>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:

Do you agree? Ladies and gentlemen this is the most distinguishable and recognisable logo ever conceived. Like it or not, this is what peak performance looks like. Started off as a graphic designer, now doing animation. This was my first one ever! It’s pretty dark! - https://youtu.be/2HN6n6AQOSk Why are logos becoming so soulless? Is this a reflection of society becoming mindless consumerist zombies? Is it a reflection of people becoming less educated and thus more simple minded? What do y'all think? last thread reached bump limit newfag here, i saw one of this things a while ago and wanted to do this. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.graphicdesignforum.com/&ved=2ahUKEwi3r-uQoZvrAhXCo4sKHTWuDRwQFjAAegQIAhAB&usg=AOvVaw0hya92Ph9BTzsF8ZeYu4BV 
Hi! We are searching for artists who wish to push the boundaries of creativity to take part in an experiment. This will be a new approach to music and art production
Each of us creates a virtual avatar/stage name detached from our main careers and real identities, then uploads sketches/illustrations/music sections/stems/layers and incomplete projects to a single permanent cloud library. Others can improve/add/incorporate/wreck any of the stuff in the library until full projects branch out edit after edit. Our style won't be defined by the individual artists' technique, but by the collective creation process. We believe this process allows more creative freedom, or at least a different type of freedom.
The products must be anonymous (faceless, to be exact – only the virtual avatar is credited) and not for sale. As long as these two points are respected, any technique or topic – no matter how unethical or offensive – is permitted.
We want to challenge history's way of doing things by creating and showing valuable art outside the standard paradigms.

What did 4channel mean by this? You don't need CS or PS or Corel or even the painful proof of concept known as the GIMP... I have almost twenty years under my belt first with Corel then Photoshop and nowadays I do literally all my shopping with PhotoPea.com which had some other name before I think but is basically a web-based clone of Photoshop with only a few minor interface changes. Most key shortcuts are identical, toolbars are nearly identical. Unless you're rich on RAM but poor on bandwidth, I say go dumb terminal and let their servers do the lifting.
I have attached a photograph, however its contents are not directly connected to the written subject matter of this text-post. Ahoy! New one since the old one got archived post your projects,artworks that you working on rate others
give suggestions throughout my whole life, I've been using photoshop the problem is I'm gonna enroll college in the next few months and I just realized that every job and anything related to gd use illustrator as the main program, so I opened it for the first time and holy shit the U.I and everything is different from photoshop, I literally shat the bed with this one I couldn't do shit, all my experience with photoshop is useless now so all I need is to suggest me any videos that could help the migrating process or any tips from a fellow photoshoper will be appreciated
tl;dr
me use photoshop whole life
me realize illustrator is necessary
me has a good experience with photoshop
me can't use illustrator
me need help
also pic related, i did that as a first project in illustrator and it looks painfully ugly Any good torrent for Photoshop fonts?
Not any specific ones just a fuckton of them so I don't have to worry about it. Adobe decided to change the colour of Acrobat Pro logo. Now it clearly shows which version is superior. Best (legal) ways to use this software for less than €60/month? Can anyone share xScan by studio 2am? I know someone has it on here. Please
https://www.youworkforthem.com/graphic/E6111/xscan This company is stealing my art. Second time it's happened.
What do? Pic related. What's the name of that font, typically associated with very young childrens' entertainment (primarily books), characterized by thin letters with rounded edges but sharp angles?
Like, the capital letter E would have inner corners that are sharp right angles, but the ends of each prong would be rounded off and circular. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Almost always used for titles? Looks a little bit like pic related but not quite? https://www.makemepulse.com/

What do I need to learn?
I assume you need to learn how to code? If any of you guys have ever played a trading/collectible card game (or living/unique card game), or a miniatures game, or board game, or even certain types of video game, you may be familiar with the kind of iconography used to represent resources or factions in these games. Some of them are well-done, eye-catching, etc. Some are pretty bad. Some even have multiple versions, depending on the edition of the game they're in (or sub-faction, etc). Post your favorites, least favorites, and fan-made icons here. Or just discuss how terrible they are and how you'd do a better job.
Posting the classic 5 colors of Magic: the Gathering , and the second edition of the Ravnican Guild emblems to start. I need to make 1500 euro in a year.
