how do i create such designs? i love them, the ones in mde and extreme peace, they are so fucking cool
>>460761Im 40 not really a fan and know little about design but they look cool and have a unique style to them.
>>460961Emigre #58
bump. maybe someone knows how to make them
where can i get after effects? PTB??
>>460958>Emigre is actually good and the og shit, not basic in anyway. Sam just copied egregiously from it, but you can cope awayemigre been bit so many times already that it feels normal when people are overt about biting it.the transitional video stuff on world peace looked really good i thought, but that was less emigre and more just dumping AE effects on clips and dumping the dr bronners random text shit everywhere. I don't think sam did any of that shit though

Illustrator beginner here. How's this for my first time? Any help or advice would be appreciated.
>>462947The best place to get creative stuff is vk (russian facebook) but don't just download everything, try to curate and develop a setup for making stuff reliable and fast, with files made for presentation too, like t-shirts or poster mockups (I mostly download or pay for True Grit Supply or high quality stuff). for example you can just search on google like this:site:vk.com astute graphics>Astute Graphics Bundle + Pro Texture Packs (Windows) (641.08 MB) tested only on Illustrator v26.0.3 CC 2022>Download:https://workupload.com/file/QxAY7sVNQLG
>>462948This is highly appreciated anon. True Grit Supply does seem to offer a better deal than Astute Graphics considering the latter is charging a subscription to use their assets.I downloaded the link you showed me and I'm a little surprised to see an .exe for plugins. Is this normal or just their way of DRM?
>>462950Also, I forgot to add, any recommended channel or tutorial to get a hang of Illustrator? I know my way around Photoshop a bit, but I'm still new with this.
>>462950True Grit is the best for brushes and textures in specific styles, for example they have: 50s atomic age, 60s psychedelic, 70s groove funk, 80s pop art, 90s grunge, retro comics, woodcut, vintage halftones, 2000s printing textures, t-shirt distress textures etc. You use them mostly if you plan to work with some form of print in those artstyles, or for selling t-shirts, posters, books, etc.Astute Graphics, is mostly used to speed up your workflow for example if you use a tool more than once you should make a keyboard shortcut for it, also they both have channels with tons of tutorials but I only watched maybe one or two videos.https://www.youtube.com/@TrueGritTextureSupplyhttps://www.youtube.com/@astutegraphics/videos
>>46295190% of Illustrator is just the pen tool and you learn it by tracing your own drawings, after you do 10 or 20 you'll get used to it. and later on you can trace on illustrator but a lot of people trace on paper and take a pic with your phone, or some sketch on photoshop and use the image as reference in illustrator.The most used things to learn for illustrators are the basic stuff, like how to place and edit the points and handles, how to use the pathfinder panel, and other tools like cutting, grouping/ungrouping, bring layers to the front or back, lock layers, etc. (you should have shortcuts for those).These are the channels where I learned the most useful stuff from, the last one is a podcast so you can just leave the sound on but you can learn a lot about the business side, is just interviews with some illustrators and designers who are successful:https://www.youtube.com/@TheVectorLabhttps://www.youtube.com/@RetroSupplyhttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAtkH02dHIUKLtn7djPbduhnLxx9EzRnhhttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1kftJGcwTVr5-zWlPwPklmybWVAagLDZAnd finally these videos are pretty inspirational and helpfulhttps://vimeo.com/55846250Comment too long.

