>>446976I use that jet brains font for everything
>>462984OK I tried it (made a POC with inkscape). It's hideous, the letters are there, obvious and they still bother. Not my cup of tea. Worth experimenting, thoug
>>449305how do you have such a shit camera in 2025?
Anyone have Monolisa 2.017, please?
Does anyone have a real otf copy of Söhne Mono that isn't just the ripped and converted web font? Need otf features
how would I edit this to have a realistic looking crack in it? I'm trying to troll my son
>>461916search google images for similar photos with cracks and broken pieces etc, once you find a few use yandex to get more, use the most realistic high-quality ones, with similar lightning and then copy paste it on top of your pic and blend it on photoshop there's tons of tutorials on yt, or just ask someone at /wsr/ to do a quick job
Put a real crack in it, and then lecture your son about how it's not okay to play with knives.
>>461916
>>461916Just tell him it dropped on the concrete floor and tip chipped off.
>>461916Chipped it, more realistic than a crack / metal fatigue and is just as bad for knife guys.
No need, it just werks.
>>462043>dopingwhy are my computer chips doing drugs???
it looks good on the sign
>>463082it looks good in general!super distinctive, while oozing 'lasting professionalism' and loudly screaming 'engineering'>they are not catering to the consumer market.
>285 days of catalog presence>not a single attemptWhat is even the point of this board
post comfy architecture
>>462979I see it on /fa/ occasionally, but I agree. Architecture and interior design needs its own board, even if it’s niche in its appeal.
Is pic related the Loomis head of architecture?
>>463081the owners repeatedly fucked their brains out in that room
sorry, but it's true
Also, i was thinking of advertisment and product. U.I. didnt come to mind. Theyre similar, but to me, thats a different ball game.
>>463062Agreed.It's a more important skillset than ever and it's never been a more transferable skill from one job to another.But, the way schools teach it, as though being able to create a mediocre logo in 80 hours and having intermediate skills in InDesign/Illustrator is going to lead to a decent full time job, let alone a career has been kind of dead for a while. Definitely dead now.On reddit, you'll see whiny students/amateurs digging their heals in, arguing they shouldn't be expected to know HTML, or touch video editing, etc. Meanwhile every zoomer's learning this stuff so they can do YouTube or be a "creator". It was entitled and foolish fifteen years ago when designers would refuse to branch out of print design. Even at the time (I was a student then) peers and I would agree, the people trying to do only print are going to get rugged. Today, it's beyond absurd for someone to think they won't need to be versatile and learn every medium they can, and adjust to new tools regularly.Even prior to AI, GD seemed to me like a field you start out in, but graduate to other things by your late 20's. Whether it's video, web dev, etc. The GD skills carry over and give you a leg up in these, especially if you're going to create your own business one day. But GD in itself is like the digital version of a construction laborer.Now on the topic of AI: It's scaring a lot of people, but designers skilled in the adobe suite are in the perfect situation to take advantage of it if they get over their fears and dive into it. AI does amazing shit, while getting details wrong. They're the ones capable of editing those details. It also knocks out a huge amount of grunt work and makes "creative block" a thing of the past. Smart designers should be viewing AI as a gift from god. They've just been handed their own studio, basically. Image gen, is basically like having your own team of lower level designers working for you. Not to mention the learning abilities with it.
>>463070Questionable schools blowing smoke up clueless people's asses is a separate issue that existed even when commercial art as a standalone career was a fairly easy and profitable path to take with a seemingly endless supply of work to go around.Just like countless other trade school models that kind of thing exploded after WW2 with the GI Bill and continued with similar civilian educational loan programs long past a time when more workers were needed, and since the real goal of many operators was getting at that money and not placing people in jobs, much of the curriculum didn't keep up with the needs and trends in the industries that those schools ostensibly served.School has its place but just getting a certificate and expecting commercial design work to be there for the taking is the laziest, least creative and least adaptive approach to entering a field that is ALL about creativity and adaptation and hustling.Even to work as a teacher at art school, having completed art school doesn't necessarily mean crap.>“Art school for everyone everywhere” read one FAS ad, which ran in the back of magazines such as TV Guide and Life. For $200, or GI benefits, the student received large binders containing 24 lessons. >Charles Reid, who joined FAS in 1963 as its youngest instructor, noted that with the early lessons, students received a stock letter response according to their skill level...Uniquely, Reid started with FAS as a 15-year-old student, when his father bought him the course. He only completed eight of the original lessons, then abandoned the course, citing its difficulty.https://connecticuthistory.org/instruction-by-mail-the-famous-artists-school/

>>463054then why are there graphic designers making a lot of money doing, you know, graphic design?
Does anyone happen to know what font this is? None of the font finders told me. I was hoping the weird zero and "O" could identify it.
Bump
>>463074lmao
what's the name of this design? how does one achieve the composition and the colors in illustrator? is it even in illustrator since it's made in early 1900s.

