Alright, I was able to figure out a guess by myself if anyone's interested.
I used trapcode form and mapped the Z displacement to the source layer. Then messed with the fractal displacement to jump around in sync with the music
It doesn't look very clear in pic related but I think that's because I'm just throwing it together quickly and guessing

>>311094
trapcode form

Wow, a decent thread in /gd/, nice. I wish I had more to contribute. How much c4d do you use OP?

in ze old country you do shit like this for 4 years in the 'graphics' programme at the national art academy

>>312200
It's art, not graphic design.

Your professor would have every right to draw those distinctions, as this illustration has nothing to day-to-day branding, and probably was a one-off.

>Baskerville
Baskerville seen prwetty good

>>312105
Yeah, that's a given.
Baskerville, Futura, Helvetica and Palatino are inbuilt, the rest are custom.

E-Z money. Believe it or not, there's a small chance that some stupid client will actually select the worst possible solution. I know this because I've used 99dicks in the past.

It kind of looks like a latin communist manifesto at the moment. It's pretty cool though and I like the title type.

Adjust your spacing between N and K, seems a bit close.

If you want to keep this pen name, perhaps have it smaller, in black, aligned bottom right. Try both all caps and without. I would have a go myself but going to bed.

I know most 4channers hate reddit, but their graphic design subs are pretty good for critique. Lot's of industry pros compared to what I see here

Bait thread/10

Because someone can have a good idea like "Good design makes a product useful", and suck so bad at implementing it that they make a couch entirely out of barstool cushions.

The top of any creative field is literally always rich faggots and jews circlejerking each other off—STOP looking up to them or trying to make sense of the situation if you ever hope to succeed.

Most of today's graphic designers only know how to use adobe and don't really understand what "good design" is.

If it's what you need, then great! You don't have high expectations for what the thing you're doing calls for, so you can't be let down that it looks kind of ugly.

You can improve it with a higher-resolution photo of the beer glass (without a hand), a gaming controller, and maybe a prettier font.

>>312269
The arm stretches through both the black and white background... poor choice. Looks amateur. Either:
-expand the circular logo to encapsulate the arm
-shrink the arm/beer to fit within the confines of the logo (really, kind of the same as above)

Choose a different font. Too "Star Trek-ish". Blur the text a bit to show the impairedness. Blur the arm while you're at it.

although title font has that gaymer vibe it's hard to read, probably because it doesn't work well when distorted into a shape of arch

red-black color scheme is too dark and aggressive, gayming shitfaced while calling everyone a dumb nigger is a wholesome activity. try something like blue--white--orange/brownish-yellow.

use paths / select -> modify tools / select -> color range in photoshop to do a better job with cutting out the photograph.

you can mask out / erase lower part of the hand using a large smooth brush.

and apply some color correction and curves/levels layer to make the photograph look better color and brightness vise. apply them as clipping masks to your cut out photograph layer so they don't affect the graphics / text underneath.

I hope you told them to pay you upfront.

>>311214
I didn't. They were so smooth about it telling me it was just part of their hiring process that I believed them and thought this was an industry standard.

>>311218
send the designs with watermarks or just use common sense and search for the company's info online.

pirated eh?

Adobe products are easy to use and have created lots of fake designers.

Design degrees these days are basically 3 years of adobe lessons and a few papers.

Many people with design degrees can't even draw.

It's making the world an uglier place, lowering the industry standard for what good design should be.

The design schools pumping out hack designers who can only use adobe for everything are profiting though,

Don't think of the degree.
What kind of job do you want to do? Find the degree that fits.

Design is all about problem solving. Creativity = problem solving. Knowing the elements of design + aesthetic + POV + experience puts you in a position to be a good designer. Knowing the technical aspects + the foundational information of design needs to be embedded in your subconscious.

So, what you need to be "passionate" for is absorbing the world, how it / people work and how to use this to solve problems and communicate your approach and findings for clients.

Hold on to that passion as long as possible, when you are older with experience, it is discipline and wisdom that will drive you through. Good luck.

If you feel a sway towards this direction, go for it, the world always needs great minds.

>real passionate for art, culture, etc

Graphic design typically does not have much to do with that. It's a meme idea that is encouraged by graphic design schools to get more students.

>creative person
The majority of graphic designers are hacks that would have never been able to get into the industry without adobe making their jobs easier. They like to deny this even though the majority can't even draw.
