I've been working on this for the past 40 or so minutes, any opinions? things that need work? made in google slides btw
Got inspired to make something that looks better in slides as a challenge. It is very much not the ideal software to make graphics in. When doing vectors and rasters, I prefer krita.
>>461073>We perfectly engraved the curves of our great mountain ShugalugNow anyone who's used to seeing it from one single direction can draw it like the back of day hand
>>461064I'll say what I say about the shitty music my friends send me.>Wow, I could totally see that being in a videogame
would look better if you extended the sand floor all the way and removed the pit of red circles, there's more of a style going on if you remove that
>>464278this looks cool as hell
I know this is lazy as shit but I am an untalented hack and I agreed to design a logo for my tech literate frined. What are the best A.I.s out there for making businese logos?
>>463246midjourney but just use it as a template and redo it by hand in your program of choicebut it's been 5 days, you probably won't even read this
>>463246 You are untalented, but try anyway. Everyone feels insecure sometimes, even pros doubt themselves. There is one piece of advice though that always works: suck it up. You do not have to be an AI cuck/baby about it. Make something simple, use references, and call it a day. If you feel like you need more time, be honest with your friend about it. He reached out to you because he trusts you. If I had a friend and asked them to draw something because I admire their work, I wouldn't want them to break my trust by using a bot to do it. I would still appreciate it even if it is not 100% up to their standards. Either ask for an extension, tell him you can't do it, or try anyway. Otherwise, you get this sticker for this loser behavior:
>>463246JuggernautXL is the best one I've used for it so far. It won't get text right. Imagery will need to be corrected. But it's solid for banging out 100+ relatively decent looking logomarks that you can basically redraw into a working logo and call it your own.
how would I edit this to have a realistic looking crack in it? I'm trying to troll my son
>>461916its the 20s ask chat gpt
Just upload the image into chatgpt and have AI do it for you.There is absolutely no need of a graphic designers skills or help needed for this.
Can't believe this thread is not dead.This board is dead tho
>>461916Hold it really tightly and smash it into a brick wall. Shouldn't this be a question for /k/?
>>461916the real trolling lies in actually breaking it, but making it look edited in the photo
It looks like Plasma 6.7 is going to be shipped with themes from Plasma 4https://filipfila.wordpress.com/2026/02/08/beating-an-old-but-not-dead-horse-what-to-do-with-the-oxygen-and-air-themes/https://filipfila.wordpress.com/2026/04/05/halfway-there-to-6-7-updates-on-oxygen-and-air/Is this a W for Frutiger Aero chads?
didnt plasma 5 already have these? i have them on kubuntu 24.04, were they just removed in plasma6?
>>464267they were broken in KDE5 (especially if you were on Wayland), so KDE6 removed them This is a proper restoration project for modern theming system
>>464268oooh, yeah im on x11 and theyve been working for me (tho i've been just using the defaults mostly, i'm boring), very cool they're bothering to keep it alivekde in general seems to be interested in adding more personality to their DE which i think is a good thing
what are other alternatives to cricut? they're kinda overprice shit. and is it possible to obtain consumer - grade plotter machine that are able to emboss thin sheet metal with varying degrees of thickness?
I want to be able to clip the mask from the left side(bright cyan for visibility) to look like the right side. Is there any way to do this?
I'll answer my own question because I was stupid.Create two video tracks. One will be the clip, the other will be the mask.Pair the second track as a compositing child of the first(left hand side, burger menu of the video track.)Make your clip mask on the first video channel. It's preferable that it is white.Create your other mask on the second video channel. It can be any color.Switch the compositing mode of the first video channel to Multiply(same place as making it a Composite Child.)Ta-dah. 1 and a half hours of trial and error for literally no reason.
Am I fucking retarded for still using Adobe Illustrator? All I do is make shitty anime vectors and the workflow drives me fucking nuts each time. Is this shit just absolute ass for productivity or am I just retarded?Everytime I try to look up tutorials for this shit it just gives me ass unrelated "how to trace your linart" horseshit. Also why the FUCK doesnt illustrator have drop shadow still in 2026. Fuck I'm mad.
>>464212uh, whats you work flow?and uh image trace and uh krita? the fuck are you doing?
It has drop shadow though.
>>464212
>>464212Illustrator is a nightmare, and the best, for control on everything but texture, or realistic shading. Don't fucking touch gradient mesh.Sketch in photoshop or with a brush in illistratorDrop opacity make a new layer do your your line work. Have the entire pen tool, tool bar out and floating.use the pencil tool to draw the shapesuse the eraser to refine themexpand appearance of those shapes then combine them in the pathfinder menu, simplify the path, the use the direct select to to erase and adjust the curves of your paths. use pen to to make exact curves, then epand apperance and merge into the shapes, repeat repeat repeat.when you get your outlines done, merge again, then put a block of color behind it, select both find the pathfinder button that divides, try and move the color block, if there are no gaps, you'll have cut outs for all your color fields, and can adjust colors now, If there are gaps, you have to use the knife tool, and draw over the gaps to separate the shapes. then you can use shapes or knife to cut those color blocks to add two or three tone shading, or just export it once you have your flats and shade it in photoshop.
its a gif
>>464229>>464230Im gonna be honest.it's pretty kewl.
