in in exactly the opposite way; reducing the size of an image is how line art and other images are cleaned up and an integral part of the process of creating art for print media back in the day.Easiest way to imitate copy/fax machine degradation digitally is to mess with light values, contrast, exposure, etc , since most photocopying artifacts and distortions are the result of the actual photographic part of the process and strong light was what allowed them to reject all but text and other deliberate markings....every generation was slightly overexposed and the contrast boosted so details like fine lines, dots and sharp corners would gradually melt away.At the same time, if you adjusted the machine darker to pickup those details any small dark areas, erased pencil lines and even the shadows of paper texture would get reproduced, and subsequent attempts to lighten them back out by re- copying with higher contrast wouldn't get all of them, leaving characteristic splotchiness.
each time the ink prints it’s not a digital process nor is the scanning it’s analog to digital in the scan and digital to analog in the printing so you would find the physics of the scanning process then simulate it and same for the printing, simulate the analog printingwith those 2 filters it’s an iterative process for each and the number of iterations increases the effect of scanning then printing, taking the output and repeating the process That’s how you would make an accurate fx or plugin or whatever but you can just jank it using photoshit
Try the app "LOWER" w the yellow icon :P
>>453663Yes.
>>454315Just to be clear, xerography is not an inherently digital process and doesn't use ink...it uses an electrically charged drum or belt to selectively attract a dry powder toner to desired print areas, that is then thermally fused to the paper printing substrate.It's more analogous to how powder coating works than printing and the less than precise nature of how it translates the source image to a static charge as well as the resolution available with the mechanical properties of the toner are part of what gives it its characteristic look and generational loss of detail and artifacting.The fact that xerography *isn't* digital is part of why it can be difficult to replicate convincingly using digital technology and digitally created files that tend to pixelate and show other obviously digital artifacts when deliberately degraded in a digital process.
