>Interesting fact: Originally Mount Rushmore was supposed to have Lewis and Clark, Sacagawea, Red Cloud, Buffalo Bill Cody, and Crazy HorseCan't you use some AI software shit to create a Mount Rushmore so that you can post it here? I'd love to see what I requested in OP as well as your idea

>>459109Ai is retarded
pls rank from best to worst
>>456774this is close, but id rather go bottom left nd the rest just suck.but mostly they have a lot of problems and you need a to find a way to organize that handles all the ugly shapes made from the over lappings
>>4567651>5>>>>>>>>>>2>>3>>>>>>>>>>>>2
Here's my ranking:1. Top choice2. Pretty good3. Not bad4. Meh5. Worst option
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).
>>456765The bottom left is the only good one
No one noticed this.
>>458822lmao
>>458808at least the spacing is fixed now
>>458808it was based off of walt gisney's signature, kinda rude to change it

>>458808Yeah, because it's a subtle change. I prefer the thick outline though.
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.
>>458268it revived germany during the great depression. it's very jewish to bomb a country flat and then say it's economic system failed.
>>458293>lolwe're going to keep getting endless wars until retards like you realize that jews are evil.
>>458267>If any of this symbology was valuable or important or powerful (and if Nazis and/ or activist queers had any balls) each of these groups would simply appropriate the respective symbols as a display of cunning and power and reap the benefits.jews HAVE appropriated the symbol. 99% of the "nazis" you've seen in your life are jewish actors or larpers. if someone is in the news for throwing a nazi salute, 99% of the time it turns out to be a jew.more importantly, jews used the swastika to create both the holocaust industry, which is one of the most lucrative shakedowns in human history, as well as the abolition of any political movement against their power. in modern times the swastika represents pure evil, the kind that's so scary we should be happy to give up our rights to get rid of it.in fact the symbol is so powerful that it triggers people like you even today. it's funny how someone on a design board doesn't recognize how a "simple geometric doodle that literal cave men invented" can appeal to our deeper psyche. pinwheel designs are hypnotizing for a reason.

I would like to use a seamless tileable image as the background for a website. What are some good options to choose from? Pic related is the type of thing I'm looking for, it's the background from YTMND.
>>459153Give more context, please.I would recommend you looking for tiles from early 2000s sites because I simply love them, but i mean, i don't know where you want to use them.I would look for patterns and work from there. Freepik and creative cloud library are good to start. Take a look on the regulations of how to use them in your site so you do not get a surprise fee. If you like one a lot some pattern, you can search the author and negotiate with him directly, usually it is better if it is not for a business.
make them in Illustratorit has a pattern editor and you can define global Color or Gradient swatches and global Pattern swatches using these Color or Gradient swatches, which then auto update the applied Pattern on some shape as you edit any of those swatches

