...You didn't make this.

Shopped? You can't even tell if it's the same person if you can't see the face in both pictures!

You can check the original image's exif metadata (we can't since 4chan deletes it) and it should say if it was saved with photoshop. But that's not very useful since both pictures have had to be put together in some kind of image editing softwre.

It does look shopped though

A) There's a difference in skin colors and the edges of it are feathered.
B) That bumpy angle looks weird and unnatural

>>292892
May not be photoshopped. You can do this yourself. Make your stomach stick out and then pull it in. Fat then skinny. There is also a lighting change. Try it. You don't need photoshop to do this

Had some stained glass art, 16 color pixel art, did it in DPaint2 back around ~1993 or so. Was about 11 years old.

Dont have it anymore but there you go.

you brought my terribly conceived posst up out of the graveyard to make that worthless post?

Go fuck yourself for making my thread suffer, let it die.

>>293708
Bump.

>>292512

Yeah it's so fucking insulting.

I keep a pirated copy of 5.5 for emergency compatibility issues, other than that fuck adobe.

>>292512

I actually think it's pretty decent. Adobe knows that most people pirate it either way, and they've always been smart enough to not fight it too much, because they know the ones that pirate it will have to buy it when they start commercially either way. Also, the photography and student deals are real cheap, especially considering that you get the newest versions and updates automatically instead of having to buy a new version every year or so.

Anyways, for commercial usage, it's a pretty small cost, especially for medium to large studioes like the one I work at. But then again, my boss pays for my license so I don't really care.

I just realised this sentence didn't make any sense, sorry. What I was trying to say is that adobe doesn't really take kids using their software for hobby stuff into consideration, because they know that those kids will get accustomed to adobe and buy the software as soon as they need to get a commercial license when/if they ever start in a creative field later on.

id rework the layout. I feel like right now it has 2 focal points the smiley and the icon. I like the smiley concept better than the icon.

>>291556

leaf icon is kind of boring and generic, it would be fine I guess for some client that doesn't want anything flashy.. but if it's for a portfolio or graphic design homework it's not good.

I've recently seen that umlaut used in the same way for a design project somewhere on the internet. I can't remember the name of it right now. It saddens me that now I will never be able to use that because someone else has already thought of it and if I also do it, it means that I stole his/her concept. It pisses me off that sometimes when I'm ideating concepts I will stumble over exactly the same thing. I don't want people to consider me a thief, but how should I defend myself if this happens?

I recommend you to buy Wacom MobileStudio Pro. Buy the top one, if you can afford.

I'm guessing your graphic chip died. Reballing it might be a temp fix.

>>293036
a gradient i guess with the world map almost transparent. do you want to make a website with those colors or a still image?

>>293046
A still image. I will try the transparency as well as the gradient later although I'm not sure if it will yield exactly the same results.

I will see though.

Yo anon - Can you post that design in a higher resolution?

>>292918
Heinous.

I've seen worse, but you can tell they're just throwing things in they've seen on successful sights without knowing why. I'd say the only thing they have going for them is mobile compatibility, but I'm sure their site spams shitty pop ups that don't work on mobile

>>292918
As much as I hate it, and most people with an eye for design will as well, it is one of the most successful sites on the web.

Even though it may look trash, the design obviously works for their brain dead audience who needs things shoved in their face at every corner.

>>293034
>>293035
Cool. Can you tell what exactly is bad looking here? Hierarchy is pretty good, everything is clean, featured stuff is decently highlighted. Overall, it doesn't look anything special to me, but I think the design is pretty good.

It's certainly better that those design-y websites with thumbnails that take 80% of screen space.

I can't tell why I kinda like that full width thing on top. I've been thinking about implementing it on my site, so I'd like to ask if that would be a good idea or is it just a meme.

Whip up a mock-up of a magazine spread.

Use indesign to do it.

Even if it's garbage it will knock their socks off because it shows layout skills and basic understanding of design.

>How would one go about landing a job as a graphic designer for a japanese magazine?
To start up with, living in Japan wouldn't hurt...
You will grow out of being a weeaboo eventualy though.

>>292038
I don't even watch anime dawg.
What I meant by I like them was the style in Jap mags, mainly fashion and lifestyle ones like Popeye, Woofin and The Day. I really like the articles these guys come out with as well as their design style and working along with them could be smth really cool imo.
Like mentioned, thinking ahead

Those are ultra-influenced by western magazines. You only know the japanese ones because you care about japanese lifestyle (and you browse those /fa/ scan threads). And you care about japanese lifestyle because you're a fucking weeb.

Go for animation, it may be harder for a job but it definitely will fit you better

Animation is not graphic design, and graphic design is not animation.
If you want to do one or the other, I suggest sticking to that.

Graphic design would involve stuff like logo design, package design, advertising, print design, etc.
Animation heavily depends on illustration and animation (of course).

Either you suck at this or it just doesn't work on mobile for some reason.

It's okay though, keep trying.
