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.
>>455742All I'm hearing from you is derivative doomer bullshit. If it really is as hopeless as you say it is, do us all a favor and jump off a cliff already, or actually TRY to make a change for the better.
>>455846Imagine taking anything this whore says seriously. Couldn't be me.
>>455743even if that were the case it wouldn't make any arguments more or less valid. (?)
>>455711just an fyi it's been 14 months and you still look and sound retarded
>>455677>AI is le bad
how is content built when expecting sales, click, traffic?maybe especially considering Ai, now or even before, or even with. how are things produced maybe if you expect, gradual growth to...tens thousands, millions yearly
>>461650this is a remarkably ambiguous question
>>461661huh? it went through straight ahead backthen
There's context: Now i'm trying port models from game "Megaglest" To Warcraft 3 world editor. Megaglest's models was in format "g3d", and i have a lot of butthurt to open them. But finally i dd it. But there's a new problems:I can open them in blender 2.90 with special add-on. I can play their animation, and their textures are correct. Anything is good, right?But to open them in " Retera's model studio", or "Matrix Eater 3d", or in 3ds max, i need to convert them to other format. And there's the first trouble. Format OBJ - Freely opening in any other program, but absolutely no animation. Format FBX - I hear that he can save animation, but in the practice, programs can't open this file with this format. And i sacrifice the animation, to open model in Retera's model studio.. But when i did this, model has no textures.. And i wonder why? When i trying to forcely wrap textures on model, program claiming the error. And i was trying various formats. Blp2, png, mtl, but nothing ever happens and i CAN'T UNDERSTAND. PLEASE HEEEEELP...
>>460449>>>/3/
hi, i´m new to graphic design, i´d like to know the name of this style, and how you would go about learning to do something similar. thanks
>>461310>>461311reminds me of max for some reason>>460823probably is slop but it was trained on video game art from the 80s
Remind me of Plastiboo style especially in Vermis
I need to recreate this pattern in illustator for my work. Does anyone know how or link me a tutorial. Thanks!
>>460350use StippleGen 2
Just use paint.net

I thought Pentagram were supposed to be like the best of the best designers? What the fuck happened?
>>461286>>461287doesn't look exciting, granted. but it isn't bad either. visually situates them between finance and tech. pretty much expected for a business of their size, no?
>>461290>but it isn't bad either.it's bland and soulless, how is that engaging for a brand?the old PP logos were at least playful to a degree and more interesting just off of color alone
>>461292For those massive 0.1% brands there's way more than that, people already know them, there's no need for a logo, they want the opposite, a completely neutral mark that people don't even notice and is not associated with anything, for example what if those colors represent something negative in some place? you will lose millions, there's also a lot of psychology and human behavior involved, not to mention the hundreds of millions they can save every year if they use only one color.
New one is better. Italics are a thing of the past man.
>>461292the PP Logo isn't gone, they just don't recommend using it together with the wordmark anymoreit'd be retarded to throw away a logo like that, as a payment processor having a simple icon anyone can immediately recognize as "this is available" is super important. hence why visa/mastercard also have very simple but super easy to recognize iconsthat said paypal in general has been in a huge design rut, there's so many different UI languages in their site now it feels like it's about to explode in a billion pieces. especially if you have a biznu account
Best FICTIONAL sports team logos?
>>460260And now it's over. Well, uh... we scored MORE THAN ZERO goals! And we may be locked into Autumn (which gives me time to better oversee things) but maybe we can still dodge the qualifiers? If we just... beat... /pw/... alright probably not.Anyway. If you've been watching: a) thank you, b) I'm sorry, and c) I'll do a poll after our last match as to options for the future. Maybe I'll grab the reins more in earnest, maybe we'll take another long nap, maybe something else happens. Whatever we do, I'm sure as SHIT not letting someone else make us an autopilot again! See ya Sunday.
