Hi guys,
I have a problem. I am new to graphic design, and generally any kind of image editing, so I might not know specific terms. I have a couple of images I was working on in paint.net, and I moved parts(selections) of the image, which would in turn move the selection, but also leave a checkered space where the image used to be. I was fine with this, and I thought it looked pretty cool in context with my image. When I exported the image from paint.net, I was able to view it in my windows photo viewer, but the checkered spaces where black. I was fine with that too,...

UPDATE
Viewing the picture through firefox on 4tune, the checkered spaces are completely see through, at least for me. This should make it easier to see which spaces I am talking about.
>>261398
another example
Save it as a .png
The checkered area means it's transparant. But not all file(like .jpg) can view this.
If you however do want a checkered patern, google a pic and just place it in a layer under ur current one .
I need to design a mascot with humanoid appearance. And the question is:
It is immoral to use an image to the design structure? I should try to draw with my knowledge? Or is "okay" to use this "cheat"?
>>261390
all artists use references, especially for body structure and pose, just don't trace that shit and make a duplicate
>>261393
that's the question. Why not?
>>261393
It is okay to use images purchased from other photographers in advertising campaigns, but in art have a nonsense ethics.
I really do not know what to do, and both sides have their defense.
Oh, and no, this is not an artwork, but a graphic design work.
hey guys I made this logo for a brand me and my buddy are starting up and wanted to know if someone could make it look nice on photo shop
>>261355

Wrong photo, wrong board, unless you pay up.
>>261355
There is no point anyway.
Way too busy, too much shit is going on and makes it hard to read, like we get it, it's meant to be a surf/skateboard brand, doesn't mean you need to include all that useless detail.
Hey fellow designers I would like to get into vector art and I found a book from a good creator Von Glitschka. But the main question is it worth to buy a book about design in general?
>>261223
It's worth it to buy books on general design.
It's not worth it to buy books on design programs, as they change so fast that the information in it is usually outdated by the time you read the book.
>>261234
Yes I realized it because there is tons of book about PS CS6 and basically about every single adobe software and I already subscribe like 5 youtube channels with tutorials every week.
Good book. Also, look up astute graphics and get the inkscribe plugin for Illustrator.
That shit will turn you into a wizard with vector graphics.
guys does this suck?
Yeah, kinda
>>261180
Yeah, massively. Text is barely readable and somehow offset (wednesday), the background image has weird proportions and the overall way you layed out the crucial information is very poor. Try again.
Unrelated, who pays 30$ for such a tiny band?
>>261185
they actually got signed to subpop and are in the middle of a world tour. There music is meh. I knew the girl playing bass guitar before she ever played bass in that band. she is a wuss and not very cool. kindof surprised her band is blowing up.
Hey /gd/, I need some help.
I'm working on the identity of a eco-houses startup.
The company want to build modern ecological prefabricated house with high grade of customization for the client.
The houses are not only ecological but pretty technological with domotica, home automation and all kind on IoT shit. So, it's a high-end product but with pretty good price and fast building time.
The problem is that I'm kind of stuck with the logo and the image cause at the moment I'm trying avoiding fucking stupid trees or leaves to represent...

OP here.
The client pushed on the "eco factor" but I think the whole idea it's not just that and ecology it's just one of the values of the project. It's also a new way of building, buying and intend the house. (the idea includes a pretty articulated and new system from the production to the selling).
The technological/domotica/IoT thing is also pretty juicy.
Again, thanks to who will help
>>261174
fuck you op if you want help to do your own job then pay up
>>261182
I didn't ask anyone to do the job, I just asked for some inputs/advice/suggestion to unstuck myself in the idea process.
So, calm your titties
Is there a way to make a street seem endless using Photoshop?
>>261163

They're currently looking for a motion designer / animator.
Seems like they use Adobe After Effects & Illustrator.

This shit gives me a raging stiffy but though I'm adept at AI I can't get the hang of AE
Any tutorial recommendations??
>>261155

teach me how to into screenprinting. I want to apply a white design onto black paperboard and I assume screenprinting is the best option for that
>>261108

https://fgts.jp/gd/thread/246454/

>>261121
>paint
It's ink.

>not using cmd+spacebar
>not using alt + mouse wheel
>>261123
This guy gets it
How do people make stuff like this?
>>261046
for what i can see there's a picture of waves behind. the colors i'm not so sure maybe they make a 'texture image' with colors and then use the photoshop blending modes + lots of tweaking.
multiple perlin noise layers + editing?
>>261046
It looks like the a picture of some ocean waves with chromatic aberration shit done to it
Literally easy as shit to do. Just look up some videos on how to do chromatic aberration.
I'm designing a poster for my brothers guitar lessons.
How would you improve this / what would you ad to make this look more professional?
Thanks
maybe a bit more playful with the typeface.
like give the word guitar some handdrawn or some swing. give that guitar a nice dropshadow and maybe a pickboard. make the guitar look more cool. kids want to learn guitar because they like rock. so play with that in the typeface and the symbol.
>>261014
- use a real high quality stock photo of a guitar (even better if the photo has some cool background for example some electric guitar cables or amps)
- make the word GUITAR more interesting (try different fonts for example -pic related)
- align the text at the center and use kerning/spacing/grids for each line of text
- and remember to leave some room on the sides/edges.
make it look like a gig poster or music mag cover
Is krita any good?
Yes, although its focus is more on the painting side than photo-manipulation.
For me, it does everything I would normally do in PS (and some things it does better), and there is no question that it blows the other free alternatives available out of the water by a huge margin (e.g. GIMP) with features like animation, CMYK (and other colorspaces), HDR/high-bit-depth, OpenColorIO integration, a nice brush-engine, etc
Massive potential, and immensely better than GIMP.
Where do I find work online without resorting to these snakes? Working locally is not an option for me, neither is getting hired at a studio (yet).
>>260968
just google design competitions but probably you will have to compete against thousands of Indians and 15 yrs old youtube designers and they don't mind charging 5-10$ for hours of work.
>>260972
>without resorting to these snakes
>just resort to these snakes m8
look at businesses in your local area
if they have shit design, send them an email saying you can help them out and cut them an offer they couldn't refuse
Yeah, so basically I can design some logos, websites and shit pretty well. Do you guys know any place where I can find customers except DesignCrowd? I mean, it's pretty fucked up place. Basically, I need some 50 dollars for my collage and wanted to design something fast bc that's the only thing I'm good at and can get me some money. Thanks.
>>260960
I have some projects I need to outsource, you should post some of your work! Greetings anon :)
>>260960
Yeah, so I'm not that good. Here's simple logo for some drone-flying-shite company out in my country
>>260961
Also thanks anon, really haven't expected that. That's like a lot of trust for some random people out on the imageboard
