Did a professional design this hat?

What the fuck is it about people crying over this hat?

Did you see Obama/s Hats? It's literally blue and then his logo?

This had excelled in what it needed to do. This is the single greatest piece of political memorabilia ever created.

>Basic serif font
>Basic rich background fire engine red

Trump created a political brand and everybody bought it and ate it up. Suck his dick if you don't like it.

I'd say no and it may have worked because of this. Shit, Trump probably thought of it.

The rednecks lapped it up, imagine if it was fancy, he wouldn't of got half the attention it created

>>327845
I like it. I'm just asking if he did it himself, paid a pro, or some intern just happened upon the design.

I'm learning to do Adobe Illustrator, and I need to cut off the corners that are sticking out. I've tried to use path manager by drawing another shape on top of the edge, but because the edge counts as the border and not the actual shape, I couldn't delete anything without deleting the shape itself too.
What do I do?
(am newfag sorry if I mess something up)

So the dark grey is all one shape, and the light greys are sitting on top of it?

If that's the case, delete the dark grey, select all your shapes that you want to outline, then go to object > path > outline stroke, and put in a number that gives it an outline without creating the spikes.
>>
Never mind, there were some changes in the requirements. I don't need to make them in different shades now.
How do I close this thread?
>>
>>327419
You haven’t learned anything but to hope your requirements change.
>>
Make one square shape with stroke no fill, one trapezoid with fill no outline
Then one trapezoid with fill#2 and same stroke as first square. Move stroke no fill square to top of layer, trap no stroke to bottom

hello /gd/ I am doing a sort of social experiment, in which I ask /gd/ some design questions. My previous one was the favorite typeface thread. I want to get a grasp of what your favorite designs/artists/typeface etc is, to see how different our views are. I ask you all this question for this thread. FAVORITE GRAPHIC ARTIST?

>FAVORITE GRAPHIC ARTIST?
I tend to avoid having any favorite things ever since i've read this quote from john cage;

>"A quiet mind is a mind that is free of its likes and dislikes. You can become narrow-minded, literally, by only liking certain things, and disliking others. But you can become openminded, literally, by giving up your likes and dislikes and becoming interested in things."

If i had to say which designer has influenced me the most i would say probably maybe Ash Thorp mostly because of his podcast and live keynotes.

good pick

I'm gonna be real, aside from the obvious mainstream ones (Draplin, Carson, Vignelli, etc.) I don't think I actually truly "know" the work of many designers. I look at random blogs for inspiration and occasionally check out a more well-established person's portfolio if I come across it, but that's kind of it.

IMO kind of along the same train of thought that >>327255 is on, I just don't think graphic design lends itself to the "cult of personality" as well as other industries. It's results-oriented, you use whatever style and methods are appropriate for the situation.

Hey guys, is there a place where you can download graphicriver (or similar) photoshop actions?

I have tried on piratebay but there's not a lot of material, and the vast majority of the actions are broken.

Are there some jap typography designer? I wonder, how does japanese fonts are made. Do u rly have to draw 5000 kanji symbols, or there is some special technology?
I can't imagine how can it work, if font doesn't include kanji that u need to type, especially if we talk about websites
>>
Instant bump
>>
>>327829
Not a speaker, but I know that kanji are mostly combinations of different 'parts'. And while there thousands of combinations, the number of 'parts' is way smaller—AFAIK several hundreds or so.
Of course this is harder and more time consuming than designing an English typeset, but it's not all thousands of kanji made from scratch.

OP here. I appreciate the lectures on figuring it out myself, which is convenient as I am actually in the process of doing that. I was just hoping to see how someone else does it. So for the sake of it, I'll post my progress of my two illustrations. I'd like to hear how I can do better.
>>
>>327811
That's actually really good, from the nature of your question I was expecting some amateur highschool-type shit.

Only thing that really sticks out me is that I can see some visible banding - try adding a *tiny* amount of noise on the gradient layer, should make it look a little smoother.
>>
>>327812
Yeah I agree the banding bothers me a little bit. I'll see what I can do after playing around a bit more.
>>
It is creative one
>>
>>327811
add noise and try not to use round shaped gradient. there's still a bit of light that's supposed to be at the horizon for skies.
also based on your reference pic, try adding a warm color for the highlight. so the result would have a convincing magic hour sky

So i created this font for my typography class and now i need to use it to create an album cover for any song that fits with the typeface. Any song suggestions, i was thinking something like 70's or retro. Also open for some critiques.

Hello. I am currently working on a Graphic Design project for a "faux" company called JJAS. I asked the teacher for a critique and this is what he ended up leaving me with. I currently am feeling pretty lost and was wishing that one of you fantastic graphic designers would give me some tips. Thank you

Sorry, I was hoping someone could give me any ideas to improve my design instead of ridiculing me for thinking a graphic design forum might have some relevance when it comes to assisting someone with Graphic Design.
>>
You need to explain the brief better. What actual critique did the teacher give you? You never said. What did you initially do that the teacher changed? What do you need help with?

Overall, the logo is fairly boring and amateur in appearance.

Remove the lines above and below 'building ltd.' it makes it less legible. Your logo ideally needs to be easy to discern from a distance and at a small size.

Try think about brand colours and in what way the branding will be applied or what it might look like in different contexts.
>>
>>327605
It's okay. You're obviously new to both 4chan and design. The sooner you accept your inadequacy the sooner you can work on yourself rather than have others do that for you.

Technical critique attached - conceptual critique would take waaaaay too long

>>327760

The typography is difficult to read, jarring and cramped, it doesn't convey any meaning to the theme of the company.

It doubles to read as DDAS as well.

Too busy for what it is, no reward or gain from so many thin lines.

It feels very modern, which is ok as long as that suits the facsimile company you made it for, most builders are more mechanical or traditional and less technological and logos should generally suit the personality of the company.
