>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.

If somebody helps you then pay it forward! 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'm from the US and am on vacation in Europe and I bought this pate in the store earlier. I really dig the simplicity and color of the design. do any of you guys draw, like regular normal drawing? post your drawing? The #1 Reason i now hate this fucking JOB
>I'm a recluse introvert i just want to sit in a dark room & make shit i don't want to become a faggot for a retarded audience Looking forward to be a Freelancer Graphic Designer and Blender Artist.
I'm a 19 years old male, I decided to not attend to college because In my point of view, it's just not worthy it, paying thousands for something you can learn online. Here is my problem though, I don't know where I should start. I feel like I'm not confident enough, and I don't know many places where I could capitalize over my work.
I'm currently working at my family's business, but it's so annoying having to work with public, and being at a family's business doesn't make you feel like you are independent. Which is what I'm looking forward to be.
It's been hard since everyone tries to push me into college, because in their mind, college = easy life. And I really don't bother getting minimum wage as long, I'm doing something that I enjoy. What are some good collaborative sketching/drawing services or applications?
Personally I'm looking for something that'll work as a graphical version of google docs, similar to flockdraw or ziteboard with decent tools for sketching, support for text and large canvases, as well as the ability to embed pictures and possibly gifs, ideally free/open-source or self-hosted.
But feel free to share other related tools, anything you think is good. Hey anons, i have a selfish request. This is an exterior design of a house I plan to build.
Without changing the proportions too much is there any way you could make it look more cool and aesthetic?
Im not sure what but i feel like something is missing from it looking very cool, rich and futuristic.
I hope this is the place to ask.
Thanks in advance my Nwords
Note: the big windows are North-west facing Is there an easy way to replicate the image degredation from repeatedly copying/faxing a document? Ideally this would be for PDF files, but any format would be better than nothing. What are you working on, /gd/? Is it even possible to incorporate rainbows into your designs in 2024 without it being a political reference? Is there a set of rules to generate Nine-Fold Script characters from Small Seal Script characters?
Or is it completely up to the artist? Redesign It. From Scratch Does anyone have a crack for the adobe softwares? Out of college now and I really don't have the spare money to pay for the softwares I need. I need Illustrator, Photoshop, Aftereffects, Indesign, and a couple others. Can you fix it? Show me what you got /gd/ I no longer know how to make money as a graphic designer Its all so hopeless Do I have the right to use 4chan's gradient background (along with a similar color theme) for a website ? Go fucking nuts with it. :) form an artistic viewpoint I made an animated illustration about the Devil. What do you think?

A painter asked me to design a book containing approx 120 paintings.
Their sizes and ratios are quite haphazard, and some of them are good enough to take up a 2-page spread alone, while others are kind of rough and should be small in the book.
Please share your experience and tips on this kind of project. I need to generate a very long building as pixel art. The picture should not be 1024x1024 square, it should be 1024x4096 or 1024x8192 long. What can I use to do this? Hi, Ive been into graphic design for a while, and I really feel like I wanna start doing my own thing instead of just admiring others pieces, where do I start? What book is best to read for the fundamentals? How should I actually build my own style? Anything helps, maybe its not the best place to ask idk, but I feel like some of you guys got a good grip of whats good and not. :)

Why is this aesthetic wrapped in with the Windows 8 "Metro" theme? They were not even in the same decade. The colorful/grungy and flat style was a thing of the mid to late 00s. Windows 8 was released in fucking 2012. The style was already dying by the time Windows 8 came. There was nothing in this style that look remotely related to Windows Metro. And why is "Frutiger" even in the name? It doesn't have anything in common with Aero other than being in the same decade.
These names people are coming up with make no damn sense. no overarching theme
just post stuff that you like and think other people might like
be it just because it looks cool or you think it's exemplary of what graphic design should strive to be whats the secret to making posters look professional? Im very good at proportions/perspective and it has always been my dream to make videogame covers and book covers and I now also want to sell posters online but have gotten bad feedback on pic rel, one that i worked ages on.
I can't tell if its because it doesnt look professional enough or people just don't get that in the early 2000s, that was just the style, with the cropping and the lower resolution. How do I make it so i can make posters sell without losing my style? Anyone know what font this is or any similar one?
I need it for an indesign thing.
Also how do I change the fonts of all textboxes in indesign?

How do you think they will ruin it bros? A splendid time is guaranteed for all Anybody else just recreate stuff? I was organizing my e-book library and noticed the cover of this book was extremely low-res, and every other image I could google was either low-res or the wrong aspect ratio for my Kindle, so I just re-did it in photoshop lol.
Have you ever done something like this anon? Maybe you recreated an obscure CD cover or the graphic for an out of print t-shirt? Show me! Attention is the only currency /gd/ is dead how can i use my knowledge & skill to get the most attention Do literally anything with this image, repost in thread, next poster has to edit the last edit I love finding new artists/designers but a lot of times the artist of an album cover is not credited on Discogs, which to my knowledge is the best discography website out there. Has anyone found a solution for this?
Let's take for example the following album:
https://www.discogs.com/master/3322963-Meduza-Meduza
Now I:
1. Checked all versions listed below but found nothing (And I am lucky because some releases have a lot of versions)
2. Check the uploaded booklets but that is becoming useless with more digital releases (and I found nothing btw)
3. Use reverse image search but found nothing (Tineye, Yandex and Google)
Please keep in mind that I am looking for an overall solution, not just this particular album. Alright c'mon, who's got it?
Will trade for Suisse Int'l and Suisse Works.

