Is MDE/Sam Hyde's current art style cool or embarrassing? Sincere and naive or ironic?
>>453518Does Sam even do motion gfx anymore? Seems like he juat pays other people to do it now.
>>447629The stock is definitely in a downward trajectory. Only held up by sam being good at avoiding mainstream memes - these always die in cringe within long.He still slips up, like when he allows his team to dub the massively overrused black man exaggerated laugh audio (the "oh no no no" one) into his videos.Sam just isn't cutting edge any more, and he only focuses on perfecting what he sees as the peak of his aesthetic, and his advice giving internet dad persona. We don't need more of those. The only funny thing he's done in the last 5 years is the video from the boxing fight where he says he's coming for Hasan Piker "in real life"
>>447629World Peace graphics are still some of the best I've ever seen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kT8vPNsrACo
>>453813I forgot to mention the saddest part, these graphics were what Sam submitted that he made with Pomp&Clout but all the text and WP logos were erased and only the cast names left. Sad stuff.

How are some people getting paid 191k and I barely get 65k a year in a large Midwest city anons
>>452989i get paid cuz i make great design decisions that people appreciate, bbnot cuz i may or may not use photoshop
>>452961the bridge between coding and design is so small,, YOU CAN DO IT!
>>453352lol, no but yes
>>453000>great design decisions that people appreciateAnd that appreciation translates to barely $65k. How do you market yourself and do you keep up with competitors/economic trends?
>midwestYou live in the Eastern Europe of the Americas, retard.
You went to school for graphic design because it's your passion. Did you end up as a "Graphic Designer", or something else? How's that working out?
>School>Graphic Design Degree>Successfullol
>>453641I mean, at least looking at my former classmates, maybe 10% of them (including myself) ended up making a living in the industry? Shit odds, but it works for some
>>453621In my experience the most succesful designers/art students are the ones prone to globohomo culture and will work for corporations because the biggest added value of art school is not the skillset but the networking.
How do I rotate this shit (I'm using a MacBook)
>>453735have you tried turning your device 90 degrees?
>>453735How new are you to this? The rotate button is literally in your screenshot.
what softwares do you use to create diagrams and documents and shit like that? like create custom reusable components, position them on a grid, custom page sizes, a pdf document, mix text and images, stuff like that

Hello /gd/ I am coming here with a request today. Can you guys help me find the original picture and the original drawing of these 2 demo's from a French band called Peste Noire? I have been trying to find the original ones for a while now and I have not been able, using Google and Yandex, I even contacted someone who had the original tapes, but sadly they sold them by the time I asked him for the scans. Thanks for your time and effort! I really appreciate it!
>>453834Okay OP, all I have to do is apply my magical de-filter brush onto the pic and you'll be able to reverse image search the orginal in no time!
>fellow designer and I were assigned to assist with designing some banners in Figma>Fellow designer’s title is technically “Art director” so she often feels like she’s the senior or leader despite us sharing the same role on this project>I make a set of banners>next morning I find out she adjusted the headlines on most of my banners>she has a tendency to do this on past projects we’ve worked on with FigmaIs this normal when working with Figma or is my coworker just being a cunt? I wouldn’t be so annoyed by her edits if they were actually good, but every design edit or suggestion she’s made was always poorly received. If I tell her a blend mode should be set to “Lighten” to get a certain look, she’ll say it should be set to “screen”. Then the next day she realizes it should be “lighten” after all. I’ve found her moving some elements into the bleed area of certain templates, just because I guess she thought it looked better, but obviously she didn’t bother to look up the specs of the template.
>>452395order of hiring is irrelevantif shes he director shes the fucking directorher changing shit is not a conflict with you, its just how she thinks it should goi would suggest asking her why she made the changes she made - in a totally nonconfrontational style (to learn, to get projects flowing better, etc)why is she the last person to touch something before its delivered? so sounds like she is in fact the director.if not, you need to talk to someone over both your heads abut clearing the heirarchy up.ORComment too long.

