how do i create such designs? i love them, the ones in mde and extreme peace, they are so fucking cool
>>460958>Emigre is actually good and the og shit, not basic in anyway. Sam just copied egregiously from it, but you can cope awayemigre been bit so many times already that it feels normal when people are overt about biting it.the transitional video stuff on world peace looked really good i thought, but that was less emigre and more just dumping AE effects on clips and dumping the dr bronners random text shit everywhere. I don't think sam did any of that shit though
>>460697The only post-processing I see is that the framerate is super low and it looks like it was exported with a lower than normal quantity of colors and pattern dithering to make up for that.
>>461049the fuck software is this?
Your main software stack is After Effects and Cinema 4D. Hyde has been using these for 20 years.Hyde was an illustrator first, not necessarily a designer. You used to be able to find bits and pieces on his deviantArt but he has since deleted it and I'm unaware of any archives. Some early MDE stuff features his illustrations along with their book, How To Bomb.Konzept (the one who led graphics and art direction since 2022ish for shows like Happy World Daddy, Ecstasy of Car, and Extreme Peace) also studied illustration as mentioned here >>460979It's important that this is mentioned because it explains their skill and craft. They learned the basics of design from an illustrator-first perspective.Hyde recommends reading Manfred Meier's "Basic Principles of Design" and practicing the exercises as if you're taking a legitimate course. You can find scans on Anna's Archive, as physical copies now cost $800+ USD.Genuinely study design. You need to know how to make the skeleton function before making things "look good". People usually default to slapping a lot of texture stuff over their designs because they subconsciously know that it's not good enough. They're missing something essential under neath and they're trying to cover it up. Avoid this at all costs.Hyde pulled from all sorts of places when it came to designing for MDE. Emigre #58 was mentioned here and they're right. World Peace's second episode is pretty much Emigre 58. Hyde doesn't care about making things that are original, but rather things that look good.A lot of the stuff in Happy World Daddy (the later half when Konzept took over art direction) had specific themes per episode. Konzept took from medical charts, diagrams, old web pop-up ads, product brochures, shit like that. WP2/EP was pretty weak in terms of art direction.
>>464484 (cont.)Picking apart what OP posted >>460697This is a interstitial from Extreme Peace episode 1. The main 3D title in the blocky-sans-serif font was most-likely done in C4D, along with the titles scrolling on the top and bottom of the screen in blue.The main text in the serif font is just keyframed to be squashed and stretched with an echo effect behind it in AE.The Chinese characters in the back were likely captured on a legitimate CRT display, maybe along with the rest of the elements.The serif text has a harsh drop shadow and some beveling(?) to make it look like early 3D text. I believe it's all 2D.I attached an earlier version of the graphic. You can see what's going on under the hood a bit better.
Post color palettes.
>>460530>>460531Depends on the project doesn't it?
>>460530not quite a palette but I made my own color wheeldo you think the names fit well?
I made like a inspo board kinda thing ages back. First column was from motorsport liveries, second was taken from logos and brand packaging, fourth column was sport teams patches. I think the third column was stuff I grabbed from the Redline anime cause I love the aesthetic of that but I'm not sure.I don't really use it anything other than the occasional idea board.Any of you guys got some tools, tricks, rules, etc. you use to come up with your palettes?
>mfw adobe color trends is gonefuck. i did a small scrape of it a few months ago and was coming back to scrape the rest and the faggots just pulled the entire thingwhat a fucking waste

Guys, I urgently need help. I have to finish restoring/reconstructing this photo by 8:00 PM Polish time today. I've already managed to do part of the work, but I still have a lot of other assignments that I need to submit to my professor tomorrow, and I don't think I'll be able to get everything done in time. The work should be in the psb file. Can someone help? I beg you.Here is a link to the file in Google Drivehttps://drive.google.com/file/d/1COI3KJOlDpImG_rcmv7pSSTSsFQQomZS/view?usp=drivesdk
>>464410Sorry, I just noticed the description now.
