What is the next big aesthetic wave after Flat Design going to be? How much longer will Flat Design last?

>>459755Where can I get wallpapers in this style?
>>462926Good question. When you search for “80s futurism” you usually just get derivative stuff like synthwave and vaporwave. Closest you get to authentic 80s are the retro VHS covers (which pop up on /wg/ sometimes). If I get around to making more retro wallpapers (usually assembled from ads found in vintage tech magazines) I'll upload them here: https://mega.nz/folder/qFRTCBKR#5aUllou_aLkh0TZ9dEBbqQ/folder/LQAzELxR
>>456970They will hold soulless flat slop over your head for the rest of your life because it's easier for retarded third world ESL shitskins to comprehend and the corpos will not stop until they've sold every last one of us out to them.
>>462123>>461792Apple's been doing that in some capacity at least since 2000
Illustrator beginner here. How's this for my first time? Any help or advice would be appreciated.
>>462947The best place to get creative stuff is vk (russian facebook) but don't just download everything, try to curate and develop a setup for making stuff reliable and fast, with files made for presentation too, like t-shirts or poster mockups (I mostly download or pay for True Grit Supply or high quality stuff). for example you can just search on google like this:site:vk.com astute graphics>Astute Graphics Bundle + Pro Texture Packs (Windows) (641.08 MB) tested only on Illustrator v26.0.3 CC 2022>Download:https://workupload.com/file/QxAY7sVNQLG
>>462948This is highly appreciated anon. True Grit Supply does seem to offer a better deal than Astute Graphics considering the latter is charging a subscription to use their assets.I downloaded the link you showed me and I'm a little surprised to see an .exe for plugins. Is this normal or just their way of DRM?
>>462950Also, I forgot to add, any recommended channel or tutorial to get a hang of Illustrator? I know my way around Photoshop a bit, but I'm still new with this.
>>462950True Grit is the best for brushes and textures in specific styles, for example they have: 50s atomic age, 60s psychedelic, 70s groove funk, 80s pop art, 90s grunge, retro comics, woodcut, vintage halftones, 2000s printing textures, t-shirt distress textures etc. You use them mostly if you plan to work with some form of print in those artstyles, or for selling t-shirts, posters, books, etc.Astute Graphics, is mostly used to speed up your workflow for example if you use a tool more than once you should make a keyboard shortcut for it, also they both have channels with tons of tutorials but I only watched maybe one or two videos.https://www.youtube.com/@TrueGritTextureSupplyhttps://www.youtube.com/@astutegraphics/videos
>>46295190% of Illustrator is just the pen tool and you learn it by tracing your own drawings, after you do 10 or 20 you'll get used to it. and later on you can trace on illustrator but a lot of people trace on paper and take a pic with your phone, or some sketch on photoshop and use the image as reference in illustrator.The most used things to learn for illustrators are the basic stuff, like how to place and edit the points and handles, how to use the pathfinder panel, and other tools like cutting, grouping/ungrouping, bring layers to the front or back, lock layers, etc. (you should have shortcuts for those).These are the channels where I learned the most useful stuff from, the last one is a podcast so you can just leave the sound on but you can learn a lot about the business side, is just interviews with some illustrators and designers who are successful:https://www.youtube.com/@TheVectorLabhttps://www.youtube.com/@RetroSupplyhttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAtkH02dHIUKLtn7djPbduhnLxx9EzRnhhttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1kftJGcwTVr5-zWlPwPklmybWVAagLDZAnd finally these videos are pretty inspirational and helpfulhttps://vimeo.com/55846250Comment too long.

