>What literature should I read to get into graphic design?
The sidebar on the /gd/ wiki has plenty of book reccomendations.
>What programs do I need to get started?
-Vector
Adobe Illustrator
Corel Draw
Inkskape
-Bitmap
Adobe Photoshop
Gimp
-3d
Blender
Cinema4d
>Which program is the best for X?
It's usually subjective if you pick a program in each of the right categories above. Use vector programs if your making a logo/icon/illustraton, use bitmap programs if you're messing with a photo or stock image. Gimp, Inkskape, and Blender are free alternatives and have the same function as the paid programs but the paid programs tend to be used more in a professional enviroment.
>What font is used in this image?
Try these sites before posting a tread asking for fonts:

Anyone else or am I the only one who didn't fall for it? Former designer at Bloomberg Businessweek and The New York Times. Now, she does "design goodness" for Homer, Frank Ocean's design magazine.
She apparently got ahead being a minority woman who makes designs that "challenges the power old, white men have over every day [non-white] people," and people laud her for it.
Is she the real deal or just a DEI LARP? No Jaguar thread? What in the actual fuck. Share designs and graphics utilizing noise. How do I cope knowing that the best logo ever is ruined by a retarded ideology?
Nothing comes even close to the swastika. It makes me depressed to the point of giving up logos completely. Post'em (extra points for foreign /rare) hi /gd/ this is my cat rupert i made some artwork for his grand birthday tour, what do you think? a picture of him next to it for reference It's ugly. It's the ugliest shit you could possibly make.
99% of homophobia is due to this abomination. If the gay flag were cool, if the colors actually complemented each other, if it had some cool lesbian animal symbolism or something like that people would LOVE the gays.
I try to tell this to people but they're in denial Request and share non-free typefaces and identification of typeface samples.

Before you request, do your due diligence by running your font sample through a font identifier;
whatfontis <dot> com
fontsquirrel <dot> com/matcherator (be sure to enable the myfonts setting)
myfonts <dot> com/whatthefont
If you're not getting a clear read then put your sample in PS, separate the letters and colour it to be pure black on a white background.

If somebody helps you then pay it forward! Illustrator is making a beeping sound whenever I select a white object.
It only started this morning. I don't know what happened. you gotta be fucking kidding me with this garbage its what the title said i used after effects for this since idk where else to put it i hope this dosent bother anyone Feeling unproductive AF this past year. Everything I make feels like garbage, desu. Thinking of quitting in 4 months and taking a 3-month break for personal development, maybe make the switch to UI/UX after. Anyone been through a phase like this? How’d you get your groove back and start making stuff you’re proud of? >all women but me and this fag

I want to fucking kill myself. I have to do trade school classes to escape military conscription but after the first day, i'd rather go to the fucking army or commit suicide. I can't stand being around these worthless nobodies who think they're going to change the world. I don't plan on pursuing graphic design because it's a dead profession but I did have a passion for it and was autistic about typefaces and logos way back when. AI just had to roll around just as I was planning to pursue it as a profession. I had to go through with it because as I said military and because I don't want to work a wagecuck job if I can help it. You get gibs for being a student too so that's another plus. but I know i'm going to piss away 2 years of my life for nothing. my portfolio’s solid, but all I’m landing are these small freelance scraps. Can’t seem to score an actual job. Should I rework my portfolio? Puff up my experience? Switch up the location? halp pls. Then you should know that at the current year of 2023 graphic design is pretty much dead. I was a professional gd for almost 10 years working in both studios and on my own and I can't really find a job anymore. It's not even because of AI to be honest, its because of how the industry works and how bad the corporate environment has become.
There's still web design, 3D and VFX/motion design(primarily 3D too) and if you want something similar or easy to transition then chose one of those but I'm not sure for how long they will be relevant themselves because of the AI which is basically a final nail in the coffin of gd. Of course there are and will be exceptions and maybe you will get lucky to find some obscure local business that needs you, but if you are young and looking for a career in the future you should stop consider becoming a graphic designer. This profession is dead. WHAT ELSE DO EMPLOYERS WANT??
I can't believe that I spend my whole day, reading your terms, answering your questions with long ass paragraphs (which is redundant since the info is already in my resume). spend hours making a short video presentation, which has to be one take, so about an hour to memorize and get it right. Uploading documents and self identification shit, making a couple of graphics to show my abilities, have to kiss ass and be presentable, all for a job that I don't even want in the first place. I HAVE to work for you because I don't want to Die of hunger!! "Why you want to work for us?" I don't. Nobody does.
I have a decade of experience, wore many hats, making me overqualified for the position, speak three languages and you still won't hire me. "Not good enough" What the fuck.
WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT???
I studied for you, I've wasted my life in 9to5's for you, dedicated all for job security and still not good enough! Finishing up poster project for a class. At the bottom we're supposed to include the qr code and info as shown. That's how I currently have it, but it looks ugly. Any suggestions? (Can't change the font) What is the next big aesthetic wave after Flat Design going to be? How much longer will Flat Design last? I've never had that before. When I just expand a text field, for some reason it either compresses the text automatically or expands it, and that's without pressing the CTRL key. Please help Im a chud vexiologist enjoyer and this is my flag >no entry level jobs

