ok, someone explain to me how the fuck pantone Coated Vs Uncoated is SUPPOSED to work.anyone whos messed about with pantones knows that youre supposed to use C swatches for coated paper, and U for Uncoated paperbut colors NEVER translate across, 1235C looks nothing like 1235Uso what the hell do i do if a clients brand guide only has C swatches?what do i do if I need to print on the opposite type of surface from whatever swatch i have??shits garbage
>>462465For exmple 185-C is closer to 186-U than 185-UYes they don't look alike because U will neve be as bright as C
>>462467Tis exactly my problem.No client (or even project manager) will ever understand that, and they DO get mad about it.
>>462465>bullshit system doesn't work.It works just fine if you follow basic common sense protocols like having the printer provide a final proof of the actual ink color on the actual stock, that the client can then approve and sign off on.Of course that can create added expense, but that's the cost of high precision/ nitpicking. If the client balks at the time/expense/hassle and says it's not that important then put *that* in writing and have them sign off on that, or politely decline the job if you think they are lying.If the printer balks at creating/providing accurate proofs then they're the wrong printer for that job/client.All of this is literally why the Pantone system exists as a color matching standard, it doesn't work without people who understand how to use it.>So what the hell do i do if a clients brand guide only has C swatches?Tell him "it doesn't work without people who understand how to use it"
>>462479Then buy the Pantone shader and show them the actual thing or at least try to explain to them that it is how it is
Someone explain "Pantone+ Color Bridge" to me.The swatches tagged "CP" and "UP"If I use those and send them to a vendor is that a real Pantone? ?l what makes them different from the standard C/U books?Even worse Pantone + CMYK Coated/Uncoated.The ones formatted "P 118-8 C". For example?Are those actual Pantone swatches? Or is it just some roundabout way of listing CMYKs?

hello, just trying to get better at graphic design. i've read "basic principles of design" by maier and "grid systems" by muller-brockmann. i still struggle to figure out how other designers make and use complex grids for their work. does anyone have any resources or advice for this?also, i primarily use illustrator and indesign (for long form text) atm. does anyone use photoshop for their designs and if so, why and what do u use it for? do u have any concerns about quality of print?pic related
>>462806>resources or advice for this?The best way to learn is with courses from domestika/lynda/skillshare, especially the ones that have project files, from there you can dissect the files and go layer by layer inspecting and messing with everything, also a lot of schools make you recreate artworks you find inspiring from scratch you learn a lot from that, and some studios have websites where you can learn the most important part which is the case study, meaning a breakdown in writing and step by step, of what the brief was, the problems, the process and solution. Once you do some case studies you'll be able to communicate more clearly your design decisions and convince people of your expertise, which is a big part of graphic design.A cheaper or free alternative is on gumroad you can find freebies for layouts and useful things for learning design fundamentals.>does anyone use photoshop for their designs and if so, why and what do u use it for?Photoshop is the standard for posters, the main reason is you can work really fast, you can create custom grids like nothing else, and is the best for doing anything with photography or bitmap elements, though I prefer illustrator, and indesign if there's multiple pages.Also watch:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzarZJXEDmI
desu, i think the designs on domestika and skillshare are garbage but i'll check gumroad out. case studies are a good suggestion. thank u.ty for the photoshop answer as well, clears up the questions i had about it. i used to be photoshop-pilled but heard a lot of people talk about raster stuff and got concerned.

