DUDE OLD SCHOOL AMERICA LMAO
>this is what it takes to make in graphic design

My design sensibilities differ from his a bit, but he's so gregarious and passionate that it's hard not to like him, at least as a person. I'd love to have him as a teacher. His Cobra Dogs logo is super cool.

>>309761
I mean, it's no different from geeking out over anything else. It's just that his passion happens to tie into his work, and Americana design is constantly getting torn down in favor of design schlock. He genuinely cares about preserving this part of American design history; how else could you explain all his projects to digitize and preserve it?

>>311236
Why on Earth would you do that? Don't do it. How much I wish I had the technical knowledge to do what you're working so I could leave this shit field.

>>311252
Why not? Every field is shit. Programmers are treated like factory workers nowadays. I feel like I would be better off doing design work. Maybe i should find something in between, idk.

>>311253
Because a software architect has double the salary. So if you're wasting 8 to 10 hours a day, then at least make it profitable.

It's completely possible. However, you might be using a colorspace (or swatch) that doesn't work well as well with gradients. IE - CMYK can perform poorly in this regard.

>>311129
Alright I switched my settings to RGB and it seems to be working better. Thanks
Is there anything I should be wary of going forward though? I'm pretty ignorant of the program.

>>311131

Glad it helped. :)

As to "is there anything else going forward"... well, maybe 100's of things. Watch some vids and read the manual. Seriously. Read the manual. It really does help.

Once you're much better with Illustrator, you'll be able to more easily determine if the problem is the software, or your methods - which will give you an easier path to finding the solution. :)

another one

I will bump!

You have a lot of conflicting messages (images, image treatment, font, colours all say different things mostly).

It is unsuccessful imho. Looks impressive to casuals because of the layout and contrast, but I know that you know it's not very good 'design'.

To improve: Really think about what everything your doing is doing. Why add soft blobs to an image where the rest of the cover says 'evil, hot, dark, devil'? Why add an image of a forest scene? Is every piece of information equally important around the edge? Or is the name and title more important? What the fuck is there an instagram link for?

you can probably get some one-offs from people who want their fan art. but i bet you could sell a bunch of those at once to a company if you did their logo

Looks like it would be hard to size an image on such a wide surface because keyboards are huge rectangles

pretty neat

can you show me some other things your company has printed?

>>311133
good question , now iam using windows but i will start master this winter in media and digital desgin , i should by mac?

He was referring to Big Macs, you idgit. Because you see, that's where designers end up at. At McD's.

The world needs less Parallax.. so this is a good thing.

>>311167
This. The scrolling feels very heavy on my gaymer machine and the effects are nauseating with all the delay.

You're supposed to use it very subtly for page / article header and maybe some muted colored backgrounds for visual divider elements at very most.

>>311167
>>311168
Just plan on using it for my portfolio page headers, nothing too crazy. I'm not a web dev or anything, just a logo and print designer.

Try this:

I know this guide, and it did not help.. but thanks anyways

To me this kind of shit tends to happen when PS, especially with art-boards larger than 3000x3000px has has allocated a lot of RAM and has not been used for a while and somehow suddenly has to load up everything from disk cache but never fully due to it's shittiness, so nothing but restart of the application helps.

>>310075
so that's what you faggots designers call work
>just for fun
give me a break you pathetic loser

One more, if I may.
The legs look kind of weird when crossed and I don't know if it's meant to be like that or if there's something I can do to improve it.

>>310970
I have no idea but I'm interested too

>>310955
>Hi guys, do you know where can I get ZBrush for mac for free? I'm tired of finding it only for widows -.-
ty mate!

The answer depends upon how you wish to present the presentation... a video, and a PP slideshow, are two totally different things and each requires it's own methods.

>>310867
Oh I see. It will be a video, but since I thought of the video part as a series of slides (text and images) with some effects in between, my mind inmediately went to powerpoint. To mix it with some real video parts and the sound part I was going to use premiere anyways, but the tricky part is the one where I animate text and images to make the "slides", which reminded me of after effects.
I'm open to any kind of suggestion really.
