ITT: We post aesthetic/esthetic stuff.
i wish there was a board called aesthetics that would i guess be a mix of /wg/ /p/ /fa/ /gd/ and maybe /s/ and maybe /tv/, with some more architecture
would be more useful then relying on google images

pinterest is good for this
Is there a way to create an animated brush? You know that way where you create a pattern, put it on the brush tool in illustrator, then you can paint with a pattern? How would you do that if the pattern is animated?
>pic related, it might not be a sine curve, it might just be fire, flowing water, or whatever non-monochromatic brush you want it to be.
Here, a cringeworthy sketch of how its supposed to look, say my pattern is the one in the gif, and I want to make it a brush.. to be the path of anything I want it to be, in this example, a part of a circumference.
So is there anyway to do this? or

So, after I started thinking about it, and made the ends match the start of the symbols, I notice that you can't warp symbols in flash, which is total bullshit, therefore, I can't make a very good corner, and things start to overlap for less wide stuff.
Also, I had another idea of merely making lots of brushes, where every brush is a frame, and then putting it all together, but that sounds like tedious work, is there not an easier way?
>>249211
The symbols don't wrap, so you can't make tight curves with it. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

If you're doing something simple, iMovie or final cut should be fine. I suggest getting an adobe cloud account. Premier and after effects are the dynamic duo really, but Blender has a sequencer if you have zero budget.
I'm having trouble getting any kind of isometric shapes set up in Illustrator. I've tried several guides and turning snapping on and off yet I still can't get shapes I create to line up at the points, and the lines to meet and not overlap. Does anyone have experience with this?
When I manage to line up the other anchor points, this happens at the last one.
>>249713
enable smart guides and follow this
>http://design.tutsplus.com/tutorials/how-to-create-pixel-perfect-artwork-using-adobe-illustrator--cms-23907
other way would be doing things flat and then use extrude bevel to rotate the shapes around (not sure if people use this but it's way easier since you can save the filter config and apply to multiple shapes or groups)
nigga, just make like an isometric grid.
heres how
PT1:
make a rectangular artboard
add vertical strokes to both ends
object -> blend -> make
object -> blend -> blend options:
- spacing: specified steps [50 or something]
ok
select that shit -> right click -> transform -> shear -> 30deg -> ok
ctrl + c -> ctrl + f -> transform -> reflect
I'm trying to find this pattern on google images, but whenever i type things like "abstract pattern cell beehive" I get either too organic or just regular tiles.
What is it called and where can I find more of this kinda pattern?
>>249929
Low poly?
>>249930
thank you :D
Two main groups I identified
serif vs. sans and varying thickness vs. static thickness

Could I get some feedback on my resume layout?
To the left is the grid Ill be using, to the right the blackout placement of text and items.
A CV/resume dump would be nice aswell
>>245790
>Right side focused document in language that starts on the left.
Yeah, you should reflect that.
>>245793
left side bar was just going to be a listing of programs I have experience with, rather then listing it on the bottom. I dont think it will distract from the main body
Since there is a thread about CV/Resume, I won't create a new one.
Ive just finished this one and have no clue how it looks, since I got some free space where I didn't know what to put so I just add a "thank you for reading this, now get to your phone and hire me!".
What should I do to improve it?
Hey lads
I want to add special effects (nothing huge like corridor digital or anything) just stupid shit like a transparent explosion video over my face or me throwing a 2d sprite of something. I'm obviously not spending assloads of money on Vegas or after effects for something like that. Anything you guys can recommend would be great.
Pic related, basically the only thing I would be adding to a video
>>249761
For some reason I saved as jpg.
Before it was a transparent gif (literally Google transparent explosion gif)
Adobe Premiere CC,
You can torrent it on pirate bay
>>249761
all the major editing programs are easy af to torrent, so go ahead and get sony vegas or something
Questions That Dont Deserve Their Own Thread

but theres no place to ask them otherwise.
please ask your questions here and help out one another
I'm using Photoshop and I'm trying to make a selection from one layer and move the contents of a different layer to align them properly within the selection, but when I move it, the selection moves as well. It wasn't like this before, driving me crazy.
>>248374
What tool are you using? Use the move tool on the selection (not free transform) and it should work.

I don't have time to read every book on the wiki page, are their one or two books out their that are a must read? a "loomis" or "vilpu" of /gd/ if you will
Sup /gd/! What's wrong with my design?
*I'm making a local cyberpunk themed video game. Pixel graphic.
>>249620
First thing i noticed was the pixel "blood", it shouldn't be clusterfucking with the other letters. That's one man's opinion though.
>>249621
Thank you Sir for the comment.
>>249620
Change the text's main color to something like #e5e5e5. I think the design itself looks cool as shit, we just need some legibility on the text.
I want to get a copy of the attached design at a higher resolution.
Can I trace it somehow and scale it up? I figure since the design is hand drawn to begin with the tracing will not ruin the look.
In case it is not already obvious, I am mostly unfamiliar with graphic design and the tools of the trade.
I would appreciate your tips!
>>249849
I'm not sure whether you want it in vectors or just a higher resolution. You literally can just search for the scene from the movie and find the original picture they used.

Same anon here, did a quick rendition.
I realistically could've traced the whole thing but it's not worth my time as I just wanted to see what I could do in a small amount of time.
I live traced it and it didn't come out that bad.
>>249855
This is useful for actually achieving my ultimate goal, which is to reprint the design on better material. So thanks!
But I was also interested in how I might create a vector of that image.
So I am trying to transform text, in a way that it looks like the image, in Illustrator. Anyone who can help?
>>249845
Look harder OP. The answer is on that screenshoot.

Hey /gd/ i need help big time , i am new in giving online lecturing, i am math person , so i need to do this transparent hand like in video , how do i do that ? as always Anonymous.
>>249780
it looks like a hand in front of a green screen with a image overlaying it.
Yea i saw few times on net , how hard is to do this?
>>249782
Well, the question is do you need your video to be super high quality?
Sooooo i wanna get this fire/flare effect on my logo but i'm fucking up everytime i'm trying to make something like it. Do any of you guys know any methods of doing so?
Logo right here
If you can tell me the difference between these too pics, you can actually explain it to yourself.
>>249763
don't do it. i never seen a decent logo that have flare on it. but if you are making a banner try looking for itzqehzy or mbapsgraphics (http://mbapsgfx.carbonmade.com) on youtube they both made a photoshop pack with different effects (flares, grunge textures, particles etc.) so other people can use on their designs.
b.t.w. your design would look way better outlined see:
