What is the next big aesthetic wave after Flat Design going to be? How much longer will Flat Design last?
>>462022I realize that everybody is listening to the same podcasts and that using the term "collective unconscious" is considered fashionable, well-read and 'in touch with something deeper' rn.but neither do we need to mystify what is happening in design by using it, nor are you even understanding it correctly.what you are trying to point at is *NOT* Jung's "collective unconscious", but Durkheim's "collective conscience"*obviously* art and design are reflections of dynamics in society! otherwise we would still be stuck doing cave paintings..art history is exactly about untangling these drivers!>okay, so what might actually be the interesting message in flat design and globohomo?idk, but maybe along the lines:>we globally prefer lying to ourselves by willfully accepting to call monopolistic datacenter-gigacorporations-with-insight-into-every-persons-character-and-life by their self-given names à la "social media" and "recommendation system" in exchange for them making us feel connected to the increasingly faceless system of symbols that is contemporary internet.not complete, but a starting point(?)>rising and falling empiressure, cute. we all enjoy fantasizing about collapse to avoid growing up and taking the responsibility of having to change anything.

>>462026>don't forget to prioritize the less speculative drivers in design development, one of which is that flat design emerged in the global marketing of tech-giants, where it is not just speaking to *one particular culture*, but *all of them at the same time*So you propose that multiculturalism ruined design? Thats Umamusume pretty derby for you to say, but it makes sense. Otherwise you are quite a fag since youre criticizing me so much.What will be that next design style? Are we ever going to overcome flatness in design and the flatness of the modern mind? Forced immigration has diluted social bonds and controlled coercive democracy has flattened the mind, average IQ in free fall. Design is about celebration, but modern wins are flat. It is a sad state of affairs.
>>462030>So you propose that multiculturalism ruined design?are you retarded or being cute?>plz stop le criticizing me. AND ALSO you are a faggggkekkkk>what will be the next design style?everybody on earth agrees that we are living through what appears to be the least predictable times in all of human history. >climate change>AI>long term impact of social media>(likely correlated) increase in mental health issues>political tension, both globally and locally>lack of children in industrialized countriesComment too long.

>>462034Dont give up. Absence means there is chance for reinvaention.
>>456976Some of them, but it's still handy to be able to describe an aesthetic.>>456998They got some of this shit wrong. The globohomo characters under "Flat Design" are referred to as Corporate Memphis. They started becoming popular during the flat design era, but they're not strictly part of it.
Is affinity actually a good replacement for what it advertises? I don't mind paying for software so long as it's a perpetual license. I don't wanna give any money to adobe nor do I wanna pirate their software and risk getting fucked.
>>461992what makes designer better than illustrator?
i had to move from pc to mac and i couldnt pirate photoshop in here so i bought the lifetime thing of affinity and it takes a learning curve, but its quite great now
>>461716No. It's the better option for non-professionals, but they have some serious work to do before they can fight Adobe on its home turf. E.g. Affinity don't support RTL text. At all.>>461995MSJ forum.
I love it, it is fantastic. It SHOULD be the standard. Much easier to learn than adobe stuff. Feels better to use.
It can do the basics but you will eventually run into stumbling blocks. Designer has no vector brushes. There are also no filters for manipulating vectors or vector tracing. It's getting better though with the recent pathfinder tool integration. There were no major updates this year so Canva might not be heavily invested in it.
How is it that adobe still basically has no real competition sure there's alternatives to photoshop, illustrator, premiere pro but from what I've seen none of them really measure up to adobe so what is it that the alternatives aren't doing that would at least put them closer to even playing fields?
Clutterware. Adobe Illustrator seemed over-complicated and had a cancelation fee as well
I feel like I’ve wasted 15 years of my life, and my career has led me nowhere. At 35, I should be at my peak in terms of earnings and health, yet I’m a nobody. I keep ending up in shitty companies where I’m expected to do everything while getting paid less than gate keeper. For the past 10 years, I’ve designed websites, logos, mobile apps, print materials, books, t-shirt prints, labels, packaging, product photography, social media content, 3D designs, modeling, animation, and simulations. If I had focused on one thing from the start, I’d be an expert in a specific field by now and making decent money. Unfortunately, the harsh truth is this: if you are able to do anything that means you are good at nothing. When there are job listings for simple graphic work, they don’t want someone with 5+ years of experience. If they do want someone with 5 years of experience, they expect an expert in one particular niche. Today, no one even wants to spit in my direction. No one is looking for a 35-year-old guy who has done everything (but nothing specific) because they have 100 young, dynamic grads fresh out of college to choose from. The competition in the big city is just too strong. For the past 5 years, I’ve been working from home part-time, and somehow manage to pay the rent. The MS diagnosis broke me. Depression, no friends, far from family, always making excuses. If it weren’t for my wife earning well and help from my in-laws, I’d have nothing. It feels like everyone around me is doing fine, earning well, and building great careers - except me. I’m feeling down, I’m sick of this fucking city and its weather. I just needed to get this off my chest.
>>459830I've read everyone's posts. Buncha masochist retards the lot of you.OP, you need to learn marketing. You need sales skills. With those skills you can frame everything you've said into a sales pitch that gets you what you want. Read the book "Positioning" and you will better understand your talents and experience, as well as your craft. Look into the books by marketing experts like Seth Godin.This will be sufficient in changing your outlook and reversing your career course away from the ditch.Learn copywriting, improve your storytelling skills. You're gonna be fine.A lot of you would benefit from goal-oriented therapy.
You should start a small publishing company… maybe comic books or something like a cooking magazine… OWN IT!, PUBLISH IT!!! SELL IT!!! So we can Buy It!

