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.

How would you describe these PicMix gif designs?
>>454499as cringe and funny as they are they have soul. since the people making them are trying to express a feeling. Even if it is tacky, its genuine.
>>454501I actually agree with thisI was gonna laugh at the pic but imagining it through the lens of someone coping with the loss of their dog tugged at my heart
>>454501>>454503yeah, i get the vibe there are some genuine expressions going on being delivered in a tacky way.
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.
>>452473Nobody said that it "doesn't exist", the truth is quite the opposite-All graphic design or artwork that exists on a surface in which if any two points are chosen, a straight line joining them lies wholly in that surface is by definition "flat design".
>>452375Check out Honda's latest rebranding.
Yeah but now logo is backlit on the cars so it looks pretty dope.
>>452375Marketing switches their logos and packaging every few years so that creative directors can pretend to comply things. Take cola cans for example, they flip between gradients and then go to a clean design, then back to gradients. I guess people’s eyes get used to something and the culture as a whole shifts and the overall design language changes, like fashion.m, goes in circles.

I'm fucking around with some UV maps and need painting advice. The only real tool at my disposal is Gimp, but I have some photoshop experience.I want to clean up the blood, make multiple skin variants, and paint on some goggles/remove the collar. How would you guys go about this? Thank youuu
I guess I could do a color overlay and avoid areas like the teeth and eyes using layering
>>454076>how you would you go about it?I would use gimp
I need to generate a very long building as pixel art. The picture should not be 1024x1024 square, it should be 1024x4096 or 1024x8192 long. What can I use to do this?
>>453906Copy paste?
Midjourney , DALLE , Leonardo AI
>>453906you set a larger canvas size...is life that difficult to you?
>>453906
>>453906generate? where?if in graphic program, just change canvas size, if you're asking for game engine, just tile it. If you're asking about generating with ai, kys nigger. If you can't find params on your own and you're asking us without even stating platform, you should really crush your balls with hammer. Otherwise you're welcome.
Not sure if this belongs here but since it's regarding photo manipulation (which counts as graphic design) I might as well try.So I like this genre of edits of women called "Natural/Modular Body Magic", which basically means that they look like they either had their heads magically removed or that they never had any at all but they can live just fine without them (like dullahans), but many of them are pretty shit so I wanted to make some good ones of my own, the problem is that there are no good tutorials online on how to make them, so I was wondering if you guys could guide me on how to make them.Pic related is more or less what I want to achieve, something that looks relatively natural and organic, rather than just a quick and sloppy MS paint job.
>>447446The bottom left one looks best imo. The same color as the skin with correct lighting for the angle, and the sharp clean edge makes it look like a barbie doll or a realistic android from the future. The other ones look like the couldn't actually be something real, just images. If you're going for amputated limb look then the left one in op looks the best.
>>450907pretty cool stuff man
lol i came here from ifunny just to laugh at you
>>454233Why would you admit to using that shithole??
>>447445try buying and taking photos of manikins in the same position as the photos you are editing that way you have some sort of reference. i do think the flat neck looks better then a rounded knob. idk how you woud do the texture on the skin to be honest
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.
>>445759I'm glad that my old post generated so much salt.
>>445757The goal is to have a place I can point clients to when they ask "Do you use AI in your work?".It's a polarizing, nuanced topic - so I wanted to share deeper context and examples of how AI-generated assets can be part of brand identity. For me, AI speeds up the execution phase, unlocking more time for exploration and creating new modes of visual expression that would often be cost-prohibitive for early-stage companies.
>>454445Jesus, are we really going to have AI "designers".
>>454445Makes sense. Whenever I made a logo, I'd want to spend 90% of the time in strategy, instead of execution, but it was very difficult to get people to pay for it. "We just want something simple" well yeah, I can recreate any logo in about 5 minutes but probably a good idea to research if it's a new idea or if there are better ways of doing it rather than going with one of the first 5 iterations.
>>452359it's rather clear example of fucking retard
Hey everyone! I'm new here and i don't really know how this all works but i made my website some time ago now and didn't get much feedback from it, about the design etc...I'm very curious what y'all think about it, what i should change/improve/get rid of/etc...Design-wise but also on the overall, comments on anything is welcome! :) It's a very basic portfolio showing some of my work, still a junior so i don't have much to put in there but i'm working on sub projects to add.Here's the link:https://romain-gerard.com/and thanks in advance :)
looks fine but the images you are using in your projects are low quality.you can get good quality pictures from unsplash.com
>>454408sort projects from newest to oldestdecrease border radius on thingsmake dropshadow on elements more subtle, not black, more like grayish/bluish and blurred a littlenot understanding "new presences" element, might be good to make it more obvious what is it/changing it"3 words to describe myself" sounds like something out of hr talk, I would be seriously considering yeeting this out"Some other competences i like to touch" also kinda sounds strange, it kinda implies that you everyday work with JS, but only occasionally with CSS and HTML Besides that, overaly pretty good portfolio, seems that you're doing things and learning more. Keep it up. As a personal advice, if you wanna learn something, try to learn react/angular and some backend framework like Nest.js or other alikes. Work with node, also learn opsing a little, it's very helpful.

Glyphs are not mine (they're from Didactica), but I did add modern logic to auto-connect letters without need for any macros. I must say, I could barely fit that logic into the font, was I doing something wrong, or modern font formats aren't very well designed for this case?Uppercase ЪЫЬ are absentNumbers are absentOnly essential punctuation marksNo Latin letters (obviously)Works fine in Paint.NET, Inkscape, Windows Font Preview, Firefox, Chromium-based browsers, etc. Does not work in MS Word 2021 and Photoshop 2021.

Looking forward to be a Freelancer Graphic Designer and Blender Artist.I'm a 19 years old male, I decided to not attend to college because In my point of view, it's just not worthy it, paying thousands for something you can learn online. Here is my problem though, I don't know where I should start. I feel like I'm not confident enough, and I don't know many places where I could capitalize over my work.I'm currently working at my family's business, but it's so annoying having to work with public, and being at a family's business doesn't make you feel like you are independent. Which is what I'm looking forward to be.It's been hard since everyone tries to push me into college, because in their mind, college = easy life. And I really don't bother getting minimum wage as long, I'm doing something that I enjoy.
