Id imagine a decade ago it was important, and two decades ago essential. But now whatever your using can be automatically calculated. Still helpful to know basics though.

If you're obsessive with your layouts, yeah. And you should be obsessive about layout. But even then, it's mostly geometry, fractions and conversions. All of which can be done on a calculator. If you've got solid spacial reasoning skills, you should be fine even if you suck at math like I do.

No, 0% Math beyond the ability to use a calculator

Premiere.

>>307340
Premiere pro, boi.

>>307340
there's usually a video thread at /p/ but for questions probably /gd/ or /wsr/

also premiere is better but it depends of what you want to make usually after effects cc is recommended for visual effects

something I was told to ask employers at the end of an interview is this:
"Do you have any doubts about my ability to do this job that you would like me to address?"
if they say no, then you should be good, but if they say yes, you have the chance to defend yourself and make clear why you're a fit for the job.
I also assume you have a portfolio for all of your graphics? if not, you can upload everything into a google drive folder and just give potential employers the link to it.

Thanks for this.

>>307111
Wow, that's good. Thanks! I always usually just ask "What makes your favorite employees?"

I hope you have experience with Photoshop. Futura is very popular right now. Assymetrical, abstract shapes, abnormal composition

Meant to type Illustrator

Vector graphics ain't my shit, raster is more my thing. I'll try to stick to the asymmetrical dealio

What do you need?

I have an amateur team and we are about to be competing in tournaments. Our team name is "Free Agents". We chose this because we want scouts who are watching us play to know that we are indeed free agents that want to be acquired. So we'd like some type of logo that portrays that

A team for fucking what? Where are you from, do you have a mascot, do you have a general idea for what you'd like representing you (colour wise etc), do you have reference material?

There's nothing more infuriating than someone trying to get free work out of someone else, whilst being as vague and unhelpful as fucking possible.

F. Maybe too simplistic though? It's really just going to be a shitty looking F once you scale it down.

One of the cooler things I've seen posted here in quite a while tbqh. I'm not even a huge fan of "clever" logos but this is a solid idea.

I'd have to see it applied to various things to know how well it will work, though.

Second design

I like the second one of the car, but without the bottles - why not just have it by itself? the painting is good enough

i do have this version. haven't really edited it but i see what you mean.. Thanks for the critique

You can use the first tool to make your lines and curves and whatever.

The second one will allow you to create points on the line you made on the first tool.

The third one will let you remove already existing points.

i can use it to make/race this?

im trying but it messing up

thank you

>>305503
Yes. The other tool you need is the anchor conversion tool. It looks like a chevron, should be in the pen tool or hold alt with the pen tool out in AI. It makes the curves that you'll need.

Just draw some random spikes and shit on paper then scan and bring it into illustrator. I actually really like this aesthetic despite 100% of these logos being objectively bad

>>306464
I'd love it if it was that easy

>>306466
there's not trick but practice, draw the same thing over and over (look for references if you don't know where to put the details) once you're happy with it scan it and follow this tut:

This took literally 2 minutes.

If you are too lazy to do something this simple yourself then keep looking at the cancerous version