>>459160What kind of context would you like? This is for a web service I'm building, aiming for a mid-2000s/Web 1.0 feel.>>459162Sounds like a good option but is outside of my familiarity at the moment.>>459169This hits the nail on the head. Gonna give it a go with different colors/patterns to see if it can evoke the Web 1.0 feel.Thanks for the help, anons. Feel free to post your favorite tileable backgrounds.
Need help with facebook banner for my aunty's small business, im trying to meet SEO requirements by having it be seeable in in mobile devices (meaning that a fraction of each lateral side will have basically no relevant info)am i over doing it?i know the amber must be in the center, but then how do i integrate the whole "amber sale" thing smoothly?a square is too rough, and a circle is not consistent with the brand's jewelry-like patterns aesthetic.white is blends too much with the background, and black looks cheap, any graphic design principle i am missing?
Oh sorry if i didnt make it clear, the "Mirror" is dead space, its invisible in facebook banners, in that section the profile picture will go, which is the business' logoIm not nessesarily aiming for luxury, just enough credibility to sell these things easily, these ambers arent particulary exclusive, just foregin. It's a sort of naturalist hipsterish vibe im going for, like a seasonal sale.But i get what you mean, i gotta change the backgrounds color to make the amber's orange stand out.I feel like if i could make the amber have a bit more motion like the ribbon it'd look more interesting, sadly i dont have many pictures at the momenther business goals are very humble so i dont think we can justify a proffesional photographer just yet
>>459167I really feel like im almost thereAn correction with what i said here >>459167it is only invisible in Mobiles, which is where i bet most of the potential customers will hang out at.... but it will be visible in desktop.. Yeah i think you are right, in retrospectivemaybe?i think its impossible to make good use of it in both mobile and desktopfacebook should make the space they occupy the same and save us the fucking trouble
maybe like this..
Its ok to have the logo be hidden in mobile, since it will end up getting replaced by the profile picture, which is the same logo
>>459158by the way, she wants to sell other stuff so im kinda not supposed to make it too specific, but rather, something that can be updated seasonallyeven with out of category stuff that has nothing to do with amber, kind of a weird business model but oh well
I made a website - aphantasia.ioYou don't have to tell me how it looks - like crap.But how would you enhance the UI and UX to feel more polished?
>>459156I am not a site designer but i will share my opinons:I like how it looks. Give me some old internet vibes when the internet was good and not focused on SEO and what comment would get more likes. I like how the graph looks.I find it hard to know where I am. I did not understand what the colors mean. I did not open it from mobile, but I think it is a pain to use it on mobile. I think when you click in some ball in the graph it should be more clear that it is selected and where to go from there, maybe focus more on it? I see it will be cluttered as FUCK when more people start using, you need to think how to prepare for it. How do you keep my data safe? Do you keep ir encrypted? Make clear why it is safe.It made me remember a app called secret that something like a decade ago got a huge start, where people could share posts in a anon way based only on range (the closest the person who posted were close to you, the higher the probability of the post to show up to you). It was nice as there was some gossip being spilled on there but rapidly devolved to doxing and cp. You should make some rules about doxing and general behaviour rules more precise than "behave yourself" as people will not.I really wish the best for this project and will look up to it. Hope another anon can help you more than i did.
I need a logo for company Botanic Artsy, it basically sell plants. I need suggestion for fonts, color schemes and logo. I'm really confused.
>>459087Do you want to make the logo yourself? Do you want a really good logo or just anything that works? If you want a decent one, there's not enough information to give you good suggestions, also people on here usually will only help you if you show your own sketches or concepts. There's different ways to go about it, but if you just pick random fonts, colors and what the company do, there's a high chance are you'll end up with something cheap-looking and generic, and you're not going to be able to justify the design decisions you took. Instead the best way to design a logo is something like this: Research what you can about of the company especially the origins and the core essence, as well as what the intentions or objectives for the logo, come up with descriptive words and ideas that line up with what you want the logo to communicate or convey, then sketch them on paper or a tablet and make iterations, refine and vectorize the best ones, explore different fonts and type arrangements you can use https://fontic.xyz/, test the designs on black and white, upside-down, on negative and different sizes, print and mockups, you can add color at any step but is better to create a distinctive silhouette for the logo first and add color at the end, for color palettes suggestions you can use https://khroma.co/, also try to justify each design decisions based on the research you did.
>>459087"it basically sell plants" does not say anything. Is it online or you do have a store? You want to be modern, or appeal to a older audience? Expensive or cheap? How much is the median sell? Etc.Also, talk about the bussiness and show what logos you do like. Also, why you chose "Botanic artsy" as a name can help to figure an appropriate logo.
>>459087The one question people often refuse to address in this situation is "why do you NEED a logo?"They just assume they do, for the most nebulous reasons like "because everybody else has one" or " because it will help my business/ product/service make money"...but these are usually just assumptions and even where people come up with valid reasons they often prioritize them (and a logo) in ways that aren't very realistic.Of course many designers are happy to play along with the basic premise because it's how they make money, and when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.You need to really nail down what "needs" you think the ideal logo will fulfill and *precisely* how it will do that. Then look objectively at alternatives that can accomplish the same *well defined* goals (not just "basically sell plants"), and honestly assess which option/path is superior, and why.If you do this you will have a far better idea of what kind if visual business identity to pursue, or if it's even that important.More importantly, if you can't approach this process of proving your basic premise with the same tenacity you would a potential customer who *makes* you do the same work to sell them something they ostensibly "need", then you are in for a really rough time in any business endeavor and will just be hoping for things to magically work out in your favor.
>>459087Think about what this logo is for.One easy way to increase your visual uniqueness is to add in some related imagery. Think about what botanic arty does and how you can incorporate symbols into your image. Perhaps vines could climb up some of your letters and bloom into a single flower? The goas is to have fun. Be sure the BA can work on it's own as a symbol without color as printers will often need a 1 color version of your logo.
>>459087maybe make the Otanic rtsy bigger?so it overlaps a bit with the A
What were they thinking?
>>459032It's fine.
>>459032Looks retro 80s scifi dystopian megacorpish. And that's a good thing.
>>459083Here's to hoping the future will at least have cool-looking logos.

