'Make /gd/ Great For The First Time' Edition

I reckon it's time for us to adopt the /general/ system like the other boards. Lots of stray threads that I know most of us don't like.
Other than individuals who have a lot of their own work to post, I suggest we use the following for all other posts:

/crit/ - critique general
/qtddtot/ - questions that don't deserve their own thread / stupid questions
/Ps/ - Photoshop general - Sharing tutorials / asking for tips / sharing Ps resources (e.g. Brushes)
/Ai/ - illustrator general - same
/Id/ - Indesign general - same
/fst/ - Font share thread
/typeface/ - Typeface discussion general - tell us how much you love Helvetica Neue
/whatthefont/ - What Font Is this? General - for when WhatTheFont isn't working
/insta/ - Instagram whoring
/portfolio/ - Portfolio whoring
/employment/ - Work discussion
/inspo/ - Inspiration general
/howto/ - 'How to achieve ___ effect?' thread

Suggestions? Good list? Bad list? Fuck off nobody cares?
Tell me how you really feel about /gd/.
>>
Crit
Qtddtot
Portfolio
Employment


These are the only worthwhile ones
They alone will drastically cut the mess of the board without sacrificing the free flow feeling around this place

As someone whose home-board switched to a rigid structure of generals, let me tell you,. Enjoy the abstract. Some generals are good. Too many stifle, and for an artistic board that's a problem
>>
>>292800
>AI >PS
maybe an adobe general since there isn't a lot of people on here and instead of instagram one like the /ic/auto-promotion could work better

also a few others ideas from different boards:
wip/critique
collaboration threads
rage threads
vaporwave/glitch -these were successful last couple times

also make a strawpoll for voting which of those threads could be implemented

and finally since you're the one that suggested it i think you could be the one who makes those threads otherwise people will just dismiss the idea
>>
>>292800
/qtddtot/ used to exist and was called /sqt/
An /av/ wouldn't hurt at all.
An >>>/av/ would be damn nice
>>
>>292800
fucking fuck yeah.

shall we just start making them?

I dont mind maintaining
/howto/
/3d/
/animation
>>
>>292846
motion graphics or motion design could work better than 3d and animation
>>
>>292899
agreed on motion design, though ive answered looaads of 3d questions on here. Also I think every designer should lern 2 3 d
>>
No pls, terrible idea
>>
Use generals the way they are meant to be, to keep together large group who all post the same thing. /typeface/ or /id/ are useless because too open-ended. A general should have a very clear limits and function.


/fst/ - Font share thread
/insta/ - Instagram whoring
/qtddtot/ - questions that don't deserve their own thread / stupid questions
/employment/ - Work discussion
/howto/ - 'How to achieve ___ effect?' thread
and Ill add /randumb/ - five minute works

those are good because we know they already exist and get replies. Now what we need to do is strictly enforce them the same way we managed to strictly enforce "never answer a request thread, immediately redirect to >>>/wsr/".
>>
>>292800

>/qtddtot/ - questions that don't deserve their own thread / stupid questions
Necessary.

>/Ps/ - Photoshop general - Sharing tutorials / asking for tips / sharing Ps resources (e.g. Brushes)
>/Ai/ - illustrator general - same
>/Id/ - Indesign general - same
Make /ag/- adobe general. Have 3 different links for tips and etc for the OP

>/fst/ - Font share thread
>/typeface/ - Typeface discussion general - tell us how much you love Helvetica Neue
>/whatthefont/ - What Font Is this? General - for when WhatTheFont isn't working
Make /fg/ - Fonts General - Again same with adobe, create three different subcategories


>/crit/ - critique general
>/insta/ - Instagram whoring
>/portfolio/ - Portfolio whoring
Group this together


>/employment/ - Work discussion
I feel you could also group this with the above, and call it /bg/ - branding general? (come up with a better name than this)

>/inspo/ - Inspiration general
Unnecessary

>/howto/ - 'How to achieve ___ effect?' thread
Also unnecessary, belongs with qtdttot

Don't make too many general, this kills the board.
>>
Generals are inherently bad.
>>
>>292800
You let generals happen naturally. If we feel that something needs a general someone will make one and people will start using it. This is a stupid thread.

Generals are fucking cancer. Go to reddit faglord