I feel like its missing something. Maybe a diff picture of jesus would work better? Idk. Suggestions?
>>462323bottom left is aislop
>>462515Better than human slop.>>462323Make yeshua's skin darker, and give him a wider, flatter nose. More afrocentric features in general I think. You're close though!
Flame decals on the car, thicker outlines on the text. Some lens flares.
>>462323You need to have a more consistent visual identity. The problem is a lack of vision I guess.Notes:-The various outlines around the "trap" look iffy and how completely different it looks from the Jesus element is jarring.-The bottom text is not really aligned in any good manner. It's interestingly placed but it has no real impact. If it completed the circular shape created by the the positioning of the "Trap Jesus" it'd be cooler looking-the ancient egypt background is useless here and doesn't add anything to the ideas introduced by any of the text. If aqualantis is a cool place that is water themed then why is there a fucking pyramid here?-the space ship idea is out of left field and is better left out or implied in some other symbolic/esoteric way-the car looks like shit-the Poseidon? on the left there looks incredibly bad.I had a better idea for this. I'm no expert mind you, I'm just a guy with too much free time.
it needs additional "bling" to balance the bling of the car.maybe put a audacious jewled cross around jesus neck or an adidas symbol on his robe or maybe a sexy girl in a bikini
This is the label design for Peter Stormare's vodka, what would you do differently ?
(Perhaps subconciously) influenced by picrel (both this particular design and the artist's general style and that of his era) the same way all rock guitar bands are influenced by Chuck Berry. Peter Max also did this more sloppy hippie-ish lettering style sometimes too and of course tons of people copied them.It's supposed to be quirky and bohemian and "honest" and have "soul".
>>462920Warhol also wasn't the only big name artist to crapify the word mark for that campaign to make it more arteestic...but it was a big thing in marketing that blurred the line between commercial and advertising art (hence Warhol) and people now who make crap looking vodka labels because it somehow looks right don't even know it's because they're copying that template.https://thebrandhopper.com/2024/09/14/a-case-study-on-absolut-vodkas-absolut-bottle-campaign/#The_Art_of_Collaboration_Absoluts_Partnerships_and_Limited_Editions
>>462921Wkj
>>462921Sorry, meant to say->tblurred the line between commercial and *fine* art (hence Warhol)
>>462923Yeah this isn't any of that. This is just bad fad design
Hello My real name is Joe but I have gone by scor online and even built a little following as an editor with it.Im on here cause I have ran into a hurdle I want to venture into more things but going at those things solo is a bit challenging. I have started coding and have built a couple projects but I want some people i can rub ideas with and in my community I am one in many who involve themselves with this.Is there anybody who codes or maybe is into design or technical side of computers?My discord is ScorScor#8524

>>462533that googel logo is basically 1920s art deco typenot 'trad' enough for you?
>>462870who was talking about 'trad'? lol

>>460296It’s hilarious how many threads there are on this board about how you cant find work but also praising shitting design. Methinks I know why yall are out of work.

I have a request, I'm requesting this. This thing I'm requesting is what I'm requesting: I need screenshots of old forum sites, the actual threads. I cannot find them. I can find the thread browser in old forums, I can find old forums with the new bland minimal aesthetic, but I cannot find actual threads.I've tried wayback machine for Gaia Online, WoW, FFXI and a few other sites, they have returned with heavily missing css and html. I am at wits end, some may call me witless, but whether my wits are less or more than 0, my time is being whittled to nothing. Please, lets put our wits together to which we can find old threads of forum posts from the early 2000s.

