ive been really wanting to do art for album covers or something of that nature for like, predominantly gay shit or trans centric stuff (shoegaze, breakcore, other faggy stuff<3) and i have really no clue where to start. i'm just making fake album covers for the moment but posting them to twitter on my very small acct still feels like throwing them to the void. is it just like everyone else and knowing someone? having a pre-existing following and stuff or is there somewhere to look or something to do??? picrel is a wip of a fake album cover im sketching based on disco elysium and a friend's music but nep-nep is not included
>>454835im sorry. im really trying my best to branch out and do something that isnt my vent art (picrel) and use other media in my works. the girl was just supposed to be silly and not for the actual thing and the picture in the bottom right was for reference. i just feel like scrapping thw whole thing now im sorry
>>454828>>454829>>454830thank you very much, i will try my best.
>>454843This actually has a lot of potential (especially the top image) ; the typesetting needs to be less crowded and more legible and the whole thing could be dialed back a bit to make it more unified and refined and less chicken-scratchy , but its a cool stylistic vibe that would work well for band stuff like posters. Far better than the other image you posted would suggest.
>>454823Maybe you can blow a musician, gaytard. Maybe then they'd let you make some faggy album art for them.

Another US state finally gets a decent flag: Minnesota.
>>454787Beats the "state seal on a blue background" that too many states have.
>>454762and that is a good thing for all of us
>>454762lmao wait until you see South Carolina
>>454757it went from boring and bureaucratic to boring and neo-corporateit's a lateral move
>>454757Old one had some history. This one is 2020s styled simple mess. My eyes get tired from looking at it for more than 10 seconds
Hey /gd/I have a question, if I produce images using illegal versions of Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign, do these images have any metadata that can be tracked to see if they were illegally produced?and how do I remove such metadata, I tried googling this shit but it doesn't come up with any real answers on this topicI'm just getting to the point of completing my 4th as well as 5th gd project for my portfolio and want to upload them all to Behance but also still not cause any problems for potential employers.thanksAlso post your questions/queries
>>453550Here are some examples. The left and right balls use the same exact masks. Only difference is, the balls on the right are using basic black and white for shading. Which of course looks like ass. And the left balls are using my set up. Notice how it clings onto saturation and shifts hues.
Beginner here, how do I generate this effect in Photoshop?
>>444142apologies if I'm on the wrong board, 3dgd didnt seem like the right place for his.Is there any software that could allow me to easily perform pic rel?I and puppeteering all the images and using a screen recorder on the main, parent media at the moment. It works, but I wonder if there is an easier way
any places where you can find designs for flyers, posters, brochures as inspo that are actual real world examples, and not just a copllection of "portfolio works" that would never go past a client? I know behance has some, anything else?
>>454440oh what the fuck, deja vu
form an artistic viewpoint
>>454479why are they Jews?

How can I overlap these maps so that they have perfectly the same borders? Is it even possible, regardless how (hand or AI).
Image 2
Image 3These three images are a few of 30. They are meant to give the idea.
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.
>>454694mostly math, chemistry and physics regarding graphic products + photography processes (taking a picture with a camera, getting a negative, developing it on film, etc. + stuff like cyanotypes, pinhole cameras, anthotypes)also a class with some blender 3D modelling but that's about iti'm kind of split on it honestly, never worked a day in my life and actually my thing is called "graphic technician" which is even more useless than graphic design loli also have mechanics which i failed last semester and i'm either gonna pull it over to next year and struggle with it or try to somehow learn that shit just to pass it this autumni don't even know manthere are some courses where you do photoshop and illustrator and stuff but i didn't choose them, although there are some mandatory ones later on that do the same thingnext year is typography and printing press, mostly, from what i heari feel lost cuz like there's all these people around me who works in graphic studios as apprentices in the making or like do photography outside of college or some shit, a buncha different stuff and i'm just kinda trotting along and passing (most) of my classesi have no friends or colleagues from university so it kinda sucks in that aspect, too, i travel a lot and i feel lonely and depressed about it (should go to my shrink and take my anti-depressives again)i'm wondering if it's just better to go like get a job or trade of some sort and do that instead
>>454715>mostly math, chemistry and physics regarding graphic productswhen i say this, i mean stuff like optics in physics, math is your usual calc 1 that i did last semester and now calc 2, it'll continue into calc 3 and 4 which is a bit difficult but my college is kinda lax on it and i think i'll pass it finethe chemistry for this semester is really fucked though, organic chem and its use in stuff like boundary surfaces and coatings + paintthe teacher is really old and sick, sometimes just doesn't show up to class and it's such a lol thing, i think i'll just memorize most things and get some instructions for the harder, non-theory tasks but eh
Worked 5 years as a graphic motion designer in an agency in Paris and got tired of this shit. Oversaturated field mean you have to be competitive and that mean adding skills endlessly. I was a print designer, then I had to do UX and web, then learned motion and a bit of 3D, next I had to learn Unreal Engine, that’s when I called quit. Why the fuck should I work even during my free time, mantain a portofolio, learn new tricks like a monkey to earn just enought to pay rent and food. Now enjoying my needbucks, will see what I do when the free money stop.
>>452441>User Interface>User eXperiencebasically what "design" is, but rebranded so uncreative, data-driven retards can claim to be designers.
>>454715Stick with it. Push through and don't drop out. Just get your head in the game and focus on your studies and learning.Don't worry about your peers and compare your progress to theirs. If you're feeling lost about everyone around you seemingly succeeding, who says you couldn't pick up an internship or unpaid work experience at a studio, agency, press, etc while you study. Just cold call or email them. It'll help you feel less despondent and even if nothing comes of it, why not just try and apply some of your learnings into personal art projects to build some kind of portfolio to use for your next work prospect. Having a technical edge to graphics and design puts you well ahead of many in the industry where all they know is how to use online design software and a working knowledge of photography and not a lot else.

