>>458261>Who needs originalityOriginality in a corporate ID symbology only matters when you are trying to set yourself apart from larger established competitors. When you ARE the largest established player in your space (as all of the companies in the OPs image arguably are) there's little if any value to be gained from trying to be different for its own sake.The companies in that image that used the quirky, lighthearted "fun" look were all originally using it to identify as something other than the staid, serious, powerful corporate blocs they were up against...it was a way of thumbing their noses at the idea that you had to look, act and *be* one of them to take them on. It's a very astute approach at that start up phase when unproven investment vehicles rely more on "beat the system" ideology and gambling on a long shot to attract money.Once they gained major market share and clout in their space they took on the same "serious" trappings as the earlier corporate blocs they displaced because that's what is expected of them by investors who now have something concrete to lose if they continue on the more radical and risky path of being upsetters.Nobody wants or needs to upset a space they virtually own.

what is a WEBP file and why is it suddenly everywhere?

Google pays major hosts to batch convert all their shit to webp, and it gets preferential indexing in searches which affects downstream indexersUnironically nepotism in image format.
>>458372thanks that was informative.

It's like jpeg2000, but worse.

Hey /gd/I have a question, if I produce images using illegal versions of Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign, do these images have any metadata that can be tracked to see if they were illegally produced?and how do I remove such metadata, I tried googling this shit but it doesn't come up with any real answers on this topicI'm just getting to the point of completing my 4th as well as 5th gd project for my portfolio and want to upload them all to Behance but also still not cause any problems for potential employers.thanksAlso post your questions/queries
Hi. I'm looking for a cheap tablet for light use—simple drawings, note-taking, calligraphy practice, and messing around with Blender. Thinking about the "egee M908," but the few YouTube reviews I found only cover unboxing and the first hour of use. I know you guys have good judgment and experience... Anyone familiar with this model or brand? Is it worth it as an entry-level tablet for a hobbyist/newbie fag?
What's a program/tool that can combine/merge faces together? Can typical photo editing software like Photoshop, Gimp, Krita etc do that and if so how? I'm not talking about pasting someones face onto another's head, I mean actually ccombining and averaging the facial & skull features clearly.
>>458788Is what you have in mind basically two frames superimposed, the one on top with some degree of transparency? Just like your provided image? If so then yes that's extraordinarily simple, just play around with PS or Gimp and you can figure out how to do it easily.
>>458795Yes that, except doing so without the ghosty effect (at least not on the face) like here in this photo. I mean fully merging/averaging out the features of 2 pictures. Is that possible without ai?
In photoshop, is there a "fill" mask?(pic shows what kind of fill I mean)Opacity has it's own layer mask. That's great and all, but Fill does things that Opacity can't. I would like to affect the layer in a similar way as Opacity, but affecting Fill instead. I suppose it doesn't have to be a mask. Even though a mask would be perfect for my use case. I would like any insight on how to affect Fill on a more complex level than merely sliding the bar up and down. I want different parts of the layer to have different levels of fill.
I thought this board was supposed to be for porn???
>>458461Well, it's a gay board, so it's still true.
Does anyone want to design merch for Duolicious? I'll shill your designs and give you 100% of the profits for the first few months.I know I could use AI, or Fiverr, or Dribbble, or other stuff like that for designs. But all the AI tools I've tried seem hesitant to emulate even the innocuous facets of Twitch culture, let alone 4chan. And I doubt it'll make designs that work well for embroidery, badges, and anything which isn't a direct-to-garment print. Fiverr's work quality is trash and no one replies on Dribbble.If you're interested, could you post ITT and/or email your portfolio to admin@duolicious.app?
>>458421If the purpose of your garments is to garner publicity, you need it to be beautiful, otherwise only cringelords wear memes in public. Except for this one, they're all mostly ugly and this one doesn't even have a readable "call to action" anywhere on it. If you want to generate money from it, then there you should follow different paths—that is the product itself. But as it is designed right now, no heteronormative person will touch it. This leaves you with a bunch of mentally ill women and a plethora of desperate weebs.
>>458426>only cringelords >a bunch of mentally ill women and a plethora of desperate weebsDid you completely miss the part about it being a 4Chan -centric dating app?Quoting OP:>/a/ and /v/ are the boards which use Duolicious the most. Anime, manga, and gaming are among the most popular interests users have. "Chronically online" users are targeted in Duolicious' app store listings.The feedback in the Know Your Meme entry makes clear that the user base is exactly the people you are suggesting he try not to appeal to (pic related).Once again, someone on /gd/ offering commercial art advice that betrays an almost complete lack of even the most basic marketing awareness like "know your audience".Catchall MOA VD
>>458441How did I miss anything, since I precisely described your demographic in one line? Or do you actually believe that autists would not prefer a good looking product over what you have now? It seems that you became overly defensive when several people pointed out the glaring obvious. But let me ask you this: why are you trying to market it like a generic sales machine? Why are you applying traditional marketing tactics to a bunch of anti-social, anti-consumerists? Why did you try to shift gears from chan-culture to broad market in an attempt to bring in normies last summer? Was it not your intention to grow it beyond what it is now, i.e. a sausage fest? Why do you look for influencers to increase your audience when that is the opposite of what you claim to be—a closed ingroup of neurodivergents? It seems that you are the one who lacking any experience in managing and growing digital products by selling merch (lmao), and some don't have the name on it, as if someone can guess what brand it represents.Oh, and by the way, congrats on spreading trans cancer even more.
>>458441Nta but you're delusional if you think those people are going to buy merch; they're already on Duolicious almost explicitly because they're too autistic for normal dating apps or they are attention-starved whores. The former will not wear them because they are already conscious of their appearance to begin with an wearing a shirt advertising a social reject dating platform will only be worse. The latter will not wear them unless they are exceptionally fashionable because they need IG validation. You're really confident for a retard.
>>458443I'm not the anon you replied to lol>Why are you applying traditional marketing tactics to a bunch of anti-social, anti-consumerists?I'm actually not picky about who buys the shirts or if the shirts serve to market Duolicious. I just need money to advertise to new users, and I don't want to sell subscriptions in the dating app itself because I feel a bit like I'm preying on users' loneliness.>Why did you try to shift gears from chan-culture to broad market in an attempt to bring in normies last summer?I get this a lot. About 200k thousand people signed up within a few weeks. It costs big dating apps about a dollar to acquire a user. So your belief is basically that some random anon on 4chan spent $200k to market a completely free dating app to racists on Twitter. Doesn't it seem more plausible that people just posted about Duolicious on the internet cuz "le heckin femcels"?

