>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.

Designing a logo for a friend. Company will be named "Level 3". My intent is to make the Lvl (shorthand for "level") look like a 3 on its side.Does that come across as the intent?Is this enough or should I add the 3 (leaning toward the latter)Also looking to jazz this up. Open to ideas.

I'm horrible at designing anything lol I need help creating my clan profile picture... This was was I made and clearly lame and ugly.
This is what one theirs looks like and I just cropped the logo and made the one I posted... if someone could make one for me with my name "Snake" under the logo I will love you forever!!
>>449220You are good at designing
I want to crop ±1000 pictures in multiple sizes for different purposes. (socials, website, so my luddite colleagues don't ask me to do it again and again)You can achieve this in PS with recorded actions I suppose but that would still require a lot of framing. I've found a Figma plugin "hypercrop" that is content aware and seems to do the job.Is there anything else I could use, or how would you take on this challange?
Those online image sites always put a load of metadata in the files.
>>448285It is a figma plugin, does that also apply?I'm absolutely not into file technicalities.

>>447567Finalized.
>>447444Same, Inkscapes always been fairly good although I do have a beefy PC.Most of the crashes I've seen are laptop users who do too much at once.inbf>But all the pro's useFuck you, I make more profit off of not paying $80 a month>Torrent it lolWhy bother? I can easily do the same thing for free without any legal ramifications for me or my business.
>>447567>There we go brehs. Just made my first 200 dollars on InkscapeHow?
>>447840I'm a general brand designer. For this client I also made proposal brochures and company shirts. Just didn't include them because I made them with Indesign and PS.If the startup gets approved I will also be designing their website (separate pay).I can't remember the last time that I just designed a logo.I really recommend learning Indesign and if possible, HTML/CSS/JS. These will open a lot of job opportunities.

Why is AI "art" so suspiciously hyped up by talentless hacks and coomers? It's not even real art, it's just generated from thousands of pre-obtained datas from the artworks of human artists WITHOUT their permission. And yet whenever you see it online, the tasteless niggers would swarm in and praise it like the Second Coming of Christ. (I hate the Antichrist)What are you thoughts on this, anons?
>>448770you proved him right

>>448689I'm confused, are you telling me any resemblance to Steve McCurry's famous 1984 portrait of an Afghan girl is an incredible coincidence?or is it "really good at drawing" in the same sense that a xerox is "really good at drawing" when I feed it a drawing?
>>438102Oh wow, it gives a tool for the darkest instincts of humanity to come up. I'll use this as a tool to keep me as the only vehicle to manifest it, and I'll charge for it!I hope it gets better enough to phase out those fuckers that think are any better to have spent a long time training to be good. Learn to weld
>>438102Your only cope left is user error. The person not knowing 'how to make it better than what your best guy can do in a year' in 45 seconds.Instructions are the key. If you think it's missing something just add it to the prompt. That is why you find yourself unable to articulate exactly what it is that it is missing, you'd be obligated by intellectual honesty to face the facts.-----------------------But to actually answer the question- the best response is that it breaks the concept and practices of intellectual property regulation and so on. Fair use can be stretched so far to where it really is unfair. Most artists should get with it and wake up but if you're greg rutowsky or whatever his name what that carried ai art on his back for like 8 months- maybe he should get SOMETHING. They did use him in kinda a direct way but there is not really a law or mechanism for that right now.
Why won't Kia fix their logo?

>>449019i would send this one to KIA motors
>>449232*I* would *send you* to a school that prepares for jobs that do not require a sense for aesthetics

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.
>>448772>What about video editing? I really like it and it would be fun to work with itThere are literally already AI programs that most youtubers use for this.
>>445798make a profile on shitstagram and post all your work to grow a profile, then clients often come to you
>>445798Just be a woman on social media.
>>445757To adress the fearmongering and depression in this thread: none of this bullshit matters. If you are a graphic designer or programmer that gets replaced by ai, it ultimately doesn't matter. Just look at how many jobs have been replaced back in the day. People will be fine, if you have the power to design or program, you can always hop into the trades. The jobs are as safe as you delude yourself to their inherent instability. Once you see it, you cannot unsee it. Now close this tab, enjoy a clean canvas or write a script or something. Give the crybabies less of your attention.

graphic design essentials? what should everyone read if they have any interest in improving at graphic design?
>>447123That's a terrible cover.Why would you read this crap instead of using your goddamn brain?It's not like we're talking about art here.It's only graphic design, the thing a monkey could do well. >>448243>>448641>>448716These covers are pure shit.It's all so predictable.You already know it all,just think for a second and there it is.
>>449041The cover is beautiful. Mechanistic. You don't know shit about design. Go make some vector art for coffee shops, retard
>>449041God you're fucking insufferable. Design a way to get the taste of my dick out of your mouth, obnoxious faggot

Elements Of Typographic Style
Can anyone with experience explain the optimal steps one should take to making a career out of editing? I have extreme doubts that college is the best course for this career path considering how many film students wind up working at KFC.
>>448224go to job openings
>>447532>step 1>download the software>step 2>use it
In terms of job opportunities, what do you think about Da Vinci Resolve? Or should I stick with Adobe?
>>447532you better get your ass down to AFI get some skills meet some people work enough to get into the unions and have people like working with you to get more gigs.know who my biggest client is? someone i went to school with.guy i know in la whos an editing professional making a living? went to AFI. there ya go lad.
>>447532>learn premiere classroom in a book>learn storyboards>find someone to pay you to edit their filming>?>everybody walks the dinosaurCollege is a scam. If anything, save the money and grind learning the tools and finding someone that needs their products. Whatever you'll learn in college will be too general and you'll get the same effect by reading books, give up the notion you'll become the next Robert Rodriguez, because you won't. Now, a good premiere or after effects operator, that's worth at least enough money to pay for rent and car payments. Maybe you'll die owning your house, but I doubt it.
Is MDE/Sam Hyde's current art style cool or embarrassing? Sincere and naive or ironic?
>>447629You know how they say beauty is a reflection of one’s soul? Well have you seen what his group of friends look like?They’re all ugly looking people, so it shouldn’t be so surprising that the art they produce is of the same nature. I don’t dislike them at all as people it’s just an honest observation.
I mean, it’s not bad, it’s kind of unsettling to look at but not to the point that I just don’t want to look at it. Does it job and reflects Sam’s thing, I guess.
>>447629on the subject of MDE aesthetics, how did the editing team accomplish this analog video effect and have it be in 4K? there's no way its just a filter.
>>447629it looks very web 1.0 of which I approve
