How is this software on Linux for anyone who got it working? It is free and I think going back to GIMP just feels like being an abused GF going back to the psycho boyfriend for more abuse in the sense of being let down by GIMP.I'm a fa/tg/uy looking to make digital diorama pics where painted soldier models have muzzle flashes and filters to make the photos look cinematic.
I think it will take too much work to make it work on windows Maybe try check out Fog Panther
>>464679I meant on linux fuck
I know you can get the current Affinity app running, I know it was a single command instal, I just don't remember where I got it from

where can i browse for old internet / random images / tacky graphics to make stuff like pic related? i feel like there's only so much you can do with pinterest
>>462956flickr. you can filter by years. sort by interesting
I don't know, image fap website, a lot of old nsfw content. Maybe FREE dot BINARIES on usenet archives for photos, old geocitues sites archived on the wayback machine, photograph clip art cd isos https://archive.org/details/12500-photo-collection/
Look for the photo cds in these collections, uae iso reading software to open the file after downloading the uso files https://archive.org/details/retailtherapybananastock2004/https://archive.org/details/photoclipart
>>462956sometimes if im bored on my phone i google image search random combinations of words like “chinese china machine wholesale industrial” followed by random numbers and letters and words and see what i get. just did this for few minutes and collected these. you could try different countries too i guess. maybe this can help you find something useful :-)
>>464937did some more
How's GIMP 3.0?
>>464536https://docs.gimp.org/3.0/en/gimp-filter-normal-map.htmlYes. I have made textures with it and it does a good job.
I made a Paint.NET clone for the browser. https://mtothexmax.github.io/paint.svelte/Shall I wrap it in tauri and release it on Linux?
wow this board is fucking dead, >550 day old thread about gimp you bumped for your vibe coded slop. sage
>>464930desu I think we like it like that
I think Affinity is better than gimp. Affinity UI is also similar to photoshop UI.
How do I get textures like this? It almost looks hand-drawn, but I think it's some sort of filterPrefer to not use AI
Another example
Could be illustration, look up Joe Frontel
thats two blue note covers look up the designeralso, convert image to balck and white, do some exposure shifting and fuck with some filters, draw your color blocks, bang andre the giant has a posse
It's a threshold adjustment layer.Play with curves & exposure like >>464914 says (if you need more fine detail, you can add a high-pass filter before the threshold adjustment, though expect to manually erase portions of this since it can sometimes retain too much detail), then drop threshold on top. Threshold basically makes all colors in the image either fully black or white, with no grey valuesFlatten the image, then Magic Wand select all the black & copy onto a new layer. Put this on a solid color background. From there you manually paint the colors back in underneath

Anons this is HELL, been trying to get into UX/UI design for a couple of months now. Had a couple of interviews with some companies and shit's rough, the one that went the farthest seemed like they only wanted me for a SINGLE personal project I did in college that they probably wanted me to explain in detail to steal the idea. How tf do I get a foot in? I'm so fucking tired of working a non 9-5. I need some stability (even if mind-numbing) in my life.
>>464898Unless you have connections, nowadays it's gonna be hard finding a stable job as a graphic designer at this point become a prostitute you'll have more margin there
>>464898Get a loan, start a company, then be the graphic designer for that company. Congratulations, you are now employed in the field of your choice.
Random "Nova Nix" from @ChromaPfp_ (x) cold DMs people on Discord with fake small talk then pushes her "professional" art commissions. Links her Twitter and https://www.pfpchroma.com/.The site is a complete joke: "Featured Artwork" shows "2 / 30" with nothing there. Counters read fake years experience, Recent projects are some stolen garbage like "Inferno sports" that's literally catching itself just by clicking search this tab with google lense , "Sakura Website", "Restuarant Website" (misspelled), all fake with fake images. Whole portfolio is AI copied filler.After saying no she instantly begs: "I have to pay the rent on my house, but I don't have any money right now, can you plzz help me?"This stupid cunt and her kind are why real artists can't get jobs and why people lose money to scammers. Fake portfolios, stolen/traced/AI slop passed as custom work, aggressive rent sob stories in DMs.Fuck these motherfuckers. Someone DDoS her shitty server until it stays down. SWAT her ass for running this fraud. Report the domain, mass report her Twitter, reverse image search every piece she posts and expose the theft.Don't give these talentless Indian hustlers a single cent. They ruin the scene for everyone.Screenshots: full DMs + google lens selections attached.https://imgur.com/a/4SRK0jOWho else got hit? Drop her alts.Let's bang that cunt.
lmao you got scammed by this OP? I ain't clicking that link but good luck with your war against the jeets
"her" probably one of ranjeets 700 accounts
>>464058There are a lot of e-beggars when it comes to young/foreign graphic designers that have no idea how the professional world works. Most of them steal stock assets and try to repost them as their own work. I've actually had an art student give me their portfolio for professional work.>Hey, I know we met a while back but can you look at my portfolio? >Open it in a VM, >It doesn't even have a CSS wrap on it>A majority of the art work is licensed fan work>The other half is half finished WIP projects and over ambitious animated show pitches.They over promise, then drop out with a myriad of excuses in order to steal money from their victims. Then they just wipe the account, ghost everyone and start again.If you got scammed by a DMhon, it's really your own fault for not doing more research and actually putting money into some rando that messaged you online. Just do a background search and make sure the artist has a firm history and social connections you can pull on before you give them a ton of money.
>>464058how much they soak you for this time? was it google play gift cards again?

