I'm looking for resources like the ones in this pack (dealjumbo com/downloads/abstract-graphics-toolkit/), but can't pay for them. I know there are loads of free abstract renders online but none seem to be of this quality.
So then, what are the best ways of downloading paid "packs" and "bundles" etc., for free? On YouTube there's a community of people who "expose" shitty GFX packs from their community (search "obey the pack") but they're mostly low quality and cod related or some shit
How about setting...

p.s. if anyone has any requests them post them here and I'll share what I can.
here are 10 (originally free) gradients if anyone wants 'em. pretty useful for banner design etc.

Download Blender. It's free. Make your own. It's easy. Lighting is a bit of a trick though.
How would you redesign this logo?
>>257027
Start with a new company name that isn't terrible.
>>257029
Seriously, what an awful name. Makes it seem like they don't actually give a shit about whatever service they provide.
>>257030
Exactly, not to mention it gives no clue as to what they do, are they an Uber like company? Taxi? Mechanic? Insurance? All we can gather from that name is it has something to do with cars which could be any number of different things.
ITT: Uber icon redesign.
I'd like to see your ideas on this subject. Pic related is my try. CC would be also appreciated, since I'm still new.
>>256085
looks a bit stretched out, but not too bad
>>256085
Absolute shit. Looks like a wrench minimalist shit
This is all they needed to do.
Given the circumstances stances I figured this would be the best board. Turn this back tattoo into something better, I'll include a throw away email later, but I'm willing to pay for a good design.
Tattoo is very similar to this one, size and spacing differ slightly, if it gets serious I'll send a picture of myself to whomever I decide to pay.
there u go, much better

Thanks senpai
Uber changed their logo. It makes no sense at all, and they probably spent tens of thousands on this. I mean, it was shit to begin with, but WTF?
>>254888
I think it would be alright if it was just rotated 90 degrees clockwise...so you know...it makes a U at least..
>>254888
What the fuck? At least I could recognize the "U" in the car approaching me so I knew it was an Uber, the new symbol makes no sense. If I called for a car, and that came up to me I wouldnt believe it
It was designed by their douchebag CEO, that's why.

how to get this glitchy effect in Photoshop?
You literally need to glitch your image. Check the sidebar on /r/glitch_art. There's tons of info there.
Personally I recommend using this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lucagrillo.ImageGlitcher
It gives random results every time you use it, and it doesn't break images completely or glitch it too much like the wordpad effect tends to do.

Ouch, what's the font used in the FST XL image? Looks like some kind of Pan Asian Engrish serif knockoff. Too tall, weird weights, bad color... HEY BUT OUTSIDE OF THAT IT'S TERRIFIC

I find that most Transport for London graphics are well designed. They maintain a level of consistency and quality across their communications. They use a wide range of techniques / styles, while still keeping clarity. It is useful to see how they create a brand identity through the variety of their graphic design. This is just a general inspo thread, but they have a number of design guideline documents online if you want to look in more detail.

Here you can see the variation in styles, from photographic work to minimal graphics.

The roundel- their logo- is often incorporated into designs.
![tube_map[1].gif](https://i.imgur.com/FEk2AzW.gif "tube_map[1].gif")
The map is their most iconic piece of design. Rather showing the geographic locations, it show relative positions of stations and line to produce a clear map which is easy to read. Remember: the map is not the territory.

So we can all agree that this logo is sick as fuck?
Looks like some shit from comics about the future

That part, I agree with.
It's crap.
Hi, I would really appreciate some help.
Pic related shows a HUD I am designing for a school project, I want to re-create the outer curve which you can see on the right but designed with actual practicality since it does not fit with the speed gauge notches.
Can anyone help me? I am using illustrator.
>>257477
On the left* sorry
>>257477
Jesus, colors contrast is horrible!
My 2cents, since I'm more used to Inkscape, is to bezier the shit of a line. Just draw a curve, senpai, and change those colors.
>>257477
recreate the outer curve, then use path finder to divide them while using the inner-line-things as guide
Here's a little rant, it pertains a lot to fellow freelancers. Still not %100 quantifiable, like any other metric for our shit trade.
I just had a sweet revelation I thought I'd share.
There is a lot of talk about how to properly price a freelance job.
My epiphany is that it's the basic interest formula. I=PRT
So I used to price things on Value=Rate x Time
But really it's Interest, I'll explain...
We should be charging based off of investment/returns, not flat labor rates.
Example
you do a shit poster, 3 hour deadline at $60 and hour, you shave your numbers and charge 140$ Because you fucking know they can barely afford that shit. Meanwhile you do the...

So to give a non mathematical run down. If you knew you customer was ready to spend about $4,000 on consumation and you were to spend 3 hours working on said branding,you shoudl charge 1,350 dollars.
We can apply this formula to any job, just adjust the rate (R) as you see fit. Think of it like this, what % of you clients buget per hour should go to you?
Here are a couple examples....

the customer has invested 12,000 in renovations, now they want a logo, web page,...

Interesting. I like the general idea, but how do you even gauge someone's Principle? If you just ask "what's the maximum you're willing to spend for this project," any number you end up getting that's even remotely close to that will seem like you're trying to rip them off.
I was sent a copy of USA TODAY NETWORK branding guidelines. Want to check 'em out?
Well don't be a cock-tease, man. Post that shit up. Tell me there's a section on how to properly use their giant blue circle.
>>257424
There literally is.
This is actually one of the weaker standards guides I've come across. They spend pages explicitly detailing things previous made obvious.

Business card layout is literally shit lol