Good or bad?
Post also work my father made and I edited... Hello /gd/ I am coming here with a request today. Can you guys help me find the original picture and the original drawing of these 2 demo's from a French band called Peste Noire? I have been trying to find the original ones for a while now and I have not been able, using Google and Yandex, I even contacted someone who had the original tapes, but sadly they sold them by the time I asked him for the scans. Thanks for your time and effort! I really appreciate it! 
>fellow designer and I were assigned to assist with designing some banners in Figma
>Fellow designer’s title is technically “Art director” so she often feels like she’s the senior or leader despite us sharing the same role on this project
>I make a set of banners
>next morning I find out she adjusted the headlines on most of my banners
>she has a tendency to do this on past projects we’ve worked on with Figma
Is this normal when working with Figma or is my coworker just being a cunt? I wouldn’t be so annoyed by her edits if they were actually good, but every design edit or suggestion she’s made was always poorly received. If I tell her a blend mode should be set to “Lighten” to get a certain look, she’ll say it should be set to “screen”. Then the next day she realizes it should be “lighten” after all. I’ve found her moving some elements into the bleed area of certain templates, just because I guess she thought it looked better, but obviously she didn’t bother to look up the specs of the template. These Ai programs are taking our jobs! How are we going to stop the Adobe Illustrator files from taking over? I'm new at life. Can I just drag and drop PDFs or images or something from InDesign into a Microsoft 365 PowerPoint so I can actually use cool type faces and interesting lines and curved text and shit?
I've been searching how to do this, but all the sites do all kinds of complicated things where the exported files have to be converted or show up as links in the PP.
I'm new at everything and so scared it will fail during the day I present :....( :o who the hell designed the 4chan banners, they are so simple yet so fun
share some of your favorites Anybody know how to recreate the circle pattern of this goreshit album in photoshop? How is Affinity Photo standing against Adobe Photoshop? At what level do I notice difference? I really like their pay-once thing.
Yes I know I can just crack Photoshop. 
Why is this program so fucking... I don't know, "retarded by default"? I made a 30kx30k transparent canvas. I have a bunch of 1920x1080 screenshots I want to stitch together. Does 10% zoom and that size look like it dropped a 1920x1080 image into a 30kx30k grid? No, it doesn't. The fucking thing apparently thinks in terms of pixels per inch or something, perhaps because it tuned towards printing viewed at a certain distance (?), not raw pixels. So when I place a 1080p screenshot, into a grid of a certain and explicitly specified dimension in the unit of PIXELS not INCHESxPPI, it fucks it all up. Rescales text, all manner.
Seriously, what is this bullshit. I recall searching for how to make this work as expected some time ago, and don't recall getting anywhere. Go to do something real quick a moment ago, realize again. If I have a 1000x1000 canvas then I should be able to line up 10 100x100 image chunks and have them render exactly as they were screenshotted. No pixels per inch, no pixel aspect ratio, no viewing distance, no bullshit.
This has to be simple to fix and I'm just retarded or something. GIMP etc behaves as expected, but I'm not fond of it overall. I have zero technical skill and zero artistic training but I made this in 1 just 1 minute. How over is it for you? Put anything your heart desires into his hands, I just need something how come it is so easy to delete unused side of bezier handle in illustrator, but it is impossible to do so in after effects? Instead of simply deleting it I have to drag unwanted bezier handle to anchor point to shrink it down eveytime hoping I don't mess up the side I actually want because these two handles are connected.
Am I missing something? It seems like adobe made this arbitrary decision so people would use illustrator more instead of doing everything on after effects. Not a big fan of C4D myself but I have noticed that all the new mograph tools (Spline3D, Cavalry, Fable, UE5) implement a direct copy of C4D’s Cloner/Effector system. Does everyone really find this the most intuitive way to animate or is it just trying to create familiarity? New to typography, can't find something on type specimens copyrights, can I just make my own fonts from the books and give no fucks? Would be grateful for links Combining @StabilityAI #StableDiffusion generative powers + Human guidance and graphic skills* with tools like @Photoshop in a coherent workflow.
https://mobile.twitter.com/wbuchw/status/1563162131024920576 Is going to college (either for a degree or a certificate in design) a waste of money when things like skillshare and udemy exist?
I've been fucking with photoshop for well over a decade but only got seriously in to design recently, and I'm enrolled for a certificate but I can't shake the feeling that I'm spending several grand on an education I could match for several hundred dollars so long as I put the effort in. Hi, looking for a website that would be good to draw band logos in. Should i use vector? does my shit suck im just messing around in photoshop
didnt even know this board existed lol How did they make this movie poster before photoshop? Is there a proper name of this design trend that it's Japanese blocky characters with English characters/names?
I'm trying to search for it but I couldn't find anything ok so i want to make a background by combining 6 images , by combine i mean like lined up with a vertical cut like pic related. (made it in paint to show what i mean) The thing is i don't know how! Im a geolayers Semi master what job can i get ,
how the fuck do you get a job in a video game studio or in Hollywood or should i just try to work for a big youtube until I'm on my 4th semester and I always wondered why so many fags and trannies study this career, any answers? First sig in at like 15 years kek. Havent touched gfx since but remember how fun these were to make on planet renders/PSL how would YOU redesign the 4chan homepage?

