Bitmap
Adobe Photoshop

>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.

I think the UI looks more consistent that way. But yes, in AF2 you could switch between color and monochrome. It’ll probably come back with an update. I’ve already seen that complaint several times.

Then you should know that at the current year of 2023 graphic design is pretty much dead. I was a professional gd for almost 10 years working in both studios and on my own and I can't really find a job anymore. It's not even because of AI to be honest, its because of how the industry works and how bad the corporate environment has become.

There's still web design, 3D and VFX/motion design(primarily 3D too) and if you want something similar or easy to transition then chose one of those but I'm not sure for how long they will be relevant themselves because of the AI which is basically a final nail in the coffin of gd. Of course there are and will be exceptions and maybe you will get lucky to find some obscure local business that needs you, but if you are young and looking for a career in the future you should stop consider becoming a graphic designer. This profession is dead.

Guys i've just made an account on Upwork and getting my first client is way harder than i though it'd be. I can make really good YouTube Thumbnail, Book Covers, and other Graphic Design related stuff.
But selling it while competing with other freelancers on Upwork who have done way more jobs than me is really challenging.
Also on reddit with my (very first) new account i can't connect with other people to alteast promote my work.

Do you guys have any advice for me? I really need money, i've been unemployed for a year now.

I'll add some of my thumbnails here

First always make sure to use an online grammar tool like: https://quillbot.com/grammar-check

Also you sound desperate, you get hired by being confident, consistent, reliable and by helping others, joining communities and making connections, 4chan is the opposite of that.

Your thumbnails are too generic and outdated, just do what everyone else does and study/copy everything from these channels: MrBeast, Sidemen, RyanTrahan, Veritasium, Johnny Harris and MarkRober
>https://thumbnails101.com/inspiration

Once you have better work, you need a strategy and start marketing yourself, since you probably are clueless about that, just copy what other are doing, here's a basic example of what you should have in different formats, short for social media and large for emails etc. example https://sharetext.io/9fd0b3c1

0- A professional selfie
1- A short sentence about you
2- Link to previous works with social proof of how you solved creative problems with the results
3- Your services or the packages you offer
4- Deliverables and timeline

How can I fulfill my FLIR fetish? Asking here instead of /r/ because they couldnt answer this. I have a fetish for FLIR images plus women or stuff I find hot, but I like the additional layer. How can I make pics like this? AI can do it but not commercial AI accepts material that\s explicit or even lightly suggestive, defeating the point. Do I do this in photoshop? Do I use AI?

This is so specific that i'm willing to believe this is not a joke.
What is this, how did you acquire such a fetish?
I'm truly confused.
>>
>>460863
There are relatively affordable handheld FLIR cameras on aliexpress (40-100$), photoshop can do some decent gradients but it wont actually be a 1:1 of what actual thermal imaging looks like. You can get the cam and just do stills of whatever you want.

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.

who the hell designed the 4chan banners, they are so simple yet so fun

Fucking crazy if true, I'm bracing myself for it, but I don't think they'll be full retard just yet. Their marketing of "what's coming" might genuinely be great new features, but their marketing sucks horribly.

- Unengaging snippets
- Starting to leak hints of *a* vector-based feature, but nothing much more than closeups of whatever new feature is in action.
- Poor response when people ask questions or express worries.
- Still no Ae killer.

I'm fearing it'll just be one or two features. Whatever it is, they felt it necessary to halt their entire suite from being purchased, which makes me feel like they are moving to a subscription service.
At least, it'll be some half-ass AI feature that may be free, or may be an "optional" subscription service. That is, until their new app progresses and they make it's use or subscription potentially mandatory.

Hell yeah, I'm paranoid, maybe a little butthurt. A few months ago, I vouched for them because I genuinely like the software, despite it's limitations. At this point, they need to have something that rivals After Effects either on the way, or ready for release tomorrow, otherwise, this hype could've literally been delivered via email.

They have a lot to add, before even thinking of charging people more, or moving to a subscription. If they do go that route, they're dead to me, for whatever it's worth.

Hello, 4chan dwellers :)
I recently made this 3D model of the famous Excalibur from a movie I loved as a kid.
I just adore the knightly theme and everything related to it.
I hope you’ll like it
m also sharing the model and textures.
May the power of this sword, along with the love I’ve put into this work, be passed on to you :)

Trying to figure out a ban where the core idea is a way to have the second "E" in "series" be composed of "OU" so it could be interpreted as "serious". I don't think this design lands, at all, it's giving radiator manufacturer vibes, not anything related to review. Is this salvageable?

They have announced a major update that will be released on October 30. Many design influencers say that Affinity has gathered a lot of information and has taken ideas and feedback into account.

Since being acquired by Canva, there seems to be more money and resources available for development. It's definitely exciting to see what comes next.

I also don’t think they will introduce a subscription model—but who knows.

Just use DaVinci Resolve. Hovid edits all his videos with it, and it’s also about 90% free.