I feel like its missing something. Maybe a diff picture of jesus would work better? Idk. Suggestions?
>>462323bottom left is aislop
>>462515Better than human slop.>>462323Make yeshua's skin darker, and give him a wider, flatter nose. More afrocentric features in general I think. You're close though!
Flame decals on the car, thicker outlines on the text. Some lens flares.
>>462323You need to have a more consistent visual identity. The problem is a lack of vision I guess.Notes:-The various outlines around the "trap" look iffy and how completely different it looks from the Jesus element is jarring.-The bottom text is not really aligned in any good manner. It's interestingly placed but it has no real impact. If it completed the circular shape created by the the positioning of the "Trap Jesus" it'd be cooler looking-the ancient egypt background is useless here and doesn't add anything to the ideas introduced by any of the text. If aqualantis is a cool place that is water themed then why is there a fucking pyramid here?-the space ship idea is out of left field and is better left out or implied in some other symbolic/esoteric way-the car looks like shit-the Poseidon? on the left there looks incredibly bad.I had a better idea for this. I'm no expert mind you, I'm just a guy with too much free time.
it needs additional "bling" to balance the bling of the car.maybe put a audacious jewled cross around jesus neck or an adidas symbol on his robe or maybe a sexy girl in a bikini
This is the label design for Peter Stormare's vodka, what would you do differently ?
(Perhaps subconciously) influenced by picrel (both this particular design and the artist's general style and that of his era) the same way all rock guitar bands are influenced by Chuck Berry. Peter Max also did this more sloppy hippie-ish lettering style sometimes too and of course tons of people copied them.It's supposed to be quirky and bohemian and "honest" and have "soul".
>>462920Warhol also wasn't the only big name artist to crapify the word mark for that campaign to make it more arteestic...but it was a big thing in marketing that blurred the line between commercial and advertising art (hence Warhol) and people now who make crap looking vodka labels because it somehow looks right don't even know it's because they're copying that template.https://thebrandhopper.com/2024/09/14/a-case-study-on-absolut-vodkas-absolut-bottle-campaign/#The_Art_of_Collaboration_Absoluts_Partnerships_and_Limited_Editions
>>462921Wkj
>>462921Sorry, meant to say->tblurred the line between commercial and *fine* art (hence Warhol)
>>462923Yeah this isn't any of that. This is just bad fad design
Hello My real name is Joe but I have gone by scor online and even built a little following as an editor with it.Im on here cause I have ran into a hurdle I want to venture into more things but going at those things solo is a bit challenging. I have started coding and have built a couple projects but I want some people i can rub ideas with and in my community I am one in many who involve themselves with this.Is there anybody who codes or maybe is into design or technical side of computers?My discord is ScorScor#8524
>>462784Anon, this isnt the place to socialize.

I have a request, I'm requesting this. This thing I'm requesting is what I'm requesting: I need screenshots of old forum sites, the actual threads. I cannot find them. I can find the thread browser in old forums, I can find old forums with the new bland minimal aesthetic, but I cannot find actual threads.I've tried wayback machine for Gaia Online, WoW, FFXI and a few other sites, they have returned with heavily missing css and html. I am at wits end, some may call me witless, but whether my wits are less or more than 0, my time is being whittled to nothing. Please, lets put our wits together to which we can find old threads of forum posts from the early 2000s.

I want to add the initials "MH" to this, how would you do it?
>>462110IDK I'm not good at this
>>462143that is cool!!! I dig it a lot!
>>462180Wow, thanks!
>>462109>>462108Mental illness/insanity
>>462113>That had some John Deere flavor I'm not quite ok with.
concerns?
>>462850wow it is so derivative, kitsch and plaiy shallow. it serves no point other than caricaturizing the entirety of your favourite pinterest board, seasones with manchild podcast verbiage and stolen pseudo-mysticism. merely suited to be sold at h&m, just after the referenced subculture already started moving on to other aesthetic developments.the center text element is well made. but the whole thing is just hedonistic masturbation. equivalent to drip paintings done by alcoholic moms who try to escape having to look at the harsh reality of finding themselves in a life without noteworthy agency.
random meaningless shit wow so cool
>>462864making safe knockoffs of shit that exists is a good way to learndon't say you weren't making derivative geometric/foliage/splatter brush vomit wallpapers and forum signatures gfx just like all the others in 2005the use of various photoshop and/or illustrator tools in this one is mostly competent and could apply to something functional. at least it's not some completely directionless retard xD ps filter vomit
>>462869fine. I accept value in adding your perspective to the discussion, but I deny it questioning my given criticism.the final result has exactly the problems I mentioned, mainly that of dishonesty and (grotesque?) derivation. and while it is true that in the confines of your private workspace it is more than okay to produce the trash that makes 80% of what we create, framing and putting it in a public pedestal to be viewed is something else entirely. >bigger boi setting asks for bigger boi feedbackzin the context of public artworks it *is* trash that doesn't add anything but regurgitates cultural production into an even more acidic turd.>human centipede art. of which there exists more than enough alreadyand if OP is smart they will realize how much more value there is in my seemingly antagonistic reality check over reinforcing their rigid, asset-vomit, prompt-completion process with sugary words.>but feel free to point out what you think is the most important lesson for OP to learn at this point(?)
It's ugly. It's the ugliest shit you could possibly make.99% of homophobia is due to this abomination. If the gay flag were cool, if the colors actually complemented each other, if it had some cool lesbian animal symbolism or something like that people would LOVE the gays.I try to tell this to people but they're in denial
>>462187Actually the number of colours of a real rainbow is variable.

