Is it retarded to use fountain pens?
I have recently gotten into fountain pens. Cheap chinese ones but it's pretty nice. I wanted to talk about fountain pens more but honestly all I can say is they're pretty nice and I prefer piston pens.
I'm looking at buying a fountain pen for the first time. Any suggestions?
>>454722You are overdoin it.Did you do it this way for fun and pics, or, are you so incompetent with FPs?

>>461902I use black pens and have a lot of blacked clothing
and if so, why ?
I genuinely cannot fucking stand using GIMP despite learning with it, it's just such a piece of shit.
Try Krita, it's also free like GIMP and IMO more of a full-blown replacement for PS
>>460994Not even.PS has had full integrated CMYK support since like 1991 (34 years)Gimp still doesn't lmaooo
>>460762Gimp 3.0 is stunningUsers now have access to non-destructive layers, more extensive support for RGB color spaces, and dozens of improvements.But we are just getting started. Gimp 3.1.4 development version was recently released. https://www.gimp.org/news/2025/09/01/gimp-3-1-4-released/#text-tool(Note that a development release is not ready for production use. It might crash. If it didn’t have problems it would be 3.2 already)Before the end of the year, GIMP 3.2 will be officially released. It will include vector lawyers, significantly better text support, and many interface improvements.Gimp is about to punch Adobe in the face
Before 2026, Gimp 3.2 will be released.We in the community are working hard to make it better. You will be shocked by what Gimp is now capable of doing. Stay tuned.
what's the name of this design? how does one achieve the composition and the colors in illustrator? is it even in illustrator since it's made in early 1900s.
>>459495You could have a foreground shape on top to retain the hardness.
>>459529I count at least 15 defects in that section alone. The issue is consistency, you must be consistent in your technique or every element looks like garbage.For example you can use a hard outline against gradient blocks to preserve your hard corners, that's valid, but if you do that you have to do it everywhere and not mesh other gradients.If you mesh gradients and lose your hard internal edges, you have to loose them more or less everywhere, the shadow under the chin is meshed but the one above the lip is not, so both look like trash.If your image has one point shadow (this one does), you can't then back-shaddow to achieve a gradient. So in this image the nostril shadow is consistent with the one point shadowing of the chin and the image overall; but the backs hadow from behind the nose seems to come from nowhere and be cast in no drection. Shadows are always cast, they are not the "color" of the skin area.And it may seem like I'm being picky; but that's what this style and design is, that's what separates an artists work from AIslop, it's the consistency of technique. There is no right or wrong way to vector, but there are styles, and AI generates civually so just uses a total slop of styles, it just uses the best visual match, it doesn't know how to interpret images the "wrong" way so as to preserve the overall style of a work.I make this point often, to clients, in defence of hand drawn work of many styles. Mixed technique is a dead give away of AI rendering and it looks both sloppy and generates progressively weaker assets. When you accept these errors, you accept a cascade of errors, and AI just eats it's own stylistic errors over and over until you get the classic degenerate art form we all associate with globohomo.I'm hardly a master of vector art, but that's the underlying reason it should be respected and why it is used in virtually all commercial contexts
any video tutorials?

How do I explain to a church group why they need to change their entire branding? This is not a joke.
I guess just tell them BBC is a lewd term and they they can't market a church group with itYou don't have to explain what it means
>>461090forge a cease and desist from the british broadcasting company
>>461090This is fucking hilarious. If you're serious and not joking this is what I would do.1. Open up Bing on your phone2. Search "bbc worship"3. Show them the results
>>461090the design looks like advertising a house music festival from the 2010s
How can I change a certain color but only in a certain area?I want to change the black to white.I tried Color Exchange in Gimp but the results sucked.
>>459646Yes yes little goy, keep it up.
>>460706>see complex tool you could make use of>owner only rents it, sorry>want it anyway> sign contract, agree to terms, pay fee>no gun to your head>claim to be a victim of "greed"> claim fee was really full purchase price>claim rental contract was theft>act morally superior because "I bought it fair and square"Lucky for you that you don't have a creative bone in your body and will never have any wealth or property for other self righteous predators such as yourself to steal.
>>459505>>459507>>460133what the actual fuck are you making?
>>460800holy shit you should just kill yourself
>>460149Pirate only so that fat jew CEO's can see the download numbers and lost profits.Proceed to delete closed source spyware you just pirated and use GIMP.
How can I fulfill my FLIR fetish? Asking here instead of /r/ because they couldnt answer this. I have a fetish for FLIR images plus women or stuff I find hot, but I like the additional layer. How can I make pics like this? AI can do it but not commercial AI accepts material that\s explicit or even lightly suggestive, defeating the point. Do I do this in photoshop? Do I use AI?
>>460863>https://vk.com/topic-178186634_39330245?offset=2080https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0w8sWtH2XpElook for heat gradients or thermal tutorials for photoshop
>>460863>I have a fetish for FLIR images plus women or stuff I find hotThis is so specific that i'm willing to believe this is not a joke.What is this, how did you acquire such a fetish?I'm truly confused.
Admittedly, I am not a graphic designer, but I do have an eye for what is aesthetically pleasing, and I find a lot of Paul Rand's work to be really intriguing. How would I go about designing a logo in his style, though? There's something very meticulous and perfect in these designs that I don't think can be replicated by any lay graphic designer. Maybe I am overthinking, but does anyone have any tips?
>>461847definitely follows the trajectory of modernism, famously inspired by swiss design as well as (intellectually) by John Dewey, Alfred North Whitehead, Roger Fry.>The problem of the artist is to defamiliarize the ordinary.I think he probably truly loved design and indulging in it. no doomscrolling, no pinterest inspiration that everybody else shares, no photoshop. instead a smart guy that enjoyed spending his life on thinking about art and aesthetics and design and the human nature on a *deep level*. he probably read a lot of philosophy as well as literature. there are traces of a human with relatively wide spanning wisdom in his body of work, which lends them different qualities in comparison to today, where we have super clean cloudcapitalism-giga-marketing-machine designs all around us as well as "I am a graphic designer because I watched 5 tutorials on youtube that everybody else watched as well". (I am not criticizing. has other qualities to it. is just a different landscape...)proficiency with (and reliance on) traditional tools instead of the computer obviously influences the designs an incredible whole lot as well.I kinda think the somewhat ephemeral aura to be well described as honesty of a real human being, I think. comparably sincere and optimistic to postmodern design and less cleanly algorithmatized than many convetional designs today? he wrote a few books. could be interesting if you *really* want to learn more about his approach?
new 4chan favicon i madegookmoot you WILL add this
hiro when are you adding this
How to come up with a good and original name for a design studio?
>>460344Here:enis design
>>460497Why
>>460497Not as much as using it as a prefix, especially if you add a number and cutesy spelling
>>461785Because it goes without saying and good designers strip away useless bullshit like that. It's like restaurants adding pretentious tag lines-THE RIB FACTORY"...a place for ribs."
>>460344use basque language
