What do you anons think about the affinity designer program.Tbh im so frustrated with Adobe, can't make myself pay 20$ per month to use their broken fresco photoshop app for the tablet.If anyone has any experience with the affinity program on pc or tablet, I'd appreciate your insight
>>461062tablet generals are usually at /ic/ also a lot of people use either procreate or krita (free)
I used Affinity as a Illustrator replacement on desktop. Affinity is fine. The only thing to note is the brushes are not vector: they are raster. It has no pathtracing or parametric effects like blends either.
I don't know about Designer...I think Affinity Photo and the whole suite is awesome and fun to use. I learned Photoshop in high school about 3 years ago and 2 days ago downloaded Affinity Photo and fell love instantly.I never liked using the Photoshop app in school and but I love opening Affinity photo and playing with it. It is simple but super fun. Also the App in my Mac feels super responsive and fast. No problem with crushing or stuff...The one time payment of Affinity beats Adobe in my mind.
give constructive criticism
>>461194That's clever once you focus on it anon
>>461217what does "focus" on it mean? put more effort? focus on refining the idea?
>>461194It's not terrible and the ideas from the book it conveys are clear enough...my only critique would be that it might be better with more attention given to balance ie the type sizes could be larger, the 1984 offset to the right doesn't match the rest of the poster that is overpowered by the symmetry of the searchlight beam, even as the type there is offset to the left.I'd consider skewing the light beam slightly to make its form less stable and rigid, in keeping with the unsettling, sweeping vibe of authoritarian searchlights scanning for dissenters.I'd personally also try making the 8 the searchlight source, how the beam interacts with the lower part of the 9 is not helpful IMO. If you slid the 1984 over and made the lower loop the light source it would be cleaner and the top loop would also suggest a watching eye.I might also play with the lines that appear to simulate a block of print, you could probably make them larger and fewer and keep the effect with better balance and legibility, maybe experiment with making the letters illuminated by the beam pure white too.
I started with graphic design on 2020 on and off. I am not a professional, I have never seen a single video or tutorial about graphic design. I made this with photoshop. I plan to work at low level companies full time, for an extra 30k a year, since my job in finance works overnight.
>>459671Also those gradients are awful, colorings also. As other anons said, go learn more cause with current state, I wouldn't want to work with you
>>459671are you dunking on us with your Balance?
pretty sure i saw a roblox game with this exact UI back in like 2014
it looks like a roblox game, not proportional enough, if you really want to make it happen, please invest your time in learning about UI/UX designing first, i suggest to use figma and watch sum videos from youtube, cuz that's just meh, super meh, be consistent and progressive, you'll soon reach it! good luck
>>459671looks like the UI of an asset dump game for 5 bucks on steamthe only thing I don't absolutely hate is the shade of red in the leftmost boxes. Otherwise, it seems like you have a huge amount of knowledge about design and deliberately violate as many rules/guidelines as possible. If so, good troll, if not - have you considered working as a cleaning person?
This is similar to a vhs effect but it's not quite. What effect is this?Or is this just a jpg compression effect?
>>461170This is a result of sharpening after jpeg compression, you can also just upscale and sharpen to get those white edges without the artifacty texture in the flat colours
>>461175Thanks!
Is there a font that fulfills the restrictions in pic related (letters A-Z and/or a-z)? Or what keywords should be searched for
What are your thoughts on this?I tried to evoke some sort of feeling of the 2010s with the design. I know the kane and lynch basedjaks are retarded but It's my hobby to edit kane and lynch in different ways and in the current video i'm making this poster will be animated and on screen for about 3 seconds. It took me maybe 4 hours in total? I'm pretty slow when it comes to improvising, I just have to keep fiddling around for a long time until i sorta understand where i'm going. Anyways, my goal was a 2010s hopeful feeling onions ad. Did i do a good job on the design? Can you give me any criticism? i work in a dark cave until i'm done so criticism would be greatly appreciated since I have almost no feedback ever.
Here is the vertical version.
The graphics used all have varying degrees of quality. The drink onions text looks too cramped in that box.
>>461043Pretty bad
>>461043The onions is way too high quality. You can use the onions texture from deus ex.kino overwise. :>
>>461043>I know the kane and lynch basedjaks are retardedThey are. Do you have a version without it?
How do I get the effect pictured at the left/right ends of this image, where the background is striking yet seems to fade in comparison to the center image?
>>461123Saturation, color, and resolution/blur
Remember that thread a few years ago where some guy was trying to Photoshop a picture of a woman to look like she was made out of stone? Dozens of anons took a stab at it and all of them fucking sucked, even ones made by seasoned designers. This was made by ChatGPT in less than 3 (THREE) minutes. Point being it's so fucking over for this field it's not even funny. >it even gave her some pokey nipples when I didn't even ask it toBOW TO YOUR AI OVERLORDS NOW!!!
>>460843>>460844It looks nothing like the original
are the AI skeptics in this thread under the impression that the massive leaps in AI GD performance over the past five years will come to a grinding halt this year? I suspect none of you are high-level AI researchers, so I'm curious to see what your reasoning looks like. Unless, of course, you are on elephantine doses of copium.
