more rounded font or a rounded shape for the green stuff

This is a cool concept, the diamond shape obviously looks more lux, and like a button-nose badge you'd see on the front of a car. I would play around with bevel/embossing to add a glossy depth effect. And maybe a chrome border. And try a 0 spread inner-shadow on the diamond shape, to look like light is casting on it and the shadow is captured inside. So...
>bevel/emboss
>inner shadow
>Chrome

The ZV lettering on the second line of your original Pic looks super solid, you can can mixing that with the recommended diamond shape, like copy and paste it over

Unfortunately it is an old version (4.3.0.1694 from 2025) because apparently the Pro uses a server connection to run.

Is graphic design for those with artistic talent, or can it be learned and improved on with practice? I work in publishing chasing writers, copyediting and laying out books in InDesign but since I began doing this for my company’s magazines I’ve fallen in love with them. I want to be part of the design for the magazines and pivot away from the editorial/production side of the business but I fear I have no artistic talent and it would just be a waste of time.

I know what I like and don’t like but is that plus practice enough? Must you have that natural artistic talent to succeed in designing books and magazines? I guess this could be generally discussed about graphic design as a whole, too. Did any of you suck at drawing/handwriting but now can make beautiful designs?

yeah, not really into your choice of modes.

i politely said i didnt agree with you, regarding your intro premise

then i politely and briefly noted other disagreements in each of your items. youre welcome to address them specifically, per having an actual dialogue vs whatever you are doing presently.

just because there are blind people doesnt mean painters shouldnt paint and advocate for its potential and power.

but yes, i was not considering the widest net and broadest set of environmental and informational design. its great to see some tactile design. all for it. that you need to turn to the tactile as a general counterargument to me tho is kinda the point. people do semiotics, do signs, do models for hands, but are ignorant of straight visual art. thats all ive got to say. enjoy your game theory.

id love to design some tactile environmental guides and some artworks. and then I would be advocating for the tactile, as opposed to semiotics, or signs, or game theory. et al.

you do you :D

>painters shouldn't paint
who tf said something like that? arguing that gd *can be defined* in a way that precedes existence of the visual somehow makes me deny vision to be an important modality for communication?? :D
you are telling me that the object in the expo picrel is NOT also graphic design (even when you disregard the purely visual features like color)? by your understanding knowledge about layout, hierarchy, structure are NOT coming from the *study and practice of gd*?! lofl

>other disagreements
1) I define vision as being a whole quarter of what makes the aristotelian framework (namely the material cause)
2) correct, the *signified* is NOT visual, but tends to be delivered through mostly visual *signifiers*
3) not to mention I even stated "both encoded through the same visual means" in that exact definition, my bruv

>ignorant of straight visual art. thats all ive got to say.
who is ignorant of straight visual art? they even made the board-for-blind-people visually appealing as to not pollute the space for those with a pair of working eyes.(?)

we do us ;)
>>
>>464737
>a whole quarter
thats a joke, right?

>
signifiers dont matter. the difference between them matters. they can be ghastly and ugly and whatever the fuck. irrelevant. signifiers dont rely on positive visual qualities, just differences.

again, the weird turn to your "board"

you do you, you aint us. its ok.

>signifiers
exactly. for that reason new trends and fashions tend to start out as something "ugly", until their signified shapes into something that is considered desirable, retroactively turning the ugly attractive...

>continuously weird turn
and *conveniently* you continue trying to avoid actively interacting with it

well, I gladly do me instead of us! :)

Hi everyone, I recently started doing illuminated texts and I'm having a hard time with gouache and just being generally skilless. Is there any program out there mimicking aquarelle painting enough that it can help you practice? Rebelle? Krita? Corel painter? Using the new wacom intuos

Thank you
>>
Get some calligraphy samples and clipart from the internet, lay paper on your screen and lightly trace it, then try your gouache to create the shspe, most likely you aren't using any water on your brush, use moist sponge and rinsing jar, swish brush to wet it, wipe backwards on sponge to remove excess, get paint on tip of brush and wipe again to thin and remove clumps, now paint, thrn rinse in jar, repeat, never let brush dry unless it's clean, whole time moist, thin the gouche as needed, use damp tracing paper on moist sponge as wet palette for thinning paint and mixing colors, watch miniature figure painters a lot to learn how to handle the brush and use every kind of deather and metal quill pen or calligraphy pen you can to practice, remember to rule out your lines or use a lightbox with lined paper behind your sheet to follow along. Digital pens don't really work like real pens or brushes and won't help much, it's a separate skill. Use egg washes and acrlic mediums to slow drying time of paint or for thinning in a more fluid way than just with water alone. It's all about controlling the moisture level. I'd recommend painting larger than you'd think. Moist manuscripts are pretty large and small flaw in measurements on large scale isn't a big deal, on small scale looks horrible, so practice bigger rather than smaller. Characters should be about thumbnail size for reference. Usually five to seven nibs tall when using a calligraphy pen and basically square in ratio as though made of lead or a wood block. Think of the spacing of the whole word as a horizontal block instead of as a single letter at a time, that will give you handsome easy to read text.

Prograns can mimic watercolor yes, in the sense that you will hold the pen and move it like a brush and the computer will approximate what would then happen irl (I have rebelle and can confirm) But YOUR particular situation is such that it will not help you ONE BIT. Your attitude is a big problem as well, you're like one of those idiots that cant be bothered to pick up a pencil and then claim to use ai because art was "gatekept" by artists (??lmao)

If you put pencil to paper and sometimes watercolor to paper for a couple weeks you'd improve much more than if you pretended to do so on a screen for the next year(or until you lose interest in the mirace software that didnt teach you by itself).

Seems like it was sort of legit from the 50's through the 90's.
By the 2000's it was ultra competitive.
By the 2010's, it was a fake job for women. Any man who studied it took a few gigs and a low end job or two before just moving onto some other field.
But I get your point, when someone tells me they're a graphic designer, I immediately assume they're unemployed or make $15/hr at a print shop.
