I googled for tutorials and tried a couples of solution by myself but I'm still struggling getting the same grainy effect. If I apply film grain, dots are too small and they get lost.
If I apply texture grain, I get grainy coloured texture even if I use b/w gradient.
Any tips?

Been working on this. How is it? It's the logo and login screen for a swedish site.
>>259919
too big. they logo/icon is kinda lame... try reading the specs frrom google's material design they have the best sizes/proportions and free resources with boxes, icons, color palettes etc.
>>259970
>they logo/icon is kinda lame
how come
the logo is nice, but I think the backgroundcolor is oversaturated (sorry for bad english). Maybe you choose a less bright color like a dark blue
Having issues with Adobe Illustrator. I'm on a Lenovo Edge 2 core i7. I will be working in Illustrator for about ten minutes and it slowly starts to lag more and more and eventually the program freezes and I can't click on anything. I have to end the task every time and restart it. I notice while in the Task Manager that it's using an incredible amount of memory, but nothing that is a strain on my computer. Anyone else have this problem? I have Adobe CC and no other program does this to me. And I use InDesign, Photoshop, Premiere Pro, Animate, Dreamweaver, Muse,...

>Where can I find web devs ONLINE and chat/email to start right now on web deving, other than in 4chan?
If you can web dev and know HTML(5 would be nice), CSS, PHP(not needed but valued) WP(valued), and ecommerces(valued for future work I have)
Then upload your email in picture (so you can remove it after I email you)

I will pay for your HTML/CSS work on WP templates. (If you know PHP and know how WP works, that will help in other templates that I have)
Upload pic containing your email (so you can remove after I email you)
I have 2 templates someone to help me with, you don't have to develop/design a full template, it's all done pretty much.
Work level is medium to low. Like I said, it's little work, nothing to design from scratch.

Hello /gd/
I am currently trying to make a logo like this, but I am havin a real hard time finding resembling inspiration.
I know it is a really shitty sketch, but I am messing up sketching it already. It is supposed to be a birdcage with words under it.
Does anyone know logos or artwork where vertical lines transform to letters or even words?
Thanks in advance.
>>259743
try the eBook of inspiration logos by Jacob Cass.
>>259745
thanks
What can I do to improve this? It's a cover for a novella that I'm writing. I used paint for this.
I know it's really bad. I'm very shit at design, as you can see. Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this, by the way.
>>259739
put one big kanji in the center and make the rest very small (but legible) forming a circle around the center. also remove the black line under and research shodo calligraphy. and don't use 100% black or white.
AT LEAST MAKE THEM ALIGN

Any links/pdf?

What do you mean by “illustration books”? I don’t really see what you’re looking for…
A guy I know has this electric skateboard startup and I think his logo is fukin garbo m8, so do some people I've asked.
What do you guys think about it?
>>259723
Yeah it's terrible. No effort to elaborate on something so shitty.
Is that a joke?
>>259726
OP here, no it's not a joke, he said himself that's where he got inspo from... ugh
A new card shop opened in my neighborhood recently. This is the new store's logo. What do you think about it?
really ugly and i also thought it was a video game store
>>259709
Doesn't convey the correct intent, ugly, unprofessional.
First thought is NINTENDO logo
Evening, /gd/ anon.
To all you freelance designers, how do you brand yourselves? Do you have a nickname/alias? If so, how did you come to that decision? Do you just use your name?
Bonus points for: how do you brand yourself?
I'm in this frustrating situation where I just can not figure out how to brand myself and make those decisions logically. I think everyone here will agree that its easy to design for other people, but when it comes to designing for yourself... you become a paranoid perfectionist and get tired of ideas easily.
first name and last 2 initials
no abbreviation dots
theres no 'right' answer to branding. you gotta do everything and see what you can sell the best
>>259690
Thanks for the tip. I find it kinda hard to sell a name though... like it doesn't get the message across.
>>259685
That logo is literally three dicks
Hey guys, I have a kind of urgent question so I'd really appreciate your help.
I'm temporarily limited to a PC with the Adobe CS3 suite, and as far as I can tell Photoshop can't handle anything more than 3.2 gigs of ram.
Is this due to the antiquity of the version, which in turn means that updating to a newer version will allow me to utilize at least 8gb of ram? Or is the only solution setting a new scratch disk with plenty of free space?
Thanks in advance.
>>259617
I believe that is standard for software in 32bit windows.
>>259620
I'm working on 64bit Windows 7.
Photoshop itself is 32bit, but I don't think that would affect RAM management, since that's the OS' job.
Do the more recent suites also come in 64bit?
>>259622
http://www.zdnet.com/article/clearing-up-the-3264-bit-memory-limit-confusion/
looks like it's actually 4gb limit, but adobe had limited it to 3.2 for some reason.
But yes, a 64bit version of photoshop will allow more ram usage. I think 64bit didn't come until CS4 or CS5.
Why do you need more than that anyway? Unless you are doing Billboards or Tradeshow graphics everyday, there really isn't much of a need for that much ram. Even then, there are many ways around that when working...

Guys I need help, Im having an issue with illustrator, Im trying to do some inking and every time I go to make a stroke a dot appears at the start, The screen shot is what is happening, have any ideas? ive reinstalled drivers, restarted the program and computer and tried in other programs with no problems, I'm lost...
>>259616

>>259616
have you checked your stroke profile?
>>259616
are you retarded?
how does one go about making stuff like that?
I'm assuming illustrator/photoshop but I'm having trouble starting up
1. Draw a triangle
2. Color gradient your triangle
3. Add a different color to your triangle
4. Your stupid hipster art is done.
I don't know
maybe using photoshop's brush or illustrator's gradient mesh + some really good texture work
saved for inspo btw

check out James White, its called the NeoWave series
Hi, I'm an illustrator and I'm going to Poland this summer to take some graphic design classes. I'm doing this because I want to be able to understand more about design and understand what makes for good and bad design. Graphic design seems really intimidating because everyone who's in it already knows what's good and has very strong opinions and I feel like a dingo dongo dingus.
How do I get into design in a way that I can incorporate it into my life as an illustrator?
HeLp
>>259591
practice.
>>259591
Hi. If you're a beginner looking to improve and do bigger things, you'll have to look about the basics of art : color theory and perspective.
GD is something creative, so there is no rule, only guidelines that are proved to work on all thing.

General knowledge is REALLY important, the more you know, the more you are sensible to a graphic style, the representation of an object,...

A quick note to hopefully help you feel better. Good and bad are really subjective within any creative field; graphic design is no different. You shouldn’t feel bad/worried about liking something, even if everyone else seems to hate it, don’t ignore other people but don’t just accept that things are good or bad because someone else says so. Have taste, ask questions and learn how to express why you like something.
Answering your question though. I don’t know much about the ethos of an illustrator but...
