IDM's the very specific cross-section of weird/obscure music that also cares enough to make interesting and compelling album art.

Appreciate you guys.

All of these just prove that the collective mass of "designers" is just worse than a single AI doing the job.

All of this crap is just a gazillion filters added to dozens of duplicate layers with absolutely no meaning behind them. It's just as bad as is modern "design".

This is the Untermensch of design. It is not design. It's aesthetics at best.

Does anyone have links to resources to create stuff like this in photoshop?

Hi guys!

Modern Adobe sucks so much fucking dick. Half the UI is now AI bullshit no actual designer is going to touch. Premiere and Media Encoder now use some bullshit Adobe Desktop Audio service which fails half the time so audio is broken and missing on render unless ADA is running. Every program runs like total shit.
I have replaced Illustrator and Photoshop with Affinity, Premiere with Kdenlive. Audition with Reaper. The only 2 things I can't get away from is After Effects and Media Encoder, and if I can't run the latest versions without ruining audio rendering, I'm going to get a cracked version and be done with Adobe. Fucking disgusting that Canva owns Affinity now, but modern Adobe is trying to be much worse and anti-designer than the service that attempted to replace designers with the social media girl. Fuck all this gay homo Adobe bullshit.

Pixelmator Pro is a very good Photoshop alternative, it's gotten better with every release and Apple recently bought them out, Final Cut Pro X is excellent for editing, 90 day free trial, one time purchase no subscription nonsense. There's also DaVinci Resolve and Fusion if you're okay with a node based interface.

>>460491
Is not just Adobe, a lot of things have gotten worse 4ch itself for example, and pirating stuff is skyrocketing because everything has subscriptions also vimeo just got adquired 4 days ago and is probably going down too

The designers who you say aren't going to touch the AI buttons are going to just end up running circles around you in 2-3 years if you keep up this attitude.

how would I edit this to have a realistic looking crack in it? I'm trying to troll my son
>>
>>461916
search google images for similar photos with cracks and broken pieces etc, once you find a few use yandex to get more, use the most realistic high-quality ones, with similar lightning and then copy paste it on top of your pic and blend it on photoshop there's tons of tutorials on yt, or just ask someone at /wsr/ to do a quick job

Put a real crack in it, and then lecture your son about how it's not okay to play with knives.

It looks terrible. What is it for? At least you get some practice. But maybe try to copy something you think is good design. I learn a lot from copying someone i think is great even if im not going to use it.

No. It's the better option for non-professionals, but they have some serious work to do before they can fight Adobe on its home turf. E.g. Affinity don't support RTL text. At all.

I love it, it is fantastic. It SHOULD be the standard. Much easier to learn than adobe stuff. Feels better to use.
>>
It can do the basics but you will eventually run into stumbling blocks. Designer has no vector brushes. There are also no filters for manipulating vectors or vector tracing. It's getting better though with the recent pathfinder tool integration. There were no major updates this year so Canva might not be heavily invested in it.

How is it that adobe still basically has no real competition sure there's alternatives to photoshop, illustrator, premiere pro but from what I've seen none of them really measure up to adobe so what is it that the alternatives aren't doing that would at least put them closer to even playing fields?

Clutterware. Adobe Illustrator seemed over-complicated and had a cancelation fee as well

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.

I've read everyone's posts. Buncha masochist retards the lot of you.
OP, you need to learn marketing. You need sales skills. With those skills you can frame everything you've said into a sales pitch that gets you what you want. Read the book "Positioning" and you will better understand your talents and experience, as well as your craft. Look into the books by marketing experts like Seth Godin.
This will be sufficient in changing your outlook and reversing your career course away from the ditch.
Learn copywriting, improve your storytelling skills. You're gonna be fine.
A lot of you would benefit from goal-oriented therapy.

It's a variation on the sun symbol.

The Aztecs originated in the southwest of the United States.

The Hopi call him Tawa. In Algonquian mythology, the thunderbird controls the upper world while the underworld is governed by the underwater panther or Great Horned Serpent. They are messengers of the Great Sun himself.[
