Retarded motherfuckers from non design departments at work send AI generated slop to me the graphic designer, to approve for printing, trying to flaunt that they can do what I do, I guess? Carrying printouts of their AI generated slop to my boss the general manager for approval while simultaneously trying to show that I can be replaced or fired. Meanwhile they don't understand a fucking thing, you can't just generate an image of a banner at print quality just because you told the fucking AI to generate "print quality", it's not even the right fucking dimensions...you think you can print it and think it's going to fit a fucking huge custom banner holder? Goddam idiots

Then they run their fucking emails through AI to appear more intelligent than they are, and form arguments, yet when you speak to them in person they're fucking unintelligible

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.

>>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:

JuggernautXL 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.

File: Clipping masks in Vegas.jpg (206 KB, 300x1080)

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.

Illustrator 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 illistrator
Drop 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 shapes
use the eraser to refine them
expand 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.

>unification tools
What 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.
>>464183
Because 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?

>>
>>463806
Principles / 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.

definitely not, ESPECIALLY if you're intending on wasting money on a degree or school.