◯◯◯â–
>>464127???you didn't even add a new combination but just made a worse version of what was already there rofl
>>464128Well, This was just a passing thought, and I implemented it.
>>464129which one?
>>464130Making useless picture of replaced objects, if you ask me why, I will tell you that makes me satisfied for some reason
>>462934You forgot one where the rectangle is black and on top
So exhausted to use several tools, which cost me unnecessary work. Help me..
>>464179I cant believe there actually is app like this.
>>464178is this a shill thread?why the fuck is it a problem to not be able to edit audio in your page layout application?
>>464183what the fuck even is the site..??
>>464194it downloads a bug file. make sure you erase it.
>>464178>unification toolsWhat do you mean? Like one magic tool that does everything?That wouldn't make a lot of sense since these tools all do different things. They each take a lot of resources as well, which is the main reason they're still split into separate applications.Staying within the Adobe ecosystem is the closest thing to "unification" that's plausible.>>464183Because people who call themselves "graphic designers" are mostly students, early in their careers, or retards.
Is graphic design worth learning in the age of AI?
>>463806Principles / fundamentals / shit they would teach you in school?Yes.Is it worth spending tens, or hundreds of thousands, to go to school for it? lol, no. Absolutely not.Watch some free courses on youtube or something.Teenagers who want to be influencers end up better graphic designers from making their thumbnails than most people graduating with degrees in it. The degree is more about being a part of the artsy-fartsy seen. The only people who take GD seriously as a career after like age 25 are flamboyantly gay men and art-girls. Everyone else moves onto some other industry/role, bringing their design skills with them as a side-skill.
>>463806definitely not, ESPECIALLY if you're intending on wasting money on a degree or school.
>>464095>Everyone else moves onto some other industry/roleSuch as?
>>463806no we're all jobless
>>464202Web development is probably the biggest one.Also video editing.
lmaoooo
>>462651does anyone? come on
>>462580how good is their AI?how can I get premium for free?I refuse to give women and jews money.
Has anyone actually been using this. If you put a vector in a group the vector points become skewed, so you can't have something like a perfect square or circle. It's always something like 121 x 120 pixels. What a piece of shit software, just use Inkscape it's also free/
>>462547Every adobe product ends up getting locked out every time i install it after following directions.
>>464204do you block outbound internet access for the programs?
Redesign it
>>464042enjoy your iranian lego dildo, magat
reminds me of an old reply on /ck/ lol

Is it retarded to use fountain pens?
>>460180It's frustrating. Almost nobody uses them IRL and the two fountain pen forums and the subreddit have a demographic that usually angers me. I think the poster above is right that this "hobby" draws a higher-than-normal anxiety enthusiasts. >>462736The most annoying thing about fountain pens is that many dry out, whether within days or weeks or months. Therefore my primary suggestion is to get one that does not do this. To achieve this, get a screw-off style cap instead of a snap on/off cap (the snap mechanism requires the cap has tiny holes in it, to prevent a vacuum that would pull ink out). The best company for this is Platinum because they have a "Slip and Seal" technology that is known to keep the nib wet, even when stored unused for months. As a beginner I would suggest buying two Platinum Preppys, in in a fine and one in a medium. This should get you an idea of what it's all about with a cheap, reliable pen that is not going to annoy you. And they come with a little bit of ink.To upgrade this order slightly, get one or two converters to go with the preppy and some ink samples that appeal to you. Much of the joy in fountain pens is in playing with different ink colors, and converters allow you to swap colors with just a bit of cleanup in between.
>>462737are the noodlers inks in some way special or good? I like their designs but never tried the product itself
>>454720It's cool if you're a big fucking deal lawyer or CEO signing shit constantly. Otherwise, you just look like a weirdo. What are you people even writing with pens besides your signature and a date?
>>454718I like em for drawing
i just gold my first gold nib montblanc used for under $50 shipped. you too can do so if you look for used pens in japanese domestic marketplace. yahoo japan, mercari japan and use a proxy shipping service like sendico. my thirdworld ass got a hold of 70s montblanc 320p this way. if you want to get gold nibs this is the cheapest way i know. the same listings in these places are reposted on ebay with higher prices, why not go straight to the source? gold mine for japanese pens 70s-90s and montblanc too surprisingly. my theory is they hoarded a lot of luxury before 90s japan crash.
Wassup wagecucks, have you lost your jobs due to AI huh?
I'm looking to hire people from /gd/ for a /tg/ project. How much would someone charge for something like a Deck Box design or card frame?
>>463273somehow still have a graphic design job, I doubt it lasts much longer though, maybe a couple years
>>463273not a wage cuckclient cuck.need more clients. ai currently utterly irrelevant to my work.
Indians are still more of a threat than AI
>>464181gonna scalp you white man. keep away from my fucking buffalo