I know some graphic design.
Is this achievable? I'm looking for individuals experienced with 3D modelling and CAD software who are interested in paid work.
Essentially the job is to create a scale model of a specific vehicle from image reference. The difficult part is that it's imperative that the vehicle is to scale, as specific measurements of various body components will be required for use in reproduction. Be in either physical blueprint reference or 3D printing.
The ultimate goal is to be able to replicate body panels from the file you will create.
Good money in it if you can deliver on claims.
Any other sources to find this talent appreciated. Peru just unveiled this commemorative banknote. What are your thoughts on its design? because i can only draw and i dont write as good as jk rowling or so forth so on
so what is the best seller artbook of all time???? you ever tried making a few dollars by selling a design on a tee shirt from those websites that let you plaster a design on a shirt or hoodie or mug or whatever?
If so, have you ever found one that lets you place your design on the sleeves of the shirt?
I'm having a trouble finding one.
pic kinda related NOT THE SAME AS THE Y2K AESTHETIC
y2k aesthetic is ethereal/space-agey, 2000s aesthetic is warmer, more down to earth whilst being maximalist
notable phenomena include gaudily-textured cgi anthropomorphs, potato quality internet media, maximalist design cues (sometimes to the point of being cluttered and overwhelming)
i'll start What is it about vaporwave or synthwave art that makes it so... nice?
I dont know how to describe it, it feels comfy, it feels like home, it is a weird feeling.
How wo you guys feel about it, as graphic designers or artists in general? Graphic Design student here, loving the work and the subject but just I cannot get my head around typography. What makes a good font? What makes a bad one? Is it all personal preference? Like, I get that comic sans looks shit on a funeral card but beyond that I’m fucking lost. Pic related, my work for a staircase in student accommodation. I currently only sell over instagram but it's not the best. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MRxEyZDjVU I tried many options but i'm fairly new at editing, can someone give me a solution ? when did glicth art die
now its mostly computer illiterate people barely able to run a script and cant even open the terminal with out shiting them self I made a plugin for Adobe Illustrator that randomizes properties across a group of objects.
Will upload some sample webms of me using it. What does /gd/ think? Any successful freelancers out there?
I have been unemployed since march and have been taking freelance projects ever since. Now I am using upwork and freelancer.com, doing mainly logos . I have barely been bringing in 500 a week after the rediculous 20% profit that this site takes from me, on top of paying for connects... and every client turns out to be such a fucking piece of shit that claims that I have to do more work for them than was actually initially agreed upon. Still have perfect reviews on there though, but I am growing tired of working with several very small budget clients that expect $5000 value work. I feel like I want to give up, I get so angry all the time.
What are the next steps I can take to working with higher budget clients, or working off of a different platform or no platform at all? Or can anyone shed any light on if freelancing get's literally any better than this? So after several mental breakdowns and looking inward to find what makes me the most happy, I've decided to move on from my non-art job and follow my passion.
Although I have no degree in GD, I do have some experience:
- I've been making layouts for music CDs, cassettes, etc. in a knockoff program called PhotoStudio for years (think illustrator without the ability to save .PNGs and a hard cap on font size at 72pt.)
- I could whip up a portfolio of those layouts pretty easily, granted it'd be a fairly skinny portfolio
- I've at least had working exposure to all the "main" programs: illustrator, Photoshop, inkscape, GIMP, etc. (but nothing in 3D)
- I passed one college course for GD fundamentals; back then I hated it but I also hated college in general, so I think the risk of not liking it again is low & worth it
Given that intel, honestly, how fucked am I and how can I mitigate any consequences that come with being this fucked? Why are gay aye so much better @design? Alright, I gotta get a DSLR camera, minimum 16 megapixels, for a GD program at my local college. Ideally $1000 or under. Who’s your favorite youtube /gd/er? Hello, /gd/.
I'm new to Photoshop and I want to try some easy effects.
Looking for something easy to start with, I tried the "turn to stone" effect, thinking it would work well.
This is as far as I've gone, but the hair, eyes and eyebrows look awful.
How can I work with that to create a real petrification effect?
Any ideas/tips?
Source pics in the next posts, in case you want to show something with my picture. I'm extremely retarded and I have no idea what to fucking call this. I don't know terms, so it's basically impossible to figure out.
