Give me some good reasons why CARI is not a good source of information for design and why should be avoided like the plague . They do some research at least unlike aesthetics wiki in which makes things up. If they are bad what can be done to fix it?
>>459090speaking of that here's one of them doing a presentation of the stuff they made up https://youtu.be/DWIvHh6qSxA
>>459090so CARI will go the same way as lost media wiki.
>>459090Forgot to add "What (imagery, aspirations, ideas of cool) is an aesthetic trying to sell?" There's some (not much but some) emphasis on CARI on the role of marketing, but almost zero in the "consumer aesthetics community" as a whole even though it's the reason this shit even exists, beyond some vague idea of "the future we promised" for FA as if Big Tech only began to sell the future in 2006>It doesn't help that their site layout makes these aesthetics look much more rigid and walled-off than they actually are.Adding to this, what CARI does through their site design/layout isA) Formalize/flanderize these aesthetics. Diffuse vibes like "Global Village Coffeehouse" and "Ultramodern Revival" that had no leaders, origin or scene are presented alongside movements like Memphis or Superflat that did, while it pulverizes works together into slop by emphasizing The Aesthetic over their individual traits. A web of influences becomes a pile of water balloons, externally disconnected and internally homogeneous. It discourages designers from breaking the non-existent rules of the aesthetics and results in works that look like AIs trained on individual Aesthetics Wiki pagesB) Present aesthetics as the sum total of commercial design, even if most consumer art does not fall neatly into one (or any) of them. If aesthetics are your only lens for looking at design (again, it's not for CARI's founders but they're creating people for whom it is), you're going to miss shit like the works of Karim Rashid, who you can't tell the story of 2000s design without, but whose work approaches 4-5 CARI aesthetics without fully inhabiting any of them"avoid at all costs" for CARI is too harsh, aestheticfaggotry just makes it too easy to develop bad habits if you're a designer. it can be fun if you're a layman because it'll open your eyes up more to the seemingly-throwaway art around you but if you're here you should be past that point>>459098It's to /gd/ what TV Tropes is to /tv/
>>458925They get a little carried away with the categorization. Some of the stuff, like 'Neon Ooze', just seems like some thing that was commonly marketed rather than a legit aesthetic. Dubious categorization notwithstanding, the site is pretty cool (better than the Aesthetics Wiki imo). If I'm not careful, I'll end up spending hours browsing all the fascinating art styles.>>458926I means chuds don't really touch this stuff. They're still mostly unaware there's more aesthetics out there than the 4 displayed in that aesthetics quadrant image that gets spammed on this site. So you create a vacancy where libs are free to fill the void. The Aesthetics Wiki is even more insufferably Reddit. At least Evan had it in him to cover the buttrock aesthetic:https://www.are.na/evan-collins-1522646491/post-grunge-maximalism >>458935He's definitely not someone I'd ever want anything to do with. But I can still appreciate his contributions to the study of aesthetics, much as I can appreciate a book or essay or article written by a lib. I don't have to agree with someone's warped worldview to find valuable things among their intellectual output.
>>459090most of this happens on their discord, stay there for 5 minutes and realize they're full of bullshit, it's a bunch of adhd teenagers having a hard on categorizing everything, there is no encyclopedic effort, just posting whatever they collect on are.na and pretend to have a critical analysis of it
Does anyone have a rotating animated solar system project in MayaI just lost all my work due to a crash and my boss needs something like it promtoIt doesn't need to be textured so does anyone have a file?
I dislike Pepe the Frog.
>>459008You're in the wrong neighborhood, pal.
yo mommab.
Which one do you like the most?
>>458783Exactly the same two I would say.
>>458780top left corner, FUJI HQ
>>458780Recotonbackground grids are basically a cheat code
>>458780https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9DfSCk-6Ko
I actually like the Avanti design. Simple, but eyecatching. But the Fuji HQ design with the mosaic of color is also prime aesthetic.
This link is down, does anyone have a copy of fonts.zip from the pinned thread?
Got a mirror?
