>YOU CAN'T DO PROFESSIONAL LOOKING DESIGN ON OPEN SOURCE

Noone said there wasn't good FLOSS graphic design software, but there's no good image manipulation software that isn't Photoshop. They're different things.

ps those icons look like shit

Lets be honest. /g/. The tool you use to make a product doesn't matter, as long as you are competent enough to make it work. The file extensions are pretty much universal these days.

>>62213525
Dude, show me icon's you've made.

Inkscape isn't that bad and receives new features but it's still crippled by trying to formulate the toolset strictly around SVG standard rather than letting the user himself to choose the limits. It's just a principally wrong approach that's totally out of place in graphic design software.

What's with this kiddie flat design?
If I were looking to hire the first thing that would come to my mind is

Of course you can make high-quality web graphics on Inkscape and GIMP, but you have to put more effort in finding longer workarounds for features that Photoshop and Illustrator have had for years that you can do in a cinch.

I have used all four of these for years. The only reasons I would use GIMP and Inkscape over Photoshop and Illustrator would be if I couldn't afford the Adobe tools or if I'm on a Linux system.

Compared to Photoshop and Illustrator, GIMP and Inkscape lack a LOT of stuff. GIMP has practically no non-destructive editing features. Inkscape has terrible layer management, and being confined to the SVG standard, doesn't have any artboard support like Illustrator does, among many other features.

You can't even make an angular.conical gradient in Inkscape, you have to cheat the system with workarounds, while in Illustrator it's just an easy button click away.

Sam Hewitt is quite an icon in FOSS circles. I fancy his beautiful Moka icon theme. Really clean and refreshing.

Not him but they do look like shit

>bevel on a flat design
wtf? he completely missed the point of flat design
>poor palette
>inconsistent design language

Not that you can't by good design in open source because you could easily make great looking icons in Inkscape if you wanted. Those icons, however, aren't very good

it looks like shit. but it;s not the fault of tools but the artist. still, it's a pile of shit.

>>62213525
anything with gmic integration outstrips photoshop's photo manipulation capabilities

when are we going back to real icons like one would find on nextstep, windows and amiga?

You mean skeuomorphic icons? There are plenty of custom skeuomorphic icon sets you can download and replace your default icons with.

Nice argument
>>bevel on a flat design
>wtf? he completely missed the point of flat design
what is the point of flat design then according to you?
>inconsistent design language
nice opinion. IMO it's quite consistent

>>62220892
I'm so glad 4chan is easily accessible to blind retards like you.

>>62220907
they look the fucking same. that is the whole point. the amateur's icons are ripoffs of apple's shitty icons

>>62216968
Bretty gud

wtf I love floss now.

>>62213506
Well, everyone knows Inkscape is good software. I think most of his work was done there, I doubt GIMP was very helpful. Krita is better at being an image editor than GIMP is, and Krita isn't even an image editor. It's a digital art studio.

>A talentless hack is an icon in FOSS circles
wow color me surprised

It's OK when Apple does it.
