sorry, but it's true
>>463062Agreed.It's a more important skillset than ever and it's never been a more transferable skill from one job to another.But, the way schools teach it, as though being able to create a mediocre logo in 80 hours and having intermediate skills in InDesign/Illustrator is going to lead to a decent full time job, let alone a career has been kind of dead for a while. Definitely dead now.On reddit, you'll see whiny students/amateurs digging their heals in, arguing they shouldn't be expected to know HTML, or touch video editing, etc. Meanwhile every zoomer's learning this stuff so they can do YouTube or be a "creator". It was entitled and foolish fifteen years ago when designers would refuse to branch out of print design. Even at the time (I was a student then) peers and I would agree, the people trying to do only print are going to get rugged. Today, it's beyond absurd for someone to think they won't need to be versatile and learn every medium they can, and adjust to new tools regularly.Even prior to AI, GD seemed to me like a field you start out in, but graduate to other things by your late 20's. Whether it's video, web dev, etc. The GD skills carry over and give you a leg up in these, especially if you're going to create your own business one day. But GD in itself is like the digital version of a construction laborer.Now on the topic of AI: It's scaring a lot of people, but designers skilled in the adobe suite are in the perfect situation to take advantage of it if they get over their fears and dive into it. AI does amazing shit, while getting details wrong. They're the ones capable of editing those details. It also knocks out a huge amount of grunt work and makes "creative block" a thing of the past. Smart designers should be viewing AI as a gift from god. They've just been handed their own studio, basically. Image gen, is basically like having your own team of lower level designers working for you. Not to mention the learning abilities with it.
>>463070Questionable schools blowing smoke up clueless people's asses is a separate issue that existed even when commercial art as a standalone career was a fairly easy and profitable path to take with a seemingly endless supply of work to go around.Just like countless other trade school models that kind of thing exploded after WW2 with the GI Bill and continued with similar civilian educational loan programs long past a time when more workers were needed, and since the real goal of many operators was getting at that money and not placing people in jobs, much of the curriculum didn't keep up with the needs and trends in the industries that those schools ostensibly served.School has its place but just getting a certificate and expecting commercial design work to be there for the taking is the laziest, least creative and least adaptive approach to entering a field that is ALL about creativity and adaptation and hustling.Even to work as a teacher at art school, having completed art school doesn't necessarily mean crap.>“Art school for everyone everywhere” read one FAS ad, which ran in the back of magazines such as TV Guide and Life. For $200, or GI benefits, the student received large binders containing 24 lessons. >Charles Reid, who joined FAS in 1963 as its youngest instructor, noted that with the early lessons, students received a stock letter response according to their skill level...Uniquely, Reid started with FAS as a 15-year-old student, when his father bought him the course. He only completed eight of the original lessons, then abandoned the course, citing its difficulty.https://connecticuthistory.org/instruction-by-mail-the-famous-artists-school/

>>463054then why are there graphic designers making a lot of money doing, you know, graphic design?
>>463077....badly, it seems
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.
>>459309Superman with the black hairdye
>>459357>>459369Looks great, that's exactly what hair does. Gotta ask, would you say white people are bage ("beige") like bagels?>>459402>>459451Germany is in NATO/Europe nowadays

>>459301Cant you see the colours and composition looking at it?
>>463058no
I'd like to use it for booklets. Does it render text correctly? What are its main issues in this application?
>>462995It's """"""""free""""""""" because they make more money with your data than selling it to you. You can look that shit up, it's insane how many connections the application has running at all times.
>>463003show it
>>462615There's no reason to use memescape and Gimp now that affinity is free.Either use ps or affinity.
>>462616I remember when indesign could only do one page at a time and you had to buy an external plug-in to render tables, and nobody had written one yet.It got popular because of cultists. Nothing more.
>>462615What exactly do you want to create?A poster or something with multiple pages?What should the final product be? Should it remain digital or be exported for print as PDF X-3?Inkscape is a vector program, so it should output all fonts as vectors for your final format.Also this >>463009
I want to make cool geometry shapes, where do I start
>>462502>Buy now $33Come on now
>>462503He dropped the price from 99You don't have to buy it, it's exactly same program as community qcad, you can use that.Onstott just adapted it for ease of use, aimed specifically at creativity and geometry, plus made a very good video teaching series on how to use it.
>>462503BTW there are some outrageously priced "Sacred Geometry" apps out there preying on the trend. Onstotts is actually the best one and the cheapest.

