How do you design logos in this style?
Don't.
Stop being a paedophile. Get therapy. I will pray for you tonight.
>>464381Unironically.... use the spray paint tool in Kids Pix...
>>464381Photoshop has a "bevel and emboss" layer style that will give you that exact, dated, 3d shading effect. And then add a drop shadow.
This is just AI slop, gonna head over to /wsr/ eventually but wanted to see that you guys thought. I live in Colorado and was out hiking with my wife and thought about it one day and here we are.
>>464419Here's another one I liked, good disruptive from a distance and looks pretty sweet up close
This is a photo (one of many at least) I took while out hiking that in basing this on. I can post more if need be. Just moreso trying to get some feedback and ideas if anyone wants to mess around with it or has any tools that would be useful trying to create a camp pattern, that would be awesome
>>464419Nice job; I've wanted to do something like this. Are you going to sew something with the pattern? It's pretty cool to see the palette directly taken from a photo of the intended landscpe
Guys, I urgently need help. I have to finish restoring/reconstructing this photo by 8:00 PM Polish time today. I've already managed to do part of the work, but I still have a lot of other assignments that I need to submit to my professor tomorrow, and I don't think I'll be able to get everything done in time. The work should be in the psb file. Can someone help? I beg you.Here is a link to the file in Google Drivehttps://drive.google.com/file/d/1COI3KJOlDpImG_rcmv7pSSTSsFQQomZS/view?usp=drivesdk
>>464410Sorry, I just noticed the description now.
>>464410shut the fuck pansy ass bitch do your fucking homeworknice assignment. good teacher
>>464410Man, I am so fucking glad I'm not studying for a degree in GD right now.Still an incredibly useful skill. Proficiency across the adobe suite is still an "I can find a halfway decent job anywhere" situation.But the years it took to master this shit, starting right now, the tools will all be completely different by the time you're done. We're already hitting a point where GD work gets done by any rando at the office with free time with AI, then it gets sent to whoever knows how to use Adobe applications to fix minor text shit as a final 10% situation.
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?
>>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.
I like your taste OP
Are you all ready for what's coming?
>>464417always
Anyone got a log-in or know how to download high res for free please? Thanks in advance. Pic unrelated.
>>464340numbers arent god dumb ass. leonardo was wrong and you are wrong.
>>464382Doesn't work.
>>464305Not sure which feature you're using, but it doesn't sound like proper upscaling. Use the upscaler in PS if you have access to it. You can upscale with local models as well, but if you're struggling on this, you're not ready for that.Point is, upscaling will not garble up text. Sounds like whatever you're using is regenerating an image based on an image, not upscaling.Upscaling is a process that scales up your exact image, and using AI smoothens out the lossy areas.
>>464305>Same anon as >>464400Notice in the upscaled (4x) image of yours that I posted. There's no damage done to the text on her shirt.
>>464283the only option is to download a low resolution version of the image you want with some of those websites that remove watermarks and then upload it to an image search engine so you can find a high resolution version that some random website uploaded for free. it works most of the time
Still remember?

Tried following the advice of adding movement lines to make a drawing feel more "alive" and it... Kind of works? I guess?Maybe i should try making something actually serious now
>>464391Where do i post it then. Didn't find another appropriate board
>>464390are you a cheap cartoonist? or a fucking artist?
>>464396>Maybe i should try making something actually serious nowprobably neither(?)
>>464392>>>/ic/
>>464397here i will give you a small but of advicenotice all the extra lines around the eyes. you dont need "movement wiggles" you need details, depth, volume. contour, thats what 'overdrawing' can begin to help you develop
concerns?
>>462904Lmao, gottem
Did OP just end things after this?
>>462887>human centipede artbased
>>462887I agree with what you said, but let me ask you this; let's say you dont't work for a firm or a client, what message or idea would you try to convey if you're making a poster for yourself for example?
why are they so powerful in graphic design?
>messy old shit and modern flatslopbleh>messy old shit and modern flatslop, japanz000mg so epic!!!
in what fucking universe does japan have good graphic design? i hate you weebs so much
>>463449yeah fuck that hokusai guy and all that calligraphy
>>463428How many places do graphic designers have to make their typography work with 4 writing systems combined into one written language? and have a sustainable creative economy?
They’re not good with western typography. They overdo it with the minimal at times. When you figure it out you see it often. Otherwise they’re really good generally speaking. I link it to the spirituality and modesty they have. Good at encapsulating a vibe.
This is the label design for Peter Stormare's vodka, what would you do differently ?
>>462889actually its an ok bottle shape. lose the wax. fucks withthe proportions. label is good awful, font is shit. go apothocary with annotations style til some other idea happens.
>>464122*god awful
>>462889Font is a tame Korova Milk bar. Doesnt meat it is bad but better question is why. Also if it is custom, why be lazy and make both Rs the same? We are hip and kool but just corpo enough to cut an paste an R.Who is stormare? The maker the flavor? Who is granskott? Also the maker?