I heard that calling companies and annoying them with your stuff is what you have to do to get a foot in this industryI don't get it personally. Why don't people take E-Mails seriously, they just ignore it. Why is making a call so important, what makes it so different?
>>457674Most trans/non-binary people I’ve seen worked in retail
>>457719bravo, lad
Calls grab attention
>>457633do both and be annoying always..i need some new wallpapers coz its 2025 isnt this a gd board help me i am trying to ai make some but not good enough please help i have 2 minutes
>>459227ok found wallpaper board
How bad are these? Can they be saved?I'm not really a graphic designer. I thought it was good enough but I showed it to someone and they didn't even get what it was supposed to be.
>>459210wait what lmaoin a good way or a bad way? maybe will job seekers want to "hunt down" better jobs like the predator hunted arnold
>>459208At first glance, both monograms look like they are missing something, like there is something above them that is blocking the vision. At second glance, the first one look like a handshake, and the bottom one looks like there is one guy about to give a hug and the other one is like "oh no bro, just a handshake, please, wtf".The "Career Pep" does not have ANYTHING that connects is to the logo beyond the proximity and have no distinct feature on itself, it is just written and that is it, you can have one of those problems, but not both.Take a step back, get your research, get what you were trying to convey, get your first drafts, and review it. You took a leap in the process instead of letting the research and studies guide you.
>>459216thanks for the genuine feedback, appreciate that. Yeah they're supposed to be handshakes, and the 2nd one is supposed to be cheering because he "got the job," but I can see why it sucks I just couldn't figure out why lolThe site it's for is supposed to build user's confidence and interview skills in preparation for job interviews. But I think it was way too abstract and just made no sense. I feel like something more in this direction would work better.
>>459217I am the >>459216 anon. This new versions are really better, good job, I feel it is going to the right direction.The only problem I see is this connection that I don't like and I do feel that in the printed materials and reductions may be a pain in the ass.Fix that and then show to your peers/contractors/people in the know to get feedback on it. Keep the good work.
>>459217Different anon here...I never would have gotten any sense of that even though it is easily read/ remembered as Career Prep...which it is in a sense, but that's not the name. It's supposed to be unmistakable, like a cattle brand."Pep" isn't a very commonly used word outside of advertising and school rallies but people still know that it means high energy and spirits and liveliness or to add those qualities by "pepping up" some one or thing. Because of all that the typeface you use can easily point in a different direction and kill any sense of Pep by being too staid and conservative and sober. It doesn't have to be zany high school Pep rally poster lettering but it's a casual term and any clash between that term and more serious business standards has to be sorted out to get the idea across...who is the audience and what will attract them? In keeping with the "pep" thing, handshakes are out, fist thrusts are better but too loaded a symbol...but a high five is both casual and instantly recognizable as something indicating circumstances of intense Pep.Picrel is a generic symbol, you could mirror your figure and develop your own version.But FWIW all of those symbols like handshakes and hugs and high fives are some of the most oversaturated logo ideas in personal services- almost cliche- so don't box yourself in.Just emphasizing the two words so that the Pep part suggests a pepping up occurring- maybe with color or two typefaces or bolding or italicizing or AOTA.
pic related was my search on duckduckgo for "vapowave gradient pixel art" (NOTE NOT EVEN THE CORRECT SPELLING)and there you have it. a watermarked "Oh you need this gradient thingy I made in about ten seconds and slapped a big VectorStock® on it and called it a day waiting for the eventual "busy but clearly too busy to ever dejpegnoise your malarky lengths of what exactly?You see this shit? Its a jpeg of something that could be more easily generated with slight to little (which is already eons above the average graphic designer) effort in MSpaint. (not dogging paint btw, that was an actual good for humanity win by microsoft with that genius softwae)no im talking about the endless brainless revolting race to exploit peoples laziness on google images. What? So I need to pay to use your fucking checkers? Give me a fucking break with your art degree on your wall bitch. now in the next post, you will see, after many sharpen layers and some color curve adjustments, just what im talking about, this shit is so psychologically primal subversion tactics it makes the amount of jpeg noise hurt my SOVL OI VEY
>>459080Unrelated, but your MSpaint art is beautiful. Keep up the good work. <3
>>459081
>>459080Cool af
>>459080MS Paint thread? Hell yeah.Here's my favorite dithering gradient with a x4 magnification. I'd searched for ages to find an anti flicker dithering pattern for CRT's, and eventually made my own.
