Hey there Anons. I usually redesign my website once a year, and this year I'm thinking to do a grey scale Geocities style site with early 2000s forum style buttons (think Gamestop forums, etc) that are slight highlighted like the icons next to the 'New' text in this link:https://www.webmenumaker.com/menu-linux.htmlCombined with the fact that I want the menu to be just a simple menu on the left side of the screen, should I opt to do all the buttons as just images in GIMP accordingly? Where could I learn how to do old school Geocities style buttons as well? Also, I'm thinking the grey scale of the site would be something similar to this site as well: https://antialias.se/ Thanks.
>>420721BUMP
Use a web archive like wayback machine, look through site assets and learn from them. :)
>>420762Thanks Anon, good idea. Will do.
Use gifcities, search for some gifts, then click on them, it will bring you to an archived neocities website. I usually type home or next page and that gives me good results
I think this pic needs an update. Maybe remove Myspace and add instagram. Can you guys pleas do it? If you want to add another social web or page feel free to do it. What do you think?

hi /gods/i was a bit curious to how you have built your portfolio websites.. i had a website years ago and was happy with using Indexhibit, but I see it is no longer active. What are some good CMS thats easy and slick to use for portfolio websites?
>>421081I’d show you my portfolio but I’d immediately get doxxed. I used Squarespace and just made it look nice lol
indexhibit is gone?damn . . .
Should graphic designers be proficient at drawing and painting?
Before it was a must but nowadays because work gets diversified we have a graphic designer and an illustrator, and there is no real need to excell at both, but it will give you versatility.
>>418669>shouldstopped reading
>>418805>anytime your hands make something, you're instantly replaceableIt's funny because the opposite is true.
>>418669no, but being proficient in draftmanship? yes.
>>418805imagine getting owned by pajeets in gd
Would you consider the middle color to be yellow or orange?
>>420222its a variation of brownfacts

>>420222piss in your mouth go look in the mirror and open your mouth and look
>>420222orangei mean how is this even yellow
>>420222it's halfway between. i think it's safe to call it mango
How does one make "art" like this?More specifically the lighting and bloom?I was thinking Illustrator but some of these look more 3DArtist is Dave Chenellhttps://thewaterbear.com/
>>420929A couple of days maybe
>>420929Less than 1. I'll make one before the end of the day.
>>421125ok its like this right?
>>421127Well dang that's fantastic, and saved as a reference for my webcomic, thanks.
>>421153Thanks anon! I don't know the correct art-school way to achieve what this illustrator does so I don't really want to downplay how cool it does look, but I know that in photoshop you can mess with gradients, light layers and glow effects super easily, which is how you get really cool ghostly mountains and stuff.
How do I recreate this sort of uneven star in Illustrator, possibly with instructions on also how to adjust the number of points in the star if I want to?

ITT: we post the mid- & late 2000s aesthetics.Anything between 2003 and 2012 is welcome here.THIS IS NOT A Y2K THREADDO NOT POST Y2K HEREWhile yes, those two aesthetics may overlap, y2k already has its own thread, so post blatant y2k stuff (i.e. anything from between 1996 to 2002) there instead.>>393698

Safdie brothers movies really capture this too
>>413774what about stuff that isn't a movement/trend, but more of an archetype that you see manifest here and there across artists and eras and mediums? unnamed vibes that you think only *you* love
>>421140There are a few visual trends/styles of that nature that I like, but I don't know how to describe them or what term I could use. What are yours?

Hey guys, I have to design a magazine for school and I've created a mockup so long. I've never done a magazine before so I'm unsure about the composition. It's meant to be a double-page spread of a band and I decided to go with a funky magazine. Any tips or advice?
>>421055If its for a school maker sure whatever you are printing on can support full bleed and trimming. Otherwise but a white border along the outside on purpose.
move the large photo to the left page.put the actual copy in there instead of the lorem ipsum bullshit. need to see all the widows, rivers, rags/line breaks, etc.the colors arent great. its a ll a bit too muted and muddy. print it out or simply view it in b&w, and you'll see what i mean.the 'ocean alley' type is weak. where the hell is your grid. you need a grid.
>>421111its just a mockup i made in Photoshop. its supposed to be super rough. but i appreciate the advice, ill keep it in mind
What are good names for my graphic design business?
>>420857Don't Call It That - Eli AltmanRead that book.
>>420857Bro you are the guy who should tell other people what a good name for there business is.

the fasces is decent but leaves more to be desired, it's too complex as a symbol and it's minimalist variants usually defeat the purpose of the image- bundle of rods signifying unity.however the problem is that the name is derived from the symbol, so i doubt a concession can really be made for it.

I'm retarded and can't find any answers on my own, what is the name of this kind of 80's design?
I think was saved by the bell
>>419917I have been searching for an artist/illustrator who uses very similar shapes in his works from around the same era. Does anyone know who he/she is?
>>419919Lol, thank you anon. I had a customer ask me to make them one of these last week, and I kinda did, but I had no idea what I was doing.
>>421106That looks like Gary Baseman, great artist, he did the Disney show Teacher's Pet as well as the box art for Cranium. This is really more of an art question than a design question, imo, as an expat of /co/.
>>421108Wow, thanks, Anon!I was actually looking for this book, but I knew the artwork had to have been done by the same artist when I saw the box art.>This is really more of an art question than a design question, imo, as an expat of /co/.Yeah, sorry about that! When I saw OP's image which reminded me of Baseman, I just had to ask.