All I'm trying to do is get rid of that section of white that's sticking out of the blue circle. In photoshop it's pretty easy to do with selection, layers, and clipping but when I see these in inkscape they don't work like how I'd expect them to, so I think something is lost in translation. saw this on /lit. not mine but very jealous.
dude in the thread seems like it could be one of you? I'm making some profile cards of my friends both for fun and the practical experience. The part I'm stuck on is what kind of font to use. I see a lot of profile/stat cards created with a really clean/straight font like in pic related and I'm wondering what the name of it would be or what similar recommendations to it would be. What are all the techniques I should learn to make logos like these in illustrator? i refuse to believe people are still making them at hand in 2020. I just got these Staedtler fineliners in 10 colours and I want to use them for my note taking, but I don't know what I should use each colour for (e.g. important details, minor details, main points, diagrams, conclusions). I thought you guys would probably know about colour psychology, so I decided to ask here: What is the psychological effect of reading in each of these colours/what elements of my notes should I use each colour for? Also this could be a colour psychology general I guess. Sorry if this is not the sort of post meant for this board, I don't come here often. One of you faggots said this a few months ago when I said I was slacking on my graduation work.

Mods can ban me, I don't give a shit. Hello, /gd/. I'm looking for your thoughts on pen tablets.
/ic/ had proven to be mostly useless due to constant shit flinging and everyone calling everyone else a shill. I'd like to upgrade my old Wacom Bamboo, and I'm planning to do a number of general creative things; drawing/painting, sculpting, and learning graphic design. So my questions to you all are as follows:
> Which make or model do you use? What about it do you like, and can/would you recommend it to someone else?
> Are the brands other than Wacom worthwhile? If you use a Huion, XP-Pen or something similar, are you happy with your make/model?
I've seen a lot of mixed thoughts on non-Wacom branded tablets, though I'm inclined to believe they're probably fine. What are models that match or beat Intuos in terms of features for around the same price (maybe less?)

Sorry to be an idiot but I lost my transparent version of this gif which was made on this board. Someone used a mask and made it transparent for me quickly and easily and uploaded it.
Could someone please make it transparent and reupload? I am happy to pay upto $5 sorry to be cheap I dont have much money = ( Hey /gd/. I'm trying to make a dank meme. But when I use the lasso I get these fuzzy edges. I don't want fuzzy edges, I want crisp, clear lines. I've tried everything: turning off antialiasizing, turning off fuzzy edges, everything! I couldn't find a guide online about this. Help me /gd/, you're my only hope. what's best software for making icons? Could someone here help me out, I'm 19 and I dropped out of art school (graphic design) due to me hating the culture and environment of that university and also how art teachers are stuck up their own ass. I want to gain a career by solely doing self-taught graphic design. just made this logo for a friends grindcore band, its my first digital project i've made on my own, share your thoughts and opinions :) Im a senior who just got out of high school and now that im out of school my school stopped my free photoshop subscription. I really like the program and they only started to give it out halfway though my Junior year because they got a grant or some shit like that, but with COVID and me being laid off my job and looking for colleges at the same time, I can't really afford to buy it. But it brings me to my point of I remember like 3 or 4 years ago someone on /b/ or something posted a thread like this and someone told them what to do and with /b/ now being basically a porn wasteland I have 0 idea where to post this. Please help me out if you can and if it helps my school has the latest version Y-you DO have a BLM poster and merch line in your portfolio, don't you? You DO want to signal relevancy and awareness of current events when you're looking for work, don't you? You DO have the right politics to work as a popular designer who gets jobs, don't you? What are your guys' actual jobs? Do people make decent money?
My job has ended up being more data crunching than graphic design but I still make shit ($38000).