Bottom flag is for referance. Maybe you could use flecktarn camo patern as the base instead of multicam. I want to start designing some models for 3d printing, which is better for a beginner from your point of view? Hey /gd/
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'm doing a collage wall on one of the living room walls but it looks ass so far. I tried to do street art style mixed with pics and logos of things I love but it doesn't look coherent enough and more like junk than an interesting aesthetic.
Pic related is a nice one I found online but I have no interest in horror movies so I'd feel weird about copying them.
Pls post good collage walls for inspiration. Help me make those ignorant plebs in /vp/ recognize that I'm right those ignorant mongrels don't understand that black IS a shade of blue.
>>55579040 Hello gents, I was wondering if anyone had a new mediafire link (any file sharing platform for that matter) that contains a boatload o' fonts. Old one seems to have been zapped by mediafire. Thanks.
pic unrelated Am reading german design/typography material from 1928, wanted to share an excerpt:
on the topic of ornaments - "The more primitive a people, the more extravagantly they use ornament and decoration. The Indian overloads everything, every boat, every rudder, every arrow, with ornament. To insist on decoration is to put yourself on the same level as an Indian. The Indian in us all must be overcome. The Indian says: This woman is beautiful because she wears golden rings in her nose and her ears. Men of a higher culture say: This woman is beautiful because she does not wear rings in her nose or her ears. To seek beauty in form itself rather than make it dependent on ornament should be the aim of all mankind."
do you agree anon? curious what kinds of things u guys have done.
ive had a lot of random ‘creative professional’ side jobs to carry my weight while doing my own work.
recently got fired from my university’s print/design shop upon graduating bc they decided to get rid of non-student positions. only stayed bc i was going to get a 2x nonstudent raise and am gullible. unknowing last day was secret santa and had to gift my boss.
most degrading though was being an instructor at a few of those paint and sip places. never felt so psychopathic Frutiger metro/vector vomit/2000s maximalist CGI/whatever the hell you call It. I made a tutorial In Inkscape with gradients. that's literally It lol.

What editing software would i use to make an album covr like this with lots of exposure, what effects would i use, i know nothing about gd btw Can you help me become a better meme creator?
How do I make this spread? 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. Could someone explain to me how I can improve the sharpness of the entire photograph? The face and skin How much does it cost to have a logo made for your company? My buddy says his friend hired some people and it cost him 8000 for 2 logos this cant be right, right? How much would you people charge for a nice logo made from scratch? Do you also do website design and if so how much would you charge?

Is it really good or is it popular just because its 70$/life license? Basically, I just started working at this place that has few employees. There are four of us in the kitchen. 2/4 of us are responsible(me, plus and kitchen manager)
The other 2 are lazy and don’t clean up after themselves.. the restaurant has failed many health inspections and is on the brink of getting shutdown… also most new hires quit on the first day because of lack of instruction…. They’re short staffed af.
this is the chillest job I’ve had, and it pays better than most restaurant. The owners are willing to give out raises if you’re decently competent. Tips are great.
Now, I do graphic design… is it so much as a stretch to ask the owner if I could revamp their kitchen with a bunch of fool-proof signs around the kitchen that tell new employees where things go? In exchange for a raise?
Or is that tacky? I don’t know how to network. 
I have the opportunity to attend two different schools for a "multimedia design" degree, both take sort of a different approach
First one: This one gives you a very basic understanding of design with two or three design subjects in the curriculum like "Graphic Design I/II" and the rest of the degree is divided in different modules where they teach you certain software and a project along with it, from Photoshop, Illustrator, Blender, Unreal Engine, post production video/audio, even PHP programming with UX/UI stuff, 3D modeling/animation, VFX etc. I expect all of them to be very basic and that you're supposed to dive deep on your own interest, it's more like a "practical" degree in some way.
The other school has a more traditional degree with courses like photography, art history & design, front end webdev, typography, morphology, digital audio, design semiotics, it also has some 3D subjects but it doesn't cover as much.
Idk, do you guys think it's important to have an strong foundation in design for working with 3D? I think I want to do motion graphics or maybe post-production video but I still don't know, the good thing about the first school is that it kinda shows you all the possibilities.
I don't know if I like Graphic Design to be honest, I like using photoshop and doing edits and stuff like that, but I don't like branding or logo/package design