Since when does this board exist?
>>4628122013, always been pretty dead thoughfont share threads were active for a few years but since that lost traction it's been a ghost town
Honestly doubt even the jannies monitor this board. It used to be slow but kind of active.Pretty sure since ai image generation became a thing its died entirely.
>>462877it died before that, it happened to other generals or boards as well, when they forced you to wait 120 seconds or pay for a 4chan pass to post, there's tons of gd discords are pretty active
>>462812It has existed for a decade at this point but i dont blame people for not knowing it exists when its so dead
What is the name of this graphic design style?
i might be wrong but i think this falls loosely under Y2K
Optima yero.
>>4628022000s Green Line- English for foreign students
>>462802i graduated a community college in 2001 and work a dead end job making mediocre education book covers design style
>>462852shouldn't have said 'dead end' as able to do anything useful on a computer was lucrative in the 2000s with a fairly low barrier of entry and actual competency. any retard could claim to be a "webmaster" or a web/graphic designer.
You guys need to understand something, because when you ask "How do we bring this style back", for any aesthetic you want, you're not getting that these aesthetics didn't exist in a vacuum. They were there to advertise a product, or culture around the product.You won't bring any aesthetic back, you won't create any new kind of aesthetic, if there is no culture behind it. Otherwise, its just wall paper. You're in /gd/ GD is making wallpaper for a product or culture.You have to ask yourself, how is a culture formed, how a culture is made, and how does a culture persists. Because culture is what happens when you're not around. its self reinforcing by the people participating.None of you will bring any kind of aesthetic back without a culture.
I think there has to be a sense of novelty. It can't be a previously trodden path or else it feels like a spent energy, it feels like forcing something that has long since ran its course. Like a meme or music genre, it's not completely dead but its confined to a small clique of aficionados. It cannot captivate large portions of the population anymore so most people move on to something feels fresh and invigorating.Moreover it just feels forced. People naturally aren't inclined to make art like they did 20 years ago (which was largely impacted by the technological means that are no longer there). It's easier and more intuitive to just do what you're used to (generic flatshit) or do something new. People don't naturally do things that happen to faithfully adhere to bygone trends. Just just do whatever.And like a meme, it has to naturally emerge from the zeitgeist. It has to seem like the most befitting thing for the moment. The laser grids of the 80s just aren't gonna cut it for most people.Stuff like synthwave and vaporwave have a niche appeal that likely could never go mainstream. And even then, it is hardly a faithful implementation of retro aesthetics. They are more of a crude indulgence of stereotypes of the 80s & 90s for the purpose of escapism. It's not forward looking like the retro aesthetics that inspire it. These are dead genres for people who are dead inside.
>>462363Looking at OP and this, there just seems to be a sense of individualism on the internet that keeps people from blossoming a movement.People can hone in their own graphic design and style, but to get a great majority of others to follow is a really hard deal. And to have those other people following not seem like a cheap knockoff is harder. Think of AVGN clones.You're either doing something new, or knocking someone off, when you actually get enough skill to not look like an amatuer/everyone else.
>>462363>Just just do whatever*They just do whatever>>462373It might be the case that artistic trends will come to be less centralized over time resulting in a more diverse and compartmentalized landscape. AI is a big game changer too. The ease with which you can generate art might break the death grip Corporate Memphis currently has (which is mainly used due to how braindead & easy it is to create). Targeted advertising may reflect this, for better or worse. Sites that collect data about you may figure out what aesthetics appeal to you and generate ads accordingly. Web design might also similarly opt for a variety of AI generated layouts. I'm sure people are realizing how repugnant Corporate Memphis is to a lot of people. The world is bigger than the oversocialized bugmen and PMC drones that actually enjoy that garbage. I almost think its intentionally bad as a means of driving away interesting people thus lowing competition for themselves.

We need to RETVRN to Y2K
when you try to revive something from the past, you always end up with an inferior bastardization of the original. aesthetics are downstream from culture and represent the culture and world around it.Y2K died on September 11, 2001 and is never coming back. best you can do start something new
>>462801>ads predominantly show Asians and WhitesWell well well
>>462801start buying magazines boi
>>462821>giving power to 911y2k aesthetics didn't end until almost 2010
>>462801you don't seem to be able to recognize what visual minimalism, a minimal composition is or isn't
Client asking me to design his book coverI have no idea how to price it.What do /gd/?
>>462442multiply the number of hours it will take you to make it or it took you to already have made it, by 25 bucks and write a contract for 5% royalties on sales only if it breaches the 1 million dollar sale
>>462741My book sold $999,999 you get nothing
>>462499did it tho?
>>462442cover is pretty cool i would buy the book just for the cover image looks good you should charge good amount
>>462826you should give reading proper literature a try