I have a question, if I produce images using illegal versions of Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign, do these images have any metadata that can be tracked to see if they were illegally produced?
and how do I remove such metadata, I tried googling this shit but it doesn't come up with any real answers on this topic
I'm just getting to the point of completing my 4th as well as 5th gd project for my portfolio and want to upload them all to Behance but also still not cause any problems for potential employers.
thanks
Also post your questions/queries I thought this board was supposed to be for porn??? Does anyone want to design merch for Duolicious? I'll shill your designs and give you 100% of the profits for the first few months.
I know I could use AI, or Fiverr, or Dribbble, or other stuff like that for designs. But all the AI tools I've tried seem hesitant to emulate even the innocuous facets of Twitch culture, let alone 4chan. And I doubt it'll make designs that work well for embroidery, badges, and anything which isn't a direct-to-garment print. Fiverr's work quality is trash and no one replies on Dribbble.
If you're interested, could you post ITT and/or email your portfolio to [email protected]? HALLOWEEN AIN'T TIL MAÑANA What do you guys think of the Logo for Humpty Dumpy? Is it a good logo and does it need a redesign? >With this technology a 2D vector drawing can be arbitrarily rotated in 3D, resulting in a 2D vector art representing the object from the new view.

Graphic artists are officially BANKRUPT AND FINISHED. With this a single dude with some SVGs can create an entire animated film. How does it feel to never have to redraw an SVG ever again? Haters will say we need to ban this technology! their excuse is that it reduce splastic consumption by 84% but it literally just a white cube that doesn't even display the product and no, they aren't making it cheaper.

share some of your favorites We need to do something about ugly UI epidemic. I've spent years doing UI, UX, and graphic design. I want to start building some web stuff myself, but I'm daunted by the steep learning curve. HTML and CSS come pretty easy, and I understand the fundamentals of flex. Jumping into this side of things isn't so bad.
But I'm daunted as shit by JS. Suffering through the initial Hello World tutorial sounds brutal, and even beyond JS, merely setting up and maintaining a workspace (vscode, the terminal, installing packages, git, etc.) looks painful.
Anybody know of a decent video course with a tolerable instructor and a focus on modern techniques (flex-centric, good JS framework)? I want to change the letters from WB to SF on this logo. I want the WB style font used for SF. Can anyone get that done? constructive criticism only,,, this image is uncanny for some reason i feel disturbed I work for figma - give me your hot takes / feature reqs / q's.
in b4 ligma If you have any free AI tools you've found on the web can you please share it with me here? For example stuff that does image enhancement or let you change things like the hair of someone, generate images etc... This will be very helpful Hi awesome graphic designers, recommend me a carpet for this room (preferably circular)
I was thinking a simple yin-yang or Lina Cavalieri but it‘d probably be ugly af Not sure if this belongs here but since it's regarding photo manipulation (which counts as graphic design) I might as well try.
So I like this genre of edits of women called "Natural/Modular Body Magic", which basically means that they look like they either had their heads magically removed or that they never had any at all but they can live just fine without them (like dullahans), but many of them are pretty shit so I wanted to make some good ones of my own, the problem is that there are no good tutorials online on how to make them, so I was wondering if you guys could guide me on how to make them.
Pic related is more or less what I want to achieve, something that looks relatively natural and organic, rather than just a quick and sloppy MS paint job. I have a Wacom tablet but I can't draw for shit.
I can't look at the screen and draw at the same time.
Should I just pick a tablet with a screen, even if it's more expensive? I mean this gold thing. Tried to recreate it with photoshop liquify but thats just not it. I'm on my 4th semester and I always wondered why so many fags and trannies study this career, any answers? I came to work at 8am and had an unreasonable request for a flyer design by 9am, I just used AI to create an attractive text centerpiece and sent it for approval, they love it, what does this mean foe the future of the graphic design career? I a broke GDer for 12 + years embraced the AI satanic demon sold my soul to a production house that makes ads & now im making so much money making shitty ads using templates & ai
these greedy fucking markets don't give a shit about your art these fucks are soulless demons time to sell my soul a LITTLE & use these fucks to fund my reset while I slowly move into /3/ From a designer point of view, is pic related an aesthetic combination of colors for clothes?
Two colors per outfit + an optional third for accessories (not on the image).
3x2 on top and bottom, from left to right
Which other 2 color combinations would be acceptable. Please provide #hex started doing contracts last year using this piece of shit china-tech. use ricoma This link is down, does anyone have a copy of fonts.zip from the pinned thread? How do I even make a good poster that doesn't use copyrighted material.
How to I circumvent copyright law and do as the big guys do, steal and get away with it.
I am not da vinci nor picasso, I wanna STEAL AND GET AWAY WITH IT!
Stealing small vector designs, cool pictures, famous person pictures, etc, etc, etc,
What do you all use that Makes me able to LEGALLY steal. Even if it's AI, isn't it real? Give it to me straight, lads.
How is the move from Adobe to Affinity?
And how does Affinity square up with Photoshop? I don't know how anything works or what to do. Is there anything like the Blender Doughnut to help get me started? Do you have any suggestions for a beginner project or something fun to do? I heard that calling companies and annoying them with your stuff is what you have to do to get a foot in this industry
I don't get it personally. Why don't people take E-Mails seriously, they just ignore it. Why is making a call so important, what makes it so different? WHY ARE THE CAPTCHAS SO DARN DIFFILCULT?????? Is MDE/Sam Hyde's current art style cool or embarrassing? Sincere and naive or ironic? Super disheartening to see this. Any designer could have done an illustration, any number of local artists could have created a piece for this event. It's a seminal event that marks the reopening of Detroit’s Michigan central. Truly monumental moment for Detroit, highlighted by the crazy opening concert directed by Eminem and it wasn't worth getting a person to do the poster? Very sad.
This is one of those moments in the history of ai that I will look back on with genuine disgust.
A soulful event with a soulless AI facade. Any good starter book or video recommendations? Any advice is also welcomed Vexillology/heraldry

