Hi /gd/
My photoshop skills are very limited and was hoping someone might be able to help me edit an image of cletus.
What I was hoping to achieve was this image of cletus but instead of holding a pig, he is holding a basket of gherkins and so that it's easily identifiable, having a "Gherkin's" label on the basket.
I was hoping to remove the writing on the top and bottom of the image too. If anyone can help me achieve this, I would be very grateful.

For the top and bottom text, you can just erase what is outside the circle, using a big brush size to get rid of most of it, then zooming in and using a smaller brush for the smaller details
you will notice that some of the text is inside the circle (the "the" of the slack-jewed yokel), to remove this, select the layer and right-click>select pixels. Then use the color picker to select the color of the shirt, the use the paintbrush and paint over the text.
Now try and find a picture of your...

Thanks for taking the time to reply.
Honestly I was hoping someone could photoshop the picture for me and re-upload it since my skills are so limited. Reading your reply was like a foreign language to me haha
So I need to design a poster thats similar to Christopher Wool's work and I need to design it around a quote. I seriously can't think of anything, so I would really appreciate it if someone could give me a quote or phrase similar to what's used in these two separate designs by Christopher Wool. Thankyou :)

How hard is it to google aggressive quotes?

Thoughts?

It's spec work that cheapens the industry.
With that being said, I participated in 99 design contests while in school and shortly after graduation. It was one of the few ways that I could get some experience working with clients and progressing my skills in corporate branding since most businesses weren't willing to hire a recent college grad without a job history. I made some money from the site but ultimately moved on to other things since the payout vs. the work put in sucked.
Anyone else here played the not-being-an-ugly-fuck game with photoshop?
No, because I am not ugly as fuck.

Which software does it to people???
Which open-source software???
Does it even qualify as /gd/???
>>257081
Also: how to cure it???
>>257081
My best bet is After Effects. Track the left eye's relation to the right eye, bind that to a null object and bind a copy of the video to that very null object. Fine-tune the position and mask shit out.

Thank you. I’d love to be able to do it with Blender.
/gd/, I'm doing a menu. I'm hellbent on doing it myself because I've found the hard way that there are no competent designers in my town (which is in Mexico).
I know my way around photoshop enough to be able to do whatever comes to my mind, and I have enough sense of what looks shitty and what doesn't not to completely fuck up doing this.
I'm just wondering if there are some rules to follow or key fuck ups to avoid for menus.
Pic related, my restaurant's also a casual dining establishment, so I thought of Applebee's.
OP here, pic also related.
It's something I did for a St Valentine's contest we held. I know it's not perfect, but it's honestly easier for me to just do what I want to do because I can't communicate what I have in mind to the designers.
>>260512
Nobody likes crowded menus. The focus should be on either pictures of the food, or the text. Take HopCat's menu for example (a bar and burger joint in my city) [ Menu Link: http://www.underconsideration.com/artofthemenu/project_images/hopcat_lansing_PDF_03.gif]
They have no pictures, and the yellow one white (shockingly) isn't painful to read, then again it's a pale yellow, not a strong one. Their menu is simple, and of all the restaurants I've dined at, it was the best designed.
Then...

Rates and suggestions plz (to help my nube brother out.)
Also general rate and suggestion thread for any graphic designers or "critics" who want to give or need suggestions or rates.
Shameless self-bump.

I'm going to be very honest. Ready?
Terrible logo. Tacky font choice. Crappy rendering of a scroll. Go on upwork or fiverr and hire an Indian to make a better logo worth a days worth of food in the US (which is quite a bargain).
I don't pay for commercial fonts. Ever.
I use them for commercial purposes.
I feel somewhat guilty.
Let the customer pay.
>>260600
use open type or learn how to make them yourself. sometimes you can buy fonts really cheap if you don't buy the whole set (things like extra-condensed, extra black italic, extra light italic, etc).
>>260613
>or learn how to make them yourself
How?
Exactly what the fuck is this?
catastrophic designs thread?
I found that thing truly inspiring
>>258391
Its genius really. Brilliant in the sense that every time you go back to it, you find something else that you missed the previous times.
>>258391
Yep, this has trancended good and bad to become something truly spectacular.
Has to be the official poster, no redesigns.
let's not forget
I always liked this one

Get to friends a few
i like extremely soft gradients so its enough you dont notice it but it also doesnt look extremely plain.
Flat is superior
>>254619
This, flat just generally looks better.

Where do I learn to make a very basic personal logo? I'm not a graphic designer but I just want one to put on my website and use as my favicon. Or where can I pay to get one done by someone who IS a GD? Don't need a complicated one, just something with my initials that looks decent.
I looked at fiverr but it ends up costing $7 (CAD) and I'm a jew.
Thanks friends
If you're just learning the program to design this one Logo I'd pay the money dude.
From a monetary standpoint, this is going to cost you a lot of time which you could use to earn money instead.

do you think it'd even be worth it to get a personal logo done if it's just for my personal website which hosts my resume (and i'm not even in the gd industry)

not a designer, but I like it.

I don't know, just looks like some serif font to me. a lot of serif logos have been getting rid of the thin lines but I don't think it would work with your's, but maybe.
The flares with the blue tint.
Photshop.
Gotta be a better way, other than with brushes and layers of Overlays and Soft Light as options...
Another example.
Or what is the technical term for it? I can Google it myself.
Thanks for any help or legitimate link to a tutorial.

This was probably made with that AFX lens flare plugin the name of which I don't remember, then exported desu.

What the fuck adobe!
Why would they remove a useful feature for no fucking reason.
Still no official answer from them:

>>259353
why would you ever want to anchor point arms to snap to a grid? do you hate smooth lines?
I do agree that CC is the worst thing adobe has ever done. Rolling updates are the worst, especially when you are paying a subscription fee and they don't really add useful features, but break others.
At least other industry leading software companies (protools, etc) allow customers to do Subscription based or buy their latest version for full price.
>>259367
In some cases it's really convenient to have snapping to grid since you can be 100% sure what you're drawing is aligned properly instead of having to eyeball it, at least that's why it's so important to me
>>259373
I've used this before when working with assemetrical objects.