>>459194that is so fucking cool
Can anyone give me some ideas for a logo design with the word vivafication in it
>>458565vivafuckofftion, maybe?>3000x4000
>>458565Do I look like I'm an AI agent to you?
>>>/wsr/
>>458565I slaved over this logo for hours OP
Early 2000s webdesign
All those designers, where are they now? What are they doing now?
Woah
>>457260i remember this site. Do modern sites use images sliced like this anymore? Nothing is stylized like this anymore really. I think ill make something like this for my person site once again with sliced ps images with css.
>>457260I really do miss deskmod
>>456516Neocities for hosting.SeaMonkey Composer for editor.
hey friends, what do you think, any opinions? i tried to remember as much asian as i could so that the cover could look as artful as possible. it's just a compilation of awful tracks i made over the decades and i wasnt even in asia i was in pittsburgh and whatever, but i was, however, asian
lol! あの, 外国人さん?!
Is this some latest meme we should be aware of.
>>459203lol no, i am being difficult towards some folk who i know lurk wherever i post. but hey, if all things go well me and them alike will leave altogether lol!
I was watching a Minecraft ARG video when I saw this font (the image) and I liked itDoes anyone know what it is? I think its a bold variation of somethingThanks!
Alfarn
Thanks!
Is it retarded to use fountain pens?
Not at all
Nope. You can write pretty letters with them.
>>454718No practical benefit
>>454718No they feel nice
no you can do things like deliberate thickness o' lines n' funny blots n' smudges and then you can stab someone with it. just a feather? heh, sure, stab me with that? better have good aim! one o' those deliberate steel ballpoint pens whats MADE for stabbin'?! heh, well go ahead, write like the papyrus font irl with that, go ahead, i'll wait. /:-]
Any Feedback?
>>45885124 years too latengmi

draw nigger boy holding chicken
>>458851Probably study anatomy more, the arms on the leftmost one are really thin and the torso is quite long. Also don't list to >>459099 he's a pedo faggot
yes i see you drew the one character with larger eyes than the others to convey that this character will show more emotion throughout the series, very interesting!
how to master the basics of composition, color and typography. give book/video course recommendations
>>459147For composition, I love the book "making and breaking the grid" by timothy samara.For general design thinking, not the meme way but the "we should design useful things that people understand how to use" i would highly recommend you to read "the design for everyday things" by Don Norman.For typography, "The Elements of Typographic Style" by Robert Bringhurst will help you learn more about type and to take decisions on what type will work best. Old The Futur youtube videos about typography are high quality. The futur also produce good interviews and did produce good videos to learn, but their business tips are basically snake oil salesman tips.From there I would take a look on online courses. Lynda had a bunch of good courses before they were bought by linkedin that i believe can still be torrented from cgpeers or similar trackers.No book here is the end of it all, you will still read more shit, but they will give you a good baseline so you can advance of what you are lacking at the moment. Also, nothing here will make you master just by reading. You need to apply it in projects, and you can start with fictional ones.Btw, if there is any brazilian here, I would highly recommend watching the Acedemia Tipográfica courses as they are very high quality and are free now.
>>459157thanks. I saved all your recommendations and I will check them all out. Also if you have a style of a specific piece that you really like, please post it
unfortunately i went ta a liberal arts college
What is the next big aesthetic wave after Flat Design going to be? How much longer will Flat Design last?
>>458353I don't mind it. The most iconic logos are unreadable. Readability has been the worst thing to happen to design. Every logo is now the name of the company written in helvetica. Anything unreadable is better.
>>456970Maybe some kind of a pragmatic style that integrates nature with flat design. It's what corporations would have chosen to please everyone.
Which do you think the website is in?
What aesthetic do you think this website is?
