>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.

Google Hackers movie wallpaper.
Google uses this particular style of illustration a lot, does it have a name? How do i destroy it?
>>385067Kill yourself.
It's just flat design, which I hope never goes out of style because I can't draw and this is the only style I'm capable of producing.
>>385147lmao, I bet you are not and that's why you can't recognize the screencap's greatness.
I don't like it because any lazy "designer" can do it. No need to study proportion or anything related to art. It really hurts my eyes as there is nothing to focus on, just flatness everywhere with oversaturated colors only bearable with the occasional use of pastel colors and textures. Proportion is hard, shading is hard, studying nature is hard, mediocrity is always there to carry you.
>>385104That guy is very wrong about how Bauhaus (the actual school) came to be and what the founder's intentions were. If anything (and if you want to be pretentious about it), the guiding principle behind Bauhaus was to re-conceptualize art as the Aristotelian techne, meaning that it sought to re-unify artistry with craftsmanship.The fact that the Bauhaus style (especially in the visual arts) ended up looking like someone's first session in MS Paint doesn't change that the idea behind it wasn't anti-traditionalist at all, let alone fucking postmodern.
started getting into graphic design.made this sticker.
Looks pretty cool but im not getting any anger vibes from it.
>>384866Looks dope, but >>385207 is right, doesn't feel very angry.
>>384866Had to squint for anger. Why a gradient?
Awesome
The word anger is really cringe end tryhard.
So I drew this up in Gimp, how do I make it look less like pixel art? Should I just put a bit of a blur on top of it?
god damn i love this drawing OP
use thinner lineart, aka retrace it, shading+lighting, better understanding of colors. if you were trying to make it to look realistic. not sure what you were aiming for though. also fire alpaca is a good a better art software
>>384911it looks nice to me
the pixels give it personality
>>384911USE AA dummy
Is Kel Lauren based or cringe?https://youtu.be/U76nIDJQcxQ

>>385335whatever man. you're clearly upset that you weren't able to get a job in GD and blame it on political agenda even though that's probably not the case whatsoever.
>>385335>t. a fucking climate change denying graphic designer sperging about a youtuber's politics
>kel lauren btfoI asked on ig how she felt about bernie sanders dropping out of the race and she blocked me
This is for a Transport company. Theyve been using this logo I made for more than 3 years and I wish to improve it.
>>385370Oops
>>385378I removed a Serif from the left side of the L
>>385370Make the arrows a little bit more spaced and more flared at the ends. that way it's easier to tell those are arrows.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOjEXo7Q9LgChange my mind.
>>385107Great line animations. Did you use After Effects for it? I'll wait for your next one.
>>385260noob herewhat's the swiss way of making things?they use grids based on maths no?
>>385353Broadly speaking it's a very strict, rule-based approach to design: extensive use of grids and guidelines, geometric shapes and typefaces. If you wanna look into it I'd suggest picking up Massimo Vignelli's book (The Vignelli Canon) or just researching someone like Paul Rand and his work. It's one of the most popular and solid approaches to design. It is a bit "old fashioned", but there's still a lot of content around it.
>>385360i think massimo and his contemporaries would say it was simple, not strict. and organized, not rule based.
>>385107I like the sound bleed on your voice or the music. Confirm if its on your voice audio
>go to userstyles because I became tired of the eyesore that is yotsuba b>see page after page of more eyesoreWhy do channers have such shit taste?Now I'm going to have to make my own styesheet.
How was this image made? Is this rotoscoped with a grain filter? Is this just their animation style?
>>384972city scape behind subject may be taken from a real image but def noty rotoscoped. rotoscope as a term typically associated with animation.
it's a traced composite.
>>384972There is a filter who can do this. But its to clean that the filter can do this. I guess it gets filter to surfaces and then revised. Filters are not this good. Unless you have a super clean photo to work with.
>>385105the colors are most likely manual adjusted, surface per surface.
>>384972its /3/ go ask them
Post your best work>picrelated