I like the modern thick round color-circle G letter. If it was 2010 I would think it's some photo-film or paint company but not it's easy to recognize. However the rest of the title looks a little bit plain. And honestly it's quite a stupid logo in all iterations. Like that 'g' from 2013, wtf is that, a map with a white road on it? What works well is their vibrant recognizable color palette. not a designer
Is it retarded to use fountain pens?
>>454718I like em for drawing
i just gold my first gold nib montblanc used for under $50 shipped. you too can do so if you look for used pens in japanese domestic marketplace. yahoo japan, mercari japan and use a proxy shipping service like sendico. my thirdworld ass got a hold of 70s montblanc 320p this way. if you want to get gold nibs this is the cheapest way i know. the same listings in these places are reposted on ebay with higher prices, why not go straight to the source? gold mine for japanese pens 70s-90s and montblanc too surprisingly. my theory is they hoarded a lot of luxury before 90s japan crash.
>>462737I'm left-handed, how boned am I if I want to try fountain pen? Is there at least any ink that dries fast enough to not smudge as I write?
i just updated my muji set. inks getting harder to find tho. no cartridges i buy from elsewhere seems to work.
>>459949I wish there was a stationery general somewhere, the subject just doesn't seem to fit definitively into any single board. Although with how people that are really into stationery collecting treat it, maybe it's secretly a /toy/ subject.
This is the board to talk about Heraldry, right?(Pic rel.) is peak heraldic design, prove me wrong
>>464641wtfyou think putting a hat on it makes it fancy?
>>464644Yes
>>464645fine. do the comedy face one so we have the pair.
>>464633What's good Heraldry design?I want to design a coat for me as a person and perhaps one for my family.Even on that, I don't know the rules, for example, should they be the same? Should they converge? Be totally different? One use the other?I know there are color rules too.
>>464633If today's generation would design their own heraldry it would all be simple shapes, nothing complex, just like modern flag design. It's ugly and boring and it lacks depth.
What is the next big aesthetic wave after Flat Design going to be? How much longer will Flat Design last?
>>456970the next aesthetic is going to be a frutiger aero + flat design like liquid glass, everything apple does is copied by everyone
>>462026>we globally prefer lying to ourselves by willfully accepting to call monopolistic datacenter-gigacorporations-with-insight-into-every-persons-character-and-life by their self-given names à la "social media" and "recommendation system" in exchange for them making us feel connected to the increasingly faceless system of symbols that is contemporary internet.wtf seems spot on
>>464546It's just the flat and rounded design we have now, but with translucency and transparency applied.
I'm just gonna leave this here
>>464798This is what I was hoping the next Tron was going to look like after Legacy.
https://openai.com/index/introducing-chatgpt-images-2-5/Yeah.... Graphic designers are even more sadly even more deep down in the hole
>>464801Who is still doing graphic design in 2026? Especially without having done a deep dive on AI use?>>464805It's been dead for at least a decade and was probably always a meme career. No one except women stay in the field more than a few years without graduating to something better paying, more interesting, and more gratifying.
>>464807somehow I still have a job doing graphic design, it's moreso designs for signage than anything else. However I am sure I will be fired / laid off in the near future, I am praying to win the powerball before that happens.
Yep I barely do it anymore, thank fuck it wasn't my main income.At this point its just a good skill to know that I can utilize.As for Ai in general at least Chat GPT is attempting to make its self user friendly. Google ai is getting reports that it's arguing with users, probably salty H1B programmers that got pissy they had to put in some kind of rebuttable output.Why the hell some basic bitch "ai" is arguing with people rather than saying something like "sorry I can't do that" is crazy.Long term unless your say a print shop graphic design is kind of dead a bit like guys who used to carve horse and cart wheels sure there was some demand for a while but eventually there really wasn't.
>>464831Yep most of what I do in that industry its because people know I'm reliable and unlike ai or some random in India I'll actually fix the problem rather than trying to nickle and dime them or ignore them.
>>464805CS+GD+Vibecoding mega pro gamer 7000 can still be very good. The AI still produces slop, way too noticable.
First pic is the logoI'm redesigning my site and want to go in the direction of a Frutiger Aero/Skeuomorphism vibe, where, the site currently looks like this: eccomuse.comWhat do you think of the logo, the sidebar that holds the logo and the slide bar? How can i improve it?What do you think about the Frutiger metro infographic i made? How can i improve it, if possible, a friend said the color takes away from the background, but i dont think thats a bad thing
and finally this is the infographic in a frutiger metro style
>>464444epic quads are epic.Maybe change the font, its either the typeface or the drop shadow throwing it off imo
>>464443The placement of the music note should be more in the center of the circle shape formed by the colored lines. The lighting and reflections on the colored lines should match the lighting of the purple circle under them. Logo in the 3rd image can work with that background if it's made smaller but overall I agree with your friend, that background and logo would work better together if the logo was chrome or had a matching palette. The metro infographic combines too many colors and shouldn't use any gradients. you should avoid gradient shading or any kind of shading and limit yourself to a smaller color palette for frutiger metro stuff
The note, ring of bars, and circle all need to be aligned to the same center. Right now they disagree and it's jarring.The varied lengths of the colored bars in a ring might blend better into the background disc if the background disk had consistent-length insets for each of the bars to sit in. So a ring of 20 recessed bars of equal length that match the disc color, acting as 'grooves' that the colored bars sit in. This suggests the bars are forming some kind of equalizer set to different levels.I'd actually try doing 24 recessed bars, and the four at the cardinal positions are empty.
>>464443Bro, it's an interesting idea and thank god somebody is doing something different, but this looks vibecoded slop almost at it's finest. It is non-responsive too. There are many things to fix. I won't tell you directly because I believe it's important that you learn it by yourself!Regarding the design itself though, it looks skeuomorphic but of the low quality type you saw back in the day. Perhaps that's your intention though.