>>460888>none of youthis board has been dead for years anon and even before that there was only one or two real designers here the rest are just newfags with pirated photoshop, also one of the main ai problems is owning the output result copyright, and recently there was an online poll and more than 80% of designers said they use ai either to generate ideas and speed up their workflow. right now the biggest problem for designers is not ai but those new companies that are offering unlimited designs for $5/month not even fiverr can compete with them
>>460888Recognizing that the OP is talking out of his ass and his entire premise is retarded isn't "AI skepticism"AI bros sound increasingly like the self driving car and alternative energy shills>just you wait > it will do everything promised> it will be unstoppable>everything will change forever>trust me nowOne thing that you and developers aren't considering (because developers never do) is that wirh creative tools many users don't need or want endless upgrades and perfection. >inb4 some sperg nitpicks a few things like the strands of hair>nothing that even your grandma couldn't touch up with som app if they really cared enough (most people don't)If thats the case why wouldn't theComment too long.

why tf does this look so ugly? I literally used pantones n everything.
>>460420no alignmenttoo many (not fitting with each other) fontsno structure or hierarchytexture could help as well, but maybe you need it without>color is not the problem. the rest kind of is
>>460421
>>460422now I see it! it's beautiful!!!!
>>460420The white rectangle surrounding the text is too much, you should eliminate it and just have the text contrasting with the background.
>>460420Contrast is fucked.
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.
Why is graphic design such a giant, popular field but tutorials and documentation outside of the surface level, popular effects are either lacking or among a horrifying large sea of shit. No other creative field reaches GDs level of garbage imo (i.e. drawing, video editing, music, etc). If you want to do cool shit or learn interesting ways to use tools that isn't just messing around with filters, you have to do a fuck ton of research or personal experimentation. Doesn't help that most tutorials are by people who purposefully waste your time for money on videos or boomers who have no script and ramble on and fumble their way through trying to each shit.
>>460087You answer your own question in the asking- "graphic design" is a deliberately vague, generic term that encompasses a multitude of methods and practices used (often in combination) to accomplish a wide range of goals.Everything you complain about applies to any attempt to get more than a surface level overview by approaching a study of things like "practicing medicine" or "aviation" or "woodworking" at that all-inclusive macro level.
>>4601060, literally. Ai will leap now hugely. Already does, really.
does anyone have any good recommendation for photoshop tutorials for literal beginners with zero knowledge? i try to find tutorials but all i see are useless fucking retarded indian videos and other ESL garbage.

I'm going to sign up for a couple of trade-skill\art projects courses (sublimation (the trade job, not psychology), impressions (paper, plastic) and other printable graphic-design skills..Even, maybe if I make friends; serigraphy and graffiti.How can I mix these, as well as paid leaflet-spreading, for an interesting, engaging ARG?Should I create fake WBM captures of Angelfire sites? ( I can claim it was taken down ,further than the "was removed" level, from WYB if someone asks? I will answer as an alleged anon, tho)How can I turn an AI chat into a Gematria machine?
>>460026Well, a good ARG consists of three parts:>BelievabilityTo start, what separate's unfiction from fiction is it's ability to captivate it's audience into believing in something that isn't real. Even if the concept is wild, ala Slenderman.With the skills you have, I'd start with imitating real document's and thinking about using graphic design as a way to make your story more believable. Like finding a bunch of files at an abandoned preschool. Or a bunch of graffiti leading into an underwound mecca. Bonus points if you do it live rather then CGI.>StoryThis is the tough part, you have to take something extremely unbelievable (like the sun disappearing or a submarine with the memories of your wife) and make it into a real and tangible thing. So try to start with something completely bonkers and work backwards into how you can incorporate it in a realistic way. Minus points if you use existing folklore with no extra twists.>PuzzlesManaging puzzles can be really tough depending on your audience. If it's too easy it's boring, too tough and it becomes unsolvable. Hot tip. Start it as mind numbingly easy, then slowly crank up the difficulty. If it eventually becomes to hard, try a sock puppet reddit account that just so happened to figure it out. Then tone it back down for a while.>t. an ARG fan since 2005
>>460026>Angelfire is still good for hosting >You can make those WBMs and changed the dates in a program that lets you edit the appropriate metadata>Very easy to with a handful of photo editors that are easy to find and usually free
>>460026for starters you probably shouldn't be linking your ARG to terrorist organisations and sexploitation rings. you do know that's what your image is from, right OP?see: order of nine angles, tempel ov blood
Christ is King.
I've always loved design, I've wanted to work with it since I was little, but seeing that it's such an undervalued profession in my country is so sad and exhausting. I don't want to go hungry, but I also don't want to work with something I hate, I'll probably end up going to some random college just so I don't disappoint my parents
>>460235Don't do college, you'll end up on adderal or broke
>>460235dont go to collegework in hard physical labour and do some self-work for gfx on the side and make it your main thing when you get enough WORK.
How do you feel about fake windows?
it looks so liminal and weird, i like it 0.0
Maybe if you had a few options of what background you could pick. Maybe one that mimics sunset, night etc
ehhhhh too much color, don't like it
>>460782Wish it was a real view of mine
