Then you should know that at the current year of 2023 graphic design is pretty much dead. I was a professional gd for almost 10 years working in both studios and on my own and I can't really find a job anymore. It's not even because of AI to be honest, its because of how the industry works and how bad the corporate environment has become. There's still web design, 3D and VFX/motion design(primarily 3D too) and if you want something similar or easy to transition then chose one of those but I'm not sure for how long they will be relevant themselves because of the AI which is basically a final nail in the coffin of gd. Of course there are and will be exceptions and maybe you will get lucky to find some obscure local business that needs you, but if you are young and looking for a career in the future you should stop consider becoming a graphic designer. This profession is dead.
>>460081i responded to a signmaking job and they got back to me 4 weeks after the deadline to apologize for taking so long to decline me. too many applicants. same story with a very low level communication dept assistant summer job. i was just lucky to be the first there. now it's impossible to find a pure "graphic design" job that isn't some video/UI/SEO/eventplanning/print thing mashed into one role
>>445757The exception is Jacquard design
>>454586bro im dead
>>458664>More and more clients are sending me rough visual directions created with tools like Midjourney.Why don't they just finish the job then?
>>460023Like...?
how can I get money?Im just finishing uni so I dont have a decent portfolio of real projects. I tried using webs like fiverr and designcrowd but those places are full of indians selling shitty designs that looks like stock trash for nothing. I can work for cheap but I wont be designing for free.how can I start making some shekels?
>>460834not /gd/ but here's 3 easy ways>How I made $500 a week with minimal effort1. Pick a niche you actually know something about I focus on digital tools and SaaS products because I genuinely use them and understand which ones are good. Find something you can talk about naturally.2. Find good affiliate programs on sites like Clickbank etc. Some pay 20-30% per sale commission which is where the real money is.3. Look for recommendation threads on twitter, reddit, discord fb etc. People are asking "What's the best tool for X?" or "Alternative to Y?" New threads are gold mines. I just search for these daily. (Use keyword notifications tools)4. Leave HELPFUL comments This is key - don't just drop links. I write thoughtful responses that actually help solve their problem, mention my experience with the product, then casually include my link. The more helpful you are, the more upvotes you get, which means more visibility.>Selling AI-generated websites to small local businesses that don’t have one (or haven’t updated theirs in a while), Each took 2 hours and I charge them $299 and $50–$60/month for hosting & "support". Hosting costs for you $6/month, time to build each site 1–2 hours, Ongoing support work is basically zero.Tools you need:Loveable.Dev to create the ai websitesComment too long.

>>460836>Waking up dead business social media for $100/mo (I make $2K/mo working a couple hours a day)Businesses owners are too busy to run their businesses or have a social media presence. Find business with no posts for months, outdated info, zero engagement, with thriving operations in real life.Offer them to manage their social media accounts for just $100/month, Don't promise the moon - no "10x your followers!" or "leads on autopilot!" - just consistent, professional content that accurately represented their business, better yet if you can call them or meet them in person. I started with three clients:• A civil engineer• A page focused on sustainability initiatives• An IT & software companyI created and published daily content for them, texts and designs, optimized their profiles, and scheduled posts at optimal times. Within a few weeks, all three gained around 100+ new followers:• The engineering firm connected with two local projects they wouldn't have heard about otherwise• The sustainability page got invited to speak at an industry panelComment too long.

>>460817you know somebody's grandpa is getting paidbut yeah, companies often don't give a fuck if your visuals look like shit, cause they can't discern that a lot. Sometimes all they care is about getting them done and sending them out there so people see it and become aware of em. As atrocious as it looks, it is functional, good enough.
Pic related is the current stamp I ordered online, a mistake I'm never going to repeat and the seller won't take returns.In short it's ugly, the date is inserted between the first and second line making it look likeMister <Insert date here>.What can I do to fix it? other than ordering new one?I apologize if this isn't the correct board to discuss this.
Not a postage stamp, but one that you push down to leave an imprint, right?You could cover up or scrape off the "Mister", so it doesn't get stamped at all.You could also make paper covers with cutouts that only let part of the stamp through, i.e. "Mister", "Jackoff person" and date get stamped separately, but you would have to align them properly each time.Also considering the amount and frequency you have to stamp, ordering a new one might not be the worst.
>>460810>Not a postage stamp, but one that you push down to leave an imprint, right?Yeah.The exact model is colop 35 dater, pic related.>Also considering the amount and frequency you have to stamp, ordering a new one might not be the worst.yeah, Those are kinda expensive and i don't want to pay another 30$ for a fully functioning stamp.I guess my other option is just to go to professional shop to fix it?>You could cover up or scrape off the "Mister"Yeah, this would work, these stamps have sticky base and the imprint can be removed.But the whole thing is aesthetically unpleasing.Perhaps if it had a frame or something?
does gd stand for my favourite 2d platformer/rythym game GEOMETRY DASH??? [insert "dash" (level in geometry dash) theme here]
HOLY SHIT!!! IS THAT A MOTHERFUCKING GD REFERENCE!?!??!?!?!??
yes twin let's all grind the demonlist and become top players
The future is here.
>>460708we don't like nuanced thought very much around here...
>>460494If you have eyes you can see that this is better than flat design and corporate Memphis

>>460503In the latest update they reduced the glass effect dramatically already. It was never going to work.
>>460709Or blatant samefagging...
>>460296>computers are military tools>faggots think they can handle it>it all goes back to standardized military procedures (dehumanizing design)its retarded, but for different reasons
>>460590Your PC?
>>460296i like the 2010-13 logo, it reminds me of the early androids like kit kat that used to come with a google search widget.
>>4602962nd is the best!!
>>460557>it is obvious that the 2010 version would not be the best iteration to decorate a pixel phone with egWhy not?>no, it doesn't. you just happen to have decided hating the things that (to your mind) are being represented by its style.No,it just doesn't look as good. Do you think it's impossible for somebody to dislike it?
is this the peak of Alegria/flat design?is there anything more 'stunning and brave' than this?
no this ishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcoPG0oSqPI

Enough time has passed, we can all admit that this is better than Helvetica.
Does anyone know how to make this "shadowy" effect on indesign?
I'm not familiar with that program, but that looks like motion blurI did picrel in PaintDotNet
Indesign is still stuck in the 90s so good luck.
made this poster that i think is cool, non of my friends think is good tho, should i just delete Photoshop?
>>459863>le sam hyde
>>459863Reminds me of 90's Rave flyers and 2600 Quarterly covers. Art only has to move one person to be Art. Most of the time that's the Artist. I do have a BFA so keep on keeping on.
>>459863>you'll never get to lick Charlie's sweaty body
why don't you ask your idol what he thinks of your graphic design skillsmaybe he'll fly you out to rhode island on your dime and give you some valuable advice like how to not be funny and how to smoke cigars
is there a site or service for retards like me who need .svg files to laser engrave ar15 lowers and retards like you guys who know how to design shit?how much does such a thing cost and goto hell if you tell me to use some greasy pajeet service.
What were they thinking?
>>459032"too similar to kingstons logo change it"
>>459936>old good new badyou're worse than redditor, youre youtube/tiktok 3rdies NPC
>>459032It's cooler. They have balls.
>>459032I feel like having half of the logo cut off for a memory company isn't the best look.
>>459032new logo looks great
