>>460864wrong...
>>460864I prefer a slightly more muted yellow, green, and blue. Purple should also have a little more blue in it too. I like your colors though and I like chocolate and cigarettes too and I like mario and sonic
when will they finally delete this dead board and put us out of our miseries?
>>462938why would/should they? distinguishing between visual expression that is illustrative/artistic/figurative in nature and such that is graphic/design/corporate makes a lot of sense, even when there are natural overlaps. some topics just don't fit /ic well and vice versa. I doubt many people on that board make noteworthy money from their drawings, so it can't be the lack of employed anons that makes you say so. also /ic is a hellhole of a children's playground, which kinda protects this less popular second art-related board from a few annoyances.
Look what art I made today OP!

what's the name of this design? how does one achieve the composition and the colors in illustrator? is it even in illustrator since it's made in early 1900s.
>>459309Superman with the black hairdye
>>459357>>459369Looks great, that's exactly what hair does. Gotta ask, would you say white people are bage ("beige") like bagels?>>459402>>459451Germany is in NATO/Europe nowadays

I'd like to use it for booklets. Does it render text correctly? What are its main issues in this application?
>>462995It's """"""""free""""""""" because they make more money with your data than selling it to you. You can look that shit up, it's insane how many connections the application has running at all times.
>>463003show it
>>462615There's no reason to use memescape and Gimp now that affinity is free.Either use ps or affinity.
>>462616I remember when indesign could only do one page at a time and you had to buy an external plug-in to render tables, and nobody had written one yet.It got popular because of cultists. Nothing more.
>>462615What exactly do you want to create?A poster or something with multiple pages?What should the final product be? Should it remain digital or be exported for print as PDF X-3?Inkscape is a vector program, so it should output all fonts as vectors for your final format.Also this >>463009
Then you should know that at the current year of 2023 graphic design is pretty much dead. I was a professional gd for almost 10 years working in both studios and on my own and I can't really find a job anymore. It's not even because of AI to be honest, its because of how the industry works and how bad the corporate environment has become. There's still web design, 3D and VFX/motion design(primarily 3D too) and if you want something similar or easy to transition then chose one of those but I'm not sure for how long they will be relevant themselves because of the AI which is basically a final nail in the coffin of gd. Of course there are and will be exceptions and maybe you will get lucky to find some obscure local business that needs you, but if you are young and looking for a career in the future you should stop consider becoming a graphic designer. This profession is dead.
/ic/ here. wow this board is rly slow. tltr of ziz thread? is there still hope for graphics design in 2026?

Illustrator beginner here. How's this for my first time? Any help or advice would be appreciated.
>>462947The best place to get creative stuff is vk (russian facebook) but don't just download everything, try to curate and develop a setup for making stuff reliable and fast, with files made for presentation too, like t-shirts or poster mockups (I mostly download or pay for True Grit Supply or high quality stuff). for example you can just search on google like this:site:vk.com astute graphics>Astute Graphics Bundle + Pro Texture Packs (Windows) (641.08 MB) tested only on Illustrator v26.0.3 CC 2022>Download:https://workupload.com/file/QxAY7sVNQLG
>>462948This is highly appreciated anon. True Grit Supply does seem to offer a better deal than Astute Graphics considering the latter is charging a subscription to use their assets.I downloaded the link you showed me and I'm a little surprised to see an .exe for plugins. Is this normal or just their way of DRM?
>>462950Also, I forgot to add, any recommended channel or tutorial to get a hang of Illustrator? I know my way around Photoshop a bit, but I'm still new with this.
>>462950True Grit is the best for brushes and textures in specific styles, for example they have: 50s atomic age, 60s psychedelic, 70s groove funk, 80s pop art, 90s grunge, retro comics, woodcut, vintage halftones, 2000s printing textures, t-shirt distress textures etc. You use them mostly if you plan to work with some form of print in those artstyles, or for selling t-shirts, posters, books, etc.Astute Graphics, is mostly used to speed up your workflow for example if you use a tool more than once you should make a keyboard shortcut for it, also they both have channels with tons of tutorials but I only watched maybe one or two videos.https://www.youtube.com/@TrueGritTextureSupplyhttps://www.youtube.com/@astutegraphics/videos
>>46295190% of Illustrator is just the pen tool and you learn it by tracing your own drawings, after you do 10 or 20 you'll get used to it. and later on you can trace on illustrator but a lot of people trace on paper and take a pic with your phone, or some sketch on photoshop and use the image as reference in illustrator.The most used things to learn for illustrators are the basic stuff, like how to place and edit the points and handles, how to use the pathfinder panel, and other tools like cutting, grouping/ungrouping, bring layers to the front or back, lock layers, etc. (you should have shortcuts for those).These are the channels where I learned the most useful stuff from, the last one is a podcast so you can just leave the sound on but you can learn a lot about the business side, is just interviews with some illustrators and designers who are successful:https://www.youtube.com/@TheVectorLabhttps://www.youtube.com/@RetroSupplyhttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAtkH02dHIUKLtn7djPbduhnLxx9EzRnhhttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1kftJGcwTVr5-zWlPwPklmybWVAagLDZAnd finally these videos are pretty inspirational and helpfulhttps://vimeo.com/55846250Comment too long.