>>462889This is what Russians drink the most after that: Russian Standard and Stoli.Designer bottles are fake and gay; just give me your extra money.
>>462889Not terrible, just generic. Makes me think of the canvaslop thread I saw on here the other day (>>463545), which I think is an apt term.Also, note that the M has a dangling nutsack.
I feel like I’ve wasted 15 years of my life, and my career has led me nowhere. At 35, I should be at my peak in terms of earnings and health, yet I’m a nobody. I keep ending up in shitty companies where I’m expected to do everything while getting paid less than gate keeper. For the past 10 years, I’ve designed websites, logos, mobile apps, print materials, books, t-shirt prints, labels, packaging, product photography, social media content, 3D designs, modeling, animation, and simulations. If I had focused on one thing from the start, I’d be an expert in a specific field by now and making decent money. Unfortunately, the harsh truth is this: if you are able to do anything that means you are good at nothing. When there are job listings for simple graphic work, they don’t want someone with 5+ years of experience. If they do want someone with 5 years of experience, they expect an expert in one particular niche. Today, no one even wants to spit in my direction. No one is looking for a 35-year-old guy who has done everything (but nothing specific) because they have 100 young, dynamic grads fresh out of college to choose from. The competition in the big city is just too strong. For the past 5 years, I’ve been working from home part-time, and somehow manage to pay the rent. The MS diagnosis broke me. Depression, no friends, far from family, always making excuses. If it weren’t for my wife earning well and help from my in-laws, I’d have nothing. It feels like everyone around me is doing fine, earning well, and building great careers - except me. I’m feeling down, I’m sick of this fucking city and its weather. I just needed to get this off my chest.
>>463610Sounds great since photography is dead too. Wish I could get a job that isn't Uber which I can't do because I can't afford a car.
>>459830>15 yearsoof ive been doing it for 8 and desu good results there's plenty of days where you feel like its a dead end and most days ... it is BUT like other anons are suggesting make your own work literally everyone has to these days
>>463772That's really not true. Most people just "go to work" and don't really do much and play WoW all day and then get paid. And the ones that don't just "go to work" and move bricks and shit and still get paid. Very little thought required.
>>459841why don't you make deals with the fae?
Hello /gd/ anonsI am sorry to find you in despair. I'm looking for artists and a trading card game I'm working on, and want to use people from here as much as possible.If there is anybody interested in work, I would be looking for things like>packaging designs>card frames>promotional material>logoI don't know how much these types of service would cost, but want to avoid using AI while using artists from here as much as possible. The art for the cards themselves I already have worked out for now using public domain traditional art, but if a kickstarter campaign is successful enough I intend on redoing the set 1 cards with custom art
How's GIMP 3.0?
>GIMP 3.0 with the flatpakd soi cal arts new logo of Wilbur >gtk3cant wait for the eventual en[spoiler]GTK4[/spoiler]ification, and whatever horrendous oversimplified Wilbur...
>>459970shit, like every version before it and every version yet to come
>>463295>its creators should be burned at stakeThey made a FOSS alternative to Photoshop without a budget. It's Adobe that deserves the vitriol.
Gimp can't do that, right ?
>>459970It gets the job done for free. That's all. I'm a retard; I use it sometimes when I need to, but with minor AI edits, I can do it without it
Sorry if this is not the correct board, but it seems the most fit one for the matter.my question is, how do you analize an style? how do you put it in a certain category?I often see patterns, maybe geometric or color pattern that gives a game, a picture or whatever a certain vibe.for example, I know this picture style is known as frutiger aero. I can see the glossy stuf, the transparencies... I lived through it back in the 00's.I could see these things, but didn't knew it was called frutiger aero.
since you immediately came crashing in with this as a subject, frutiger aero is not a real style of the time, it is a contemporary piece of nostalgiain general art is always derivative, all art is using other people's references (or referencing the world) and other people's styles, taking what you like and filling in your own ideas into them. this means that there are certain movements, certain things people like to copy, certain novel combinations of ideas that people then copy, and this is what is studied and made into meaning "styles"the style you're talking about is one that was mostly made through the novelty of being able to apply humanist character to user interface design; before then, it was impractical to give user interfaces glossy icons and borders because rendering those in real-time was not feasible. when technology started allowing it, people flocked into the new grounds and often sort of overdid itthis is also why flat UIs later overtook, mobile phones and laptops brought in screens with massively different scaling factors, meaning that you'd have to create a bunch of copies of all your nicely-rendered glossy UI. in comparison, vector graphics had become performant enough and solved this issue by design, at the cost of being usually very flat. that push was mostly started by the excellent Matias Duarte who did design for Android at the time, designing Holo design, which then kicked off Apple to do the same. the interesting thing is that where Holo went into a more industrial grotesk design, Apple decided to keep their humanist ideas, and that's what won out in the end (Matias then pivoting to Material Design which was a humanist rendition of Holo's ideas)right now we live in pretty exciting times in UI land actually, where computers have become powerful enough to do arbitrary non-rectangular layouts, and the grip of humanist design has started fading drastically
