Am I doing something wrong?Started a side business for fun since, i dont really need the money, although im putting effort on it. Now, i had the idea to make the best social media i could, im willing to spend money on it. So everytime i see some interesting art, 3d art, photo, edit, i try to contact the person and ask if they could replicate that for my ad, ofc i can pay (important detail).This looked like a good deal on paper, since i could help people who (in theory) should be struggling with money because muh AI muh economy also i could get to know and talk to these people who i enjoyed their work in the first place. Now, i think i tried to contact 30+ people last week and got nothing. By no mean im trying to get freebies or lowball these artists. People just dont bother replying to me or dont know who much to charge. I say "oh, so do i know how a pro would charge, we can start with that" and they follow with some shitty excuse to ghost me. Shouldnt it be straight foward? and btw im not trying to sell guns or sex toys, nor i have controversial posts on my social media. My products could even be advertised to kids, no problem.
>>460431do you use the rupee, or rand? never been to South Africa but I'm familiar with currency exchange in general. I want to make things for someone! I have a lot of time on my hands these days, I use CorelDraw and Sony Vegas. With the graphic designs, I usually do line art, different to the art you posted some days ago, but I am not limited to.. Yeah I can put my skills to good use, lol, link me somewhere I can reach out, maybe a Discord and ill share my insta : )
>>460431>>460432https://discord.gg / mQd5z6HCSure yo. Ok I ain't good with Discord. but this is what I made and I could send my Insta in there, and not on 4chan. but yeah, hopefully maybe my skills could do something for ya! : )

Hi guys!I'm searching for a HD version of the DWC logo from DragonBall World Collectable. It's an old Dragon Ball figures line released only in japan. Here is the said logo in a low quality...
Hello /gd/, I was looking for some ideas on my personal brand merchs and while I'm searching, I found this chinese kid's toy of "3D puzzle" which reminds me of my childhood on building houses from modeling kit where the "toy" foam itself requires no scissors as they're already precut but still in flat sheets before assembling it into 3D models where you can play house with. So my question are:How do I use my plotter machine to precut the thicker cardstock/foam without actually cutting it through and what's the process called? Half-cut? Scoring? I learned from my experience that I can't really print directly on the foam as the surface are too smooth for my inkjet printer. How should I go about this? Yes, I'm a small artist just make do in anicon and need to include that diy model kit from cardstock/foam as an add-ons on my printed doujin copies. :DD

im trying to prototype a website on figma for a wide range of devices but ive always been doing only 1920x1080. which other breakpoints should i use?
I only make desktop and work out in my head what the other devices will look like. Desktop 3-4 columns, Tablet, 2. Phone 1.
Figma provides typical breakpoints as default frame sizes. Press F and then select a device from the right side bar.At least one phone device and maybe a tablet, depending on the nature of your design.
I need to recreate this pattern in illustator for my work. Does anyone know how or link me a tutorial. Thanks!

>had a steady stream of freelance work inquiries for the last 10 years>4-5 inquiries a week, 4-5 of which got converted to clients per month>this February/March they just fucking disappeared forever >I'm not talking about a drop I'm talking about a permanent stop, zero inquiries total in the last 3 monthsAny other freelancers have a similar experience? I'm not seeing anyone else complain about a drop in jobs but I don't see what could be affecting only me
>>460407This was 10 years ago when AI automation was nowhere near as advanced, and I mostly targeted businesses who were actually looking for design work in my wheelhouse and style, with genuine custom messages, the consistent failure of which was enough for me to write off the concept as a whole If I'm going to have to change my process that dramatically just to get back to the standard, I'll rather just switch to another field that's not as volatile
>>460405>passive advertisingWhere did you posted?
>>460409Instagram
>>460405>cold contacting resulted in ZERO projects or responses at all after ~200 inquiriesThis illustrates a fundamental misunderstanding of the value of advertising that ironically also accounts for a lot of situations where businesses cut out advertising spending because it didn't get exactly the results they *wanted* exactly when they wanted it ...The value of unsolicited direct contacts can't really be determined solely on how many people sign up at the moment of contact- if that happens, great- but it's an ongoing process that isn't just a simple numbers game or a magic spell you just need to figure out and then profit.Advertising successfully requires long haul dedication and exploiting any and all value the contact creates even if it takes time to see it- that could be improved market visibility, referrals, people whose needs are currently met being more willing to fire their current designer if he drops the ball a year from now because they have an attractive alternative in you... Ignoring that potential just because your marketing didn't pay off immediately as revenue is short sighted and one of the most common mistakes people in business make...it's only a waste of time/money if you throw away that deeper potential by getting mad and quitting early.If you did a direct mail marketing appeal for a client and they complained the same way you wouldn't just say "you're right, it won't help so let's give up"...It's sales; if it's not working sell better.
>>460413NTA but not even warm calling works anymore. I've measured it by placing trackers on all links. Guess what, I barely got a few clicks. I'm too tired of it all. And before someone questions my quality, it's not it. I'm absolutely certain of it after looking at what trash portfolios others have.
>have to make video montage of MMA fighting event>turned out great>ask my employer what music do i use>says metal or trap>spend twice the time it took me to make the video trying to find a song because i don't know shit about that shitty music still haven't

