>Can somebody photoshop X? Can somebody make me a logo?All requests for photoshopping belong on /wsr/ - Worksafe Requests or /r/ - Adult Requests. /gd/ doesn't take requests or do free or even paid work sometimes. However, if you're new at something, asking "HOW can I X?" rather than "CAN YOU make X?" will give you better results.>Can I post some of my work for critique?There is usally a critique/What-Are-You-Working-On thread, and that is where work for critique go.>Can somebody find [font]?http://www.mediafire.com/download/027xjs3ujvyqxmd/Fonts.zipalso check out your local torrent site or the font-share thread.Remember to share and not just take.

Hello /gd/ I am coming here with a request today. Can you guys help me find the original picture and the original drawing of these 2 demo's from a French band called Peste Noire? I have been trying to find the original ones for a while now and I have not been able, using Google and Yandex, I even contacted someone who had the original tapes, but sadly they sold them by the time I asked him for the scans. Thanks for your time and effort! I really appreciate it!
>>453834Okay OP, all I have to do is apply my magical de-filter brush onto the pic and you'll be able to reverse image search the orginal in no time!

Is it retarded to use fountain pens?

>>454732idiot
>>454722>uses india ink with a fountain pen and makes spiteful comments about the mediumthe embarassing retardation of some mfs...
>>454728>i use a fountain pen for sketching from natureWhy not use graphite or charcoal pencil instead?
>>454790probably because it has a different look...
Looking forward to be a Freelancer Graphic Designer and Blender Artist.I'm a 19 years old male, I decided to not attend to college because In my point of view, it's just not worthy it, paying thousands for something you can learn online. Here is my problem though, I don't know where I should start. I feel like I'm not confident enough, and I don't know many places where I could capitalize over my work.I'm currently working at my family's business, but it's so annoying having to work with public, and being at a family's business doesn't make you feel like you are independent. Which is what I'm looking forward to be.It's been hard since everyone tries to push me into college, because in their mind, college = easy life. And I really don't bother getting minimum wage as long, I'm doing something that I enjoy.
>>454284Good point
>>454284Unrelated, but where can I find someone to draw me a logo for a personal website ? I don't need anything really professional...
>>454549Use DALL·E. It’s cheaper and probably better than what you’d get from a designer, especially from around here.
>>454284funnily enough basically my whole process from going from self-taught to college is documented on this board, but I shared my brief experience from my first semester here >>453466 if you're interestedI don't think college is necessary, but even from a community college I've gotten quite a lot of knowledge from classes and feel like a more competent designer for itI'm just going for a one-year certificate at the moment but I may end up going into a bachelorsif you're insistent on self-learning, I suggest the following sources>linkedin learning (I had one class that basically leaned entirely on these courses)>skillshare>youtube (stay away from trendy bullshit, watch lectures and talks from designers that aren't hacks)and more than anything I found just looking at good design (or not even good, but design I like) to be both a good motivator and good for inspiring work
>>454284> I don't know many places where I could capitalize over my work.Take any offer you can get your hands on and build your portfolio, and try promoting yourself on platforms like Fiverr too. >it's so annoying having to work with publicYou will have to work on it if you are interested in being a freelancer, and own your own business one day. >being at a family's business doesn't make you feel like you are independent.Keep working at your family’s business for easy cashflow
I have a very simple question, I hope I'm not on the wrong board.I have a book in pdf form (pic related) and I want to print it out and bind it, but I want to move the text of the left pages to the left and the text of the right pages to the right. How do I do that? I downloaded Foxit PDF Editor but it doesn't have that option.
>>454556theres no really a clean way to do that, so really its not an easy question. is each page of the pdf file a spread like pic rel or is each page of the book its own page?is the file all pixels (images of pages) or is it selectable text still?
I'd probably start by getting the PDF into InDesign, making sure the pages are laid out correctly, and then try setting up a script that moves content for each odd and even page.Quick look at https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/scripting.html makes me believe it won't be too hard of a job

Last april, i went to magadan in the far east. people were still driving old cars, and the cans around them had a gradient design with cyrillic letters. I wanted to live here. but soon i had to return to my home in south korea. in there, tradition has been killed. my feeling at the time is that i want to send some mail with the charger to airport, university.Flat design ruined my life, and annoying me until death. flat design based on pragmatism and materialism.everyone loves the old skeuomorphism, but it's crazy that flat design still exists today.
>>454764shut the fuck up
>>454775Great contribution, fucking brown faggot.
>>454774>Hugo Boss is trying to recast itself as cool. Gen Z cool. Diversity hires going to work at corporate and couldn’t think outside of the Supreme font. So sleek.
>>454774From my experience normies are alergic to Serif.
>>452405This. This. This. This.
The Tokyo olympics 2020 logo: soulless, doesn't even make any sense.My AI "slop" version: beautiful, expert composition, a deep juxtaposition between tradition and technology and an athletic motif.
>>454778you don't understand the concept of motion
>>454781>expert composotion>tradition and technologyobviously bait...
Another US state finally gets a decent flag: Minnesota.
>>454757Too boring imo, better than before but your eyes just glaze off of it without any thing to contrast the cool blues
>>454765This was chosen as the basis for the new flag. There were some tweaks.
>>454766It looks like a Central African country somehow annexed by NATO
>>454782Yeah, and the red/yellow/green tricolour is replaced with cyan/green/white.
Immigrants come there and change your flags, Yall wypipo need to get ur shit together.
i crave smiles.
this feels like social commentary

What are you working on, /gd/?
I didn't want to create a thread for this, but can anyone tell me which text alignment is better for readability purposes or why am I too fucking dumb to know which one works best? (they both look weird to me to be honest, being a designer is tough)
>>454310OF COURSE I'd forget the godamn file
>>454311>being a designer is toughyou are so motherfucking stupid, wasting your and our time with half a centimeter of indentation!the text isn't even vertically aligned with the rose bars and still you are worrying about fucking 5 millimeters?!definitely the top one. now grow up and work for 10 minutes without asking for feedback, child.
>>454312the sheer honesty hurt a little but I'll take it like a champ, thank you for the feedback, anon

Guys, im a total noob, I need help. is there a way to spiral fonts? For example, font F37 Bergman or Florida? Maybe there are some torrents or links to archives, like the archive of TTRPG PDF files on /tg/?
>>454769*pirate
>>454769Some yeah, but they might be not 100% quality ifykwim, if it's for a small project just draw the lettering in illustrator