>>452361can Figma replace illustrator?I'm so fucking done with Adobe
>>453148Depends on what you are using it for. Generally no. I was hoping the graphics tools would have improved if the Adobe merger went through.
>>453149this is the thing that pissed me off the most about that sale falling through. Figma's holes would be improved so so so much if adobe had taken over and implemented things they have perfected.
>>452361hahit takes 2 women to make some banners!??!imagine my shock
These Ai programs are taking our jobs! How are we going to stop the Adobe Illustrator files from taking over?
I'm new at life. Can I just drag and drop PDFs or images or something from InDesign into a Microsoft 365 PowerPoint so I can actually use cool type faces and interesting lines and curved text and shit?I've been searching how to do this, but all the sites do all kinds of complicated things where the exported files have to be converted or show up as links in the PP.I'm new at everything and so scared it will fail during the day I present :....( :o
>>453775>so I can actually use cool type faces and interesting lines and curved text and shit?You can't do that in InDesign?
who the hell designed the 4chan banners, they are so simple yet so funshare some of your favorites
>>452295does anyone have that one where it says in graffiti "FO CHAN" and its a nigger next to it
>>453703Fixed
The one with Calvin.
Anybody know how to recreate the circle pattern of this goreshit album in photoshop?
>>453174look up halftone effect
>>453174>come to this board for first time>its 99% AI cucks>the other 1% is actual retards asking shit like "where do I download this pattern" and the pattern is polka dot halftonegood board guys
>>453183>goes on board meant for graphic design>goes on a thread asking how to remake said patternalmost like its question about a design...in graphics...actual retard
>>453174so when i started i would either use a halftone brush in photoshop, which are generally pretty easy to find, or define my own pattern and mess with it's scaling on my project. hope this helps
How is Affinity Photo standing against Adobe Photoshop? At what level do I notice difference? I really like their pay-once thing.Yes I know I can just crack Photoshop.
>>452730cool! thank you!
>>452732No worries :)
Looking to get Affinity just because it has iPad apps, and before you shoot me, hear me out.Trained in Adobe same as everyone, I use desktop PC 100%, not even in the apple ecosystem. However this week I found myself have to leave the house to work and have to bring my sffpc (built for this) to go to a family's house to work with their monitor. This situation has for the first time make me look into a tablet/laptop. However, I don't see myself using it that much but I would like the option, so the fact that the ipad can double as fun shit is making me consider it.Anyway the fact that Adobe is full subscription makes me sick and I can't crack it on the ipad I don't think and they don't even have InDesign which I need more than video editing apps.So give it to be straight /gd/bros, is an iPad w/ M chip w/ Affinity apps a viable portable option when one can't access a desktop?
>>452680>How is Affinity Photo standing against Adobe Photoshop?Poorly. Its mostly the pay once policy that keep people attached.Sure its not bad software and majority of Photo guys will be ok with it. But when you are using Photoshop for couple of years and then switch to this, you can feel the downgrade.
>>452680It was a good alternative to photoshop for quick work, but given Adobe copyrighting techniques and tools, good luck making it big against Adobe copyright trolling everyone.
Why is this program so fucking... I don't know, "retarded by default"? I made a 30kx30k transparent canvas. I have a bunch of 1920x1080 screenshots I want to stitch together. Does 10% zoom and that size look like it dropped a 1920x1080 image into a 30kx30k grid? No, it doesn't. The fucking thing apparently thinks in terms of pixels per inch or something, perhaps because it tuned towards printing viewed at a certain distance (?), not raw pixels. So when I place a 1080p screenshot, into a grid of a certain and explicitly specified dimension in the unit of PIXELS not INCHESxPPI, it fucks it all up. Rescales text, all manner.Seriously, what is this bullshit. I recall searching for how to make this work as expected some time ago, and don't recall getting anywhere. Go to do something real quick a moment ago, realize again. If I have a 1000x1000 canvas then I should be able to line up 10 100x100 image chunks and have them render exactly as they were screenshotted. No pixels per inch, no pixel aspect ratio, no viewing distance, no bullshit.This has to be simple to fix and I'm just retarded or something. GIMP etc behaves as expected, but I'm not fond of it overall.
>>453753I've stated my problem pretty clearly imo. Pic related is wrong. I put a 1920x1080 image into a canvas, and this is what it gave me. That's not 1920x1080.
>>453755
You are indeed retarded, but no worries.Create 10 000 px x 10 000 px new canvas with 72 DPI (no more is needed).Open your screenshot in a new window and check its dimensions and DPI. If its 1920x1080 and 72 DPI as screenshot should, you can ctrl + a ctrl + c and ctrl + v on your big canvas and IT MUST WORK. If indeed your screens are 1920x1080 and 72 dpi, you can all drag them from folder now and organise it.
>>453768I believe I tested this last time, I will do so again. My intention is basically just something which is lossless, ie bitexact, with respect to the input on a pixel lvel. Not a visual level. If I were to drop the image in then go in and crop it out later it should be exactly 1920 x 1080p. I'll test it again. I'm going to be overlaying a lot of images using the transparency aspect to line them up precisely, and stupid shit like this doesn't help anything. I'm trying to make a case for it in my mind, but cannot do so. Drag and drop an image, it should be precisely the same as the input. No PPI / "dots per inch" (literally WHY) shit about it, I neither know nor give half a fuck, I'm working in PIXELS. Not DOTS or VIEWING DISTANCE. I don't know or give a shit about my or any display's pixel density. I want 1920x1080 in 1920x1080 out, those are PIXELS.UGH.AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHWHY ARE THEY ALL LIKE THIS.
>>453771Alright, venting complete. I feel better now.72 PPI seems to produce the expected result, just by eye. I'd read prior that this was some sort of standard display / "web" resolution, but in my tests with text it still clearly resampled it. Don't know what was going on then, but eh. Thanks for the replies.
I have zero technical skill and zero artistic training but I made this in 1 just 1 minute. How over is it for you?
>>453743dont talk shit about this banner
>>453748> your local airport, USPS, Microsoft, IKEA, Timex, CoinbaseThanks for confirming that you are speaking about GD work that you have no personal experience with whatsoever.>will outsource things to AI.Thanks also for confirming that you have zero reading comprehension skills and don't even know what "outsource" means.There's nothing about picrel that a mildly intelligent person couldn't compose in house on a desktop PC, and nothing about it that would cause a reasonable potential user/ customer to avoid it based on it somehow conveying a sense of unprofessionalism or other red flags...it's boring, but boring works in the context of financial services.It's exactly the kind of GD that proves the point that designers tend to be up their own asses when it comes to assessing their own value and necessity for using them at all.Finally, even if they were dumb enough to pay an exorbitant amount for their logo, if you think the real grunt work at the agency wasn't done by low wage peons throwing shit against the wall and then when something stuck polished some more by low wage grunts and only then handed over by the suits who get all the credit and big money, you're even more ignorant than it would seem at first glance.
>>453767Now show the entire branding package and the hundreds of collateral assets that went along with the logo. Idiot.
>>453767And let's not forget Coinbase has its own typeface called "Coinbase Sans" with multiple weights and worldwide language support. You're a double idiot.
>>453557The problem with comparing AI-generated images and human art together is that there is a lot of control you don't really have when it comes to AI generated outputs. If you try to create new images of her in a new setting, like an exterior setting, or a new pose, is it possible for you to retain that exact same woman in that exact same outfit holding that exact same dagger?
