How to generate random color palettes? Visually cohesive and interesting ones, that is.

I am not talking about tools to do it. I want to code my own tool, and I'm looking for thoughts. How would you guys approach this?

Thanks.

you should look into how pywal works and if you use that you just need randomization https://github.com/dylanaraps/pywal
it uses ImageMagick but i dont know anything beyond that

It uses basic color theory. I'm sure you can improve it.

Thanks. After some fumbling around I found something that'll do for the start. I'll refine the process after the rest of the thing works.

>>455764
Appreciate it, I will take a look. At a glance, it comes up with some nice palettes.

For starters I went with a fancy way of color cycling. It doesn't cover as much of a range as the reference project I want to replace, but the results are visually pleasing and fairly diverse. It's good enough for the first iteration.

Yes it is. It's the tool I am replacing, because the pricing has got to be the worst among SaaS I've seen. Saving 10 palettes and 5 colors before having to shell out is a joke at best.

Im beginner designer and recently I got offer from "99designs". It seems off to me because there is no good reson for them to choose me for that project and there is no clear payment method from them. What do u think?

Gee, that must be why if you do a search for "generic logos" you get pages of links to articles warning against using them and teaching people how to spot and avoid them with titles like:

>Generic logos: how to spot and avoid them

>How To Spot & Avoid Generic Logos

>Generic Logos: How to Spot & Avoid Overused Design Concepts

>What is a generic logo? Avoiding overused logo designs

That discuss facts such as:

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.

The Tokyo olympics 2020 logo: soulless, doesn't even make any sense.

My AI "slop" version: beautiful, expert composition, a deep juxtaposition between tradition and technology and an athletic motif.

I think the only clip art worse than the X- Ray specs ads but it gets used anyway are the line art drawings on those cheap beware of dog/ guard dog on duty signs where they clearly just make a copy of another company's dog art that has also been similarly stolen for multiple generations until its just a dog shaped blob.

I’ve got a 300 page kink comic to remaster and I need to get the font sets just right to preserve the authors intent.

The one on the left is straight from the comic. The one on the right is Gill Sans MT, Size 26, all bolded, second half italicized. Written in MS Paint to mimic that crunchy feel.

It’s not a match, but it’s the closest I’ve found. How would I find matches to font samples? Especially if it’s crunchy in quality
>>
Take a screenshot of some text and run it through https://www.whatfontis.com/

If you cant find it there, try https://en.m.likefont.com/

If your text is too low resolution you can zoom in on it, screenshot, upload to vectorizer.ai, screenshot your cleaned up result and run that through those sites.
>>
>>455623
looks almost the same, you only need to make it bolder. no reason for ms paint, just make it in lower resolution in ps
>>
>>455686
Found it eventually via brute force.
It’s GillSans MT Professional Edition 2010 Heavyskin size 24 with light artifacting. Got it pixel perfect when aged just right.

Second question. Let’s say this work is black and white. Black is often used wholesale to represent brown, blue, and dark red. (Blood is solid black). I want to colorize some shit.
Only one problem. The black is the same black as the outlines. So any paint bucket or magic select fucks up everything. And my hands are too unsteady to create a new outline manually without it looking different
>>
>>455698
get someone else to help you with that teamwork makes the dream work after all thats what my goyslop tv show told me
>>
>>455698
Practice makes perfect with stroking lines and with 300 pages you'll have plenty of time to improve.
Assuming you're using Photoshop or Gimp you could also make a path along the lines and use the stroke path tool, or use a layer mask to hide the colorizing layers in the places you want to stay black.
Do you have a safe page or panel you could post for reference?

where did I say bauhaus having used the camera as a main medium?
I mentioned it emerging *in the context of the camera existing* (which had huge implications for society, philosophy, ultimately cosmology).
you know the whole story of how the camera played a major part in leading to the development of impressionism and expressionism, cubism, bauhaus, dadaism and so on, eh?

1904: Offset lithography was invented (taking off like 10 years later).
1907: silk screen screen printing came along.

of course there was more to it! but these are pretty relevant aspects.
(like ww1 having ended, pushing the socialdemocrats in central europe (cheaper living - see functionalism in architecture).
compare also to russian vkhutemas and constructivist architecture movement - pretty much the same thing)
>>
the bauhaus was utterly artistic and remains the foundation, after a century, of contemporary art practice and education.

so of course the bauhaus is doubly hated as both the utterly modern and radical and the stilted 'old'

Fits the target audience and "short attention span" tendencies of everyone on social media. I agree it's not following the universal mold of great design (whatever that is) but it has consistency going for it which is nice.
>>

no
its just looks like 'hey cute stickers'
cuz 'we're a fun company not a merciless corporation"

Which is exactly how it should be. Do you think that one of the biggest company in the world would release something so important without proper research before? Or do you expect them to be all Carbon Design System-y?

this looks good, actually
its a fun "here's a bilzillion options" way of doing it, jumbled up and fun/personal feeling
