>Can somebody photoshop X? Can somebody make me a logo?All requests for photoshopping belong on /wsr/ - Worksafe Requests or /r/ - Adult Requests. /gd/ doesn't take requests or do free or even paid work sometimes. However, if you're new at something, asking "HOW can I X?" rather than "CAN YOU make X?" will give you better results.>Can I post some of my work for critique?There is usally a critique/What-Are-You-Working-On thread, and that is where work for critique go.>Can somebody find [font]?http://www.mediafire.com/download/027xjs3ujvyqxmd/Fonts.zipalso check out your local torrent site or the font-share thread.Remember to share and not just take.

Hey /gd/I have a question, if I produce images using illegal versions of Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign, do these images have any metadata that can be tracked to see if they were illegally produced?and how do I remove such metadata, I tried googling this shit but it doesn't come up with any real answers on this topicI'm just getting to the point of completing my 4th as well as 5th gd project for my portfolio and want to upload them all to Behance but also still not cause any problems for potential employers.thanksAlso post your questions/queries
any places where you can find designs for flyers, posters, brochures as inspo that are actual real world examples, and not just a copllection of "portfolio works" that would never go past a client? I know behance has some, anything else?
>>454440oh what the fuck, deja vu
>>444142I'm looking to make a shirt design. I will take a raw image and turn it into a black and white symbol, with the white being transparent. It should be similar to this picWhat is it called? I will look for tutorials.
>>454906Some kind of vector trace.
>>454906Just ramp up the contrast to max and change brightness until you have something that looks nice. In your own vector software use trace bitmap>brightness cutoff>single color. Which would make the raster object into a vector graphic for use in screen printing.
Go fucking nuts with it. :)

What do you think?
Would you contribute to an open source project for free? Have you? Could it go on your portfolio/resume or do you focus on freelance for experience
Yes I have and would. Imagine giving up your right to modify your project in favor of the billionaires who profit off of your blind monthly subscriptions trusting that they're doing what's best for you. I went open source over closed because those greedy dicks kept asking for more yet giving less and less every update. When your "industry standard" software asks for another grand on an already programmed feature because they know best, it's time to innovate. Without the freedom to modify your stuck with whatever sloppy dick you've been served up. Branch, fork, build a new mod and fuck the established companies. The ones that no longer offer customer service, the 2 billion dollar ones that scrubbed their phone numbers and removed their adresses because they don't want to hear you ask for even the smallest change to their perfect and immortal source code.If you vouch to remove modification, your sucking off daddy Bezos's tit. Grow up and start making your own decisions. Your open source engine is bad? Do something about it, because you have the freedom to do so.
I might contribute to a project, but never start one. Open-source is bad from an economic perspective (OS Software proves this), and bad for the people contributing (mental health).Issues with bad proprietary solutions cannot be solved through open-source (nor are open-source solutions immune to the same issues), but can only be solved through good proprietary solutions.
I've contributed before, I don't often opensource my content though unless it's just a small side thing. Opensourcing means having to deal with an entire new layer of problems though a new audience with new requirements (and contributions often meaning low code quality...code written by one person will always be the most cohesive within itself as can be)

What are the font here and if possible, the sizes?
It's a dating app.Which of these logos is best?Vote for one or more please. 1 to 8.
>>454863what hard to do with no idea what the app is or what even what its name is
>>454863start by eliminating candidates, I'd scrub no 8 and 7 due to how close they are to Burlington Coat Factory.
>>454863I agree with >>454883 about 7&81- meh, looks like a bad brush script G2.ditto, looks like a weird 33. Beats by Dre logo on fire4. Not 100% perfect but Winner by a mile...classic look, readable but still fun and quirky5. Looks like a G *and* a 36. Looks like someone scratched off part of your camera ready art and the printer didn't catch it. Also Bitcoin-y.
>>454863I like 5, doubles as sperm since it's a dating app, do you have a high definition image of the logo you could post here, or the vector file? 1 is good too, I would say 3 is the worst.

>>446458Just started a page and damn i forgot how to html
>>454888Feel free to share when you got something going.
>>454903thanks maybe i will if it looks good and this thread is up. I'm fighting every urge to make a shitpost 90s geocities page or something actually tasteful but I'll probably just do both.
I have a very simple question, I hope I'm not on the wrong board.I have a book in pdf form (pic related) and I want to print it out and bind it, but I want to move the text of the left pages to the left and the text of the right pages to the right. How do I do that? I downloaded Foxit PDF Editor but it doesn't have that option.
>>454556looks like it's a scanned pdf, imagemagick can easily do what you need, if you have trouble scripting ask chatgpt
Well, one solution would be to use Paged.js, which is not as hard as it seems desu, can use the css variables @left-page { text-align : left}@right-page { text-align : right}or something similar
>>454556Image to text app. Copy and paste it in whatever program
>>454556(JustpasteDOTit/fm5fh)
>>454817so its a pdf that was scanned?
form an artistic viewpoint
>>454219idk if this is bait or if you're actually so retarded that you pointed out the contradiction in your own post without realizing it, but you can't program creativityAI will fundamentally never be able to create an actual organic concept

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.
>>454715Stick with it. Push through and don't drop out. Just get your head in the game and focus on your studies and learning.Don't worry about your peers and compare your progress to theirs. If you're feeling lost about everyone around you seemingly succeeding, who says you couldn't pick up an internship or unpaid work experience at a studio, agency, press, etc while you study. Just cold call or email them. It'll help you feel less despondent and even if nothing comes of it, why not just try and apply some of your learnings into personal art projects to build some kind of portfolio to use for your next work prospect. Having a technical edge to graphics and design puts you well ahead of many in the industry where all they know is how to use online design software and a working knowledge of photography and not a lot else.
Not wanting to jump on the AI doom train but using Adobe is beginning to feel so laborious and unnecessary and I've been designing for well over a decade. Designers are not exactly in denial, but the collapse of graphic design by humans just feels sadly inevitable, certainly within a decade. Plus you've got over saturation, over accessibility and ease of use of software. Its dead. Every millennial I know who graduated in GD/Viscom 10 years ago either transitioned to webdev or got a job in marketing lol
is there an AI that can do landing pages yet?
>>454737so you learned a whole lot of shit and instead of being proud and hustling, youre resentful? creative life isnt really a sit on your ass thing bb
>>454890I went to web design myself. There is a lot of crossover. I don't get the hype for AI. Most of the time I copied stuff from Behance and stock sites. We already have millions of quality curated assets to use or trace from.
Last april, i went to magadan in the far east. people were still driving old cars, and the cans around them had a gradient design with cyrillic letters. I wanted to live here. but soon i had to return to my home in south korea. in there, tradition has been killed. my feeling at the time is that i want to send some mail with the charger to airport, university.Flat design ruined my life, and annoying me until death. flat design based on pragmatism and materialism.everyone loves the old skeuomorphism, but it's crazy that flat design still exists today.

>>454108This OP, is the correct answer.- Message certified by the Feds
>>454102Now you download Photoshop
>>454102It's really not hard at all, search for images and combine them like >>454106 said. Use tints and blends to build them.
