>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.

Funny how those that are so quick to throw insults are often the most ignorant.

I've used free pictures from Getty lots of times in the past. Getty often grant unrestricted logins (any size downloads, no watermark) to advertising agencies and design companies* because they know said agency will pay for any pictures they use commercially. This practice allows those companies to quickly and easily use the images for pitches and mockups etc.

I haven't got that luxury at the moment because where I work at now doesn't use many stock images and I didn't want to go begging to ex-colleagues but it looks like I might have to.

*With due respect, I suggest that maybe you would know that, if you worked in the industry.

You can upscale images.
Guess I forget that graphic designers aren't used to staying up to date on technology, but if you're in this field, you ought to.
The fact that you can do this is fucking unreal. This was like a law of physics that you could scale down, but not up, since the advent of images on computers. But no longer.

Thanks anon. I've used it a bit but not for a while, so yeah, it's bound to have improved.

I had a little play with the firefly feature in potatoshop. It didn't do too badly 2bh.

Unfortunately there was some type on the picture, which got turned into that giveaway AI slop type, which I solved with an overlaid a layer that I rezzed up the old way and unmasked the type onto it.

What I couldn't solve nicely was getting rid of the watermark (cleanly enough).

Oh well. I'll have to ask around for a login.
>>
aren't the watermarks supereasy to edit out by design so that getty can sue for BIG BUCKS everytime a dumbass uses those images comercially?

Got inspired to make something that looks better in slides as a challenge. It is very much not the ideal software to make graphics in. When doing vectors and rasters, I prefer krita.

You can find it on any generic font website. Just put "online font library" into your search engine and you should get some results.

The Polygon Haze(A poem for the game that never was)Blow the dust from the gray plastic seam,Insert the cartridge, wake the silicon dream.It wasn’t "Catcher," nor "The Dots" on the label,But a phantom signal across the AV cable.Was it Bomberman trapping his friends in a ring?Or Lode Runner fleeing the mad Monk King?The memory flickers, a 64-bit blur,Of a demo mode looping where shadows occur.We chased the pixels, the yellow and red,"Catch the Dots" echoed in the space overhead.But the controller is cold, the CRT static hums,For the multiplayer match that never quite comes

>>463246 You are untalented, but try anyway. Everyone feels insecure sometimes, even pros doubt themselves. There is one piece of advice though that always works: suck it up. You do not have to be an AI cuck/baby about it. Make something simple, use references, and call it a day. If you feel like you need more time, be honest with your friend about it. He reached out to you because he trusts you. If I had a friend and asked them to draw something because I admire their work, I wouldn't want them to break my trust by using a bot to do it. I would still appreciate it even if it is not 100% up to their standards. Either ask for an extension, tell him you can't do it, or try anyway. Otherwise, you get this sticker for this loser behavior:

JuggernautXL is the best one I've used for it so far. It won't get text right. Imagery will need to be corrected. But it's solid for banging out 100+ relatively decent looking logomarks that you can basically redraw into a working logo and call it your own.

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 idiots

Then 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 unintelligible
