You're on the right track but need to study more theory; see ya in 3 years. Also, stop uploading 2000x2000 images, 800x800 will do just fine.
hi, i am currently dealing with this problem
that is gradient banding.
i downloaded a .atn file that allows me to get an action to get rid of the problem but i don't know how to use it.
i can use the presets action (azioni predefinite) but i can't use the new one (no more banding 0.5)
how can i fix this problem? why are the "little squares" next to the actions different, is that why the new action does not work?
don't bump /gd/
ever
just click on the action and press play
it's not rocket science
>>295433
thank you einstein. i click on the action and press play, but nothing happens. that's the problem.
that's a folder you monkey
1. open the folder
2. select your action
3. push play
It's not rocket science. But the real question is why are you using a de-banding action in the first place?
How have you managed to get yourself in such a situation?
What is the best course (pirated) that will make me a UX designer?
>>294898
I just bought a course on udemy, they're really cheap rn. check them out. That or just read a shit ton of books
>>294900
What is the course called?
Udemy is great for courses, is there a way to send videos online? I have over 500gb of tutorials on web & design, so if you need any let me know.
hey /gd.
I'm finishing up a portfolio now since practical semester starts in march. I'm studying communication design, but I also have a strong interest for more illustrative stuff as you will see.
I'm hoping to get feedback on the layout, the projects and the overall impression. I've heard, employers look at those portfolios for no more than 3 minutes, so I tried letting most pictures speak for themselves.
drive.google (.) com/open?id=0B-yPJclZH8yzc3dsa1Uzd2V1T3M
My biggest problem with it is, that I feel like my stuff is in between Illustration and Graphic Design and I dont seem to fit into the agencies I looked up so far. Would be appreciated, if you could give me tips on that, too (e.g. what do you think I should focus on?).
The text is in German, as I'm not planning to apply anywhere outside Germany, but I'll also make an English website soon.
Thanks for any help
no one?
>>294694
Pretty good imo, I do think the body font is shitty and I don't like the full justify.
>>294833
okay, but it's futura, whats wrong about that? but i get your argument about text alignment, i dont like it normally, but I thought, it would make a better look over all for a page and I tried getting it to work
how would i go about creating something like this?
Do you mean emojis in general?
Any vector based programm would do i think.
just any vector based program, they're not complicated at all.
The image is a gif of the emoji being rapidly distorted.
Is there a way to pay someone $10.00 to design a no copyright or infringement graphic that is original? I don't want to pay royalties or sign off on a lease I just want the job done so that I can sell it on t-shirts.
Lol, $10.
fuck off mate
fuck off. no one is gonna make something for 10 bucks you fucking jew
>>296511
post an email i'll might be able to help you out or even show you where to ask for cheap designs and get something decent.
What's the best way to learn keyboard shortcuts and basic workflow techniques in Illustrator?
I am going to print out and hang a list of the basic shortcuts but they rarely seem to cover things like symmetry and a lot of the techniques that I see professional vector artists use without a second thought.
I have a reasonable understanding of Illustrator but feel like I am taking significantly longer to do baisc things because I am self-taught and never learnt a lot of these useful titbits.
>>296441
mnemonics or anki cards and/or just use the first letter for the shortcut
eg: symmetry - CTRL+S or SHIFT+S

>>296443
>shift-S
that's the symbol sprayer tool nigga
S is Scale, O is Mirror
fat fuck here
i printed and pasted them on the fridge
I'm kinda stuck on this poster. Not really sure how to improve the hierarchy/kerning. What do y'all think this needs?
Needs more stars.
>>296372
I have no /gd/ background and I just came here for the first time via a board ad banner.
The black/white lettering followed by the monochromatic subtitles is an excellent touch. Don't change a single thing about this poster; it's very well done, but it's standing on the precipice of being too busy. I feel like you're thinking of adding another stack of stars to the top-right corner in order to "balance it out". Please don't do that.
Maybe do something else with the placement of the door price, but I can't think of a better place personally.
>>296389
Cool yeah thank you! I agree it looks to busy so I made some changes with kerning and such. I think this looks better
Looking for someone to design a better logo.

I need something "toonish", do you think you can do that?
>>296391

What pisses you off as a designer? I can't stand people who don't know much about design, but they think they do, and that it's easy to "maek things look pretty".
I mean, I get it. Before learning more about it, I wasn't aware of what a good design is neither. But I hate it when they don't want to listen to someone who knows more and stick to their shitty ideas instead.
I feel worthless in those cases. And they actually make ME feel like a jerk who is trying to act smart and just piss them off, instead of offering help. I feel like a picky autist when I start giving feedback on spacing, typography or colors. The answer is always something like "Oh, these are just details, it doesn't matter much".
Makes me think that's true and that designers really are unimportant in the end.

>>296082
Big companies prefer designers by the degree and experience instead of skill. Example: Windows 8 desginer
>>296082
All my relatives are like you described. How to deal with them? I'm also starting to believe that they consider me a bit 'wicked'.
>>296082
>picky autist
I mean that's what all designers are
design a better VFD insignia (the three letters must form an eye)

For the love of the almighty, simplify those vectors, my eyes are dying >>296070

>>295376
Minimalism
>>295380
Nigga this aint minimalism the fuk u mean
flat illustration
Hey /gd/, I'm currently working on cover for some musician. I'm trying to mix collage style with retro feeling. How it's look? Is this readable?
...and on mock up.
Only thing that sticks out to me is his face. Have no idea why you thought that looked good lol.
style is fine, but the paper tears on the edges of the b/w bottle image is very repetetive and also the bottle are very boring and low quality. find better reference shit.
