Gimpbros is it out time?
Ligma sisters, I don't feel so good…
>>462337Lol should have sold to Adobe. I bet the suits regret it now.
Idiot traders think AI is going to replace dedicated graphic design apps.
>>462336The latest gimp was actually pretty good, I have to use it from time to time.
It's Corel's time to shine, baby!
Your thoughts on this
These are meant to be glass?
>>462351so we're back to an 'edgier' windows vista?
>>462351I like them, they are very Good ! They would be a very good change for the Windows!
>>462351It reminds me of these gel 3D sticker things that stained my desk.Also reminds me of old Apple mac candy-phase.
>>462414People are REALLY trying to bring back translucent/see through shit again and it's kinda working

All of these just prove that the collective mass of "designers" is just worse than a single AI doing the job.All of this crap is just a gazillion filters added to dozens of duplicate layers with absolutely no meaning behind them. It's just as bad as is modern "design".This is the Untermensch of design. It is not design. It's aesthetics at best.
Does anyone have links to resources to create stuff like this in photoshop?

I feel like I’ve wasted 15 years of my life, and my career has led me nowhere. At 35, I should be at my peak in terms of earnings and health, yet I’m a nobody. I keep ending up in shitty companies where I’m expected to do everything while getting paid less than gate keeper. For the past 10 years, I’ve designed websites, logos, mobile apps, print materials, books, t-shirt prints, labels, packaging, product photography, social media content, 3D designs, modeling, animation, and simulations. If I had focused on one thing from the start, I’d be an expert in a specific field by now and making decent money. Unfortunately, the harsh truth is this: if you are able to do anything that means you are good at nothing. When there are job listings for simple graphic work, they don’t want someone with 5+ years of experience. If they do want someone with 5 years of experience, they expect an expert in one particular niche. Today, no one even wants to spit in my direction. No one is looking for a 35-year-old guy who has done everything (but nothing specific) because they have 100 young, dynamic grads fresh out of college to choose from. The competition in the big city is just too strong. For the past 5 years, I’ve been working from home part-time, and somehow manage to pay the rent. The MS diagnosis broke me. Depression, no friends, far from family, always making excuses. If it weren’t for my wife earning well and help from my in-laws, I’d have nothing. It feels like everyone around me is doing fine, earning well, and building great careers - except me. I’m feeling down, I’m sick of this fucking city and its weather. I just needed to get this off my chest.
>MS diagnosisI'm sorry to hear that, brother.
>>459830>>459833>Sudden businessJust make something dude
>>459830Ever thought of giving private classes or getting some teacher's degree so you can get yourself a comfy teacher's job? I'm mainly an illustrator but i've dabbled in graphic design and right now i'm teaching high schoolers about graphic design and some of them are light years ahead of me in terms of design. It isn't a good paid job but the turnside is that there aren't many work hours, so you can do a side hustle while having some steady income without wanting to kill yourself from doing the 9 to 5
>>462204Is not the spam is the image layer of meaning

How is it that adobe still basically has no real competition sure there's alternatives to photoshop, illustrator, premiere pro but from what I've seen none of them really measure up to adobe so what is it that the alternatives aren't doing that would at least put them closer to even playing fields?
Clutterware. Adobe Illustrator seemed over-complicated and had a cancelation fee as well

>>461799Gimp just released Gimp 3.0.6- This feature introduces a new toggle in the Brushes and Fonts dialogs to allow brush and font previews to optionally follow the color theme, an alpha channel for certain transforms and on filter merge, and improves Photoshop brush support.- Gimp now shows an undo step for Lock Content, resizes images to layers irrespective of selections, fixes Alpha to Selection on single layers with no transparency, and fills the mask with complete opacity instead of a completely transparent layer when creating a layer mask from the layer’s alpha and the layer has no alpha.- The Text tool has been updated- The Foreground Selection tool no longer creates a selection when no strokes are made. - GIMP 3.0.6 improves importing of JPEG 2000, TIFF, DDS, SVG, PSP, ICNS, DICOM, WBMP, Farbfeld, XWD, and ILBM image formats, as well as exporting of the FITS image format.- This release improves the sensitivity of filter actions to make sure they are set insensitive when relevant, especially for filters that can’t be run non-destructivelyComment too long.

>>461799When I took a year of graphic design classes Inkscape was mentioned.I think adobe being considered "the industry standard" is why it has no competition.
hi guys. anybody, who knows - what is a font on a CD on photo?
found that primary text writed on Bennet Text, but this font doesn't support cyrillic symbols, which presentated on photo

Should I learn Photoshop or Illustrator first?I know both are practically essential, but which is better to learn first?
>>459488Those are different applications with different approaches and use cases. It really depends on your goals.Photoshop works best with pixels and has its strength in image editing.Illustrator is a vector-based program and is used to create scalable graphics.If you are diving into graphic design in general and have no specific task in mind yet, I'd suggest to start with Photoshop first, because it also has some vector features and is more versatile overall.
>>459488Photoshop, you can do vectors in both but only rasters in photoshop
>>459488>>459490>>459498>>460178>>460681>>462352HELLO EVERYONE, new guy here, why not Inkscape and GIMP?Sincerely,Pinky
>>462356hello Pinky,the project file format interoperability e.g. inkscape does not support importing and auto updating gimp project format file (you can import psd sketches from photoshop into illustrator). affinity is even better at this because it's equivalent of .psd and .ai is the same format.inkscape is also crashes very frequently on basic shit after 20 or whatever years of development e.g. it freaks out when you group or try to ask mask to existing object groups and select some of the child elements in the group. or crashes when you export a jpeg specifically.inkscape relies on svg format which unlike .ai lacks- typographic layout concepts like.. paragraphs- various art-brush things that illustrator hasinkscape svg is not a standard in printing industry. does it even support cmyk? i forgot, but who cares because Adobe proprietary shit loaded EPS/AI/PDF is the defacto standardabout GIMP.. i can use photoshop, affinity, krita, corel paint, paint shop pro from like 2000 but the Gimp GUI is just frustrating to deal withComment too long.