>>464410shut the fuck pansy ass bitch do your fucking homeworknice assignment. good teacher
>>464410Man, I am so fucking glad I'm not studying for a degree in GD right now.Still an incredibly useful skill. Proficiency across the adobe suite is still an "I can find a halfway decent job anywhere" situation.But the years it took to master this shit, starting right now, the tools will all be completely different by the time you're done. We're already hitting a point where GD work gets done by any rando at the office with free time with AI, then it gets sent to whoever knows how to use Adobe applications to fix minor text shit as a final 10% situation.
>>464410You need to give him the PSB file right, no final jpg.
LMAO fuck this god damn board. I thought this was today but it's 5 days ago lmaooTell your old ass teacher you don't need these monkey skills and gemini can do it faster and better

Are you all ready for what's coming?
>>464417always
what’s coming
gonna post a bunch of pictures cause i wonder if this gets the message across enough for somebody on fiver or my local trades market can whip something together on the cheap end..prob gonna be 6 pictures with texts, all i wanna know is: will my retarded microsoft paint drawings do the trix?
>>464186half cantilevered stairs so it can double as a place for pictures, miscellaneous items and plants, all while looking more open than the other choices available.
>>464186stairs pushed away as to show toilet wall.
>>464186"void" is technical room, it's insulated and accessible from the outside trough a 160cm maintenance door, it contains water heater, steam shower "cooker", and jet pumps for bath, id also place the outside part of an heat pump there.
>>464190oh and bedroom over bathroom got a pocket door, the main door to bathroom covers toilet stall once opened, so it's a romance saver.. never know when partner decides "this is a nice time to brush my teeth", and then enter as you're on the throne of despair.
I like your taste OP
Anyone got a log-in or know how to download high res for free please? Thanks in advance. Pic unrelated.
>>464340numbers arent god dumb ass. leonardo was wrong and you are wrong.
>>464382Doesn't work.
>>464305Not sure which feature you're using, but it doesn't sound like proper upscaling. Use the upscaler in PS if you have access to it. You can upscale with local models as well, but if you're struggling on this, you're not ready for that.Point is, upscaling will not garble up text. Sounds like whatever you're using is regenerating an image based on an image, not upscaling.Upscaling is a process that scales up your exact image, and using AI smoothens out the lossy areas.
>>464305>Same anon as >>464400Notice in the upscaled (4x) image of yours that I posted. There's no damage done to the text on her shirt.
>>464283the only option is to download a low resolution version of the image you want with some of those websites that remove watermarks and then upload it to an image search engine so you can find a high resolution version that some random website uploaded for free. it works most of the time
Tried following the advice of adding movement lines to make a drawing feel more "alive" and it... Kind of works? I guess?Maybe i should try making something actually serious now
>>464391Where do i post it then. Didn't find another appropriate board
>>464390are you a cheap cartoonist? or a fucking artist?
>>464396>Maybe i should try making something actually serious nowprobably neither(?)
>>464392>>>/ic/
>>464397here i will give you a small but of advicenotice all the extra lines around the eyes. you dont need "movement wiggles" you need details, depth, volume. contour, thats what 'overdrawing' can begin to help you develop
This is the label design for Peter Stormare's vodka, what would you do differently ?
>>462889actually its an ok bottle shape. lose the wax. fucks withthe proportions. label is good awful, font is shit. go apothocary with annotations style til some other idea happens.
>>464122*god awful
>>462889Font is a tame Korova Milk bar. Doesnt meat it is bad but better question is why. Also if it is custom, why be lazy and make both Rs the same? We are hip and kool but just corpo enough to cut an paste an R.Who is stormare? The maker the flavor? Who is granskott? Also the maker?
>>462889This is what Russians drink the most after that: Russian Standard and Stoli.Designer bottles are fake and gay; just give me your extra money.
>>462889Not terrible, just generic. Makes me think of the canvaslop thread I saw on here the other day (>>463545), which I think is an apt term.Also, note that the M has a dangling nutsack.