Any anons wanna share? Advice? Best additional skill? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_H7luEMEkv4 
hi im trywanna to draw stuff with correct lineart but im poor and i dont hab enough electricity for too many ctrl z and im tredishionelist becuz my fegget lecterer said to go back basic and also internet and also art master on utube uwu and fongzhu deshun skool...
yeah that s hard to type...
ok basically i need to make linearts that are perspective correct and mathemathical precise... objects involved usually, drills, bike with turned wheels, plane propeller, from lower angles and variety of perspective.
so subject involved is
object x angles x perspective
so i need a mathemathical solution or geometry algortythm that i can use to do this, procedures if you may.... a general solutions to achieve maximum precision and true to life image Lineart. just lineart, no shading whatsoever, just thick thin lines. collections of lines to make a proportionally right image.
i heard descriptive geometry is da stuff but i couldnt know precisely how to use it as they seem conplicated but precise enough
i hope for the direction
thank you hi how do you know the right linework to draw of a certain object from many angle and pose?
the size, curve position of it?
say th object exist for your to reference..
do you use mathemathic? geometry?
no straight away 3d too, preferrably just the linearts only... Core Strategy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8gjDsW3lsY Do you know who is this?
This man created Neural network that able to create Logos without Designers helping.
And he said that Designers will not be needed in future more. and I don't mean the basic "elements and principles of design" found in wikipedia and youtube. I mean design thinking, theory, and, guidelines that can even prepare me for disciplines outside of graphic design like; industrial design, interior design, fashion design and so on.
recently I read "universal principles of design" published by rockport, it gave me a better idea of design but it doesn't go in-depth because it's more of a reference book(also its examples are outdated). The books in the pic are just random books I found in google, amazon, and /gd's wikia. I'm not sure how reliable they are. So I need your recommendation 
Hi anons. I'm currently debating whether or not I should leave Graphic design?
when getting my degree i had a bad experience in my design school. I was working so much I couldn't make a good portfolio and classmates were hardcore passive aggressive towards me. Teachers and classmates told me to 're-consider' my career path and that 'i was so behind' it was really discouraging. I want to say it wasn't a 'bad' experience but it made me wonder if graphic design was for me.
plus a lot of my classmates were a lot more advanced then I was so that was just very discouraging. even the teachers treated me differently and i thought teachers are there to help encourage you and they did the opposite.
Overall I am just really really unmotivated to pursue design anymore. I don't want to do a 9 to 5 job working in a cubicle. I think freelancing might be fine but I am not sure. i want to move to japan to see if i can re-kindle my love of design but the work culture in Japan is potentially even more difficult then american work culture.
are there any anons in a similar situation? Is there some path I can follow as a graphic designer that doesn't involve me being with petty co-workers, long hours, or crapppy bosses? interested on your design thoughts Im sorry if this is against proto. I normally live on /mu/, while i have ya, I made a submissions based magazine and i hope you love it. PAPERTIMES.ORG. If you're feeling great, submit. You probably wont be rejected and the mag is great. love yall >Recently signed up for a Photoshop free trial

Am I going to get charged or what? Is this a new shady way for them to make money, or did it glitch or what? Luckily they said if I do get charged they will refund, but it's odd. I'm making my own album cover that we made, but I'm not convinced by the title. What do you think? (by the way is Rock in Spanish).
I'm not a designer in case you think it's too ugly This is true though. Saving in jpeg but making the resolution at a minimal of 4k is a lot better. Is selling Tshirts through Amazon merch a good idea? Are there any better alteratives? What do you guys think? How can I obtain an effect the more similar to this photograph in Photoshop? I am making a 4chan clone and I need help with design. How can I fix this? US Space Force logo is boring, what would you rather it be. First to post a mcdonalds logo gets a bullet. Here's mine i didn't want to make a thread for this but i also didn't see a "stupid questions" general type or qtddtot
there was an anon years ago who told me that it was possible to recreate the pixels from an alpha channel, ie anon takes screenshot, makes waifu on transparent background, then you can take that and "heal" the image back to its original
pic related is what i want to do, try and heal the holes while not losing the overal transparency if that makes sense
it'd probably end up being the same amount of work as just editing it frame by frame but i still want to see if this does work
i was able to completely reheal each frame by duplicating the layer below it, then merging it top down piece by piece until the entire gif was fixed but i dont want to pixel by pixel delete 35 frames for transparency Hi everyone!
Lately I've been working on a color converter as well as some other projects.
https://pipeworksinc.io/CC
I was just wondering if I could get some feedback, maybe some ideas and if you guys think it would come in handy at all!
Next on my to-do list was to add color blindness simulation.
Please excuse some of my JS, I just wanted to get things functional before going through it and cleaning it up :) It's actually mind-boggling how a number of well-educated people went so far into researching the human psyche and the ways mathematics subconsciously affect it just to sell more sugary water.