Always looking for something new to moan and attention seek about.
Since when does this board exist?
>>4628122013, always been pretty dead thoughfont share threads were active for a few years but since that lost traction it's been a ghost town
Honestly doubt even the jannies monitor this board. It used to be slow but kind of active.Pretty sure since ai image generation became a thing its died entirely.
>>462877it died before that, it happened to other generals or boards as well, when they forced you to wait 120 seconds or pay for a 4chan pass to post, there's tons of gd discords are pretty active
>>462812It has existed for a decade at this point but i dont blame people for not knowing it exists when its so dead
I can't seem to find a stupid questions thread so new thread it is.I'm a /co/rtoonist and I'm trying to make a comic page template like pic related but with custom measures. On inkscape I managed to draw a rectangle with the specific measures and managed to center it, so I have the safe area but I have no idea how to do the little lines that mark the thirds and fourths.I assume I should split the faces of the rectangle into individual lines but then what do I use to find the center, thirds etc?Is this even the right approach for such thing? is there a better way to undertake this?
Can you just use the pen tool to create lines where you want them.
>>462843>is there a better way to undertake this?I did the same a while ago, I tried using Inkscape for a project and after a couple hours I gave up and went back to Adobe™, Illustrator/Photoshop/InDesign are just reliable and you save yourself headaches and time by working faster and finding tutorials instantly, also if you're making a comic the last thing you want to do is the measures, here's a great description of the process two guys used in the comic watchmen:https://youtu.be/ouGqN-2efA8?si=KrvlrEd2rssnpk0e&t=363
OP here, so I powered through it and found the places for the guidelines using the technique described here https://web.archive.org/web/20210612234747/https://andreasaronsson.com/guides/perspective-drawing/divide-into-equal-parts/I expected to there be something more sophisticated to archive the same results with less work plus I'm not sure how precises is the work I did.What do you guys think?>>462845Yes.>>462847I just prefer FOSS software and Watchmen is an example of why these types of guidelines are so important since watchmen sticks to a 3 x 3 grid for all its pages.
What is the name of this graphic design style?
i might be wrong but i think this falls loosely under Y2K
Optima yero.
>>4628022000s Green Line- English for foreign students
>>462802i graduated a community college in 2001 and work a dead end job making mediocre education book covers design style
>>462852shouldn't have said 'dead end' as able to do anything useful on a computer was lucrative in the 2000s with a fairly low barrier of entry and actual competency. any retard could claim to be a "webmaster" or a web/graphic designer.
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.
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.

We need to RETVRN to Y2K
when you try to revive something from the past, you always end up with an inferior bastardization of the original. aesthetics are downstream from culture and represent the culture and world around it.Y2K died on September 11, 2001 and is never coming back. best you can do start something new
>>462801>ads predominantly show Asians and WhitesWell well well
>>462801start buying magazines boi
>>462821>giving power to 911y2k aesthetics didn't end until almost 2010
>>462801you don't seem to be able to recognize what visual minimalism, a minimal composition is or isn't