How do I go about replicating this?I'm using Figma, trying to avoid clogging it up with a million plugins and whatnot.I know I can overlay a picture with noise but couldn't I just do it on the shape layer itself?What are the advantages of:• Colored rectangle -> add effectvs.• Colored rectangle -> dupe it one layer above -> effects/overlay/blending mode: lighten or overlayvs.• Colored rectangle -> plugin and/or png with noiseBesides noise, is there a discrete blur or anything else used?Is there texture used?Comment too long.

>>460309>>460310Yeah, I know. If you see: >>460308, it's at the bottom left part. I just ripped it from their code on the site.I'm trying to reproduce it without that png layer.Either it's:shape, add effects Noise(size 2, density 100, color FFFFFF 13% opacity)ORshapedupe shape over with (size 2, density 100, color FFFFFF 13% opacity)
>>460309>>460310>>460312The thing is, why do they look so different?Here's a closeup
>>460313Best I could do. Play with the blur and noise colours.Noise Type: DuoDensity 80%Colours 4F50FF, 5757FF 100%Layer blur: Uniform 1Optional Texture Size 24 Radius 2If it's for a website you are better off with the tiling texture though.

Give me some good reasons why CARI is not a good source of information for design and why should be avoided like the plague . They do some research at least unlike aesthetics wiki in which makes things up. If they are bad what can be done to fix it?
Funniest stuff i saw on their discord was when one of the the admins, who was popular and talented, apparently said some transphobic stuff during an event and realizing what theyve done wrote some ridiculous sorry msgs and left the server himself before consequences could be administered.

what is the "science" behind Vice City art style which adds so much sovl to it. Is it just a color palette? It has that 80-90s japanese cartoon vibes in in
>>459688A mix of both if I’m honest
>>457581Now I'm thinking how much of that art is created by artificial intelligence. I saw an AI generated GTA Egypt video in youtube and it looked amazing. It made me forget all the prevous games in the series.https://youtu.be/EjButsEzhl0?si=Fshd_dEMd-rsUQMi
>>457581The comic book panels, showing characters and vehicles.They also look more like the characters than some of the III character art.Though I think a lot of the sovl comes from the game's story, the 80s setting and the music. I fucking love that game.Breaks my heart that the lack of PS backwards compatibility and not wanting to re-buy a game I have makes it infeasible to still play.
There's a formula to it. I replicated one for my city once. Long time ago. Notice how all covers have a helicopter top left. Car bottom row. Usually a closeup face mid top. A girl at either cardinal direction of main logo, adjacent. An alternative non-car vehicle. One of the panels always has a character holding something. At least one panel with a weapon ready to be used. At least one panel that's fast/dynamic.
The Vice City text is just so cool. It is very readable, clean, and has that neon look to it. Masterful work whoever did that.
i need a book cover made, i have a rough idea of what to draw and where to place the images, i just need them professionally drawn, is this something any of you are interested in?
