Graphic artists are officially BANKRUPT AND FINISHED. With this a single dude with some SVGs can create an entire animated film. How does it feel to never have to redraw an SVG ever again? Haters will say we need to ban this technology!

Graphic artists are more necessary than ever, but the tools and resources make it easier than ever.
The demand for the skill isn't disappearing, but the supply of decently skilled graphics people is bigger than ever.
It's turning more into a general labor position, except instead of being good with your hands and willing to exert yourself physically, you need to be good with computers and willing to exert yourself creatively.
It's this way more than ever, but it's been going this way for a very long time.
Most people who study and get a job in graphic design move onto other fields by the time they're 25. They'll retain and use their design skills, but the design skills are one discipline of many.

This is true and also depressing as fuck, I know so many graphic designers who can't draw or paint for shit, its insane that we created this world in which honest beauty and aesthetics are not only dead but actively discouraged in favor of some esoteric numbers-based wankery
If you're one the few people that actually grasp traditional mediums like drawing painting fairly well while also being proficient with digital programs I think you'll have no problem finding work but I'm afraid the damage to one's soul might be too much to bear for the average person

You can just make it so a few different adobe applications can't connect to the internet by setting it up in your firewall settings and be fine with the photoshop you have. Just check whatever is running in task manager.

>>458382
does that help?
I mean so does white, yellow, green, magenta,...

my guess is that someone randomly came up with it and it became part of a certain design culture/aesthetic/style. (like 80s neon style)
maybe finding the original source will lead to more insights? I could see it even having served a technical purpose originally
>>
>>458380
red is the most powerful color so it is hard to use with other color but a small amount added to black has a good relationship

>served a technical purpose originally

Red is traditionally used to amplify a warning or boundary- a dial tachometer uses a literal red line to mark the RPM limit an engine cannot go over without imminent risk of damage, and that idea has become a common term for pushing something to its limits even where no such device is in use. The other common use as a danger zone boundary marker on things like maps and walkway/road markings is also used this way where no actual line is visible.

In the examples shown the red line serves these purposes on the camera lens by marking the limits of where you can safely put your fingers without touching the lens itself. On the digital watch it gives a quick visual reference of where the important data is contained- not very consequential on a single watch but if you had an entire panel of displays nested together it can help the eye to organize them and exclude extraneous space when scanning them.

It absolutely serves a technical purpose in some applications and that's why it's used to convey a "high tech" or "performance" aesthetic on products where that's a selling point, even where there's no need and/or its location can't possibly serve any practical purpose. Note that all of those devices are technically advanced items that are seen as "better" if you gussy them up with tech-y trim.

>>458382
Yes and no- in other conditions besides adequate full spectrum lighting, red and black can appear virtually identical.
This was used to great practical effect in photography and related graphic production in the pre-digital days, and is still used in some areas-
>Rubylith® is a red masking film, which is suited for use with orthochromatic films. Rubylith®is "safe" for use with camera speed darkroom films as well as indirect gelatin stencil films and diazo, diazo acrylic, or SBQ sensitized stencil films or emulsions. Rubylith® is primarily used in the camera and plate making operations for offset lithography, flexography, gravure, and screen processes where orthochromatic films and plates are used.

As shown in picrel, certain types of photosensitive emulsions/films "see" saturated reds as black in full spectrum lighting, which is why a red film like Rubylith is as good as opaque for making masks to work with those emulsions.

Depends on who's talking

Are they any resources or guides explaining how best to caption videos in terms of pacing the cuts in the captions to match the cadence of the dialogue versus pacing the captions based on the strict visual appeal of each individual captioned phrase/segment in and of themselves, or grouping captions based on linguistic clauses?
>>
>>457893
prolly

but end of day it really very simple: dont confuse the audience just cuz you have some hair brained idea about captions.
>>
>>457893
For basic technical standards you can look at closed captioning resources, check out "Major Considerations for Filmmakers" for the numbers-

https://simpledcp.com/introduction-to-timed-text-in-dcps/

That may be specific to some program but the basic minimum timing and legibility stuff is the same for any method.
Anything you might do beyond that to add drama or humor or suspense or whatever to the delivery of subtitles is directing.

European TV and media has good standards, especially the Finnish telly.

There's a lot of small details, but tl;dr:
>give each word minimum of 0.3 seconds on screen.
>don't be afraid of letting the text "over stay" on the screen after the character's stopped talking, especially when translating from another language.
>if multiple characters talk right after another, consider showing both at the same time. Line break in-between.
>Pure white font + black outline = easiest to read.
>Font size should be at least 10% of the fame height, centered horizontally, and slightly elevated from the bottom edge. Some even take it as high as 2 to 3/5ths from the bottom.

Honestly proper therapy is the solution to being imprisoned and sabotaged by your own mind.
Know you don't necessarily have to forgive anyone or change your beliefs, but can still let go of how those experiences hurt you, and free yourself from being limited by them. When you do that the path forward will be obvious and you will feel motivated and capable to advance.
Do your research on this to avoid shitty therapists. Look into the experiential neuroscience based shit.

They're all good but you need to adjust the sun's shape (the 'direct rays'). The sharp corners that protrude just slightly are ugly.

The last one's 'indirect rays' are maybe too similar to the old Japanese flag, but it's still good. Reminds more of a black hole than a sun however.

If you make the sun fit completely inside of the third one, it might be a nice design as well, especially with the less busy corners of the first one (without the eight extra 'indirect rays').

The fourth one might look better if you reduce the 'direct rays' by half, removing them from inside of the 'black rays'; it's too "busy" this way.

Try a version of the second one without any 'direct rays' as well (basically the last one with a cross).