I have learned many things throughout my life, and i feel like i have never come across something so difficult for my nogging to go through as drawing. I cannot conceive how people get any joy from the learning process that i'm thinking i'm straight up built incapable of learning this trade. It's not like i can't brute force it or anything, but it feels like such a humiliating ritual to trace, copy, do and redo this over and over again, feels like my brain is simply blocking me to a point where i don't want to even try due to how hard it pales in comparasion to good drawings made by veterans. How do i learn this shit?I really need a light right here.
>>454797what do you want to hear, exactly?if you can't even stand the idea of spending time drawing then stop wasting time doing it...>go watch some tiktok or youtube instead, I guess. that shit will provide the hit you are craving.also. how about keeping such questions to ic, genius?

>>454526You need Glyphs or FontLab.
looking for Phonk Sans family
>>446976anyone know what font this is?looks similar to the Jolt Cola logo.the 'font identifier' tools aren't really helping.
Is it retarded to use fountain pens?
>>454790did you not even read the post, my man?
>>454733I think that it's just a correlation with neurological issues. The real thread might just be neurodivergence since a normal person would not be such a devilish deviant as to use a primitive method of putting down ink.>>454728Same, I like the effortlessness of putting down the lines and the finality of each stroke.
>>454831Most of the comments I've seen of those kinds of people commenting on it had almost nothing to do with actually using the pens for putting ink on paper, and almost everything to do with the pens and related inks themselves being a perfect outlet for fixating on in a semi- healthy manner, and also to satisfy compulsive urges to collect and organize them andvengage in the ritualistic aspect of loading and cleaning them and disassembly/reassembly.Where ink on paper is even mentioned its usually still in that context, obessively fixating on the color or sheen...the act of writing or drawimg is mostly just a means to that end, or an afterthought.
>>454832I don't think you've ever tried a fountain pen before and seen how they differ from ballpoint pens. I think they're especially good for the few of those who write in cursive
>>454833How the fuck do you conjure up that bullshit based on anything said in the post your are responding to?I've owned and used plenty of fountain pens, as well as Rapidographs and other specialized ink pens like picrel for drafting and calligraphy and other artwork since back before you were born.
I have a very simple question, I hope I'm not on the wrong board.I have a book in pdf form (pic related) and I want to print it out and bind it, but I want to move the text of the left pages to the left and the text of the right pages to the right. How do I do that? I downloaded Foxit PDF Editor but it doesn't have that option.
I'd probably start by getting the PDF into InDesign, making sure the pages are laid out correctly, and then try setting up a script that moves content for each odd and even page.Quick look at https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/scripting.html makes me believe it won't be too hard of a job
>>454556>>/lit/
>>454563actually i think you could likely right a script (or use the script writer in Ps that copies your steps), in phooshop, that 1 loads image/pdf. 2 uses two selection boxes to crop each side (capturing each text page evenly. 3 exports each selection as ither image or pdf. after that you could use indesign, illustrator or photoshop to drop all those into a series of layouts. doable.
>>454556looks like it's a scanned pdf, imagemagick can easily do what you need, if you have trouble scripting ask chatgpt
Well, one solution would be to use Paged.js, which is not as hard as it seems desu, can use the css variables @left-page { text-align : left}@right-page { text-align : right}or something similar
what software do you use to design your own custom notebook pages?
>>454822Microsoft PowerPoint and LibreOffice Impress. I know there are better ways, but I sold my brain on etsy.I like to use the templates on here https://www.lulu.com/create/notebooksThe book creation template stuff comes with a neat pdf guide. It's aimed at people who want to make books though.
>>454822>https://www.lulu.com/create/notebookscool site, looks like they have calendar stuff too, not sure if it will fit on A5 paper but i'll check
>>454825was for >>454824 , obviously
do any of you guys draw, like regular normal drawing? post your drawing?
>>432082thats crazy, reminds me of terriblegodlike on instagram, you do any graffiti ever?
>>449794Didn’t use any reference for that one, but there’s a lot in Pinterest. Just takes a while to train the algorithm to return useful stuff
>>448835Learn the names of the main bones and muscles. Proko yt channel is perfect and he tells it like it is. He knows the main artists and interviews them. There’s no easy way.
