Learn adobe illustrator.
Esp rotate, transform, pathfinder (lesrn what every button here does)
Learn some math especially basic geometry, ratios.

Replicate the five youve posted here. Dont do them free hand, do them pixel perfect.

Row 2, column 1 will be easiest to start with.

Create circle
Duplicate it, put second circle straight under
Select both of them
Rotate 60 degrees and make a copy

illustrator is really a shit program for anything that approaches actual 'drafting' which is the level youre aiming for to really get geometry.
honestly, may as well go get a compass and a straight edge

True, only upside of Affinity is that you get 3in1 for free. Photoshop is still better than Affinity Photo.
>>
>>462754
who is 'they' in this scenario?
>>
The only catch with Affinity (as of current v3 release under Canva) is that it require a Canva account as formality when you first install it, it won't ask login again. If you're paranoid enough with muh data, you can opt out on setting, or even firewall block Affinity installation folder.

Feature wise, Affinity can totally replace Ps, Ai, and Id workflow; except Ps animation and some specific non-destructive editing. It's funny that companies willingly getting squeezed by Adobe subscription knowing that Affinity could handle the project for free now, with less performance bloat.

t. user since v1, and finally accepted that Canva's v3 actually an improvement over Serif's v2

Why is gimp so terrible and no good a alternative has popped up that is free open source and works on Linux? You’d think with something like blender there would be something as good but for graphic design.
Does Krita count?

Is gimp controlled opposition to be a bad software so people give up and go for the paid for ones or at least go for affinity now?

How well does the affinity suite run on winboat?
>>
>>463630
have you tried krita? not the same as pohotoshop and originally intended as drawing software, but it does many things better than gimp does.

might be enough for your needs. you should give it a try.

Best FICTIONAL sports team logos?

Have you seen The Last Boy Scout? The logo helmet for fictional NFL team the Stallions opens the movie and perfectly foreshadows a black all-star receiver opening gunfire against white defensive chads in a hyperbolic floodlight downpour lensed by Tony Scott, and then the receiver suicides after muttering "Ain't life a bitch?" In the original screenplay, he suicides by saying "I'm going to Disneyland" but imho that line would be fantasy overkill compiled with the Stallions high test minimalist animal logo.

Aesthetic is why Last Boy Scout btfo Any Given Sunday's similar fictional pro leagues setting and attitude

*botanically* there is no such thing as a vegetable and tomatos are fruit.
>doesn't mean you shouldn't ever call a tomato a vegetable in *culinary* settings...
even though the outer covering of a tree is called "bark", it can also refer to the noise a dog makes. words are (ambiguous) pointers through context, not the phenomena they refer to.

*physically* white is not a color because every color can be created by using a single (pure) frequency of light; color is a measure for *absence of some of the usual "white" (sun light) frequencies*.
>doesn't mean you shouldn't ever call your titanium white oil paint a color in *artistic* settings...

people who cannot accept the functional everyday categorization of a *tomato as a vegetable* are obviously equally retarded as those who cannot accept the functional categorization of *white as a color*.
in both cases they are posturing by blindly repeating words of an "authority".
>how could I touch your dog when *physically* atoms are 99,99% empty space and there was no matter in contact reeeeeeeeeeeeee

this whole debate is fucking retarded. fighting against an arbitraty categorization by insisting on another is stupid. but please also accept that your ignorance of how physics works still doesn't make white a color either -.-

How would you apply a glitch effect like this to text and images?

Glitch effects like this are (and I am trying to achieve) seemingly random, asymmetrical, etc. Is there particularly techniques or tools to do something like this, or is it just a pain in the ass "do each bit one by one" sort of deal?

Ultimately I don't want something as extreme as this, something much more minor (just for a single line of text really) so my first thought as a retard is to just go in to paint and shift a few lines of pixels left or right
>>
Displacement maps. Also if you can ask here, you can use google to get a much more refined answer by just searching "glitch effect how to in (whatever program)"

Im assuming youre a zoomer and dont know google exists, in which case, die

There's different types, the best ones are made for posters or titles from scratch by experimenting with typography and even programming or drawings, example:
https://vimeo.com/118998266

The ones you posted are kinda generic, if you want to learn just download premade from psdkeys or creativemarket and dissect them either on photoshop or aftereffects, for Ae you can stack all crazy effects and animate them pretty easily.
>>
>>462551
if you want to have procedural control I really like using TouchDesigner for these. And as said above, displacement. You will also need to do the chromatic aberration effect. You can separate your color image into RGB and then slightly transform them and recombine.

Yes. "Canvaslop" is a dumb name. But it's the only thing I can really call it. I fucking hate this shit so much. Words cannot describe how much I want to grab the bellend(s) who started this bandwagon of diarrhoea and reduce them to a red smear on the pavement. I want them rotting in fucking hell.