It's match time for our final game this go-around, and /pw/ are in a very emotional state today... so they're probably about to take it out on us. Hardcore style.The future is unwritten... but the present promises pain. Let's take our lumps and live to fight another day. Hard times, daddeh. Here we go.isthisliv.com/stream
It was pretty gud. Seek normal place for more thoughts
Well, hot damn! What a last-minute turnaround! Not enough to advance, mind you, but maybe that's for the best. More time for me to finalize some draft proposals and generally get my act together across the board.Hope you enjoyed the Pet Shop Boys, we're going home with our heads high. If you're down for it, I'll be around and back in Autumn.
>>459918>banker>peasant>chief from warrior cultureHow about the San Francisco Samurai?
am I a complete beginner at graphic design? I thought I had the grasp of basic concepts but I was harshly corrected when posting designs on the internet should I start with more simple things? I am autistic about book covers but every time I try to get a bit creative I get told it just doesn't look that good
>>461272I am sure your ability to accept and effectively incorporate criticism will make you a star designer in no time! your designs are already so promising it is crazyyyyy
>>461273ah. I thought you grouped my answer together with this one >>461271as "unhelpful".cannot do that right now. maybe another day. in the meanwhile just give it a try?
>>461277Okay, I was wondering why you suddenly got all aggressive lol
>>461268>the cross is casting the shadowWithin the context of the black and white design, it is doing the exact opposite: the cross is casting a beam/ray of illumination that spreads as it fills the foreground, not casting a shadow in a beam of light from a source behind it- the cross IS the only logical source of light in the image.In any 2D image that uses perspective to create an illusion of depth, accurately representing light sources and direction are key to making the effect be cohesive and comprehensible, *especially* if you intend to take artistic license and add incongruous elements like shadows that don't follow the shapes of the people casting them.The design still has to "work" along the same rules of geometry and physics that would apply were it a full color photograph using real elements....otherwise you are just making it more confusing because they eye/brain seeks out ways to resolve what doesn't look right even where it might exist in complete darkness in the scene. As long as what looks right *could* be there it works, but if what might explain things *cant* be there the confusion is perpetually unresolved.
>>461279Thanks for the detailed reply but what I mean to say was "the cross is making the person cast a shadow"
>had a steady stream of freelance work inquiries for the last 10 years>4-5 inquiries a week, 4-5 of which got converted to clients per month>this February/March they just fucking disappeared forever >I'm not talking about a drop I'm talking about a permanent stop, zero inquiries total in the last 3 monthsAny other freelancers have a similar experience? I'm not seeing anyone else complain about a drop in jobs but I don't see what could be affecting only me
>>460405>passive advertisingWhere did you posted?
>>460409Instagram
>>460405>cold contacting resulted in ZERO projects or responses at all after ~200 inquiriesThis illustrates a fundamental misunderstanding of the value of advertising that ironically also accounts for a lot of situations where businesses cut out advertising spending because it didn't get exactly the results they *wanted* exactly when they wanted it ...The value of unsolicited direct contacts can't really be determined solely on how many people sign up at the moment of contact- if that happens, great- but it's an ongoing process that isn't just a simple numbers game or a magic spell you just need to figure out and then profit.Advertising successfully requires long haul dedication and exploiting any and all value the contact creates even if it takes time to see it- that could be improved market visibility, referrals, people whose needs are currently met being more willing to fire their current designer if he drops the ball a year from now because they have an attractive alternative in you... Ignoring that potential just because your marketing didn't pay off immediately as revenue is short sighted and one of the most common mistakes people in business make...it's only a waste of time/money if you throw away that deeper potential by getting mad and quitting early.If you did a direct mail marketing appeal for a client and they complained the same way you wouldn't just say "you're right, it won't help so let's give up"...It's sales; if it's not working sell better.
>>460413NTA but not even warm calling works anymore. I've measured it by placing trackers on all links. Guess what, I barely got a few clicks. I'm too tired of it all. And before someone questions my quality, it's not it. I'm absolutely certain of it after looking at what trash portfolios others have.
>>460403I mean the last couple months has had way less work for me than normal
Good interview covering basic principles that anyone designing logos and related content should be aware of-https://www.printmag.com/daily-heller/would-you-buy-a-logo-from-this-man/
>anyone designing logosI made a logo for my AI company, too.
