Not sure what to call it, but I've only seen it in some crypto/futuristic websites so I'm calling it that. I really like this style and want to see some more examples so I can try emulating it.
>no entry level jobs>no intermediate level jobs>no jobs whatsoever actually How am I supposed to navigate this shit
no industry connections = its basically over for youthe industry was already oversaturated before and ai isnt making employment easier either.

Freelance - use this guide (for copywriting but applicable to graphic design)https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/threads/lex-devilles-how-to-make-1-000-a-week-with-no-degree-no-feedback-no-portfolio.58837/Or 2. Make digital products - use this guidehttps://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/threads/how-to-create-a-2k-mo-passive-income-website-in-30-days-or-less.107531/I would recommend using number 1 to fund number 2.

I'm currently 17 years old and I'm thinking about studying graphic design for pleasure, and I really think about the job opportunity and sometimes it worries me because I don't want to have a complicated life, I want to live comfortably.So far I only found 3 ways to look for a job.1st is the internet, opening commissions, doing propaganda, advertising my brand.2nd is helping engineers or just putting a place, you know, real shit that makes you always get out of bed at the same time.3rd: It is the crudest so to speak because there is no progress as such, but only that it is depending on a company.Anyway, I'm still a minor and I have time to think about it exactly, they're just simple predictions, maybe I'll do very well.
>>457971dont do it, im studying computer science now after doing an associates degree course on graphic design and honestly fuck the industry and fuck having connections and shit if you are someone that doesnt talk to anyone unless needed to like me ur pretty fucked
It's ugly. It's the ugliest shit you could possibly make.99% of homophobia is due to this abomination. If the gay flag were cool, if the colors actually complemented each other, if it had some cool lesbian animal symbolism or something like that people would LOVE the gays.I try to tell this to people but they're in denial
>>457962>I am encouraging a very different style of conversationHe said after hurling countless of disgusting personal insults at me.Lmao, you crazy leftoid trannies really lack any and all insight or sight through others eyes huh? Even now youre just trying to virtue signal and be smug about your bullshit.Why dont you go and try assasinate trump like apparently all of you feel like doing lately.Anyways were past any level headed discussion, ive shown you the evidence that any and all fags and trannies are either sick because of the brain worms, psychological trauma because of rape from jews and fags as children or endless jewish brainwashing.They have been broken and turned into demonic servants of the devils people (jews) who in his will rape kids and do nasty stuff.By approving such behavior you place yourself firmly on their side, the side of the baby killing degenerates.Which is why at this point i can only tell you to go back to your disgusting gay piss orgy (its happening in the main street btw)This mental ilness and poor taste expresses itself in your preddit logo which uses colours that signify danger,As in sayingComment too long.

>>457969hilarious. you didn't understand a single point in my message. not even one.have a great life!
>>457970I did and refuted them by giving you some perspective and insight.Now that i hit the nail on the head you are doing whatever the appropriate equivalent of sour grapes here is.Youre touched by my words and realize the error of your ways but only for a slight second so you make up a new headcanon and get out of it.Because youd rather be comfortable than better/right.
>>457972I'll let the readers decide whether that is the case :)
>>457973Theres no readers faggot. This thread has been up for months now, and its still on page 1.
how do you turn rotoscope into animation?
>>457763Do you have a video clip that you want to rotoscope? Obviously it should be a short clip to start with.

Hello /gd/. Iy's my first time here. I wonder if anyone here could help me to id this font
You can easily use a font finder to find the font or fonts that could mimic the original font you're trying to find.The most similar typeface I could find was a one called "Chom Bold", and it cost around $50.
Thanks, I'll look into it. I'm not a graphic designer and I've always just selected fonts from the available ones in Microsoft Office, so I've never bought nor inserted a new one. In this case I'd use it in a PowerPoint presentation.I guess it's like everything else in there, not hard but maybe tricky?

Nailed it.
>>457688lmao no it is not?!you cant even make a design that everyvody likes. there will always be someone disliking it
>>457531this is just the graphic design equivalent of modern artthe "i could have done this in 5 minutes" mantra that someone has over a painting that just looks like some guy splattered art at random
>>457950>looks like some guy splattered art at randomwhich it is
mmm yes i love making everything look bland and shitty!!!!
>>457688LOFL, no it doesn't. If anything the fact that non artists are aware and talking about it just means it's doing exactly what a logo and especially a redesign and rollout is imtended to do.Only someone completely ignorant of how this stuff works thinks that a new logo being an aesthetic improvement is the goal, or that people judging it as a "bad" redesign will create a net loss of customers or revenue for a company with massive market share in its space.How many times do the retards on this board need to be told that logo design and re-design isn't about artistic ideals or seeking the approval of self appointed critics on aesthetic grounds?
Hot Topic website layout1998 vs 2024I feel like this is a good example of how website design has changed over the years.While the modern layout is more straight-forward and easier to view, it lacks the character and creativity that the old one has. What are people's thoughts on this?
What if someone was to make a video platform that wasnt just a white background with black text on it?What if there was a colorful video site with a strong modern pallette?How would it look, anon?
I dare u to design a new Tiktok with these couleurs:https://looka.com/blog/color-combinations/
wutif
The content "is" the videos. Most people use dark mode on these sites.
>>457961i hate drak mode and I dont know anyone that uses it
>>457963nta. I use it. with all my apps and websites. mobile and pc. and I don't think I will ever go back
What political movements have the best-designed symbols?

