Modern Adobe sucks so much fucking dick. Half the UI is now AI bullshit no actual designer is going to touch. Premiere and Media Encoder now use some bullshit Adobe Desktop Audio service which fails half the time so audio is broken and missing on render unless ADA is running. Every program runs like total shit.
I have replaced Illustrator and Photoshop with Affinity, Premiere with Kdenlive. Audition with Reaper. The only 2 things I can't get away from is After Effects and Media Encoder, and if I can't run the latest versions without ruining audio rendering, I'm going to get a cracked version and be done with Adobe. Fucking disgusting that Canva owns Affinity now, but modern Adobe is trying to be much worse and anti-designer than the service that attempted to replace designers with the social media girl. Fuck all this gay homo Adobe bullshit.

Pixelmator Pro is a very good Photoshop alternative, it's gotten better with every release and Apple recently bought them out, Final Cut Pro X is excellent for editing, 90 day free trial, one time purchase no subscription nonsense. There's also DaVinci Resolve and Fusion if you're okay with a node based interface.

Is not just Adobe, a lot of things have gotten worse 4ch itself for example, and pirating stuff is skyrocketing because everything has subscriptions also vimeo just got adquired 4 days ago and is probably going down too

The designers who you say aren't going to touch the AI buttons are going to just end up running circles around you in 2-3 years if you keep up this attitude.

from a /graphic design/ perspective which design for EnviroKidz Gorilla Munch do you guys prefer? me personally i like the typography of the middle one but as far as the actual monkey i can't decide who i like the best
>>
>>461057
Left one
>>
Left one looks too much like a book cover and the one on the right looks too artificial. Middle one has soul but it would look better with a more jungle-y font
>>
in terms of design the right one. But the old gorilla art is too iconic rly
>>
Right one with the left graphic would be best
>>
>>461057
the words are confusing
- you lose the Nature's Path Organic logo in the first box
- same logo gets changed on the third box
You'd have to get clearance on what's acceptable usage for both "Nature's Path Organic" and "Envirokids"
- the Envirokids works good on the first box
also
is it "corn puffs gorilla munch" or "gorilla much corn puffs"?

okay, so you all know zenvetti that i made and posted before, now here is something new, with different approach, this time, it's "TERAVETTO" it's the same thing, a car brand based on bugatti, but since it's fictional and the idea is that this car brand logo is an extreme version of bugatti, and at the same time, it doesn't copy it, i tried to make this logo close to what might be called a game vibe, or whimsical, or over-the top, something that you might see in games like fortnite, valorant, overwatch, but as a car brand, cuz this is the approach the game im making is taking, and since it's an Extreme version, then this came out, give me your honest brutalist opinion on this (btw, i used purple, as something different, for luxury and exclusivity, the idea before was supposed to be black and white, but since it's supposed to give vibrant vibe, i gave it a color, it's purple)

btw, don't mind the monograms at left, just some concepts for the name and tried to give them the same style as bugatti's EB.

why would you try to make every individual element pop? the huge dots, the fat-ass borders...

I have a document that i need someone to copy exactly but just change the date to this year. It can’t look like the same exact document but it needs to look like they rescanned it in(aka same logo same font but not just changing the 4 to a 5) I’ll compensate you $100. Thanks guys

Metadata would tattle on you.
Pro's could see photoshop edits from a mile away.
Word of advice, be sure to use the original computer and program. Then set the clock to the original day (or a few days before that way it's an "early draft") if you really want your copy to be untraceable.
>>460916
You can use rotate ya know. Also be sure to print then scan the text with the same brand of printer for the right artifacts. Otherwise the grain mesh of the paper wont match the new text.

The best tactic is to just edit then have the other party sign the addendum next time.

>Metadata would tattle on you.
>Pro's could see photoshop edits from a mile away.
recreate the entire document digitally (not scan), make edits, print, and scan again. that way theres no metadata or noise patterns that would tattle.
maybe those yellow dots the printer overlays could reveal some info, but scanning in monochrome should bypass that.

I have 25,000 images like pic related. Old timey engraved images. I found them in old books from Internet Archive before it went belly up. I cleaned them, vectorized them, converted them to backgroundless PNGs. Where can I sell them? I'm trying to get 250 - 300 USofA dollarinos a month. Etsy? What image service should use? Do they even exist anymore?

Also, you have a freebie in pic related.

Gimp 3.0 is stunning

Users now have access to non-destructive layers, more extensive support for RGB color spaces, and dozens of improvements.

But we are just getting started. Gimp 3.1.4 development version was recently released.

https://www.gimp.org/news/2025/09/01/gimp-3-1-4-released/#text-tool

(Note that a development release is not ready for production use. It might crash. If it didn’t have problems it would be 3.2 already)

Before the end of the year, GIMP 3.2 will be officially released. It will include vector lawyers, significantly better text support, and many interface improvements.

Gimp is about to punch Adobe in the face
>>
Before 2026, Gimp 3.2 will be released.

We in the community are working hard to make it better. You will be shocked by what Gimp is now capable of doing. Stay tuned.

what's the name of this design? how does one achieve the composition and the colors in illustrator? is it even in illustrator since it's made in early 1900s.

You could have a foreground shape on top to retain the hardness.
>>
>>459529
I count at least 15 defects in that section alone. The issue is consistency, you must be consistent in your technique or every element looks like garbage.

For example you can use a hard outline against gradient blocks to preserve your hard corners, that's valid, but if you do that you have to do it everywhere and not mesh other gradients.
If you mesh gradients and lose your hard internal edges, you have to loose them more or less everywhere, the shadow under the chin is meshed but the one above the lip is not, so both look like trash.

If your image has one point shadow (this one does), you can't then back-shaddow to achieve a gradient. So in this image the nostril shadow is consistent with the one point shadowing of the chin and the image overall; but the backs hadow from behind the nose seems to come from nowhere and be cast in no drection. Shadows are always cast, they are not the "color" of the skin area.

And it may seem like I'm being picky; but that's what this style and design is, that's what separates an artists work from AIslop, it's the consistency of technique. There is no right or wrong way to vector, but there are styles, and AI generates civually so just uses a total slop of styles, it just uses the best visual match, it doesn't know how to interpret images the "wrong" way so as to preserve the overall style of a work.

I make this point often, to clients, in defence of hand drawn work of many styles. Mixed technique is a dead give away of AI rendering and it looks both sloppy and generates progressively weaker assets. When you accept these errors, you accept a cascade of errors, and AI just eats it's own stylistic errors over and over until you get the classic degenerate art form we all associate with globohomo.

I'm hardly a master of vector art, but that's the underlying reason it should be respected and why it is used in virtually all commercial contexts
