How can I do FM or rather Hybrid raster screen setup? Is there any free tool or program to basically turn a grayscale image into 1bit black+white image?
Something bit more sophisticated/flexible than just exporting it as dithered two color gif in photoshop.

Any help would be welcome!

The optimism for the tech was because there were clear improvments from one piece of hardware to the next. There has been little leaps forward for the last half or so decade.
Aesthetics are large in part riding off of what the masses are feeling and many aren't feeling too optimistic about the future. Maybe things will change in a few months who knows, but an aesthetic will only catch on if it somehow captures what people are feeling.

Then you should know that at the current year of 2023 graphic design is pretty much dead. I was a professional gd for almost 10 years working in both studios and on my own and I can't really find a job anymore. It's not even because of AI to be honest, its because of how the industry works and how bad the corporate environment has become.

There's still web design, 3D and VFX/motion design(primarily 3D too) and if you want something similar or easy to transition then chose one of those but I'm not sure for how long they will be relevant themselves because of the AI which is basically a final nail in the coffin of gd. Of course there are and will be exceptions and maybe you will get lucky to find some obscure local business that needs you, but if you are young and looking for a career in the future you should stop consider becoming a graphic designer. This profession is dead.

You mean design thinking? That's what design is thoughbeit. Function first, aesthetic second. If you want to prioritize art, aesthetic, or emotion before functionality then you're an artist, not a designer.

How do you make really good architecture posters for your projects?

What are the basic and golden rules for architectural poster design and graphic design in general?

Also how to do post production on your renderings? And how to make good renderings?

Picrel is what google showed me when typing in architectural posters, kek.

there arent really arch 'posters' - thats not really a thing. of course everything being more or less digital, there are drawings, print outs, presentations, or boards.

a list of basic modelling sofware would be hard to find. same as rendering. go lurk the archinect forum.

also go dig up some classic mgazines, like el croquis. look up architects.

Hey! I hope everything is going great.
So long story short, I was starting my freelancing career 2 years ago as a graphic designer, which I loved. For some personal and familiar reasons I started working in something I hate and now I'm trying my best to start designing some beautiful stuff again. However, my mind is weak, I get distracted so easily and it feels ilike there is a fear of just creating something, like my shadow is fighting against this desire... Any advice would be much appreciated c:

looks aright, but not particularly polished, does it?

the person writing this post should get their shit together and either
1) refine projects until finished, or
2) sit down and learn more about how to design so that they know what a finished piece even looks like.

y'know... or don't do any of these.
what do you want to hear? in order to *do stuff* you gotta start *doing stuff*. you won't be finding the cure to your online addiction and laziness online, mate...

I've spent years doing UI, UX, and graphic design. I want to start building some web stuff myself, but I'm daunted by the steep learning curve. HTML and CSS come pretty easy, and I understand the fundamentals of flex. Jumping into this side of things isn't so bad.

But I'm daunted as shit by JS. Suffering through the initial Hello World tutorial sounds brutal, and even beyond JS, merely setting up and maintaining a workspace (vscode, the terminal, installing packages, git, etc.) looks painful.

Anybody know of a decent video course with a tolerable instructor and a focus on modern techniques (flex-centric, good JS framework)?

why not just find online tutorials like w3schools and start building projects yourself? easy to test them on localhost.
I write code into notepad this way and build sites, never used any program because I'm working on my own and don't need to use them

there's like a bunch of Udemy courses...here is one I started:

https://www.udemy.com/course/design-and-develop-a-killer-website-with-html5-and-css3

I was learning but I stopped because I just don't see any jobs for this where I live.
>>
>>456485

Yeah true I could just write code snippets locally and that'd get me halfway there without the frustration of JS or a "proper" workspace, because I'm mostly concerned with CSS at the moment.

But also I'm the sole product designer at a small company, and I'm starting to get frustrated at my frontend devs for doing a middle-of-the-road job no matter how thoughtful I am in Figma about flex containers, using columns/percentages for when the viewport scales down, even using 'object-fit: cover' to adjust image containers etc. it's like I have to spell it out so much.

To be fair, they're just junior and never built a scaled up iterative web site before. But if I'm going to be typing all this shit out in my Figma annotations, I might as well start doing some of it myself.

So the goal is to help by digging into the codebase myself (eventually), and to become more intelligent about writing classes for a type system, a set of padding values instead of just writing them every time. Even our classes for buttons, form fields, colors are kind of fucked up, and not perfect.

So that's why I want to learn the damn stuff, markup, JS and all.

Also, I feel like I could freelance on some good money with skills like these, once the fed lowers rates, and there are apes out there with venture capital who want to build a slick website. List my services at outrageous prices and see who bites. That's the dream anyway.

/g/ainfully employed anon here. before you learn javascript, get comfy with the terminal and git. you can use those tools to work on html+css projects without touching js. from there, you can use vscode if you want, but many people find editing files from the terminal more comfy.

once you've learned the basics of using the terminal, then do js. here's some things i wish i knew when i started:
>there are 2 kinds of javascript: client-side and server-side. client-side is what runs in your users' web browsers. server-side is what runs on the server that sends data to your users.
>client-side and server-side javascript work differently. when you google "how to do X in javascript," be sure to check that the result you clicked on works in the environment you're programming for.
>most server-side javascript projects run on nodejs, which is a special environment that adds extra features to javascript. not everything in node will be available in the browser.
>typescript adds some safety features to javascript, which protect you from common programming bugs. the trade-off is that you have to learn a more complex system. it's worth it if you're working on a large project with many people, or if you want a job.
>people will tell you to learn javascript frameworks (react, vue, svelte, etc.), but you don't need them for a personal project. if you want to learn a framework to get a job, learn react. the others are much less frequently used, and once you know one, picking up another isn't too bad.
>if you get sick of javascript (as many people do), you can write your server-side code in another language, like python or go. this is much nicer.
>if you really, really hate javascript, you can use a library like htmx and never write any javascript yourself.

basically, start slow, double-check what you find on google, and remember that there are alternatives.

how times change

Hi guys,
I'm doing case study design for a company presentation. Some of the studies are supposed to be Anonymous.

Is there a best practice at denoting that it is a real client without exposing their name? I've only really seen people use 'Client A' or 'Client in Media 1' etc.? No graphic icons/placeholders, just very general textual denotation.

I'm thinking of using some sort of related industry icon, or the anonymous glasses icon, or a company icon, or a case study folder icon with text i.e. [icon] + 'American client in X [industry]'. I'm thinking the specific industry icon would be the best to use but maybe there are best practices I'm missing here.

Any experience or am I overthinking things?
>>
>>456460
>I overthinking things?
Yes. All that case study stuff is useless. There are no industry standards because there is no conclusive research on any of this shit. Literally social science nonsense.