>>458197No, it's on you to remain without a job because you were spending your time coping.
>>458214This.Hipster retrofags with no inventive will shiver while real talented people shall continue their path.AI is after mediocrity.
>>458166Graphic artists are more necessary than ever, but the tools and resources make it easier than ever.The demand for the skill isn't disappearing, but the supply of decently skilled graphics people is bigger than ever.It's turning more into a general labor position, except instead of being good with your hands and willing to exert yourself physically, you need to be good with computers and willing to exert yourself creatively.It's this way more than ever, but it's been going this way for a very long time.Most people who study and get a job in graphic design move onto other fields by the time they're 25. They'll retain and use their design skills, but the design skills are one discipline of many.
>>458252This is true and also depressing as fuck, I know so many graphic designers who can't draw or paint for shit, its insane that we created this world in which honest beauty and aesthetics are not only dead but actively discouraged in favor of some esoteric numbers-based wankeryIf you're one the few people that actually grasp traditional mediums like drawing painting fairly well while also being proficient with digital programs I think you'll have no problem finding work but I'm afraid the damage to one's soul might be too much to bear for the average person
Project Neo (Beta) is out now. Another nail in the coffin.

Are they any resources or guides explaining how best to caption videos in terms of pacing the cuts in the captions to match the cadence of the dialogue versus pacing the captions based on the strict visual appeal of each individual captioned phrase/segment in and of themselves, or grouping captions based on linguistic clauses?
>>457893prollybut end of day it really very simple: dont confuse the audience just cuz you have some hair brained idea about captions.
>>457893For basic technical standards you can look at closed captioning resources, check out "Major Considerations for Filmmakers" for the numbers-https://simpledcp.com/introduction-to-timed-text-in-dcps/That may be specific to some program but the basic minimum timing and legibility stuff is the same for any method.Anything you might do beyond that to add drama or humor or suspense or whatever to the delivery of subtitles is directing.
>>457893European TV and media has good standards, especially the Finnish telly.There's a lot of small details, but tl;dr: >give each word minimum of 0.3 seconds on screen.>don't be afraid of letting the text "over stay" on the screen after the character's stopped talking, especially when translating from another language.>if multiple characters talk right after another, consider showing both at the same time. Line break in-between.>Pure white font + black outline = easiest to read.>Font size should be at least 10% of the fame height, centered horizontally, and slightly elevated from the bottom edge. Some even take it as high as 2 to 3/5ths from the bottom.
