Learn adobe illustrator.
Esp rotate, transform, pathfinder (lesrn what every button here does)
Learn some math especially basic geometry, ratios.

Replicate the five youve posted here. Dont do them free hand, do them pixel perfect.

Row 2, column 1 will be easiest to start with.

Create circle
Duplicate it, put second circle straight under
Select both of them
Rotate 60 degrees and make a copy

illustrator is really a shit program for anything that approaches actual 'drafting' which is the level youre aiming for to really get geometry.
honestly, may as well go get a compass and a straight edge

moot had said he wanted to clean them up, but it's been like 13 years since he said it, so I don't remember much. I think he said something about thinking some of them look like "4chan next to anime girl with nothing else happening" and that he wanted to clean those ones up.

How would you apply a glitch effect like this to text and images?

Glitch effects like this are (and I am trying to achieve) seemingly random, asymmetrical, etc. Is there particularly techniques or tools to do something like this, or is it just a pain in the ass "do each bit one by one" sort of deal?

Ultimately I don't want something as extreme as this, something much more minor (just for a single line of text really) so my first thought as a retard is to just go in to paint and shift a few lines of pixels left or right
>>
Displacement maps. Also if you can ask here, you can use google to get a much more refined answer by just searching "glitch effect how to in (whatever program)"

Im assuming youre a zoomer and dont know google exists, in which case, die

There's different types, the best ones are made for posters or titles from scratch by experimenting with typography and even programming or drawings, example:
https://vimeo.com/118998266

The ones you posted are kinda generic, if you want to learn just download premade from psdkeys or creativemarket and dissect them either on photoshop or aftereffects, for Ae you can stack all crazy effects and animate them pretty easily.
>>
>>462551
if you want to have procedural control I really like using TouchDesigner for these. And as said above, displacement. You will also need to do the chromatic aberration effect. You can separate your color image into RGB and then slightly transform them and recombine.

Yes. "Canvaslop" is a dumb name. But it's the only thing I can really call it. I fucking hate this shit so much. Words cannot describe how much I want to grab the bellend(s) who started this bandwagon of diarrhoea and reduce them to a red smear on the pavement. I want them rotting in fucking hell. I will shit on their grave. Anyone else hate this shit? I've attached an example for those not in the know.

I know nothing about technical graphic design. I'm just and immigrant who stumbled across this board (I'm liking it though). To me these designs look really nice. Way more pleasant to look at than insipid English design

It’s time to redo my portfolio and I’m looking for some inspiration. I’m a usability/product designer, but I’ll take any ideas. What are your favorite portfolios? Or share yours if you dare.
>>
>>463107
keep it simple and dont waste the visitors' time. these recruiters have to look at hundreds of portfolios. wasting just a second on an animation or long load time can be enough for them to move on to the next one. your website should be the place to show off your work, not be the work.
small introduction on the top, then two colums with large thumbnails that entice and lead to its page. each project page shouldnt need more than a small description. picture = 1000x words
good luck :)
>>
Is a portfolio website really necessary if I'm not gonna use it for applying for a job vacancy? Like, I was planning to apply for some gigs on platforms until I got money enough to start a business myself, which is what I'm aiming for.
Platforms usually want me to upload my image files to their own system, so a portfolio website doesn't make itself necessary for doing that. In which cases it's profitable to run a website just for the portfolio itself ratter than using it when applying for jobs in existing businesses?
>>
>>463351
don’t listen to this anon, basic portfolios don’t stand out. a plain, derivative portfolio won’t serve you best. true about time wasting doe.

Looks great, maybe move the text slightly down though. You could also swap text colours (so 'SERBS' is yellow). I dunno, just pulling shit out my ass

its pretty cool, looks great as icons on high res displays that are so common in offices now (seriously 1080p is the new 720p it seems).
i think artistically its awesome, but aesthetically, it does remind me of ai gen art. its tacky in the same way that a tesla with rgb lights all over it is tacky. but i have to admit the artistry for these is pretty nice. this is better than flat design because at least it commits to something, even if what its committing to is looking like an annoying "web 3.0" icon set.

I kinda like it. I want to collect them like little toys or candies. Cute. Feels like they would spin and make a glassy/glittery sound upon clicking them.
