My company sells products (5-10/y) that come with special software. I am currently working on the GUI and was wondering what type of licensing I would need for fonts. Can we buy a font once and include it into all our software, or do we need a web-font like license? How would that work?
I can't really find an answer anywhere, whenever I search for the terms 'software' and 'licensing' together all I get is some debate over whether fonts are software or not.

you can email the owner of the font and ask him or maybe just use an 'open type font' (e.g. gandhi sans, droid sans, roboto, noto sans, fira sans, source & source code pro)

There are three modes I made for this editor "compose", "review" and "distribute". They're more like workspaces in photoshop. Tools specific to that option will be brought up front.

i don't think there's a need for those icons (the colors make them really ugly and childish).
on a side note i wonder how the ux of a text editor make by adobe or autodesk would look like.
I started a series of photoshopped images of Bruno the Rugby Players and wanted to see how much it can evolve with the help from other photoshop lovers!

Did any of you go to college for graphic design? If so did it help you at all?
I didn't but I've managed designers who have. On some of the teams I've managed the designers who went to school for it did so to learn the software but it seems like there were a lot of tricks they weren't taught. What has put me in leadership roles on these teams is my project management, prioritization, and problem solving skills that were acquired through a lot of on the job experience in very fast paced environments. As well as my ability to inspire other designers to want to challenge themselves rather than just be a "dickhead manager/senior designer"....

I got a certificate in website design from my community college and did nothing with it- because I slacked my way through school passing with Cs and Ds and no good quality portfolio work. went back for commercial arts and am currently working on my associates and started building up a decent portfolio. next semester will be my last semester at this school and by then I'll have my website up, as well as a printed portfolio but then I plan on going for my bachelors in visual communications.
For me personally, it has helped. school gives me structure and a lot of my...

These are just ideas to give you an example, I reference them later on.
Is this a strong brand concept?
Hopefully someone will read all of this. Anyway I posted here a few times and got critiques on individual designs. Then I looked at everything and realized even though I got pretty good feedback there was no direction at all in the actual brand. So I did some reading and went back to the drawing board.
This is a mobile phone repair company. The main focus is their fast turn around time. They also sell phones and accessories on the side....

no. the average designer could make something better. it seems unprofessional and unappealing.
hi everybody, i have to create a menù for a friend of mine's restaurant using photoshop.
the menù have to be like a little book, like a little book.
are there any kind of guide or tutorial on how to create something like it?
>using photoshop.
already wrong
>>259464
>Photoshop
HAHAHAHAHAHAH
Make the background in illustrator/photoshop. Finish it with pictures and text etc in inDesign.
>>259467
The only thing bad about Photoshop for a menu is the lack of robust text formatting options. It's not like OP is putting together a multi page catalog.
In this scenario, using only photoshop is fine. Everything gets turned to raster before it goes on press anyway.

make a portfolio
make your cv stand out, print it on slightly different coloured paper or laminate it or something.
make sure you big yourself off. you're judged by that one page.
>tfw literally everyone in your class is better than you
>tfw teacher doesnt even critique your work cause its that bad
should i just give up /gd/? i dunno what i was thinking i have no exeprience or talent.
>>259365
it takes about 10,000 hours to become talented at a skill. If you feel your peers are better, its probably because they have spent more time doing it. That doesn't mean you aren't capable, senpai. Don't give up, catch up!

>OP remember hardwork beats talent!
I have a poster 95 x 120 cm and need to make 118,5 x 175 cm, i just dont know how to do it without losing quality. any suggestions are welcome!
If the poster is the pic, then trace it using vector editor.
>tfw still using CS5
>tfw can't afford CC subscription
Never gonna make it
pirate it

my business still runs on CS4 and I don't plan on changing that anytime soon
there is literally no real reason to switch to CC

Did they finally fix exporting transparent pngs?
What do you guys think about my design for my clan tag?
It was my first time using the animation setting on CS6 and was pretty user friendly.
What would you add to it?
Here's the animation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rv2s_TtcMgc

Please no.
Fuck off, we don't want 14 year olds here

I am using Pixelmator for a quite long time now and I'm super happy with it. My question is: Does it make sense to switch to Photoshop CC? Has it more to offer?
>>259311
yes, yes, and yes.
>>259311
t b h f a m paying adobe a monthly fee to use 10+ year old software that has a "new features" sticker on it doesnt make sense
Thoughts on Design studios and the cliche look they all seem to have? Is it sad that it's so hard not to slip into the ordinary when you think something looks good and then half way through your inspiration your like fuck! It's basically the same thing.
>>259310
Customers expect the same thing tho
what's so wrong about it except following trends stuff? a regular office is much worse
>>259376
This, give me a nauseatingly "trendy" office over your run of the mill cubicle farm anyday
