Gimpbros is it out time?
Idiot traders think AI is going to replace dedicated graphic design apps.
>>462336The latest gimp was actually pretty good, I have to use it from time to time.
It's Corel's time to shine, baby!
>>462336tf happened in january
Looks like we'll never get premiere for Lanix now.
hello, just trying to get better at graphic design. i've read "basic principles of design" by maier and "grid systems" by muller-brockmann. i still struggle to figure out how other designers make and use complex grids for their work. does anyone have any resources or advice for this?also, i primarily use illustrator and indesign (for long form text) atm. does anyone use photoshop for their designs and if so, why and what do u use it for? do u have any concerns about quality of print?pic related
>>462806>resources or advice for this?The best way to learn is with courses from domestika/lynda/skillshare, especially the ones that have project files, from there you can dissect the files and go layer by layer inspecting and messing with everything, also a lot of schools make you recreate artworks you find inspiring from scratch you learn a lot from that, and some studios have websites where you can learn the most important part which is the case study, meaning a breakdown in writing and step by step, of what the brief was, the problems, the process and solution. Once you do some case studies you'll be able to communicate more clearly your design decisions and convince people of your expertise, which is a big part of graphic design.A cheaper or free alternative is on gumroad you can find freebies for layouts and useful things for learning design fundamentals.>does anyone use photoshop for their designs and if so, why and what do u use it for?Photoshop is the standard for posters, the main reason is you can work really fast, you can create custom grids like nothing else, and is the best for doing anything with photography or bitmap elements, though I prefer illustrator, and indesign if there's multiple pages.Also watch:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzarZJXEDmI
desu, i think the designs on domestika and skillshare are garbage but i'll check gumroad out. case studies are a good suggestion. thank u.ty for the photoshop answer as well, clears up the questions i had about it. i used to be photoshop-pilled but heard a lot of people talk about raster stuff and got concerned.
Finally gave in and now be calling my transparent PNG graphics as "cutout" because the transniggers can't stop making 2016 memes about their stupid ass culture. That fucking trans-parent joke gave me bubonic plague for how shit that joke was.
>>462803Wiz dancing cutout as compensation
if you can't use words without feeling selfconscious about some random bsky shitters i think that's a you problem...though cutout is a better word for what it describes anyway

How's GIMP 3.0?
>>462435I take all that back but it took me 3-4 hours to get into it as a noob and with a simple task, now I want to do more
i downloaded in through microsoft storedid i dun goof
>>462437same anon here, after 8 days, Gimp is awesome, 3.0, okay, could be a bit better sometimes in the interface but I don't use shortcuts yet, that could help. Also it crashes every once in a while so save your work often.
>>462506same anon 14 days later, shit still good, i can restore old images now it's fun but takes time unless you've done a lot of itGimp and Inkscape as a combo is an great swiss army knife
>>460041> cmykDon’t tell him you can convert to/from rgb to cmyk and “magical” pantone colors

Best fucking console UI of all time, everyone and even their grandmas knew how to use this thing.
>>460113yea SOOO TRUE! big text that reads "MEMORY" "MUSIC" "XBOX LIVE" "SETTINGS" is WAAAAY TOO complicated, it would imply that you would have to be able to read
>>459470thanks to the retarded autist that think music are loud and causing anxiety. why retards and women are allowed to play vidya???

I'm more partial to this
In case you weren't aware, submissions are open for a little under 3 more days for this logo design contest! (2 days, 23 hours from this post, more or less.) Once all the designs are in, ranked-choice vote decides the main graphical element for the next 4chan inter-board CPU soccer cup!(Yes this is the 2023 Autumn design; it's coincidentally being hosted by /co/ again, so cartoon and comic inspired designs are not necessary, but will probably do well. That and 2024 Autumn was hosted by the pony board and I don't wanna risk breaking containment.)Per the organizer: you must supply a high-res PNG file (5000x5000 limit) and the original multi-layer source file. Additionally, you must supply a "qualifiers" version/variant as well as the main logo. Submissions should be sent to his Gmail account, which can be found on the wiki proper. Asset links below!https://implyingrigged.info/wiki/File:4cc-cloverleaf-logo.pnghttps://implyingrigged.info/wiki/File:4cc-cloverleaf-logo.svghttps://implyingrigged.info/Traditional_Clover_Ball.aihttps://implyingrigged.info/Traditional_Clover_Ball.pnghttps://implyingrigged.info/Traditional_Clover_Ball.svgHEY ALSO: /gd/ does in fact have its own team, and we're up again for "proof of interest" to demonstrate if the users of the board wanna compete or not. Do we?
time to complain about bad typesetting in your douj because we're about to play /h/ right now!!!
Well, it's down to this: we're hoping on a miracle against the horses with personalized logos on their asses, and a tie isn't enough. Game setup is now, kickoff shortly.(If this is the end of the cup for us, I'm considering bowing out. The team deserves a real manager, with tactics and new Kernings to enjoy. Even if I say keeping the lights on is "better than nothing" that might not actually be true. It's up to you: carry on, or hibernate again?)
...well, we got at least one more game next weekend and an Elite in 3 months, so put a pin in that until after Winter I guess!
The free sample isn't enough anymore, pirate the full typeface because we need those hiragana characters: It's /jp/ time!
Well damn that was an ass-whoopin'. Still, for an autopilot, we stole a promotion! And we avoid a new worst loss AND worst loss of the day... I guess. GGs /jp/.Thanks to staff for Kernanyo; I still really can't commit to give the team the love it deserves (at least alone...) but I promise to continue providing life support at least long enough for Winter.
What's the TinkerCAD equivalent of 3D mesh design

