any digram is a ligature if you're brave enough

the only ligatures you should care about are already listed in wikipedia, and even most of them are shit nobody cares about
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typographic_ligature#Ligatures_in_Unicode_.28Latin_alphabets.29
æ, ff, ffi, fi, œ, ß and st are the only relevant ones

not even remotely complete. When I found an 11th century manuscript on my shelf and did my research, I found books (on google.books) listing thousands of ligatures for a single font alone! (beneventana in this case)

You're using GIMP on Linux you fucking tool

>>305072
fuck that's funny

thanks anyway

>>305144
Dude, seriously....invest the money in a decent photoshop licence. I know it's expensive, but gimp not worth your time.

Once upon a time I used gimp and inkscape too. But it's just way too complicated, the tutorials are way too complicated and pretty much the only advantage (except for the o so useful option to export pictures as c source code) is that it's free.

Also Linux is a nice system. But Gnome and (probably) ubuntu are probably not the system set up you want to use if you want to get decent driver support from your graphics adapter/card.

I personally use windows 10, which (undoubtly) is a disease in itself, but offers a lot of drivers for all sorts of shit. I mean, you can even use a mapped guitaer hero controler to draw stuff if you really want to. And you don't need to comple some obscure packages.

I paid for my CS6 design and Web premium US licence around 480€. For the range of programs you get I consider that an acceptable price (except Adobe Acrobat Pro X that piece of shit failure of a program)

>>306391
None. There are so many free alternatives, why would I pay for something so irrelevant?

>>306392

Because it is relevant for design teams?

>>306393
Don't be so dense, dude. Nobody's paying for that shit. There are dozens of free (and good) mock-ups all over the internet.

woops *color

the G isn't really visible, because either you have TgD and no one's looking for lowercase or you have TD with flamboyant serifs.

This actually fucking freaked me out. Well done anon.

It's like The Ring movies. If you watched it all the way (until the circle stopped growing) you will be possessed and eventually killed.

Photoshop.
Filter>Camera Raw Filter>Lens Correction.

Adjust the defringe sliders.

you could also go to the channels tab and move the red and blue channels to the left and right, respectively.

They applied the effect to the bar code too?

I've worked in a print centre before mate, and I can tell you that for 2k you'll be able to do very little.

The type of printer that will do magazine pages will be different to one that can do posters and packaging, etc. They are dedicated machines that cost anywhere from £800 (An A3 laser printer) to £5000+ (A wide format Poster-printer).

Then you need to consider toners, inks, paper stocks, binding machines and materials, the space to put this shit, etc.

>>305757
i don't know much about types of printers, would you recommend any that would be good enough for like just printing a3 posters, up to 300dpi, different tones and paper.

>>305759
nah, don't remember specific models, soz. If I were you I'd work in a printshop for a few weeks, there are a lot of subtleties to it that will help you; right now it sounds like you're fumbling in the dark a bit. Never a good spot to start a business from.

I'm a chemistry student, I need to be able to tell which color the solution has taken on.
As for amateur GD, I usually work in black n white. Sometimes shades of red and blue.
Making something brown will fail horribly.

>>305188
You mix orange with blue, or red with green, or purple with yellow.
I have no idea why brown isnt just black mixed with red but i have no concept of colors, i see mostly saturation instead of a color of a color, if that makes any sense.
I think there is an app that can show you the RGB or CMYK values. Once you learn which mixture of which values (basic clolors) give which colors, its easy to know color.

>>305185
sounds rough anon.
however, i think the fact that print is very formulamatic is in your favor. Its really about knowing your numbers and what colors they produce.

not sure how legit these are for accurate color, but might help.

What are you trying to express?
When I'm asking this question as a prompt rather than out of sheer confusion, then it will be improved.
[spoiler]just make a language-neutral stop or yield sign[/spoiler]

>>304914
desu i really don't know what i want to express.
I just did it cause i liked the design, there really isnt anything behind it like some secret meaning

No one IN the field actually cares if you're on a Mac or PC. They care about what you can do with the software; the computer you're using is practically irrelevant.

>>302751
Yeah macs are better even if I hate Apple, 90% of the softwares I'm using doesn't even exist on Windows. And they're better at multitasking. But if someone disregard your work only because you're on a PC, you're better off.

/thread

Read books and look at art.

Think outside the box, when you look at other peoples work and try to find inspiration, don't copy obviously but look for a variation and your style into play.

I'm not a web designer but when I work it works for me every time.

>>305888
I drive.
Seriously. If I'm feeling like shit, or just can't come up with anything, a nice midnight drive usually helps.

>How would you fix it?
not sure, I guess Id have to somehow force your mom into getting an abortion