Makes it all seem kinda pointless when the deepest secrets of life are meant to be sold.

>The underlying letter shapes of Go Mono are, like the Go sans-serif fonts, derived from humanist handwriting, but the monospacing and slab serifs tend to obscure the historical and stylistic connections.
What a crock of shit. This font is about as ""humanist"" as a 60s IBM typewriter. For god's sake, the font is metrically equivalent to Courier, but unlike Courier actually decent. I really don't see the connection to traditional letterforms at all. i want to make a page like this... anyone knows it's for streaming Does this style have a name? Looking for similar art for insporation. Sorry if this is the wrong place. How would I go about making an effect similar to the one that is masked onto the helmet and border in this image (Excluding the small dots, just talking about the gradient-esque pattern) Any resolume cracks by chance? Everything on google are sketchy download sites. If you were hired to make the next emoji, what emoji would you make? where do I learn how to design logos? What does /gd/ thinks about Neumorphism and apple's execution on it? I'm new to the graphics design guys, so I will need for your opinion about my last micro project. >UX/UI
>Product Design
>Web Design
How are you supposed get a job as a graphic designer without any of these? Every posting requires you to know vanilla gd and CSS these days ffs do you know any free alternative to resolume for vjing? for windows,free,with midi support,no generative but playing video clips,i dont care about 3d support. What will bring clients in?
You can suggest anything, would love to learn something new. How exactly do you color a comic like this, /gd/? I want to know how to get the noise pattern on gradients and on all colors, is it a texture overlay or what? If it is, how does it work on gradients like that? Is there a tutorial on how to do this style? I've seen it in a lot of comics. how can i achieve this asymmetric effect on a text? it’s like when you scan something and it looks irregular Video editing software suggestions?
I'm a small YouTube guy looking to step up my editing game.
I enjoy openshot as it is free and simple go use, but, it is about as powerful as a wristwatch.
Video pad is much better, but still feels limited. It makes it possible to easily overlay video footage so for corner cam on video game content etc..
But, I want to get into more complicated stuff, like sequencing animations over top of video footage, like RA the rugged man style face swapping,
Is this adobe aftereffects? Or premiere?
I guess what I'm hoping to get from this thread is some open discussion about which programs are best for more advanced video editing, subtitles, 3d text for intro content and shit (blender)
Any experience or insight would be blesses, I'm not entirely versed myself but I'm happy to share what I know :)
Got a coffee going, let's chat:) Hi, I'm 17 and interested in Software UI Design/Human-Computer Science. I've been designing in Photoshop lately, and after looking at some UI for inspiration I came across UI designs of 2011 and 2012, specifically in the iOS 6/Mac OS X Mountain Lion era of UI Design. Looking at it, many things were apparent.
> The sheer creativity of these UI
> How every single UI was unique from each other, unlike flat UI of today which I find repetitive
> The beautiful detail in every element of the UI whether it be the icons, or the interface
> The 'fun' factor
> Visual Eyecandy
Looking around, I see everyone furiously against skeuomorphism but I find it beautiful. What're your thoughts, 4chan?
Pic related, I designed a mock advertisement in the skeuomorphic style. I want to make a magazine. Has anyone here any experience? I don't know where to start can anyone point me in the right direction? Is this the wrong board? Do you guys know programs to export frames from a video that work on macOS Catalina?
I was using kmplayer but it doesn't work anymore.... So which business card is best looking? I've got a few paint blemishes on my 1966 Mustang, I was hoping someone who is skilled at photoshop could help me out.
First chip is by the drivers side exhaust port. hai gais! what's the name of the thing i can use to draw things on photoshop? being a Creative Director or Art Director and get a job?