AFFINITY IS FUCKING DEAD. It's a zombie propped up by corporate PR bullshit and if you're still defending it, you are a literal, medically diagnosable retard.`>SOLD OUT TO FUCKING CANVA``>THE APP FOR INSTAGRAM INFLUENCERS AND HR DEPARTMENTS MAKING FLYERS FOR THE COMPANY POTLUCK``>CEO "promises" they won't force a subscription on us.``>OH YEAH? FOR HOW LONG? UNTIL V3?``>WE ALL KNOW WHAT'S COMING: A SLOW, PAINFUL TRANSITION INTO A BROWSER-BASED, SUBSCRIPTION-ONLY, AI-SLOP-GENERATING PIECE OF SHIT.`They were the CHOSEN ONE. They were supposed to be the one company that wasn't trying to ram a subscription fee up our ass every single month until we die. The one place you could actually OWN your goddamn tools.But no. They took the money. They bent the knee to the same corporate logic that created the Adobe monopoly in the first place. All that "for the creatives" talk was just marketing.Enjoy your "magic AI logo generator" that shits out the same 5 generic logos. Enjoy the forced cloud integration that holds your own files hostage.Im going back to the high seas, anons. There's no escaping it now. I paid for affinity but if they keep doing this shit im outta here.
>>462374Oktober 30th will tell.
>>462374posts that aged like shit award
>>462728did it? they changed the logo and are now using it as a user data harvesting platform giving it out for "free" in a sketchy promise to the investors that it will train neural network agents that will eventually replace graphic designers and generate enormous amount of profit somehow.sounds very reliable thing to base my projects on long term.

I'd like to use it for booklets. Does it render text correctly? What are its main issues in this application?
>>462618>*stops starting up the moment the company goes belly up and the program not able to reach the servers anymore*
>>462615it works but you can never import files from another program without it messing up text format and other things.and exported pdf turns out shit all the time. have to find the one single export setting that kinda works. at least in old versions.
>>462623>it works but you can never import files from another program without it messing up text format and other things.Scribus has the exact same problem but it's even worse because their devs just say that all other programs are doing formatting wrong and they do it the RIGHT way completely ignoring the fact that their shit program literally eats parts of the imported data without telling the author about it. So in the end you end up with missing parts.
>>462619>niggers doesn't know about firewall in 2000+25
>>462623My PDFs turn out great but I'm not a pro. I had one instance when I had a problem when I wrapped text around a circle and exported to PDF, it drew a thin circle at the base of the text, which I fixed by combining the text and the original circle (a target logo) into the same object, or something, or a bitmap maybe.>>462615It does render text correctly yes. But that's a weird question.
Is it retarded to use fountain pens?
>>454718>>454720Can you make a basic family tree complete with parents, couples, and siblings?>See key
>>461902I use black pens and have a lot of blacked clothing
I like ink
>>460543Many people will recommend Chinese brands such as Jinhao. But, I would suggest either the Pilot Metropolitan or the Kakuno (they have faces). The Pilot pens are rather inexpensive and write smooth.
>>460180It's frustrating. Almost nobody uses them IRL and the two fountain pen forums and the subreddit have a demographic that usually angers me. I think the poster above is right that this "hobby" draws a higher-than-normal anxiety enthusiasts. >>462736The most annoying thing about fountain pens is that many dry out, whether within days or weeks or months. Therefore my primary suggestion is to get one that does not do this. To achieve this, get a screw-off style cap instead of a snap on/off cap (the snap mechanism requires the cap has tiny holes in it, to prevent a vacuum that would pull ink out). The best company for this is Platinum because they have a "Slip and Seal" technology that is known to keep the nib wet, even when stored unused for months. As a beginner I would suggest buying two Platinum Preppys, in in a fine and one in a medium. This should get you an idea of what it's all about with a cheap, reliable pen that is not going to annoy you. And they come with a little bit of ink.To upgrade this order slightly, get one or two converters to go with the preppy and some ink samples that appeal to you. Much of the joy in fountain pens is in playing with different ink colors, and converters allow you to swap colors with just a bit of cleanup in between.
There's context: Now i'm trying port models from game "Megaglest" To Warcraft 3 world editor. Megaglest's models was in format "g3d", and i have a lot of butthurt to open them. But finally i dd it. But there's a new problems:I can open them in blender 2.90 with special add-on. I can play their animation, and their textures are correct. Anything is good, right?But to open them in " Retera's model studio", or "Matrix Eater 3d", or in 3ds max, i need to convert them to other format. And there's the first trouble. Format OBJ - Freely opening in any other program, but absolutely no animation. Format FBX - I hear that he can save animation, but in the practice, programs can't open this file with this format. And i sacrifice the animation, to open model in Retera's model studio.. But when i did this, model has no textures.. And i wonder why? When i trying to forcely wrap textures on model, program claiming the error. And i was trying various formats. Blp2, png, mtl, but nothing ever happens and i CAN'T UNDERSTAND. PLEASE HEEEEELP...
