artistic endeavors are not comfortable career paths. you have to be likeable, charismatic, sociable, but most importantly lucky.

its not impossible, because I've worked with many different companies and businesses of all sizes doing what i'd rather dub as "digital design" because graphic design is only 1 small aspect of what i really do. but i was also extremely lucky, and scored gigs in places most people don't know about because most people can't socialize through the noise.

regardless, it is not very profitable by itself and in order to be profitable you will either have to be a slave to someone else or be a slave to the game of advertising and networking and pretty much never resting until you get some big break. which really shouldn't be a problem if you love the craft enough, but if even a small part of you thinks "this might not be for me" then it probably isn't, because that's not a thought that enters peoples minds that are retarded enough to make it their life (me)

>Who needs originality

Originality in a corporate ID symbology only matters when you are trying to set yourself apart from larger established competitors. When you ARE the largest established player in your space (as all of the companies in the OPs image arguably are) there's little if any value to be gained from trying to be different for its own sake.
The companies in that image that used the quirky, lighthearted "fun" look were all originally using it to identify as something other than the staid, serious, powerful corporate blocs they were up against...it was a way of thumbing their noses at the idea that you had to look, act and *be* one of them to take them on. It's a very astute approach at that start up phase when unproven investment vehicles rely more on "beat the system" ideology and gambling on a long shot to attract money.

Once they gained major market share and clout in their space they took on the same "serious" trappings as the earlier corporate blocs they displaced because that's what is expected of them by investors who now have something concrete to lose if they continue on the more radical and risky path of being upsetters.
Nobody wants or needs to upset a space they virtually own.

Yea, but what you said unironically good. The design panorama needs experimentation and exploration, not this bullshit of safe bets. Even the quirky branding of new premium products are following certain guidelines to make it a safe bet, even this ~Le Fluent Design®~ have a lot of study from souless brands behind. Design zeitgeist nowadays is uninspired and if it migrates back to randos downloading a pirate software and making soulful shit for their pet project, it will unironically lead to a good future, but I doubt it ever will, as nobody has free time anymore to waste.

Hey /gd/

I have a question, if I produce images using illegal versions of Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign, do these images have any metadata that can be tracked to see if they were illegally produced?

and how do I remove such metadata, I tried googling this shit but it doesn't come up with any real answers on this topic

I'm just getting to the point of completing my 4th as well as 5th gd project for my portfolio and want to upload them all to Behance but also still not cause any problems for potential employers.

thanks

Hi. I'm looking for a cheap tablet for light use—simple drawings, note-taking, calligraphy practice, and messing around with Blender. Thinking about the "egee M908," but the few YouTube reviews I found only cover unboxing and the first hour of use. I know you guys have good judgment and experience... Anyone familiar with this model or brand? Is it worth it as an entry-level tablet for a hobbyist/newbie fag?

Does anyone want to design merch for Duolicious? I'll shill your designs and give you 100% of the profits for the first few months.

I know I could use AI, or Fiverr, or Dribbble, or other stuff like that for designs. But all the AI tools I've tried seem hesitant to emulate even the innocuous facets of Twitch culture, let alone 4chan. And I doubt it'll make designs that work well for embroidery, badges, and anything which isn't a direct-to-garment print. Fiverr's work quality is trash and no one replies on Dribbble.

If you're interested, could you post ITT and/or email your portfolio to admin@duolicious.app?

If the purpose of your garments is to garner publicity, you need it to be beautiful, otherwise only cringelords wear memes in public. Except for this one, they're all mostly ugly and this one doesn't even have a readable "call to action" anywhere on it. If you want to generate money from it, then there you should follow different paths—that is the product itself. But as it is designed right now, no heteronormative person will touch it. This leaves you with a bunch of mentally ill women and a plethora of desperate weebs.

Did you completely miss the part about it being a 4Chan -centric dating app?

Quoting OP:
>/a/ and /v/ are the boards which use Duolicious the most. Anime, manga, and gaming are among the most popular interests users have. "Chronically online" users are targeted in Duolicious' app store listings.

The feedback in the Know Your Meme entry makes clear that the user base is exactly the people you are suggesting he try not to appeal to (pic related).

Once again, someone on /gd/ offering commercial art advice that betrays an almost complete lack of even the most basic marketing awareness like "know your audience".

How did I miss anything, since I precisely described your demographic in one line? Or do you actually believe that autists would not prefer a good looking product over what you have now? It seems that you became overly defensive when several people pointed out the glaring obvious. But let me ask you this: why are you trying to market it like a generic sales machine? Why are you applying traditional marketing tactics to a bunch of anti-social, anti-consumerists? Why did you try to shift gears from chan-culture to broad market in an attempt to bring in normies last summer? Was it not your intention to grow it beyond what it is now, i.e. a sausage fest? Why do you look for influencers to increase your audience when that is the opposite of what you claim to be—a closed ingroup of neurodivergents? It seems that you are the one who lacking any experience in managing and growing digital products by selling merch (lmao), and some don't have the name on it, as if someone can guess what brand it represents.

Oh, and by the way, congrats on spreading trans cancer even more.
>>
>>458441
Nta but you're delusional if you think those people are going to buy merch; they're already on Duolicious almost explicitly because they're too autistic for normal dating apps or they are attention-starved whores. The former will not wear them because they are already conscious of their appearance to begin with an wearing a shirt advertising a social reject dating platform will only be worse. The latter will not wear them unless they are exceptionally fashionable because they need IG validation. You're really confident for a retard.
>>
>>458443
I'm not the anon you replied to lol

>Why are you applying traditional marketing tactics to a bunch of anti-social, anti-consumerists?
I'm actually not picky about who buys the shirts or if the shirts serve to market Duolicious. I just need money to advertise to new users, and I don't want to sell subscriptions in the dating app itself because I feel a bit like I'm preying on users' loneliness.

>Why did you try to shift gears from chan-culture to broad market in an attempt to bring in normies last summer?
I get this a lot. About 200k thousand people signed up within a few weeks. It costs big dating apps about a dollar to acquire a user. So your belief is basically that some random anon on 4chan spent $200k to market a completely free dating app to racists on Twitter. Doesn't it seem more plausible that people just posted about Duolicious on the internet cuz "le heckin femcels"?