Then you should know that at the current year of 2023 graphic design is pretty much dead. I was a professional gd for almost 10 years working in both studios and on my own and I can't really find a job anymore. It's not even because of AI to be honest, its because of how the industry works and how bad the corporate environment has become. There's still web design, 3D and VFX/motion design(primarily 3D too) and if you want something similar or easy to transition then chose one of those but I'm not sure for how long they will be relevant themselves because of the AI which is basically a final nail in the coffin of gd. Of course there are and will be exceptions and maybe you will get lucky to find some obscure local business that needs you, but if you are young and looking for a career in the future you should stop consider becoming a graphic designer. This profession is dead.
>>462900>Go be an actual artistthey literally cannot even if they tried"graphic designers" are legit the worst people in the entire fuckin world for this exact reason, not only are they too fuckin retarded for STEM they also don't have the artistic sensitivities to create art with soul/life/energy whatever you want to call itit's the absolute bottom of the barrel cognitive stasis and I wholeheartedly applaud the shittening that all of them now have to experience, maybe the trades sector will see plenty of new plumbers and landscapers hopefully rofl
>>463043I know some that are talented artists and see it as a way to “be creative” but also “make money”. Its not a very good way to do either. Pick a lane is my point.
>>456001What a retarded post. Most of the jobs in any creative industry are various commercial-related gigs and salary jobs where you are just a cog in the machine. Or rather were before AI, now they just click and get ad/copy/leaflet/logo/animation/whatever.
>>460840They do now.
>>458752That sounds amazing, what is this magical job and how to get it?
Super disheartening to see this. Any designer could have done an illustration, any number of local artists could have created a piece for this event. It's a seminal event that marks the reopening of Detroit’s Michigan central. Truly monumental moment for Detroit, highlighted by the crazy opening concert directed by Eminem and it wasn't worth getting a person to do the poster? Very sad.This is one of those moments in the history of ai that I will look back on with genuine disgust.A soulful event with a soulless AI facade.
>>455677It's way worse. They hired a "designer" Ave he convinced them that this is not ai, it maybe it's didn't even cross their mind to ask if this is ai.
>>462335God I love AI. I ironically. If it can generate dank memes like this, then that's all it needs to do for me to be convinced!
>>462572*unironicallyI don't know why autocorrect thought "I ironically" was more correct
the only thing any of these people ever wanted was a zero cost means to and end.
>>462593ya who doesn't eh?
does gd stand for my favourite 2d platformer/rythym game GEOMETRY DASH??? [insert "dash" (level in geometry dash) theme here]
yes twin let's all grind the demonlist and become top players
i beat bloodbath lol
>>460752Its so fucking werid seeing GD on 4chan LOL
>>460752but is it good /gd/esign?
>>462988hell yeah!
Why don't we just convert this board into a Geometry Dash board? Its already dead and this would be a cooler place if so.>QQOTThoughts on BOOBAWAMBA, and do you think it should be top 1?

who the hell designed the 4chan banners, they are so simple yet so funshare some of your favorites
Literally the one I had above this very thread lmao
>>462559why were so many banners deleted?
>>462620moot had said he wanted to clean them up, but it's been like 13 years since he said it, so I don't remember much. I think he said something about thinking some of them look like "4chan next to anime girl with nothing else happening" and that he wanted to clean those ones up.
>>462621>I think he said something about thinking some of them look like "4chan next to anime girl with nothing else happening" and that he wanted to clean those ones up.what a shame, this is what made those banners so good.
>>459442>>459509It's very similar to this old flashhttps://4chan.org/flash?file=drama.swfbut IDK the origins
how do i create such designs? i love them, the ones in mde and extreme peace, they are so fucking cool
>>460761Im 40 not really a fan and know little about design but they look cool and have a unique style to them.
>>460961Emigre #58
bump. maybe someone knows how to make them
where can i get after effects? PTB??
>>460958>Emigre is actually good and the og shit, not basic in anyway. Sam just copied egregiously from it, but you can cope awayemigre been bit so many times already that it feels normal when people are overt about biting it.the transitional video stuff on world peace looked really good i thought, but that was less emigre and more just dumping AE effects on clips and dumping the dr bronners random text shit everywhere. I don't think sam did any of that shit though
How's GIMP 3.0?
i downloaded in through microsoft storedid i dun goof
>>462437same anon here, after 8 days, Gimp is awesome, 3.0, okay, could be a bit better sometimes in the interface but I don't use shortcuts yet, that could help. Also it crashes every once in a while so save your work often.
>>462506same anon 14 days later, shit still good, i can restore old images now it's fun but takes time unless you've done a lot of itGimp and Inkscape as a combo is an great swiss army knife
>>460041> cmykDon’t tell him you can convert to/from rgb to cmyk and “magical” pantone colors
>>460675I'm sure this person has figured things out but for any other newbs that might come across this. I'm not sure what they were doing wrong but I'm wondering what version they were using. You haven't had to add an alpha channel for a while now. It happens automatically when you open an image. You can check the channels tab. Unless you've disabled this setting in Image Import & Export. So for them it should have been open image, select by color maybe, clear, deselect, export to png or whatever.
Explain yourselves, /gd/.
>>457619They could've at least used TNR...

Sans serif fonts are oppressive and make you feel like a slave. Simple
>>457625>A bunch of them waded into social and political controversy over the last decade or two in ways that polarized potential customer pools and hurt their brands, and now they are backing away from overt displays of those ki ds of policies and just want to get back to a neutral PR stance and reputation.it's too late. there must be justice.https://www.bitchute.com/video/JwEhxfBAhxt5
