>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.

Should I learn Photoshop or Illustrator first?

I heard that the recent Photoshop versions push their subscript AI shit and that CAF got worse as a result (to push you to buy credits for their AI fill-in replacement), is that true? Should I grab 2023 or around there?

As someone who uses Linux and just can't get Affinity and PS CS6 to work over wine... Just couldn't get into GIMP
I've been using Photopea for image editing, Krita is ASS at text. And I haven't found a good alternative to AI yet, I used to use CorelDRAW on some places I've worked at but it doesn't work on Linux either. Been sticking to Inkscape but it isn't really as powerful as AI or even Corel

it does kinda depend, a lot of people’s workflow from logo design is sketching freehand on paper and inking vector in Illustrator so it’s scalable if you’re talking about drawing in the sense of wordmarks and t shirts and stuff

>shows up like this at 100%
It does the same thing with web screenshots, distorts the text because the retarded fucking thing can't just function on pixels internally. It maps some sort of ppi setting and then it comes out with whatever resolution. What use is that? I just use GIMP and despite its shortcomings I've never once had to deal with such retardation.

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

How does "Pantone +CMYK" work?

Is it actually Pantones? the swatches appear as CMYK,

if i send a file using a swatch of "Pantone P 179-1" are they going to spot print that color? or what?

goddamn pantone never making any sense.

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.
