All of these just prove that the collective mass of "designers" is just worse than a single AI doing the job.

All of this crap is just a gazillion filters added to dozens of duplicate layers with absolutely no meaning behind them. It's just as bad as is modern "design".

This is the Untermensch of design. It is not design. It's aesthetics at best.

How is it that adobe still basically has no real competition sure there's alternatives to photoshop, illustrator, premiere pro but from what I've seen none of them really measure up to adobe so what is it that the alternatives aren't doing that would at least put them closer to even playing fields?

Gimp just released Gimp 3.0.6

- This feature introduces a new toggle in the Brushes and Fonts dialogs to allow brush and font previews to optionally follow the color theme, an alpha channel for certain transforms and on filter merge, and improves Photoshop brush support.

- Gimp now shows an undo step for Lock Content, resizes images to layers irrespective of selections, fixes Alpha to Selection on single layers with no transparency, and fills the mask with complete opacity instead of a completely transparent layer when creating a layer mask from the layer’s alpha and the layer has no alpha.

- The Text tool has been updated

- The Foreground Selection tool no longer creates a selection when no strokes are made.

- GIMP 3.0.6 improves importing of JPEG 2000, TIFF, DDS, SVG, PSP, ICNS, DICOM, WBMP, Farbfeld, XWD, and ILBM image formats, as well as exporting of the FITS image format.

- This release improves the sensitivity of filter actions to make sure they are set insensitive when relevant, especially for filters that can’t be run non-destructively

When I took a year of graphic design classes Inkscape was mentioned.
I think adobe being considered "the industry standard" is why it has no competition.

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 dont believe i said he was wrong about the tex avery stuff only that the things i was analyzing shot off it and took its own form.

I dont know how im putting on a show of superiority though
>nah im right
Okay maybe, but before that. Any authority i think i have is because i was researching on what cultures are and how buisnesses make a small culture to sell their products. Yeah, im not a college fucking professor, but engage with the toughts provided man.
I think any air of authority you saw i was giving was a projection from your own insecurity. In all do respect. 90% pf whats said is how you say it, and the internet has stripped away tone. Youre reading what i said with the voice in your head, not the voice i use.

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.
>>
>>462363
Looking 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.

>Just just do whatever

It 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.

designers are only like this for their first couple of years, when they actually think what they do matters

after many years, you realize you just want to finish each project as soon as possible, and get paid.

>I want this horrible png/gif added to the website/flyer/design
>here you go bro, knock yourself out

they're happy, I'm happy, and I get ready for the next project. huge chances they dislike it in the near future, and they're going to pay me to change it again

>>462339
yeah i thought the latter attitude would be the default especially in the age of AI slops. the attitude some maintain comes off as extremely pretentious and borderline insulting if they don't even want to consider my input (they brand owner and one paying for the work their doing).

if I was building a house I would definitely want the designer to listen to my input, not sure why this is somehow different to some redditfags

What;s the math between, this post and a 600k traffic insta/da/pixiv whatever. Like, you 'd be in genre, and then, what. What's kind of definition of quality, spell success, or actually, calculation, so, to abstract it and give better clarity of how things are measured, in micro, since we're talking of...hundred thousands.

I love windows aero, it's a great design aesthetic, and I would love to see it make a comeback of some sort. It's outdated, sure, but a modernized version of windows aero would really feel so much better than the flat minimalism we've had for so long. What do you think?
>>
mod your system or cope. design never rolls back. it only ever gets reinspired. windows aero doesnt really have anything to do with whatever the fuck sort of korean exaggeration frutiger aero is.