>>459301Cant you see the colours and composition looking at it?
>>463058no
I'd like to use it for booklets. Does it render text correctly? What are its main issues in this application?
>>462995It's """"""""free""""""""" because they make more money with your data than selling it to you. You can look that shit up, it's insane how many connections the application has running at all times.
>>463003show it
>>462615There's no reason to use memescape and Gimp now that affinity is free.Either use ps or affinity.
>>462616I remember when indesign could only do one page at a time and you had to buy an external plug-in to render tables, and nobody had written one yet.It got popular because of cultists. Nothing more.
>>462615What exactly do you want to create?A poster or something with multiple pages?What should the final product be? Should it remain digital or be exported for print as PDF X-3?Inkscape is a vector program, so it should output all fonts as vectors for your final format.Also this >>463009
I want to make cool geometry shapes, where do I start

>>462503He dropped the price from 99You don't have to buy it, it's exactly same program as community qcad, you can use that.Onstott just adapted it for ease of use, aimed specifically at creativity and geometry, plus made a very good video teaching series on how to use it.
>>462503BTW there are some outrageously priced "Sacred Geometry" apps out there preying on the trend. Onstotts is actually the best one and the cheapest.

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.
>>462312Why on Earth would anyone request that when they can just get a nephew to slopify it and call a day with zero "polish" to it? You think people like giving out free money to non-family?
>>459502How tf do you get commissioned? I can draw pretty good, have been in the industry for 5 years, yet freelancing withiut furry or fetish art is impossible. Where do I even advertise myself?? The fucking plebs at tiktok get commissioned wtf
>>445757Working as a graphic designer at an agency that has three times as many designers as it did 10 years ago. People used to typeset each letter by hand on a printing press, and the ability to more easily print things has only lead to more things being printed, and more typesetters. So far AI is far less disruptive than the computer. Most of what I use it for is monotonous shit I dont even want to do, like using a calculator instead of working a sum out on paper. Very little AI made stuff is included in the final work, it just speeds up concepting, idea generation etc. Kind of a shitty job though desu. Go be an actual artist or go make some actual money rather than being a graphic designer and doing neither.
>>462900>Go be an actual artistthey literally cannot even if they tried"graphic designers" are legit the worst people in the entire fuckin world for this exact reason, not only are they too fuckin retarded for STEM they also don't have the artistic sensitivities to create art with soul/life/energy whatever you want to call itit's the absolute bottom of the barrel cognitive stasis and I wholeheartedly applaud the shittening that all of them now have to experience, maybe the trades sector will see plenty of new plumbers and landscapers hopefully rofl
>>463043I know some that are talented artists and see it as a way to “be creative” but also “make money”. Its not a very good way to do either. Pick a lane is my point.
How do I explain to a church group why they need to change their entire branding? This is not a joke.
>>461090Why not let it stay this way? It's pretty funny.
>>462152WAOWWWW its Invisible my favorite sliding jpg show for little babies!

what is this design style called?
Thanka Ima steal this style.
Any papes in this style
Cyberpunk UI-Driven Retro-Futurist Poster Design
>>462126Brutalism or maybe acid design.Someone will come to explain that that is not brutalism, but thats the type of thing that comes out when you google "brutalism graphic design"
>>462126"Blade Runner""Johnny Mnemonic""Neuromancer"etc.
Is it retarded to use fountain pens?
>>461902I use black pens and have a lot of blacked clothing
I like ink
>>460543Many people will recommend Chinese brands such as Jinhao. But, I would suggest either the Pilot Metropolitan or the Kakuno (they have faces). The Pilot pens are rather inexpensive and write smooth.
>>460180It's frustrating. Almost nobody uses them IRL and the two fountain pen forums and the subreddit have a demographic that usually angers me. I think the poster above is right that this "hobby" draws a higher-than-normal anxiety enthusiasts. >>462736The most annoying thing about fountain pens is that many dry out, whether within days or weeks or months. Therefore my primary suggestion is to get one that does not do this. To achieve this, get a screw-off style cap instead of a snap on/off cap (the snap mechanism requires the cap has tiny holes in it, to prevent a vacuum that would pull ink out). The best company for this is Platinum because they have a "Slip and Seal" technology that is known to keep the nib wet, even when stored unused for months. As a beginner I would suggest buying two Platinum Preppys, in in a fine and one in a medium. This should get you an idea of what it's all about with a cheap, reliable pen that is not going to annoy you. And they come with a little bit of ink.To upgrade this order slightly, get one or two converters to go with the preppy and some ink samples that appeal to you. Much of the joy in fountain pens is in playing with different ink colors, and converters allow you to swap colors with just a bit of cleanup in between.
>>462737are the noodlers inks in some way special or good? I like their designs but never tried the product itself
