what do you do if you're good at editing stuff but you don't have any ideas?if someone tells me to do something specific I almost always know how to achieve whatever effect they want but whenever I try to compose an image by myself without anyone requesting anything of me I feel like all of the creativity has been sapped out of me and I can't even compose a simple image
>>463342I'm pretty much the same. What works for me is starting to work on something that I personally like, and don't think about commercial appeal at all. There has to be something that you really enjoy: anime, video games, movies, whatever. Even if it's clichee or weird, just try to make something you personally think it's cool.Once the ball starts rolling with that project, it's easier to work on other projects as well
>>463347mean? hahamaybe a bit blunt.but what if my words still carry truth, eh?don't you agree that *an interesting person* with *above average intelligence* would naturally have somewhat interesting ideas? how does shit work, if not like that? have you ever seen an actually interesting person? it is a delight even just watching them prepare breakfast eggs...defaulting to "anyone questioning the interestingness of my life and/or sharpness of my brain is mean" honestly seems like a good starting point for entitlement and overall dullness. you are not special-by-default! and there is no reason for an anon to treat you like you were.also, how could I already be seriously *mean* to you? seems like calling chinese cookie manufacturers "friendly" for calling you a lovable person with their anonymous mass production commodity(?)what do you want to hear? coming up with unique shit is hard and requires a unique person... feel free to follow up.
>>463342youre a technician.so either grow to be a creative, or embrace being a technician and dont worry aout it.
>>463342>what do you do if you're good at editing stuff but you don't have any ideas?you design websites.
>>463342Check out inspirations website such as, EyeCandy, Pinterest, and moooree

Any tips for adding logos to a map like this? I found it easy to add the blue background, but with the big text logos across multiple panels, I would have to divide them up and don't really know where the pieces will match. I'm using Paint.net, any help appreciated.
See how the 2 doors and bottom under the doors don't line up because I've just put the logo on top and not split it up
>>463179damn the design is out already?
the fuck is paintnet?most 3d modelling shits will let you move your image in the properties bar.also, you got this far you can learn to crop and cut graphics.also, shit design for a car.
>>463179Can you post the map without the logo and the logo separately? I want to try something.>>463400 Paint.net is great if you don't want to install heavier programs like Photoshop. I think it has enough features for most people. It might be too limited for OPs case though
>>463180just uv unwrap the door and under panel together as one island.ezpz.
So like after theoffice workers get out of their cubilcle with the shack perspective as where they wanna go, what was worth more?
Hello, anons of /gd/.What is the general opinion, and your personal thoughts, regarding this particular program?It it easy to learn it?
>>463637Well that's a good sign, I think.
>>463635Good for basic stuff non design jobs like it for in house design for ease of use
real easy to learn. been doing things on this long enough. great thing for some basic projects. plus your comrades can easily join up and do shit together
>>463635Yes it is that good and easy
I have new politics party logo. It's about honour and duty and swift sitizen servantmanship. Hard to hear hard to honour code words, so sir yes sir.We live to Ilvews liga and Tappara to honour bronze. Itlvess liga rhutm and rütirnen , We are the leageu of l'eskimos brown metal and thunder.-mwwr cat party politics. _+PLUS_WORD_FOR_WORD_YALLAH,>

Looking for a logo similar to this but the lightning bolt needs to cross the A at a normal looking location and clean up the 405 to sit under it properly
>>463795then go make it
>>463798Easier said than done but thanks.
post comfy architecture
>>463773ai? its a real building
>>463785oh and where exactly is it?
>>463787It was added to a wiki page in 2008 you dumb shit
>>463788ohand where exactly is it?
>>463789what building? no clue what youre talking about
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.
>>462831lol loser get a real job
OP update: I was looking for a job over 4 months. Found something kind of related to my skills. Office looks like shit, medium money, flexible hours, boss with ADHD, doing social media, product photography and bunch of shit not related to my experience but at least I am able to pay the bills. Not good not bad.
>>463610Sounds great since photography is dead too. Wish I could get a job that isn't Uber which I can't do because I can't afford a car.
>>459830>15 yearsoof ive been doing it for 8 and desu good results there's plenty of days where you feel like its a dead end and most days ... it is BUT like other anons are suggesting make your own work literally everyone has to these days
>>463772That's really not true. Most people just "go to work" and don't really do much and play WoW all day and then get paid. And the ones that don't just "go to work" and move bricks and shit and still get paid. Very little thought required.
Let me guess, you need more?Literally all you need 99% of the time.
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.
>>463640Pantone 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
>>463685Yes..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.
>>463699well pantone provides color mixing instructions too
>>463640Pantone 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).
Post and discuss /gd/ you created related to Christianity.
>>463611is he helping me be a pederast? asking for a friend
>>463717this is so tasteless and to be honest as art goes its still shit lol punks cant compete with our guys in this thread
How would I begin to make something like the guys at DesktopGeneration do?
>>463587Someone shared a tutorial (for C4D) here >>463317basically you do an abstract thingie in a 3D program and the rest you do in photoshop/gimp/etcAnd 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.
>>463588I can now see how I can use Blender for that. Thanks.
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
>>463751Ture but you can do your best to translate those old tuts in to something that blender work with
That looks like the signatures people used to make on the playstation forums.

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
>>463532Don't use modern terms if you want to see stuff actually made back in the day. Look up artists names, movie posters, book covers, advertisement, etc.
So don't listen to it then./thread
