how well does the ISIS flag do on the grounds of graphic design
>>257669
It's one of the most recognizable symbols of this decade. It fulfills it's purpose perfectly. It even resembles old pirate flags. P good graphic design. The fact that most in the west can't read it only adds to the effect it has. It could say super cute happy bunnies for all anyone in the west knows.

I'm a wanderer from afar just killing time here. This board in general and your post in particular has some interesting original thought content. The idea of the isis flag invoking pirate imagery, perhaps commonly understood to you folks, fucking blew my mind.
>>257669
It's better than some flags, at least.
Made this today. Opinions?
It's fan art for one of my favorite artists Soulero,
it's a fake track name, and I made the 3D logo in Cinema 4D, and did all the photo manipulation in Photoshop.
It's ugly, there a visible variations in image resolution, you have a terrible understanding of visual communication, there are little to no redeeming qualities, anything you could have done right you did not. This is as far from professional as something can get.
>>260164
I appreciate the criticism, but can you do better?
>>260166
Your oder of operations is wrong, it's almost impossible what to tell this is for.
You are raping multiple art styles together in an unappealing and visually uncomfortable way. You are not respecting or acknowledging basic fundamentals like negative space.
The tone of the piece lacks contrasting gravity, my eye is not drawn anywhere.
And beyond all that, it's simply ugly and unprofessional, anyone with a few years of professional design will look at this and laugh.
Better?
I share my work.
An unnecessary Evil.
Beware of my words.
Vicious camel.
Anyone know what the name of this type of stonework style is?
Extra points for memes
>>260368
The pattern of the stones or the type of stone used?
Square rubble coursed masonry is the effect.
Square - because of the flat sides and top of the stone, Rubble - because of the different sized stones in width and height (unlike a standard brick wall) Coursed - because although they are different heights they go up in even layers and Masonry - because it's a stone wall.
Probably sandstone if you asking about the type of stone

This is an excellent and highly informative post.
I appreciate it immensely. You're a good egg!
I'm looking to build a band website. I've been searching for resources and tutorials for months but I'm coming up with nothing. It really can't be THAT difficult can it?? I'm looking to do something very bare and simple similar to this: http://www.theeohsees.com/.
Any tips? Should I just pay somebody to do it?
>>260325
If you've been trying to look into resources and tutorials for months and you can't find anything...yeah you should probably pay someone else to do it.

As if that sexist fake materialistic representation of a woman wasn't enough you had to go full white supremacist pro KKK let's vote Donald Trump to choose her skin color, it's 20fucking16 you bigoted backward shitlord.
God you /pol/tards disgust me...
no offense, but this is shit. totally common, nothing new, bad design.
try using neutral colors, like grey, white brown and, especially, black. it looks much more professional than using pink and an almost-barbie-clone, because the way you made it, gives off a childish impression.
plus, going minimalistic might be a good idea, since its a nice trend that looks clean + great.
I'd search a nice color pallete with black, whatever it is considered a trend nowadays and try to work with that. Also, I wouldn't go for a woman's illustration, that's...

Hey /gd/ I've been working on an idea for an animation and we're now in the Production process of the first episode. I'm going to be doing the backgrounds but I'm not very good at drawing, especially in Photoshop.
I'm looking for any advice that will help me effectively tailor my creativity and productivity in Photoshop. Are there any tutorials you would recommend? Brush packs? Coloring? Layering? Really any advice will do as I'm a writer/audio engineer who is just getting into visual aspects.

Draw every fucking day till you get good at it.
Photoshop is a tool, not sorcery.
>>260300
This.
Ever heard of a thousand hours?
Some people are born to fucking draw and others learn to paint masterpieces by drawing and drawing until they reach that stature. I personally think I have a natural talent for drawing but never practiced or tried honing the skill because it was never really my interest growing up. Now that I'm older and want to start animating my ideas I realized how stupid I was. If I took drawing seriously since I was young I feel like I could've been so good.
So just...

Got it. This might a stupid question, but where is a good place to start pertaining to settings and backgrounds? As you can see in my drawing I have a hard time with perspective and continuity and it shows even more so when I'm not drawing people. When it comes to writing, this animation is my pride and joy and I'd practice for a million hours to make it look perfect, its just that when I start trying...

Hey guys Im making a ad to magazine. well its just fun project but I wanna know what do you think about it. its new energy drink I used muscle cars as reference. Not sure about it so I will be glad if you tell me what do you think and if its worthy to put in my portfolio. thanks
Looks nice, but it's very generic. Advertising is about getting something into people's minds. There is nothing that sticks with me here. Also, it isn't 100% clear that it is an energy drink you're selling. At a glance it looks like an ad for motor oil. It should come across as a refreshing drink, not something that makes you think of exhaust fumes.

maybe some copy/text would help?

One of the things i keep coming back to gd is to see stuff like this. I've been trying to come up with different ideas to make it better and one thing that's really bothering me is the type/logo "horse-power" it shouldn't really be that big and it shouldn't be touching the right border (also it doesn't need those gradient clean white would make it better).

no because the images aren't that interesting. try to learn better...

This is a class project with a real client. The company is geared towards senior executive women in the business field. They obviously have money: They go on resorts, and are primarily in this year program to improve their skills in the business world and in their personal life.

Need help deciding if I should keep the business name horizontally (#1) or stacked like number 3 or 4. Also want input if the fonts are okay. The colors are starting to seem like a hotel to me now.

What is the optimal way to connect the two? I've tried Adobe Draw but I imagine there is something better? Should I get a stylus?
>>260125
Yeah, use a desktop.

I run Photoshop on my laptop. Im asking if there is any app that basically let's me "draw" on my iPad instead of my laptop because free hand is better than my wireless mouse or at least I assume so

There's a tournament called the 4CC (Four Chan Cup, other variations of the name are spamfiltered so watch out), which has AI versions of each 4chan board compete in simulated football (soccer) matches. The teams themselves are representations of each individual board's culture. /gd/ is one of the teams competing in it.
/gd/ is one of the boards renown for having a small, but loyal following. We already have a few posters over at the /vg/ thread, however we always try to keep the actual board informed and involved,...

Final Day begins now with /an/ vs /u/.
/gd/ will be up in the 4th game vs /out/, and if we win we'll also have the Semi-Finals and 3rd Place Match/Final depending on if we win or lose.

there's a software called GameMaker Studio aimed at people who want to make a game but don't know/care about learning programming which is not that difficult nowadays... another good one is called spine 2d. (you don't need to know programming)
>>260009
You can check out reddit.com/r/INAT or reddit.com/r/gamedevclassifieds. However, without describing what you have and what you need in greater detail, you'll likely not find anyone interested. People try to pitch their "insanely awesome" ideas all the time, and 99% it's just a waste of time, so people are wary.
Show some of your art. There are also several coders on this board (e.g. me), so feel free to post here as well.