I feel like its missing something. Maybe a diff picture of jesus would work better? Idk. Suggestions?
>>462323bottom left is aislop
>>462515Better than human slop.>>462323Make yeshua's skin darker, and give him a wider, flatter nose. More afrocentric features in general I think. You're close though!
Flame decals on the car, thicker outlines on the text. Some lens flares.
>>462323You need to have a more consistent visual identity. The problem is a lack of vision I guess.Notes:-The various outlines around the "trap" look iffy and how completely different it looks from the Jesus element is jarring.-The bottom text is not really aligned in any good manner. It's interestingly placed but it has no real impact. If it completed the circular shape created by the the positioning of the "Trap Jesus" it'd be cooler looking-the ancient egypt background is useless here and doesn't add anything to the ideas introduced by any of the text. If aqualantis is a cool place that is water themed then why is there a fucking pyramid here?-the space ship idea is out of left field and is better left out or implied in some other symbolic/esoteric way-the car looks like shit-the Poseidon? on the left there looks incredibly bad.I had a better idea for this. I'm no expert mind you, I'm just a guy with too much free time.
it needs additional "bling" to balance the bling of the car.maybe put a audacious jewled cross around jesus neck or an adidas symbol on his robe or maybe a sexy girl in a bikini
Hello My real name is Joe but I have gone by scor online and even built a little following as an editor with it.Im on here cause I have ran into a hurdle I want to venture into more things but going at those things solo is a bit challenging. I have started coding and have built a couple projects but I want some people i can rub ideas with and in my community I am one in many who involve themselves with this.Is there anybody who codes or maybe is into design or technical side of computers?My discord is ScorScor#8524

You guys need to understand something, because when you ask "How do we bring this style back", for any aesthetic you want, you're not getting that these aesthetics didn't exist in a vacuum. They were there to advertise a product, or culture around the product.You won't bring any aesthetic back, you won't create any new kind of aesthetic, if there is no culture behind it. Otherwise, its just wall paper. You're in /gd/ GD is making wallpaper for a product or culture.You have to ask yourself, how is a culture formed, how a culture is made, and how does a culture persists. Because culture is what happens when you're not around. its self reinforcing by the people participating.None of you will bring any kind of aesthetic back without a culture.
I think there has to be a sense of novelty. It can't be a previously trodden path or else it feels like a spent energy, it feels like forcing something that has long since ran its course. Like a meme or music genre, it's not completely dead but its confined to a small clique of aficionados. It cannot captivate large portions of the population anymore so most people move on to something feels fresh and invigorating.Moreover it just feels forced. People naturally aren't inclined to make art like they did 20 years ago (which was largely impacted by the technological means that are no longer there). It's easier and more intuitive to just do what you're used to (generic flatshit) or do something new. People don't naturally do things that happen to faithfully adhere to bygone trends. Just just do whatever.And like a meme, it has to naturally emerge from the zeitgeist. It has to seem like the most befitting thing for the moment. The laser grids of the 80s just aren't gonna cut it for most people.Stuff like synthwave and vaporwave have a niche appeal that likely could never go mainstream. And even then, it is hardly a faithful implementation of retro aesthetics. They are more of a crude indulgence of stereotypes of the 80s & 90s for the purpose of escapism. It's not forward looking like the retro aesthetics that inspire it. These are dead genres for people who are dead inside.
>>462363Looking at OP and this, there just seems to be a sense of individualism on the internet that keeps people from blossoming a movement.People can hone in their own graphic design and style, but to get a great majority of others to follow is a really hard deal. And to have those other people following not seem like a cheap knockoff is harder. Think of AVGN clones.You're either doing something new, or knocking someone off, when you actually get enough skill to not look like an amatuer/everyone else.
>>462363>Just just do whatever*They just do whatever>>462373It might be the case that artistic trends will come to be less centralized over time resulting in a more diverse and compartmentalized landscape. AI is a big game changer too. The ease with which you can generate art might break the death grip Corporate Memphis currently has (which is mainly used due to how braindead & easy it is to create). Targeted advertising may reflect this, for better or worse. Sites that collect data about you may figure out what aesthetics appeal to you and generate ads accordingly. Web design might also similarly opt for a variety of AI generated layouts. I'm sure people are realizing how repugnant Corporate Memphis is to a lot of people. The world is bigger than the oversocialized bugmen and PMC drones that actually enjoy that garbage. I almost think its intentionally bad as a means of driving away interesting people thus lowing competition for themselves.
