>GIMP or Adobe PS?
PS is the industry standard, no one will take you seriously if you use GIMP

>Is the price worth it?
Probably not (Adobe are greedy bastards) but you can always torrent it

Everytime.

The images are associated with the people that take those drugs. Who's taking nootropics and benzos?

You've clearly never met anyone who does coke. Coke's personality is basically a beer commercial's conception of a sexy party.

nootropics are mostly nerdy, efficient, spreadsheet scheduling, research reviewing types it seems

benzos are all over the place, mainstays like valium make me think of upper-middle-class women in sweat pants and large clean living rooms, xanax makes me think of glazed-eyed amnesic ocean pacific t-shirt wearing twenty-something males who are usually using other hard pharma narcotics and amphetamines

rc benzos are kind of a blank slate in my mind, I'm on flubromazolam atm and have a stash of flubromazepam, etizolam and clonazolam, I'm a pretty straight laced but laid back guy I dunno I hang out on a olt of rc forums and I would say the only real defining feature of the users there is that they are drug nerds to some extent, a lot of students and o-chem types I suppose, kind of tech-nerdy as well

Well the drop shadow is unnecessary and the colors are bad, but I "get" it.

You say you have to create a logo for "the name UP"
What does that mean? What is the "UP" brand about? A shop? A band? An app?

Im on my phone so I can't do real illustrations but if you play around with guides in upward motion it helps. Try to keep the rhythm ascending, not flat or descending.

>>276659
Nice! I will try to do something illustrating movement! Good thinking!
UP is a marketing and business consulting firm.
A company that helps improve sales of other companies.

your thread could have been more successful if you had posted a bunch of designs and asked which ones have potential.

I think it's something that comes with experience.

You have to really suck before you get really good.
..Or you're just good from the start.

When I was younger and a bit more immature (like 13 or so) I used to think things I did was the bees knees.
Later on when I got more mature, I became more self criticizing, so my teen self loathing and angst helped me notice how terrible I was.

Now, I'm not the best at whatever I do, but I know that. I have a good sense of style, and the knowledge to help achieve my goals. With more progressive refinement, I know I can get better at what I do.
I might not be super famous or anything by the end of it, but at least (hopefully) I'll make a good life out of the things I do.

tl:dr refinement and practice

>>276047
You're still inexperienced.

That's when you know you've made it, when you intuitively judge your work objectively. Tunnel is vision fades with time.

I think it's mostly like that in the learning process. You can make a terrible design, but make a personal breakthrough while working on that design. It makes it feel better than it actually is.

sick burn

This is exactly what happened to me, except I didn't go to uni.

My thoughts were architecture and if that doesn't work out, then just graphics. Either way I'll be happy.

Just because you are offended by something doesn't make it "retarded" or untrue.

just get references and inspiration you'll get better with practice.
also you can learn to draw in weeks (search for betty edwards new drawing)

I feel you, flat design is really pretty!

old design is literally perfect
you don't need fucking labels, it's perfectly self evident what they are

Short answer: Nope.
But why do you care anyway?

typo in the "Why not" section, just realized

>>276806
The question mark on "not" isn't red which throws me off
The line around the phone is super weird and you don't need it, it stands out enough as is
The line separating the text from the picture could just be a straight line

Thanks, want the line separating the image from the text to be triangular poly looking or something rather than a boring straight line.

looks like the regular rhino preview to me.
you can always go into the display options to make some adjustments.