I feel like I’ve wasted 15 years of my life, and my career has led me nowhere. At 35, I should be at my peak in terms of earnings and health, yet I’m a nobody. I keep ending up in shitty companies where I’m expected to do everything while getting paid less than gate keeper. For the past 10 years, I’ve designed websites, logos, mobile apps, print materials, books, t-shirt prints, labels, packaging, product photography, social media content, 3D designs, modeling, animation, and simulations. If I had focused on one thing from the start, I’d be an expert in a specific field by now and making decent money. Unfortunately, the harsh truth is this: if you are able to do anything that means you are good at nothing. When there are job listings for simple graphic work, they don’t want someone with 5+ years of experience. If they do want someone with 5 years of experience, they expect an expert in one particular niche. Today, no one even wants to spit in my direction. No one is looking for a 35-year-old guy who has done everything (but nothing specific) because they have 100 young, dynamic grads fresh out of college to choose from. The competition in the big city is just too strong. For the past 5 years, I’ve been working from home part-time, and somehow manage to pay the rent. The MS diagnosis broke me. Depression, no friends, far from family, always making excuses. If it weren’t for my wife earning well and help from my in-laws, I’d have nothing. It feels like everyone around me is doing fine, earning well, and building great careers - except me. I’m feeling down, I’m sick of this fucking city and its weather. I just needed to get this off my chest.
>>463610Sounds great since photography is dead too. Wish I could get a job that isn't Uber which I can't do because I can't afford a car.
>>459830>15 yearsoof ive been doing it for 8 and desu good results there's plenty of days where you feel like its a dead end and most days ... it is BUT like other anons are suggesting make your own work literally everyone has to these days
>>463772That's really not true. Most people just "go to work" and don't really do much and play WoW all day and then get paid. And the ones that don't just "go to work" and move bricks and shit and still get paid. Very little thought required.
>>459841why don't you make deals with the fae?
Hello /gd/ anonsI am sorry to find you in despair. I'm looking for artists and a trading card game I'm working on, and want to use people from here as much as possible.If there is anybody interested in work, I would be looking for things like>packaging designs>card frames>promotional material>logoI don't know how much these types of service would cost, but want to avoid using AI while using artists from here as much as possible. The art for the cards themselves I already have worked out for now using public domain traditional art, but if a kickstarter campaign is successful enough I intend on redoing the set 1 cards with custom art
Sorry if this is not the correct board, but it seems the most fit one for the matter.my question is, how do you analize an style? how do you put it in a certain category?I often see patterns, maybe geometric or color pattern that gives a game, a picture or whatever a certain vibe.for example, I know this picture style is known as frutiger aero. I can see the glossy stuf, the transparencies... I lived through it back in the 00's.I could see these things, but didn't knew it was called frutiger aero.
since you immediately came crashing in with this as a subject, frutiger aero is not a real style of the time, it is a contemporary piece of nostalgiain general art is always derivative, all art is using other people's references (or referencing the world) and other people's styles, taking what you like and filling in your own ideas into them. this means that there are certain movements, certain things people like to copy, certain novel combinations of ideas that people then copy, and this is what is studied and made into meaning "styles"the style you're talking about is one that was mostly made through the novelty of being able to apply humanist character to user interface design; before then, it was impractical to give user interfaces glossy icons and borders because rendering those in real-time was not feasible. when technology started allowing it, people flocked into the new grounds and often sort of overdid itthis is also why flat UIs later overtook, mobile phones and laptops brought in screens with massively different scaling factors, meaning that you'd have to create a bunch of copies of all your nicely-rendered glossy UI. in comparison, vector graphics had become performant enough and solved this issue by design, at the cost of being usually very flat. that push was mostly started by the excellent Matias Duarte who did design for Android at the time, designing Holo design, which then kicked off Apple to do the same. the interesting thing is that where Holo went into a more industrial grotesk design, Apple decided to keep their humanist ideas, and that's what won out in the end (Matias then pivoting to Material Design which was a humanist rendition of Holo's ideas)right now we live in pretty exciting times in UI land actually, where computers have become powerful enough to do arbitrary non-rectangular layouts, and the grip of humanist design has started fading drastically

My first pixel-art (scale 92 x 81 p), made in paint.Opinions?
did you trace it?
>>464047Better and more soul than 99.99999%
Good! I would reccomend finding some tips on getting the shading better. It might look bland, but you're on a good path
>>464047Looks nice, eyelashes could use a little work.Seems more of a thread for >>>/ic/ but this board can use all the traffic it can get...
