would you mind making a gif? You'd get 1000 internets for this help and I'll pray you'll get your dick sucked by a pretty girl.
I don't have photoshop sadly. Only Illustrator and Pages/Pixelmator
how does this shit get fixed?
I was asked to use this for a design in a KIDS website, but it's so hideous and scary that it dont really want to use it
Anyone here willing to see the beauty inside this monstrosity?
>>272539
You can't make it pretty. It's as hideous as your client's money.
Make the border of the eyes thinner, change the smile to one closer to a ) so it looks less cringy, Also dont make the faces bicolored, do an eye and just copypaste it, try to make the eyes less opened.
well you gotta add a chromosome to each of them and then kill them because we would then no longer need them in an advancing society
Found this font called "JayCons" that has the meaning written underneath each kanji. I want to make a font like this too, but what site/program should I use so it's not incredibly time-consuming?
>>271491
fontforge and/or github (maybe there's some people who could help you if you make it opentype)
few more
Glyphs
Birdfont
RoboFont (mac)
Font Awesome (onlne)
i was just reading this that mentions git.
>http://practicaltypography.com/why-google-fonts-arent-really-open-source.html
>>271506
Thanks, I hadn't heard of Font Awesome (Glyphs and Birdfont had some problems last time I tried them, dunno if they'd work now).
I just found FontArk too, which seems pretty easy to use aside from the "unreadably small interface text" problem....
>>271544
So because google paid people for making those fonts they're not really open source? I don't understand.
Thoughts on the new instagram logo?
Disgusting, looks like every other cheap camera or filter icon. The old one was the one skeuomorphic mark I liked, felt genuine and not easily recreated which made it unique, kind of like a banknote design.
Not bad actually.
Did i do good?
>>272424
millows?
mvlows?
mliiows?
mviows?
What the fuck is that first word most to be?
>>272428
Yeah millows. Friend wanted it like that, couldnt change his mind
>>272429
You should've told your friend that thanks to OLLE, his name looks like miiiows or some such shit
Also I feel something more could've been done with Higher Division. It's kinda just plopped in the middle.
Fine enough cover though
>>271307
is it a 1970's hippie band?
>>271311
yep
the type is cool
check the outlines of the car lights.
also to make it look more vintage you could choose some textures. maybe some grungy stuff
Hello there /gd/ I'm designing my personal logo for the first time (initials I & S) but I can't come up with something good. The one that convinced me the most is the big one on this image. Any help/critics?
>>271293
use the critique thread. it just read like H. kindergarten/10
>>271293
reads like an h, elongate the stem of the I
It reads as an S and an H but also don't make a logo of your own initials. You are a person, not a company.

Dear /gd/ bros
may u help me find the font used in the following picture
>>271091
It's hand drawn.
>>271095
thanks for noticing but is there anything similar
https://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/
This site might be able to spit out something similar to your typeface...but you have custom hand lettering, so good luck.
ITT we post logos we fucking hate.
Fuck this shit
>>263265
Yeah, basically the same problem as the Commonwealth Bank logo, it has some convoluted meaning behind it that no one will understand at a first glance just making it some pointless shape
Sorry dipshit but the points of the yellow shape make the Southerner cross, its a pretty good logo, ufck you cunt :)
This year I've noticed a new trend in graphic design , it has that feeling of "high level" design which I like it but at the same time there a few pieces that are just "meh"..
It seems like every graphic design even for web looks like some editorial stuff and they play a lot with type but I honestly don't get that part, most of the time that just looks like they just tossed some random letters into it and distorted them kek.
I see a lot of neon colors and IK blue, wiggles and milano inspired patterns, I look at it and I feel like...

you are six years late

Doesn't make me want to eat
Reminds me of the denver airport murals
>pic related
Besides that:
Bad font with unnecessary large stroke
Ugly logo with gradients
>>272185
Looks like he is taking a shit through the hole in his pants.
>>272203
Denver airport is scary as hell :/
There's got to be some creepy secrets hidden under that bish
Are there any websites with some graphic design contests, like e.g. that UI challenge every day? I'd like to practice on something and it would be cool to have a specific task every day.
>>272132
I'm definitely interested in this. If someone could give information I'd be grateful.
>>272132
/r/logodesign makes up a breif and give people 2 weeks to enter. At the end of the 2 weeks the next contest starts and and voting for the winner of the previous one starts.

Okay so I am interested in graphic design but the only thing I have ever done is mess around with photoshop for the past 2 years but now I want to be serious about it. My question is, is there any good tutorials anywhere and can you name some good software that will help me?
I am fucking clueless

Illustrator and some schooling; have fun.
Hello, /gd/
I'm going to register a game company, and I need a logo for that purpose.
I have pretty much decided on these three variations, but I thought I'd ask for some feedback first.
I'm generally pleased with the look, but I've never made a logo before, so I might have made rookie mistakes.
Have a couple more variations, which I'll post below, but I think these will fit best.
>>271512
Higher resolution variation.
>>271513
>>271514
Began with this, in MS Paint, at a much lower resolution.
Are there any good references or guides for learning how to do tribal patterns?
I want to get into doing tribal patterns for logos n such but i have a hard time understanding the logic behind them.
Eh, one kinda sorta thing is study up on nature, look for patterns and junk. The swoops and swirls and whatnot. Try mirroring/spirographing the swoops and swirls to get those interesting effects.
I don't really do a whole lot with those but I had a lot of luck just sketching out a design in photoshop, making a mirror line, and then flipping it over on a side, selecting smaller shapes and mirroring around, etc.
No clue if that's actually what you're supposed to do or not.
>>271386
Its kind of a hard thing to learn or look up references because google just brings up really shitty zig zag patterns.
Well, there's Tapout style bro tribal, a bunch of meaningless swirly pointy shit, usually surrounding a cross or a skull and placed prominently on the front of Guy Fieri's shirt.
Then there's actual tribal patterns, by actual, you know, tribes.
Study up on art and tattooing by the Maori, ancient Inuit and Norse, etc. Fuck, it's right in the word "tribal", this shit isn't hard.
