Hello /gd/ I'm fairly experience with illustrator but I can't figure out this one. I want to convert a smooth gradient from a gradient mesh to shades like the image on the right.
The work I'm doing has complex shapes so blend steps isn't an option here.
This effect was achieved by rasterizing the gradient mesh on the left and auto tracing it with a limited color pallete using Image Trace, but this is a retarded way to do it and the results aren't that great.
Could you guys help me out? I don't know if theres a plugin to do such...

Object>Rasterize
Image Trace>16 Colors (expand image trace window and adjust the number of colors to your liking. 10 seemed to work pretty well.)
(optional)
Object>Expand
Object>Live Paint>Make
(select the Live Paint Bucket)

Thanks but thats what I did in the first place to achieve pic related. You don't even need to live paint it.. I was looking for a workflow that didn't included the rasterize/trace option because it's intensive and results aren't that great, it's like giving two steps to front and one backwards..
Hey guys, how does this look? If I was an apprentice graphic designer, would this cut it to break into the industry?
Sweet!

I have no idea what idea what the second word says.

Im making a poster for my gf, she likes Interstellar, deers, triangles... Any critics for it to improve? I would aprecciate them very much :D
>>274444
why is the deer such low quality?
well i know why you just took it from google. honestly I dont think you are ready to make a good poster.
>>274444
Deer god that quality is shit
>>274444
Besides that deer, that text makes no sense.
To begin with, it should say "hacia" instead of "por".
Also, why would you gift something to your gf that says you are going backwards as if your relationship wasn't working?
I have been struggling with this for a while and I cannot just stick to text logos I need to add that "custom" feel to my logos. How can I use shapes maybe from photoshop and the pen tool with ease because those stress me out
How can I achieve a drawn logo or something like that without a tablet was my question
>>274427
Just get custom symbols or something, some are free, or buy em.
You can also make custom icons by combining shapes and parts of fonts, or other patterns, custom shapes, etc.
>>274428
>How can I achieve a drawn logo
draw it on paper - scan it - use the pen tool on illustrator to image-trace it.
Hi /gd/ first time coming here. I have a really important presentation next week, so I would like to know whats the best way to do a presentation with slideshow? What are some other alternatives to PowerPoint or Prezi? Cause I would like to use something different.
Its a serious presentation, so I would like something that looks elegant but different at the same time. Thanks
>>274285
i only use after effects for presentations slides (sometimes i even go with 3d animations i made myself) they always ask me what power point template did i use.

a good slideshow doesn't need fancy effects or visuals. it should only serve to reinforce the presentation you're already giving.
your pic, for example, is a shitty slideshow because it's full of paragraphs and bullshit that nobody will read, nor should they. especially you. NEVER READ FROM YOUR OWN SLIDESHOW.
each slide should contain no more than 3-4 lines of text (maybe 5 if you're really pushing it), and they should just be the main points you're speaking about. elaborate with...

Anon speaks truth. Listen to him.
This is my graphic design that i came up with
Take less LSD
Practice more
It took me like 20 seconds realize that was a d. And I'm not even high.
Try a little harder.
don't know if this is the right place to ask, but I'm looking for the name of a certain visual design
Specifically, visual designs from late 90s era US motorcoach seats. The ones I'm thinking of all had some sort of "rainbow" or similar patterns on a grey or dark ash background. Somewhat like pic related. Occasionally I think these patterns also showed up in various commercial carpets and fabric cubicle panels of the time as well.
also before anyone asks I am NOT thinking of pic related, it was not a tropical/rasta design at all
Why would you think that has a name
Looks like subtle kaleidoscope design
I know I'm a bad designer but I would like to know why

This is bait.
This is now a bait thread.

how this?

Really fucking stupid. Shove that up your ass.
Just finished a Vaporwave 1920 x 1080 Background for myself. Have fun.
>>273911
One of the most Tumblr things I've seen on this website. Very nicely done though.
>>273912
More like Facebook. Pastel post-internet aesthetic hasn't been cool on Tumblr since like two years.
>>273913
Nothing on tumblr is cool
someone that is good at editing can you put a circular audio spectrum GIF around the word saber in this image.
No.

What is Saber about?
how would you guys go about fixing / replicating this beard correctly?
i'm having some trouble, it's been a while since i've used Illustrator this much. the straight lines look really awkward to me but i can't make every beard strand thick.
left is the original sticker, it's really destroyed / faded so it's kinda hard to see everything.
>>274017
photoshop - color range (save each one separately)
illustrator - image trace (manually adjust each)
you could ask on /wsr/ for someone to do it for you.
>>274044
i was doing a little illustrator tracing, but the original photo is so old that it's a little hard to see where one strand ends and the other begins.
as for the color range, im not trying to replicate the rust i'm removing it
& i'd rather finish it up myself, dont want to get dependent on others for help
OP here, another question if anyone cares:
how can one get single strokes to have pointed edges? if you see the chin in my pic, i tried making a fully completed stroke and it just squared off on the ends.
Seems as the common trend is this vaporwave shit, allow me to contribute, took me 15 minutes
>>273459
>-no pink & blue neon
>-no sense of spacey consumer - oriented faux 90s nostalgia or early computer graphics.
try again
>>273459
That looks more like a 90' RnB video effects than vaporwave.
You tried, you failed, you should feel shame.
