Am I fucking retarded for still using Adobe Illustrator? All I do is make shitty anime vectors and the workflow drives me fucking nuts each time. Is this shit just absolute ass for productivity or am I just retarded?Everytime I try to look up tutorials for this shit it just gives me ass unrelated "how to trace your linart" horseshit. Also why the FUCK doesnt illustrator have drop shadow still in 2026. Fuck I'm mad.
So exhausted to use several tools, which cost me unnecessary work. Help me..
>>464179I cant believe there actually is app like this.
>>464178is this a shill thread?why the fuck is it a problem to not be able to edit audio in your page layout application?
>>464183what the fuck even is the site..??
>>464194it downloads a bug file. make sure you erase it.
>>464178>unification toolsWhat do you mean? Like one magic tool that does everything?That wouldn't make a lot of sense since these tools all do different things. They each take a lot of resources as well, which is the main reason they're still split into separate applications.Staying within the Adobe ecosystem is the closest thing to "unification" that's plausible.>>464183Because people who call themselves "graphic designers" are mostly students, early in their careers, or retards.
Is graphic design worth learning in the age of AI?
>>463806Principles / fundamentals / shit they would teach you in school?Yes.Is it worth spending tens, or hundreds of thousands, to go to school for it? lol, no. Absolutely not.Watch some free courses on youtube or something.Teenagers who want to be influencers end up better graphic designers from making their thumbnails than most people graduating with degrees in it. The degree is more about being a part of the artsy-fartsy seen. The only people who take GD seriously as a career after like age 25 are flamboyantly gay men and art-girls. Everyone else moves onto some other industry/role, bringing their design skills with them as a side-skill.
>>463806definitely not, ESPECIALLY if you're intending on wasting money on a degree or school.
>>464095>Everyone else moves onto some other industry/roleSuch as?
>>463806no we're all jobless
>>464202Web development is probably the biggest one.Also video editing.
Best FICTIONAL sports team logos?
Well, despite nobody speaking up, we still got the green light to come back again; the benefits of being a slow, unobtrusive board I guess.I'm still only caretaking, but after Pepsi's rousing performance at the end of Winter, he's been promoted to Gold/all-99 stats. Our slate this group stage is mobage, vidya, and cute animal girls, so get your app thumbnails / box art / pastel graphic tees ready. We're game #3 today, so tune in RIGHT NOW for Game 1 and about 90-105 minutes for us?isthisliv.com/stream
Slight overestimation on the ETA; here we go!
Well that was a frustrating game last Saturday... and facing /v/ in the opener today, basically right now, promises to be an even rougher time. We'll see how it pans out, though, and we still have /c/ on Sunday. Here we go!
...well that was an even MORE frustrating game Friday, and now we're locked out of going to Summer. Ah well.Will we take our frustrations out on /c/ and go out on a win, or let them escape their own personal spoon-watch? (We're technically on watch as well...) Tune in & find out!
Well, I quit.Not because of that match, but because I'd already been planning it six months ago before we accidentally made it to Winter after that funny /mlp/ game. I can't even luckshit anymore, though, and Kerning deserves a real manager who can give him fun models AND manage games. I will admit I DO feel bad stepping away just as /3/ comes back, but them's the breaks.I'm not ghosting or anything, so if you need any files or stuff from me, I'll be around. I'll manage wiki autism housekeeping to close this run out, too; I was happy to indirectly cause some funny fluke games, but now I leave it to someone else. Exposure ain't paying the bills; see ya!
Still remember?
Is this graphical design?

How do I cope knowing that the best logo ever is ruined by a retarded ideology?Nothing comes even close to the swastika. It makes me depressed to the point of giving up logos completely.
libtards can't make logos geg
>>463964geg is the sound idiots make when they choke on their own spit.just thought you should know.
>>458343Obsessive Aztec history autist here, the "Aztec" swastika never shows up in anything, it is made up
>>464152Also I was going to post about >>461742 but that anon already covered it. There are some more traditional swatstickas seen on some West Mexican ceramics tooBut the "Aztec swasticka" in that image isn't used in anything.>>462018>The Aztecs originated in the southwest of the United States. No.The Uto-Aztecan language family is centered in the Southwest US, but Nahuatl, or Proto-Nahuatl, was already in Northwestern Mexico by the time the Nahuas migirated down into Central Mexico and became the "Aztecs" as we know them. Hell some proposals have Proto-Nahuatl in Central Mexico as early as like 500AD, with Teotihuacanos potentially being Nahuatl speakers
>>458256no u
lmaoooo
>>462651does anyone? come on
>>462580how good is their AI?how can I get premium for free?I refuse to give women and jews money.
Has anyone actually been using this. If you put a vector in a group the vector points become skewed, so you can't have something like a perfect square or circle. It's always something like 121 x 120 pixels. What a piece of shit software, just use Inkscape it's also free/
>>462547Every adobe product ends up getting locked out every time i install it after following directions.