>>459781I instinctively interpret the black dies as being the defective ones and wonder what the designer was thinking.
>>462038the designer was thinking filled and empty cells in a semiconductor crystal lattice
>>462039But dies are removed from a wafer a row at a time, so the scattered holes don't make any sense.
>>462042you either didn't read my message properly or need to research how semiconductors and doping work...

hi everyone, this is my first post in here, so i am making a fictional car brand for my game, something more like gta, and i made this logo for a bugatti-inspired car brand called "ZENVETTI", a high end luxurious supercars, please tell me everything i can do to make it better, criticize it brutally so i can improve it and actually work as a freelance and to support my project

How do I cope knowing that the best logo ever is ruined by a retarded ideology?Nothing comes even close to the swastika. It makes me depressed to the point of giving up logos completely.

>>461742It's a variation on the sun symbol.The Aztecs originated in the southwest of the United States. The Hopi call him Tawa. In Algonquian mythology, the thunderbird controls the upper world while the underworld is governed by the underwater panther or Great Horned Serpent. They are messengers of the Great Sun himself.[

Post and discuss /gd/ you created related to Christianity.
so i post around 100 images hope this thread actually takes off cause its pretty dead on this board lol
Here are gender symbols. They can be turned into stickfigures and bathroom signs. Recommended colors: blue and purple (they are next to each other on the color wheel)
There are STICK FIGURES and SQUARE FIGURES>Here are stick figures

from a /graphic design/ perspective which design for EnviroKidz Gorilla Munch do you guys prefer? me personally i like the typography of the middle one but as far as the actual monkey i can't decide who i like the best
>>461057Left one
Left one looks too much like a book cover and the one on the right looks too artificial. Middle one has soul but it would look better with a more jungle-y font
in terms of design the right one. But the old gorilla art is too iconic rly
Right one with the left graphic would be best
>>461057the words are confusing- you lose the Nature's Path Organic logo in the first box- same logo gets changed on the third boxYou'd have to get clearance on what's acceptable usage for both "Nature's Path Organic" and "Envirokids"- the Envirokids works good on the first boxalsois it "corn puffs gorilla munch" or "gorilla much corn puffs"?
