How does "Pantone +CMYK" work?

Is it actually Pantones? the swatches appear as CMYK,

if i send a file using a swatch of "Pantone P 179-1" are they going to spot print that color? or what?

goddamn pantone never making any sense.
>>
>>463640
Pantone is a company that literally just sells swatches - they have well defined colors and you can buy these swatches anywhere in the world. If order something in a specific pantone color from china, the manufacturer can buy a pantone swatch book, find the color, match it perfectly and send it to you. Is it waaaaaaaaaaay overpriced? Yes.
It's basically a proprietary, for profit standard that everybody seems to have adopted.
It's not smart, but designers seldom are
>>
>>463685
Yes..
I know all that about pantone.

I asked about the "Pantone+ CMYK" book.
I need to know specifics about /this/ specific aspect of their nonsense.
From someone who knows about /this/

Not the broad overview.
>>
>>463699
well pantone provides color mixing instructions too
>>
>>463640
Pantone CMYK is the Pantone guide for a close, and sometimes 'close-ish' match between the Pantone spot color (which is made of mixed ink according to the Pantone formula given on the swatch guide) and the CMYK four-color process (which is made solely from the blending of different levels of cyan, magenta, yellow and key [black].
Because of its limitations, CMYK cannot accurately match all Pantone spot colors. When Pantone still had Hexachrome, it's expanded 6-color set could quite accurately match something like 90+% of Pantone colors, but that was abandoned some years ago, sadly.
If you are designing for screen reproduction, however, you can safely use the normal Pantone colors. For print, if the color MUST match, you might need to suggest CMYK + spot color printing (requiring either a 5+ color press, or more than one run through a 4-color press).

Someone shared a tutorial (for C4D) here >>463317
basically you do an abstract thingie in a 3D program and the rest you do in photoshop/gimp/etc

And also look at references, this style is kinda old so there are tons of examples out there. Yandex is pretty good to find similar images.

if you ever figure it out tell us. i've been trying to figure it out for years. there are tuts on deviantart for C4D and Maya. haven't really seen much for blender and blender doesn't have some of the tools/same vertex snapping algorithms that made this possible.
the style is called "metalheart" or "trendwhore" btw. also common with this style is Bryce (3d software) metaball

Ture but you can do your best to translate those old tuts in to something that blender work with

I really really really really hate synthwave like you wouldn't believe. People take this one singular aspect of 80s retrofuturism and make it the only thing that pops up in google image's search results when you look up 80s aesthetics. Holy fuck shit do I fucking hate idc if you guys call me a sperg I have this deep visceral hatred for that aesthetic. Maybe it's the oversaturation, or the fact that it's performatively retro. What happened to the other stuff associated with 80s retrofuturism like in pic related? Is it not "80s" enough for people or what

They are called "rivers" and of course people have developed strategies for preventing them by adjusting type parameters or the copy itself to make them go away.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_(typography)

Strategies for Adjusting Typography to Minimize Rivers

To minimize rivers, designers can try:

-Adjusting the font size or style: Changing the font can help to reduce the occurrence of rivers.

- Modifying the text alignment or justification: Switching from justified to left-aligned text, for example, can help to eliminate rivers.
-Tweaking the hyphenation settings: Adjusting the hyphenation settings can help to reduce the number of spaces between words and minimize river formation.
-Using a different line spacing or leading: Increasing the line spacing can help to reduce the visibility of rivers.

As someone who uses Linux and just can't get Affinity and PS CS6 to work over wine... Just couldn't get into GIMP
I've been using Photopea for image editing, Krita is ASS at text. And I haven't found a good alternative to AI yet, I used to use CorelDRAW on some places I've worked at but it doesn't work on Linux either. Been sticking to Inkscape but it isn't really as powerful as AI or even Corel

it does kinda depend, a lot of people’s workflow from logo design is sketching freehand on paper and inking vector in Illustrator so it’s scalable if you’re talking about drawing in the sense of wordmarks and t shirts and stuff

making safe knockoffs of shit that exists is a good way to learn

don't say you weren't making derivative geometric/foliage/splatter brush vomit wallpapers and forum signatures gfx just like all the others in 2005

the use of various photoshop and/or illustrator tools in this one is mostly competent and could apply to something functional. at least it's not some completely directionless retard xD ps filter vomit

fine. I accept value in adding your perspective to the discussion, but I deny it questioning my given criticism.

the final result has exactly the problems I mentioned, mainly that of dishonesty and (grotesque?) derivation. and while it is true that in the confines of your private workspace it is more than okay to produce the trash that makes 80% of what we create, framing and putting it in a public pedestal to be viewed is something else entirely.
>bigger boi setting asks for bigger boi feedbackz

in the context of public artworks it *is* trash that doesn't add anything but regurgitates cultural production into an even more acidic turd.
>human centipede art. of which there exists more than enough already
and if OP is smart they will realize how much more value there is in my seemingly antagonistic reality check over reinforcing their rigid, asset-vomit, prompt-completion process with sugary words.
>but feel free to point out what you think is the most important lesson for OP to learn at this point(?)

It's funny how Sam Hyde claims credit for such a prevalent style that was even in popular media a decade before he even graduated college

Today is the first day of immersion in the schizophrenic world of my fantasies and the world of everything.

Hey Chat. Mucho love to you all.

I have been creating theme based AI Summons. Concept is when someone comments a theme i will create an AI summon relevant to the theme.

So far not going much feedback nor traction. So just creating themes as I go along.

Initially thought this is a cool idea. Not so sure anymore.

Can you have a look at my profile and give me genuine feedback? follow it if you like what im doing.

Much appreciated

Here's a theme. Quitting. You have no feedback or traction because its soulless stupid AI slop. It was never a cool idea. Your weak little autist brain just couldn't fathom committing to an artistic endeavor for longer than the 5 seconds it took to gen your generic monster slop, so now you look to 4chan for validation, or worse, for an audience. Do us all a giant favor, go find a real hobby and leave us the fuck alone. Not your personal army.

Happy vday btw!

Has anyone actually been using this. If you put a vector in a group the vector points become skewed, so you can't have something like a perfect square or circle. It's always something like 121 x 120 pixels. What a piece of shit software, just use Inkscape it's also free/

ok motherfuckers, yes im being lazy.

tomorrow ill set up some test files, but anyone wanna run down on linked text files and illustrator?

need to link a multipage text: need to design the text in illustrator: need to ensure the changes dont revert to OG linked text file. i guess i could just break the link once the data is in (i dont need it to update, just to get it in).

thoughts, you dirty cunts?

inb4 indesign fucks your mother

>>463679
literally copy paste, why link it if youre gonna edit?
>>
>>463686
uh, mostly cuz its longish.
but yes, final edits and flourishes wil happen in the layout program. done it before, just could remember the deal with texts. like its not two ways, if i edit the text in illustrator i essentially have two different files. but if i edit the source, i can relink. its been a while.
