Is that a penis?

>>246718
no its a logo

Ok so before you say what you have to say, I looked it through in a bit and noticed:
>no personality, that's why I named it a cheap dishwasher logo, because they all look the same
> background colour should be bright to compliment the sharper edges
>the "e" to "a" distance is nothing like the other ones.
Will post a newer one with these mistakes outdone and then ask you what else to add/change. Also, I know minimalism isn't about adding less but rather keeping it simple so are there any tricks to make flat logos more eye-catching?
>inb4 google it feg.
it's better to get advice from somebody who's willing to criticize my work, not the one of somebody else.

Try framing the word in a solid-colored rectangle, and maybe add some shadows to give it a bit of depth!

POD.

I don't get it.

Have the same doubt that OP.

Do things like 99designs and swiftly. People usually shit on programs like that but those people usually don't actually have careers in design. It's good practice with real projects and can make you a bit of dough while you build up a portfolio to get real gigs.

I honestly don't hate it as much as other people seem to, my only gripe is that retarded gradient. It's not even the same fucking shade of blue anymore

Serif fonts that stress the contrast between thick and thin lines are generally associated with fashion(just look at any fashion magazine) because it looks delicate and exclusive.

That fat faced sans serif font is pretty much the opposite and has not much personality in itself(I guess it was made during the Helvetica fad) Could also be Target package design.

Gap isn't high fashion, though - it's barely a step above buying clothes at Walmart.

I'd argue the new font is a much better representation of what they actually are, instead of what they want to be.

30 bucks isn't pricey

Can you make some money by selling templates online?

Making basic 3d objects like books, magazines, coffeecups, bottles etc. with soft lightning and a flat plane background is pretty easy and I could shit out a bunch of such templates every day.

>>246249
You would need to do a good job with it though. There are so many decent free ones now you would be wasting your time.

They're called mockups and they are not plugins. Photoshop is what you want for creating mockups or using mockup templates.
Most of the time they are actual studio quality photos of the products (business cards, t-shirts, etc.) like the one in your post, and a layer mask or similar used to apply the design to the object.
Of course it varies depending on the application and the design but there are lots of free ones that might be useful.
A google search of 'graphic design mockups' will help shed some light on the subject.

Fuck it lets have a WACOM thread. I just got an Intuos ART, and it's my first tablet. I feel like a mongoloid doofus with a brain injury trying to operate this thing. Does that feeling go away? I just wanna draw shit, mang.

>>250854
I bought an A4 Wacom Intous 3 way back in 2005, still have it and use it to this day...It's not in great condition, there are scratches on the drawing surface and the pen nibs are all worn down to almost nothing and the USB cable is a little sensitive but functionally it still works perfectly and I still use it to this day. Not bad for some 10 year old tech.

>>250870
It does anon. I have an intuos photo, which I only bought because of the sweet black colour. Lately i've used the for all purposes, switching to a mouse only for gaming. I use the left buttons for Show desktop and Switch application and the right ones for zoom in and out.

go with what you feel more comfortable with.
check this guy

he had never actually made a tutorial before and now he's over 200 m of views. (the first tutorials he made suck but he got better)

Use clean language (try to avoid teenage-like talk). Be BRIEF. Explain only what is needed to be explained.

was also wondering if someone could point me to a tutorial that can tell me how to do this kind of spiraling I want to make a hilt like this for one of my other projects. Of even if you know what this is called that would be helpful i've not been searching the right term.

This is more of a /3/ thing.
But I do 3d as well, so I'll help you.
Fireflies generally occur when there's not enough light information, or you're using an hdri (even both sometimes).
Increase the amount of samples (as you've done), and increase the size of your lights/ power.
It's going to end up a bit brighter than what you'd like out of the box, but you can just fix that using the levels tool in a photo editor.

Also look into clamping, and branched path tracing.

>>251314
This is /3/ as fuck. Go ask in the questions thread. [spoiler that doesnt work] use the twist modifier on a long box[/spoiler]

(this should work I hope)

Function over form

>>251271
What >>251274 said. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

lmao
not appreciating the Chan aesthetic

Photoshop is mostly for GIF's
in after effects you can do that in a couple mins.
just try animating a mask. (use F9 on keyframes + graph editor)

why dont you try masking the galaxy stuff on 3 actual rectangles and move them over a white background? it would work and look the same

after effects is the best for this. look up how to animate a mask and you'll be on your way :^)

also idk how it'd turn out, but try adding a slight animation to the background image, like slowly increase the size of it or pan it slightly. i think it might look cool.

Really shitty image file.

Find a new one or fix it.

Try to open it in krita and then save as .psd, maybe that'll work.

Also, here is what the "G" is supposed to look like in terms of general shape, I just need help with making it with the same texture as the image I am working on.

>>250214
not easy reverse engineering a typeface, especially a G, the typeface used here is an old style or transitional serif so you can start by looking at some G's in those typeface families.

>>250214
replace the entire text it would be faster and it would look better. just look on youtube for some tutorial on text effects