In case you weren't aware, submissions are open for a little under 3 more days for this logo design contest! (2 days, 23 hours from this post, more or less.) Once all the designs are in, ranked-choice vote decides the main graphical element for the next 4chan inter-board CPU soccer cup!(Yes this is the 2023 Autumn design; it's coincidentally being hosted by /co/ again, so cartoon and comic inspired designs are not necessary, but will probably do well. That and 2024 Autumn was hosted by the pony board and I don't wanna risk breaking containment.)Per the organizer: you must supply a high-res PNG file (5000x5000 limit) and the original multi-layer source file. Additionally, you must supply a "qualifiers" version/variant as well as the main logo. Submissions should be sent to his Gmail account, which can be found on the wiki proper. Asset links below!https://implyingrigged.info/wiki/File:4cc-cloverleaf-logo.pnghttps://implyingrigged.info/wiki/File:4cc-cloverleaf-logo.svghttps://implyingrigged.info/Traditional_Clover_Ball.aihttps://implyingrigged.info/Traditional_Clover_Ball.pnghttps://implyingrigged.info/Traditional_Clover_Ball.svgHEY ALSO: /gd/ does in fact have its own team, and we're up again for "proof of interest" to demonstrate if the users of the board wanna compete or not. Do we?
time to complain about bad typesetting in your douj because we're about to play /h/ right now!!!
Well, it's down to this: we're hoping on a miracle against the horses with personalized logos on their asses, and a tie isn't enough. Game setup is now, kickoff shortly.(If this is the end of the cup for us, I'm considering bowing out. The team deserves a real manager, with tactics and new Kernings to enjoy. Even if I say keeping the lights on is "better than nothing" that might not actually be true. It's up to you: carry on, or hibernate again?)
...well, we got at least one more game next weekend and an Elite in 3 months, so put a pin in that until after Winter I guess!
The free sample isn't enough anymore, pirate the full typeface because we need those hiragana characters: It's /jp/ time!
Well damn that was an ass-whoopin'. Still, for an autopilot, we stole a promotion! And we avoid a new worst loss AND worst loss of the day... I guess. GGs /jp/.Thanks to staff for Kernanyo; I still really can't commit to give the team the love it deserves (at least alone...) but I promise to continue providing life support at least long enough for Winter.
AFFINITY IS FUCKING DEAD. It's a zombie propped up by corporate PR bullshit and if you're still defending it, you are a literal, medically diagnosable retard.`>SOLD OUT TO FUCKING CANVA``>THE APP FOR INSTAGRAM INFLUENCERS AND HR DEPARTMENTS MAKING FLYERS FOR THE COMPANY POTLUCK``>CEO "promises" they won't force a subscription on us.``>OH YEAH? FOR HOW LONG? UNTIL V3?``>WE ALL KNOW WHAT'S COMING: A SLOW, PAINFUL TRANSITION INTO A BROWSER-BASED, SUBSCRIPTION-ONLY, AI-SLOP-GENERATING PIECE OF SHIT.`They were the CHOSEN ONE. They were supposed to be the one company that wasn't trying to ram a subscription fee up our ass every single month until we die. The one place you could actually OWN your goddamn tools.But no. They took the money. They bent the knee to the same corporate logic that created the Adobe monopoly in the first place. All that "for the creatives" talk was just marketing.Enjoy your "magic AI logo generator" that shits out the same 5 generic logos. Enjoy the forced cloud integration that holds your own files hostage.Im going back to the high seas, anons. There's no escaping it now. I paid for affinity but if they keep doing this shit im outta here.
>>462374Oktober 30th will tell.
>>462374posts that aged like shit award
>>462728did it? they changed the logo and are now using it as a user data harvesting platform giving it out for "free" in a sketchy promise to the investors that it will train neural network agents that will eventually replace graphic designers and generate enormous amount of profit somehow.sounds very reliable thing to base my projects on long term.