>>457025Looks like shit.

Welding company named ingenia soldadura which means ingenuity welding. I look at it and it does not fully convince me, I thinks the concept works for the company but the symmetry i think its not right. Need advice please.
>>457934Typically in Spanish business names the service or product or business category comes first and the modifier is last->Cafeteria Lucy>Cervecería Cuauhtémoc MoctezumaSame with families, it's "familia Rodriguez", not the other way around."MIG welding" in Spanish is "soldadura MIG" so your syntaxe is reversed.Besides that, if you invert the graphic so that the spark-y light shape is white and illuminates the helmet and appears to reflect off the lens it makes more sense as welding.Picrel is one way you could unify it and make it into an actual mark or stamp.
>>457935that is pretty cool!>>457945very *meh*
I work for figma - give me your hot takes / feature reqs / q's. in b4 ligma
>>457254Should be releasing it to more shortly. TBD on full access, since we need to figure out what to charge for it. AI stuff costs $$$>>457335The entire app is only around 60MB. What takes memory is the libraries and file data. Keep in mind many files have 100k+ nodes we have to handle. >>457853no u
>>457181as a design system maintainer it's annoying that other people on my team can go into the file and just make changes on the main branch. i should be able to lock the main branch and require all changes be made through branching/merging. this is how a lot of developers set up their repositories.the biggest issue is that when people go in and make changes i have no idea what they even changed, the release modal just says a component has been "modified" without any hint at what happened. the only way to revert these changes is to go back to a previous version of the file which is fucking dreadfulit's not like locking a file from changes doesn't already exist either, it's literally what happens when you merge a branch, the branch becomes locked and can't be changed
>>457181>>457944second thing i would like to see is a more detailed panel that describes what overrides have been set on an instance. there's the "reset changes" or "reset text styles", etc. options in the dropdown which work but i would like to see all overrides and what properties they effected on a specific instancethird thing is plugins like "selective surgery" and "select siblings in auto layout" to be built into figma, they're so incredibly useful when making bulk changesfourth thing is when i select multiple nested instances for some reason all the properties go away? for what purpose???fifth thing is some built in function for exporting/importing local variables as a tabular format or json, plugins are buggy for this purposesixth thing why the fuck when i set a border color on a section does the section title not adopt the color of the border, it has to be the background color for some reason. like if i want a blue section title i have to make the entire section background blue, who would ever want that?seventh thing please add percentage widths i'm fucking beggingeighth thing why even call "constrain proportions" that if the second you put it in an auto layout it doesn't workComment too long.

>>457946oh yeah eleventh thing, give me a way to use a previous version of a plugini'm fucking tired of plugin authors releasing a buggy update that breaks my ability to use a plugin i need to get my job done and they take WEEKS to fix ittwelfth thing allow us to make non clickable section titles in the pages panelthirteenth thing as a design system author it sucks having to lay out all my components, with documentation, statuses, etc. i just wish there could be a more automated way of doing this that isn't running a shit ton of pluginslike tools like storybook and knapsack allow you to programmatically make design system documentation websites i don't see why figma couldn't especially since there's some of that functionality built into dev mode
>>457948fourteenth thing it's retarded that i can't change the size of individual strokes, what is the point of being able to add multiple strokes then

Also look into->Deconstructivism is a design movement that emerged in the late 1980’s, the principles of deconstructivism aim to dislocate elements, break the whole structure and then recombine them into a disorder form which deliver a chaotic visual appearance but still somehow maintain senses of a controlled composition. https://www.behance.net/gallery/156614191/Deconstructivism-book-editorial-project-by-Yen
Zines were a big influence on that style of layout, it was all about quick and dirty IRL cutting and pasting in the last days before everyone had easy typesetting capability.Plus the ransom letter style appealed to punk/ hardcore sensibilities
>>457937if it IS a bill, does it still reference bills?also there a Naked Lunch cover about the same time, yellow back with black caps text - curious
