you are not a unicorn for knowing how to write as a designer in the field of visual communication.
>>
>>464519
This.
Also, people lie about their experience. Lot of people who've touched a software once will claim expertise in it. Same shit happens with programming, which is why companies require takehome tests, or god forbid, leetcode bs.

lol bro, i get your gist, but trust me - people cant fucking write.
also "visual communication"
lol not writing

In my experience it is a good free substitute for Photoshop. Much better than gimp and works more similarly to Photoshop. However, I'm an amateur at graphic design so my designs are mostly for memes. I know Krita doesn't share the latest additions to Photoshop's features, but what do you think of its potential for actual work? Here is my Evil Libertarian design as well.

fuck off with your libertarian bullshit
krita is for drawing, you dumb cunt, not for replacing photoshop, you dumb cunt.

you are out of your depth

Photopea is a good free alternative to photoshop.

Just use affinity, powerful as photoshop, now free since canva bought it (it's not like canva since many people mistake this) you can do the same stuff and it's even cooler
>>
>>464473
Seconding this anon >>464478
Who told you krita was a PS replacement? It's for illustration. Specifically drawing, as in drawing with a tablet. Has some timeline features for animation too, but they're pretty junk.

I've developed a high-end operating system concept inspired by Vista. What are your thoughts?

This is not an operating system, it's a desktop. If you want some actually good (but also a lot of bad) desktop designs, check the desktop threads on /g/

Is there a command line interface to this OS?

Personally, I like it as I'm partial to the nostalgia >>463601 references.

As for this though, I think it needs additional colors.

"menu" text could be updated, if you want to keep the full word, you need to tweak the typeface, try DIN or something like that maybe? I would go with an icon though instead. Good chance for you to make your own logo.

Blur the lines on the background quite a bit and add washed out colors (high level of transparency). You'll still see the 'wavy' effect but it'll look a more interesting and will offset the hard grey color of the taskbar etc.

Apple, Windows, Ubuntu, all do this.

what is the best alternative to Pinterest for designers?
>>
are.na but the concept is far from pinterest
>>
>>464365
pinterest is the best unfortunately. i use binternet.canine.tools as a frontend for pinterest though so i dont have to deal with the annoying stuff
>>
>>464368
are.na works very well. I might pay for it in the future, but for now I plan on deleting my thing once I fill up on connections.

who the hell designed the 4chan banners, they are so simple yet so fun

Back when I was in my freshman year of college my school handed out free adobe accounts as a part of some sort of new educational project
Basically any student who was a graphic design/art major got a free plan
It was a way to get more students into the programs
For the past 2 years since graduating I have had access to it
When I first found out I still had access to my account after graduating I was confused but when I checked my subscription it said I had 5 years left
No problem for me then
Fast forward to last night and suddenly lost complete access
Luckily my files are backed up but now I have no access to Adobe
So how do I pirate the software
I heard something called GenP works
What’s the best place to look
But I heard if you had a subscription you can do it directly from your computer files
>>
>>463840
I understanding wanting to pirate to save a little money, and especially for privacy purposes. But if you're two years out of college, majored in anything to do with art or multimedia, $70/mo should not be considered a crippling expense or unworthy investment.
If you do crack it, props to you. But if you can't, don't throw away your skills and education over not wanting to pay that.
>>
>>464078
this, actually. pirating it just becomes such a pain after a bit.

Good, i like the style, but the dog seems really innocent for this style, i suggest you make a poster with it. And of course this is not a logo (too complex, use text instead, not everywhere)

How many places do graphic designers have to make their typography work with 4 writing systems combined into one written language? and have a sustainable creative economy?
>>
They’re not good with western typography. They overdo it with the minimal at times. When you figure it out you see it often. Otherwise they’re really good generally speaking. I link it to the spirituality and modesty they have. Good at encapsulating a vibe.

They have an inherent understanding of typography.