>>461168>A company logo must communicate the “expertise” of a company in its core symbology, and be designed so we trust that the company has this expertise.How does this logo do that?
>>461038ART IS THE NEW CURRENCY
>>461192>How does this logo do that?It shows that the company and its staff stuff lots of logic (as symbolized by the PCB traces) up their butts (as symbolized by the stylized fingers reaching for the cheeks, which resembling the famous GOATSE). It is therefore aligned with the trend of Western AI companies to feature butthole like logos, making it modern and pleasing to the eye in the process.
is this icon i made good or does it need more effort?
>>460833Add a crucifix, otherwise it's good.
Is it readable and iconic when you squint your eyes, or see it from a distance?
>>460833When it's good you won't have to ask others
it's nasty anon i'm sorryyou need:1) better tools (you've got aliasing everywhere)2) a nicer gradient (especially keep in mind the contrast, your current becomes way darker in the middle)3) a good font, calibri is uh, uhhhhhhh4) honestly you want to just make a bunch of versions maybe ask people which they like more
>>460833desu maybe it needs anything *but* more of your effort
I’ve just noticed these three things featured in the collaged poster for a ‘69 iteration of “Chappie” created by New York-based collaged artist, Peter Stults has used several images from the robot and various sources on this Photoshopped art.
Not related to “Chappie”, but noticed Stults used references to Akira Sorimachi’s art as he borrows a pose of Lilli to fit in with Janet Leigh’s character for a Eahling comic iteration of “A Fish Called Wanda” by ‘57 with Grant, Sellers and Williams (‘Carry On’ comedies).
>>461184I’m sure someone would probably find out where the artist (Stults), borrowed the original body from the robot for making this collaged piece of art.
Ok Peter Stults, you posted this thread before...Nice collage art I guess, but there's no reason to shill your work here. It's better to just be honest and post "hey guys, I made this, do you like it?"
>>461188I’m the one who posted this, not the artist himself.
>>461190bruh, don't be ridiculous. you have been exposed before and now again.everybodys can see through your badly staged, stupid bs...
What do you anons think about the affinity designer program.Tbh im so frustrated with Adobe, can't make myself pay 20$ per month to use their broken fresco photoshop app for the tablet.If anyone has any experience with the affinity program on pc or tablet, I'd appreciate your insight
>>461062tablet generals are usually at /ic/ also a lot of people use either procreate or krita (free)
I used Affinity as a Illustrator replacement on desktop. Affinity is fine. The only thing to note is the brushes are not vector: they are raster. It has no pathtracing or parametric effects like blends either.
I don't know about Designer...I think Affinity Photo and the whole suite is awesome and fun to use. I learned Photoshop in high school about 3 years ago and 2 days ago downloaded Affinity Photo and fell love instantly.I never liked using the Photoshop app in school and but I love opening Affinity photo and playing with it. It is simple but super fun. Also the App in my Mac feels super responsive and fast. No problem with crushing or stuff...The one time payment of Affinity beats Adobe in my mind.
give constructive criticism
>>461194That's clever once you focus on it anon
>>461217what does "focus" on it mean? put more effort? focus on refining the idea?
>>461194It's not terrible and the ideas from the book it conveys are clear enough...my only critique would be that it might be better with more attention given to balance ie the type sizes could be larger, the 1984 offset to the right doesn't match the rest of the poster that is overpowered by the symmetry of the searchlight beam, even as the type there is offset to the left.I'd consider skewing the light beam slightly to make its form less stable and rigid, in keeping with the unsettling, sweeping vibe of authoritarian searchlights scanning for dissenters.I'd personally also try making the 8 the searchlight source, how the beam interacts with the lower part of the 9 is not helpful IMO. If you slid the 1984 over and made the lower loop the light source it would be cleaner and the top loop would also suggest a watching eye.I might also play with the lines that appear to simulate a block of print, you could probably make them larger and fewer and keep the effect with better balance and legibility, maybe experiment with making the letters illuminated by the beam pure white too.