My resume is shit being NEET but every couple of year I gotta work but I don't want to wagecuck
let's help each other game the system 
Post Client "Experiences"
>need his shitty logo for an animation
>tell him in the kindest way possible that he should get a new logo done, properly this time, since this is hard to work with and impossible to ever print
>he said previously that he got his current design from some fiverr designer who charged him like 500$ for literal shit and disappeared from the site
>you can obviously see that his "logo" is just a 400x400 cutout from an internet picture, doesn't even have a transparent version, absolute dogshit quality overall
>he defends his logo fiercly, even though he called the designs he got from fiverr horrible himself, says his cousin was able to animate it and he printed it on a hat
>mfw I imagine him wearing a hat with a pixelated, half-assed cut out illustration from the internet which is 400x400
>mfw I need to care about his insecurities because of a 30$ animation
How do I avoid putting my Clients in a defensive position? I'm just trying to help and advise them in their own best interest but they become agressive when you explain to them why their design is objectively shit, I just couldn't go further without mentioning it because I don't want anyone to see that the animation was made by me and possibly asociating the logo design with my work.

So this might be fucking dumb, but how can sonething that has a size defined by pixels, also have a PPI? How does someone know what size and shape you want to use for measuring and designing?
I don't really know how to explain it. I'll post more samples, but basically, how does the designer know what exact size and shape to use to create the overall design? How do you measure your design in such a way?
I know about the Golden Ratio and things like that, so is that it?
Are there any books for this kind of stuff?
If anyone just recommends some sources to watch or read I'd really appreciate it. Guys have any of you created art studio logos?
I paid someone $15 on fiverr yesterday, and I had to run to the bathroom today to puke from seeing what he turned up. I have a few pencil drawings that I would like to scan and then edit them in Krita. But where the fuck should start? Just give the bare bones and I'll google the rest.
Also, I barely know how to hold a fucking pen, so feel free to tell me the art essential, 101 stuff. Can someone suggest a dead easy collage maker. I'm okay with Photoshop but it's way more work than it needs to be.
Thanks Hello /gd/, first post here.
I want to start a tranlsation business on Fiverr, and as I know the appeal of a gig picture must be strong (witout clickbait) to get clients, I did this. How can I improve it? Does anyone have the The Definitive Guide to Free Fonts pdf that they can share? I'm poor I was thinking about vaporwave, pink being the main color.
Sorry for bad quality Paint.net >>Photoshop
Why should I pay an absurd amount if there is a perfectly fine alternative right here? Cartoon Faces Thread
1 or 2 ? Lets discuss where you are best in drawing worst in drawing and where you want to become better at, maybe we can help each other. Everyone is welcome.
I start: naming theme in distending order,
I am best at: light sources, clouds, trees, water, stone, girlys. smoke .
That's a pure skill list level, not a what looks best level. Smoke is for example much more easy as female humans, there for it will look better. Stone is pretty hard for example if you don't wanna make an average gray hidden by vegetation stone.
I personally want to become better at drawing girly's.
This smoke is btw. drown its not a overplayed picture of smoke or a generated one. Queria que alguém criasse uma arte personalizada pra mim nesse estilo, eu pago. how is this mockup i made for an upcoming html, css, js tutorial? I'd like to ask professionals here what you think are tedious, relatively low-skill tasks you encounter while doing design work, that you wish you could delegate to someone else, so you can focus one more important stuff.
I have a chance to be mentored by a relative, who is the head of an established and successful design and branding agency. I'd like to know how i can immediately be of use to this person.
Basically, what are tasks of little importance you'd rather not spend your time on, that you wish you had someone reliable to do for you? What was being a graphic designer in the 20th century like? Can someone photoshop this picture to go on 3-4x as long? I need a little bit of help, my friends. I am trying to take a series of images and extract color palettes from them. Every online tool I have found to do this never gives me the exact colors in the image when checked manually. I have never really done this before, so I can't tell whether this is by design or that these tools are just shit. Does anyone know a good tool that will give me the exact colors in the images, or can maybe explain to me why this is happening? Starting from pic related, I would like to "add" a "vertical transparency gradient" so that the code becomes progressively transparent with every line. I would them overlay the resulting image over a sciency-looking background.
How do I go about doing that? I'm using GIMP and I can't find how to add this transparency gradient.
Help very much appreciated, thanks! What's the modern equivilent of geocities /Lychos/ Angel Fire/ Freewebs to make raw simple websites using either html or a very basic html visual editor? I have a project that would be more fitting in something like that than using Wordpress or Dreamweaver like I've used in past projects.
I want it to look and smell like <== my fashion design teacher said this is shit, but she's shes a fashion design teacher I´ve searched for at least 2 hours and I cant find anything. The artist is called Miquela. P: 0 other user on this page