>>462361Gimp's UI/UX is getting better and better. And the GIMP team announced they will focus on it.
Babe, wake up. The newest downgrade just dropped.
>>462362you know there is a reason why regular car dashboards and formular one race car cockpits have different interfaces?no need to claim superiority of one if they simply serve different user bases with different expertise and demands...
>>462367yeah that instant menu and search field able to show program titles ("firefox") / generic titles ("(web browser)") / 1 sentence descriptions and sorting applications by their usage frequency is just like an f1 racecar it's too extremeit's obvious that the gui needs to look like a bowl of candies of corporate branding and sort of like videogame with acrylic glass jellyfish animations that drop dozens of frames slowly rendered in a google chrome instance or the special needs office worker won't be able to populate the sprint velocity excel97.exe spreadsheet and the GUI designers will die
>>462368where i'm getting is that there is a lot of fluff these days that gets in the way of how straight to the point and technically efficient the computer gui could bewindows gui hasn't substantially improved since 2009 but they have time for this bs

You guys need to understand something, because when you ask "How do we bring this style back", for any aesthetic you want, you're not getting that these aesthetics didn't exist in a vacuum. They were there to advertise a product, or culture around the product.You won't bring any aesthetic back, you won't create any new kind of aesthetic, if there is no culture behind it. Otherwise, its just wall paper. You're in /gd/ GD is making wallpaper for a product or culture.You have to ask yourself, how is a culture formed, how a culture is made, and how does a culture persists. Because culture is what happens when you're not around. its self reinforcing by the people participating.None of you will bring any kind of aesthetic back without a culture.
>>462249I dont believe i said he was wrong about the tex avery stuff only that the things i was analyzing shot off it and took its own form.I dont know how im putting on a show of superiority though>nah im rightOkay maybe, but before that. Any authority i think i have is because i was researching on what cultures are and how buisnesses make a small culture to sell their products. Yeah, im not a college fucking professor, but engage with the toughts provided man.I think any air of authority you saw i was giving was a projection from your own insecurity. In all do respect. 90% pf whats said is how you say it, and the internet has stripped away tone. Youre reading what i said with the voice in your head, not the voice i use.
>>462251Nvm, forget it I lost my temper.I think what i said has merit, im going to keep my understanding and work in it, but i could have delevered it better.
I think there has to be a sense of novelty. It can't be a previously trodden path or else it feels like a spent energy, it feels like forcing something that has long since ran its course. Like a meme or music genre, it's not completely dead but its confined to a small clique of aficionados. It cannot captivate large portions of the population anymore so most people move on to something feels fresh and invigorating.Moreover it just feels forced. People naturally aren't inclined to make art like they did 20 years ago (which was largely impacted by the technological means that are no longer there). It's easier and more intuitive to just do what you're used to (generic flatshit) or do something new. People don't naturally do things that happen to faithfully adhere to bygone trends. Just just do whatever.And like a meme, it has to naturally emerge from the zeitgeist. It has to seem like the most befitting thing for the moment. The laser grids of the 80s just aren't gonna cut it for most people.Stuff like synthwave and vaporwave have a niche appeal that likely could never go mainstream. And even then, it is hardly a faithful implementation of retro aesthetics. They are more of a crude indulgence of stereotypes of the 80s & 90s for the purpose of escapism. It's not forward looking like the retro aesthetics that inspire it. These are dead genres for people who are dead inside.
>>462363Looking at OP and this, there just seems to be a sense of individualism on the internet that keeps people from blossoming a movement.People can hone in their own graphic design and style, but to get a great majority of others to follow is a really hard deal. And to have those other people following not seem like a cheap knockoff is harder. Think of AVGN clones.You're either doing something new, or knocking someone off, when you actually get enough skill to not look like an amatuer/everyone else.
>>462363>Just just do whatever*They just do whatever>>462373It might be the case that artistic trends will come to be less centralized over time resulting in a more diverse and compartmentalized landscape. AI is a big game changer too. The ease with which you can generate art might break the death grip Corporate Memphis currently has (which is mainly used due to how braindead & easy it is to create). Targeted advertising may reflect this, for better or worse. Sites that collect data about you may figure out what aesthetics appeal to you and generate ads accordingly. Web design might also similarly opt for a variety of AI generated layouts. I'm sure people are realizing how repugnant Corporate Memphis is to a lot of people. The world is bigger than the oversocialized bugmen and PMC drones that actually enjoy that garbage. I almost think its intentionally bad as a means of driving away interesting people thus lowing competition for themselves.
What were they thinking?
>>459032>CANDICKSurely can
>>459032I'm still waiting for the bottom of the logo to finish loading.
>>459032>Yeah let's just ditch our iconic instantly-recognizable logo for no fucking reasonI'll never understand why companies do this
It looks good, gives very tech and sci-fi feel to it.
>>459032i like how this logo comparison looks somewhat like their real sd card
So what's the current value in current culture if say one to posse, 600k trafficperday, or salesyearly in art, or anime, manga alikes? like maybe drawn in graph or map.

How do I cope knowing that the best logo ever is ruined by a retarded ideology?Nothing comes even close to the swastika. It makes me depressed to the point of giving up logos completely.