>>464204do you block outbound internet access for the programs?
What font do you use for terminal stuff?I like OCR-A.
>>464200This is what it looks like in konsole. For my needs I think it looks nice and it's very legible for me.
Redesign it
>>464042enjoy your iranian lego dildo, magat
reminds me of an old reply on /ck/ lol

>>461724.
Retarded motherfuckers from non design departments at work send AI generated slop to me the graphic designer, to approve for printing, trying to flaunt that they can do what I do, I guess? Carrying printouts of their AI generated slop to my boss the general manager for approval while simultaneously trying to show that I can be replaced or fired. Meanwhile they don't understand a fucking thing, you can't just generate an image of a banner at print quality just because you told the fucking AI to generate "print quality", it's not even the right fucking dimensions...you think you can print it and think it's going to fit a fucking huge custom banner holder? Goddam idiotsThen they run their fucking emails through AI to appear more intelligent than they are, and form arguments, yet when you speak to them in person they're fucking unintelligibleWhat the fuck is this timeline
Is it retarded to use fountain pens?
>>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
>>454720It's cool if you're a big fucking deal lawyer or CEO signing shit constantly. Otherwise, you just look like a weirdo. What are you people even writing with pens besides your signature and a date?
>>454718I like em for drawing
i just gold my first gold nib montblanc used for under $50 shipped. you too can do so if you look for used pens in japanese domestic marketplace. yahoo japan, mercari japan and use a proxy shipping service like sendico. my thirdworld ass got a hold of 70s montblanc 320p this way. if you want to get gold nibs this is the cheapest way i know. the same listings in these places are reposted on ebay with higher prices, why not go straight to the source? gold mine for japanese pens 70s-90s and montblanc too surprisingly. my theory is they hoarded a lot of luxury before 90s japan crash.
We're so back.
>>463098I restored my faith in graphic design
>>463098muh cracker barrel
This is gonna sound very retarded, but I like how TNR does italics properly rather than just skewing the letters. Yeah, Calibri does this too, but not to the extent of TNR! I love it!
>>463098Rate it. My country uses Arial
>>463098Now that the world has moved on from calibri and on to Aptos or whatever the new MS font is called, I can admit that Calibri is fucking peak and is probably one of the best fonts for legibility and articulate reading at speed. It’s better than times new roman.
gonna post a bunch of pictures cause i wonder if this gets the message across enough for somebody on fiver or my local trades market can whip something together on the cheap end..prob gonna be 6 pictures with texts, all i wanna know is: will my retarded microsoft paint drawings do the trix?
>>464186general shade of bath.. been back and forth on using wood bench, whitish cabinets and white floors, but i want the spa feel.. going with gray floor would give me the chance to do blueish green tiles in the steam shower, it wouldn't look out of place.steam shower is also whirlpool tub combo, white with golden details.if the shower was greenish blue, i would do white nooks for soaps and such, also copper/gold trims on corners.. just want more cabbin/ mountainside spa feel.
>>464186half cantilevered stairs so it can double as a place for pictures, miscellaneous items and plants, all while looking more open than the other choices available.
>>464186stairs pushed away as to show toilet wall.
>>464186"void" is technical room, it's insulated and accessible from the outside trough a 160cm maintenance door, it contains water heater, steam shower "cooker", and jet pumps for bath, id also place the outside part of an heat pump there.
>>464190oh and bedroom over bathroom got a pocket door, the main door to bathroom covers toilet stall once opened, so it's a romance saver.. never know when partner decides "this is a nice time to brush my teeth", and then enter as you're on the throne of despair.
AI really killed Graphic Design as a profession
the farm animal herd the economy supported ?
>>463696I thought that in 2023 but now people find out they can't use a 1024x1024 image as print and frustrate themselves unable to generate just a simple line of text, I think AI showed it could not replace me at least.I do cheat, I generate some elements to get the whole idea but it's inevitable, we got to work to get quality.>>463721AI users are retards. It's like someone who think they can build their house if it's just laying bricks. EASY NO SKILLS REQUIRED! Only a few grands in bricks and plasterboard, after a floor of concrete
>>463696it's going to kill people FOR REALhttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OHQRo3Uz_VQ
>>463696Not completely but yeah, that new ChatGPT image 2 is insane, I use it to make flyers when I get requests at work. I already saw some chick that's not a graphic designer using it and trying to rub my face in it. I probably have less than 2 years left before I'm fired or the career is just completely done. The only thing it can't really do is specialized things, like using branding and fonts for the company I work for, making a booklet etc...so right now it's a life saver for knocking out posters and flyers, but soon it will be a career ender, probably with the next release of Nano Banana
>>463857AI can do everything you listed, so same boat really