>>459032looks like something out of a shitty low budget sci fi movie
I have 25,000 images like pic related. Old timey engraved images. I found them in old books from Internet Archive before it went belly up. I cleaned them, vectorized them, converted them to backgroundless PNGs. Where can I sell them? I'm trying to get 250 - 300 USofA dollarinos a month. Etsy? What image service should use? Do they even exist anymore? Also, you have a freebie in pic related.
>>458831I'm trying to start a clothing brand and the stuff you have looks like a great match for the aesthetic I'm going for, I would pay you the same 100 USD anon offered you in BTC but I would rather pay you via paypal or something like that if that's fine with you.
>>458831Did you really vectorize and clean 25000 images?
>>459129>bitmap>import>2 colorWith my current setup it takes as little as 8 seconds to do. Going as fast as possible you could easily translate that much without automated scripts within a week.
>>459130That's only if you are lucky enough that they don't need cleaning. In my experience, there's always small paper artifacts, dots, smudges, and so on. Plus rotating, cropping, and other small adjustments you need to do depending on each image.I've tried doing a project with repetitive tasks before, which was really easy, but I had to do it hundreds of time like a graphic monkey. It was absolutely soul crushing
>>459135Technically speaking even the pic on the OP has flaws. Getting a "perfect" scan is half the battle. From there the process is greatly simplified.I'd recommend (if you find the task itself repetitive and daunting) to outline and script your process. That way you have the easy repetitive work done. From a marketing perspective, potential clients may favor broken or warped vector scans for a greater "distressed antique" feel. Ultimately the true value comes from it's source and the efforts needed to repair them. If that is your market I'd advise you to heavily advertise the work you did to repair them. Otherwise that work might go unappreciated.
Go, fix their designs

I'm trying to recreate the distress on this text. Any ideas? I tried with some difference clouds at first but realized it's very grid like on the original, not so random.
>>459126That kind of artifacting is typical of pre- digital halftone screening techniques used to translate a continuous tone image into something that could be printed with limited ink colors.>Prior to digitised images, special photographic techniques were developed to break grayscale images down into discrete points. The earliest of these was "screening" where a coarse-woven fabric screen was suspended before the camera plate to be exposed, breaking the incoming light into a pattern of dots via a combination of interruption and diffraction effects. The photographic plate could then be developed using photo-etching techniques to create a printing plate. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/HalftoneI highly reccomend reading the rest of that article with the understanding that much of the technology and technique involved was about *avoiding* any lingering visual obviousness and artifacts. That's why digital processes that have replaced the old methods can be less than suitable for recreating the effect.In this case one obvious issue is the screen orientation, as the wiki explains those patterns were typically skewed away from being perfectly square to the page (and in color separations, each other) to avoid that grid- like effect when viewed.There's lots of ways to replicate that old process digitally using layers with actual screen/ line/ dot patterns and blending them with your b&w art...keep in mind that exposure had a lot to do with the final effect on the films uses, both as positive images and negatives.Because of this being a kind of niche effect now that people want and the steps necessary to replicate it, there are also brushes available to do it like picrel...but I'd say at least try it using layers, it will help you in other ways too.1/2
>>4591272/2Finally keep in mind that all of this is another thing entirely from the "screen" blend mode in most photo editors, although that mode might come in handy at some point in the process. IOW it's not designed to make things look like they were photographed though a literal screen.
Illustrator is making a beeping sound whenever I select a white object. It only started this morning. I don't know what happened.
Sorry OP your computer is racist
>>458584Sounds like some obscure feature, enabled by some even more obscure keyboard acceleration sequence like Ctrl + Alt + Shift + Win + Up Arrow + Left Arrow
>>458584OP here. I reformatted my PC shortly after making the thread. The issue disappeared, then this morning it's suddenly back againWTF?
You could try muting Illustrator's volume in the Windows volume mixer
Is it the windows error sound.
