>AfterEffects: Displacement maps
really? is it this simple?
i think i know how to used displacement maps but i still cant make out how do these
>>
>>327458
pretty sure the first pic is just an image with a displacement map that fades onto itself
secondone seems like a particle generator with 2 dynamics keyframes that fades onto itself.

this article on how hearthstone cards are animated is kind of relevant but doesn't really explain much

L 2 Motion blur

I'm seeking for an graphic element with similar structure and granulation as rose bud in pic rel - ie round and with clearly distinguished smaller sections, but not flower, nor plant in general.
I'm not looking for anything specific and don't give a single fuck about symbolism, you could propose anything (even as pretensious as my example) that matches specification I mentioned above.

So i have to go intern in a grafic design office and i'm looking to buy a new laptop but i don't know if i should get a Macbook pro or a windows laptop at the same price range.

Last year i did another intern job and some people laughed at me because i used a pc instead of a Macbook like everybody else.

Is it worth it to get a Macbook pro or should i get a windows laptop?

>a lot of software I need to use is Apple only
if its not confidential or secret or anything, could you give examples
just curious because where I'm from no one uses macs
>>
>>327542
I'm not the guy you're responding to but I swear by my mac programs. For my day-to-day design life I use:

Sketch
Principle for Mac
Ember (by realmac software)
Linotype Font Explorer X
Alfred (with powerpack)
Hazel
Little Ipsum
Screenfloat

Different needs for different folks, but I feel like I would plummet in productivity on a windows machine [primarily because Sketch isn't on Windows - we'll see if Studio by Invision is a gamechanger]

Unless you make well over $100,000 per year, I wouldn't question a professional's choice of tools, especially when they've used multiple options already and deemed their method to be the best one.
>>

I use a desktop windows pc, and i love it and have no problems what so ever.

but i think if youre going to do some decent graphics design, while sipping on a grande pumkin spice latte at starbuck, Mac i probably the best choice.

Sup /gd/. What do y'all think of this logo I designed for ny band? I have no design experience, just made it on gimp
>>
>>327572
the shape in the middle doesn't make sense to me it looks like weapons or machetes or a fish or something, that type of font is usually for programming and doesn't read very well, the text looks a little bit edgy and what genre is it? why so many underlines below the letters? usually on logos there's only one or two. maybe start over but print it with 20% opacity and draw over it to make it more interesting and then just trace over it even if it takes loads of time it would look much nicer. also search for inspiration and/or references on pinterest.

The shape is based off our first album cover which is based off a photo of the original members standing in a line putting their arms in different directions.
The font is native alien which has the underlines.
We are genre-bending, soul, funk, hip-hop, rock, psychedlic.
Thanks for the suggestions!

Hi Guys,

I am hoping to make my first run of shirts but really hoping to nail the design the first go - I am hoping to have this piece on the back of a shirt but just hoping to get a rough idea on what people think (:

Also thinking about adding some form of emblem to the front of the shirt but again not too sure just yet.

Any feedback or criticism I'd gladly appreciate!

Thank you

depending of the printing method some of the smaller details could be loss, i've heard that white shirts are very hard to sell and for the artwork i kinda like it but i would have made the skull character bigger and probably make the geometric patterns fit the theme of either ancient greece or religion, not sure what the character is referencing.
here's a video of printing methods:
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b88npNmqPVM
>>
>>327509
Disagree, it's plenty modern. Just maybe change the "SOMEDAY YOU WILL DIE" to something a bit less edgy like "I FELL IN LOVE WITH A HOE":
>>
>>327508
agreed, the lines might not print well
>>327531
I like this idea
>>
>>327510
>i've heard that white shirts are very hard to sell
Pretty much true. I didn't watch the video, but just to add to what I said here
>>327508
and also keep in mind that if you are printing white ink on black shirts, white ink is generally thick as hell and won't show properly without a low mesh screen. Typically a base white is done with ~110 mesh and colors can use up to 300. This is more of a problem if you are printing yourself and going to try to learn with white ink, but still a good general rule to remember how much white sucks to print on black/dark textiles compared to printing on white or lighter colors.

How to font? and How to get that effect?
>>
>>327108
how to font?
if you don't have an idea on at least two ways to do that affect you shouldn't be here, go ask on /wsr/ for basic shit
>>
It's just light blue text with an inner and outer blue glow, and the tracking set so the letters are spaced widely. They then used layer/opacity masks so it could look like hands are overlapping the letters.
>>
fix that aliasing, fucking hell bro. my eyes are screaming

How was this vector graphic created? Cinema4D?

1. Program it yourself in Processing
2. Get an old version of Illustrator and try out Scriptographer
3. Fuck around with Pixeology Halftone plugin

I don't think that was made with Phantasm but give it a try nonetheless

So I found this tablet XP-Pen Star06 and it meets my requirements but do you think this tablet is overall bad or overpriced ? Is there a better tablet for this price ?
>>
>>327493
some of those tend to have minor driver bugs depending of your os, the wacom intuos draw or wacom bamboo goes for about $70-$80 and tend to be recommended everywhere especially for beginners, if you want something less basic pick the wacom intuos pro small or medium
>>
>>327493
you dont need a fucking tablet oh my god