No gay reddit NAVA shit Where do you pirate all their shit? I haven't downloaded software in years so i'm just looking for help with that Am I the only one who misses this style of t-shirt design? Pictures, simple geometric shapes, scattered text with not much meaning, no attempt to look vintage?
I swear they stopped making modern designs like this, it's all vintage or back prints. Umfortunately I have no idea where to find this style on a shirt. I just love the vibe. how do i make something like this You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like. What's the best way, good way, simplest way to do it?
>for what
For me, just routes. Hey what gpt do you guys recommend. ChatGPT is failing me today, see pic tried my hand at it in audacity, then did some extra work in PS. what do y'all think? Is there a way to vectorize bad quality images?
I'm a physics student and I don't know much about art design. I often find myself having to redo images as pic related in circuitlab or whatever cause I have to make a presentation (in this case about photodiodes) and the books where I have to get the graph are all blured. It's even worse when I have to use a image or a certain plot, cause in that case to reproduce the function to get a pretty plot is not as easy. Is there a way with AI or whatever to get a svg from a bad quality image like pic related? Is it retarded to use fountain pens? first up, cattle decapitation I fucking hate this piece of shit so much.
Fuck anyone that uses it. Absolute faggot ass shit.
It's so unintuitive, clunky, old and retarded. And mind you I'm using the OFFICIAL LATEST PAYED VERSION.

Because in fact, this is precisely
what most of these collections of techniques have always been designed to do. The
early scriptures of the Buddhist canon are very clear – the fundamental ‘fetter’ from
which the practice of meditation is supposed to free us is ‘self-view’: the mistaken
belief in the permanence and consistency of our individual selves. Modern yoga
derives from tantric practices seeking unity with the divine (like all theistic
mysticisms), which is di erent from the Buddhist Nirvana of non-existence, but
which nonetheless involves an equivalent abolition of the individual subject’s
individuality. If the discovery of psychedelic drugs – which can induce experiences comparable to
classical mystical experiences, both regularly and repeatably – has
made one major contribution to scienti c thought, then it is to demonstrate
conclusively that such experiences are not supernatural or ctitious, but inherently
corporeal, material, and physical

-NO reddit meme rotational symmetry
-forward slant suggests forward motion but not to the point of being obnoxious
-non-obvious association with product or service offered (pizza) but at the same time everyone knows exactly what it is
-simple, primary color scheme I was wondering if anyone has seen this sort of art style before. This style is exclusively used in storefront signage at liquor stores, sandwich shops, eateries, etc. Growing up in San Francisco, CA the 90's, these signs had always stood out and fascinated me for their silly anthropomorphic nature, realistic detail and similar paining style. Have you seen these anywhere else in the United States, or around global community for that matter? Where did the inspiration for this uniform style (painting technique, eyes, subject matter) originate? Got it on behance. Is this a scam? I checked the name of the agency and it does indeed exist in Dubai and I didn't find any information online that it's a scam company. But the messages themselves are very strange and I really don't trust these "trial task" job offers. Also 800/month for 40hours/week is very low. I thought they are all millionaires in Dubai. I checked the files they sent and it's not an exploits or viruses. Should I just do it? Somebody was paid money to "design" this piece of shit. What now? How do I make cool wallpapers like this. What is your workflow like when you want to print a map using Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop?
I'm a newbie so I've come up with just two methods which I'm not entirely satisfied with. They're either:

2 - Extract the shapefile and open it in QGIS
3 - Go to layout and add items (legend, scale bar, etc.)
4 - Export as PDF to Ai/Ps and add some finishing touches