but I'm still stuck at creating curved edges for isometric. is there any simplified tutorial for that or the perfect example of it?
So im new to the board, and ill cut to the point, I've been trying to grow as a nsfw artists, i started a little bit before ai started. Sometimes I don't feel motivated to draw, and i accept requests from ppl to expand, and I don't really care what I draw, as long as I can take it as a challenge, with a limit of drawing rape, gore, ect. But I've accepted drawing futa, trap, and loli, but I've been feeling like drawing loli might be a arrow to the knee in my reputation, the worst part is that it was the most popular illustration i did by the amount of likes.I know that it's fictional character and there are a lot of popular nsfw artists who just draw stuff like that on the side and just never get shit for it. What is your opinion on this guys
You should go to the /ic board. This is for design, typography, layout etc.
>>459690AI can only copy someones style to a mediocre degree at best. You can still be better if you continue to evolve as an artist and refine your craft, maybe even use AI in limited doses to get through some backgrounds etc. I wouldn't give up but there is a need to adapt to the new market. I think you should start with understanding your target customer base and work backwards. Personally I wouldn't be so eager that I jump into doing loli shit just to make a buck lol to turn this into a proper income you gotta take your time boy and get known. Or if you like to live dangerously you can pull a shadman and ride the controversy.
shadbase pull lol
Map = pedophileLoli = child pornographyJust don't do it for your own sake. If you're debating it, you probably think it's wrong. Nobody's forcing you to do it and nsfw artists still earn a lot either way.

Guys i've just made an account on Upwork and getting my first client is way harder than i though it'd be. I can make really good YouTube Thumbnail, Book Covers, and other Graphic Design related stuff.But selling it while competing with other freelancers on Upwork who have done way more jobs than me is really challenging.Also on reddit with my (very first) new account i can't connect with other people to alteast promote my work.Do you guys have any advice for me? I really need money, i've been unemployed for a year now.I'll add some of my thumbnails here
>>462556
>>462556First always make sure to use an online grammar tool like: https://quillbot.com/grammar-checkAlso you sound desperate, you get hired by being confident, consistent, reliable and by helping others, joining communities and making connections, 4chan is the opposite of that. Your thumbnails are too generic and outdated, just do what everyone else does and study/copy everything from these channels: MrBeast, Sidemen, RyanTrahan, Veritasium, Johnny Harris and MarkRober>https://thumbnails101.com/inspirationOnce you have better work, you need a strategy and start marketing yourself, since you probably are clueless about that, just copy what other are doing, here's a basic example of what you should have in different formats, short for social media and large for emails etc. example https://sharetext.io/9fd0b3c10- A professional selfie1- A short sentence about you2- Link to previous works with social proof of how you solved creative problems with the results3- Your services or the packages you offer4- Deliverables and timelineComment too long.

How can I fulfill my FLIR fetish? Asking here instead of /r/ because they couldnt answer this. I have a fetish for FLIR images plus women or stuff I find hot, but I like the additional layer. How can I make pics like this? AI can do it but not commercial AI accepts material that\s explicit or even lightly suggestive, defeating the point. Do I do this in photoshop? Do I use AI?
>>460863>https://vk.com/topic-178186634_39330245?offset=2080https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0w8sWtH2XpElook for heat gradients or thermal tutorials for photoshop
>>460863>I have a fetish for FLIR images plus women or stuff I find hotThis is so specific that i'm willing to believe this is not a joke.What is this, how did you acquire such a fetish?I'm truly confused.
>>460863There are relatively affordable handheld FLIR cameras on aliexpress (40-100$), photoshop can do some decent gradients but it wont actually be a 1:1 of what actual thermal imaging looks like. You can get the cam and just do stills of whatever you want.
You sick fuck
How would you apply a glitch effect like this to text and images?Glitch effects like this are (and I am trying to achieve) seemingly random, asymmetrical, etc. Is there particularly techniques or tools to do something like this, or is it just a pain in the ass "do each bit one by one" sort of deal?Ultimately I don't want something as extreme as this, something much more minor (just for a single line of text really) so my first thought as a retard is to just go in to paint and shift a few lines of pixels left or right
Displacement maps. Also if you can ask here, you can use google to get a much more refined answer by just searching "glitch effect how to in (whatever program)"Im assuming youre a zoomer and dont know google exists, in which case, die
>>462551There's different types, the best ones are made for posters or titles from scratch by experimenting with typography and even programming or drawings, example:https://vimeo.com/118998266The ones you posted are kinda generic, if you want to learn just download premade from psdkeys or creativemarket and dissect them either on photoshop or aftereffects, for Ae you can stack all crazy effects and animate them pretty easily.
