vfrmedia, Margaret Calvert recently turned 88 years old - along with Jock Kinneir she is the graphic designer responsible for the UK's distinctive #GraphicDesign and #dynamic_typography
of road signs introduced in the 1960s, which is one of the few things this country can still be proud of (the signs are easy to read from a distance even at night).The font of the gov.uk website is also the same one from the road signs..

jhilden, So, Danish illustrator and graphic designer Preben Dahlstrøm, a true master of the illustrated field guide in the 1970s: I’m trying to find some biographical information on him – but I have nothing more than that he might have been born in Odense in 1917 and died in the 1990s.
Anyone with access to older Danish newspapers? Maybe there was an obituary?

illusionofmana, to the young graphic designers/artists that do home print media. My word of advice... DONT USE THE BAKED IN PRINT OVER NET FEATURE.
Get a cheap thin client from a thrift or e-cycler, dump windows 7 or linux on it and set up print server.
It will save you a billion years of troubleshooting and wanting to throw your expensive printer out the window.
Wishing you the best. ~An artist who hasnt had a printer issue since 2016!

Box from previous image. It’s a shoebox with a “Shapiro’s Footwear” logo on all sides in script and sans serif.
bragefuglseth, I've spent the night doing some FOSS logo design work at @adhami's request!
afranke, @bragefuglseth
Have you seen the Collabora logo?
@adhami
bragefuglseth, @afranke Thanks for pointing that out! It does look pretty similar, albeit with slightly different symbology. I’ll see if I can do some tweaks to Beyond Expiry’s to distinguish it more.
soundclamp, #GraphicDesign #Ephemera A Japanese 🇯🇵 advertisement from 1983 for a #SonyWalkman WM-20 which was roughly the size of a cassette tape and used only one AA battery.
soundclamp, @Luke Yes! I’ve got some archive recordings and mixes here. Pardon the bad website formatting. The CSS got lost in the shuffle to a new server and I haven’t had time to fix it. https://kletter.us/soundclash/
Luke, @soundclamp Totally playing this all day. S15Ep1 on tap.
ronanmcd, I just got sent a file with CMYK in the filename. It's a PNG.

Natalie, Why do I feel bad asking Adobe for a discount off their exorbitant plan when they have built the poor artist discount into the price anyway and basically count on people forgetting to ask for a discount?
Anyway I grovelled and thanked the Adobe chat person profusely for the half price discount and free months then blamed myself for being a perpetually poor creative who isn't rich, sexy, or famous enough to spend $90 a month on some computer programs.
Everything is working as it should be on capitalist Earth.
Natalie, @marcEndingInC yep 😅 I just can't quit it
airwhale, (edited ) That must be the full suite then, right?
I get by on the "Photographers Plan" that includes Photoshop, Lightroom Classic and a few other throw-ins. Using Affinity Designer for vector work and Publisher as my "InDesign-killer".
Well done on securing a discount though!
ronanmcd, In case it helps anyone who lost their Pantones due to endless Adobe licence wrangles and who doesn't want yet another subscription, Affinity software still packs them in #graphicDesign
ronanmcd, @kevinteljeur it hasn't caught up fully in some areas. But it's surpassed Adobe in many areas. Publisher is new to me and how it handles image boxes is so much better than Adobe. They really need to look at video next, as that has become just another regular job. And they need a pdf handler for prepress checks
kevinteljeur, @ronanmcd Yes! Video/animation. Maybe they’ll buy out something like Tumult Hype. I doubt that they can afford to though.
Nonilex, (edited ) #EJeanCarroll files her Opposition to #Trump’s #motion to #stay execution of the $83.3M judgment against him.
Carroll makes it clear that Trump has failed to provide any legal or factual basis to stay execution.

melvian, Optimizing a logo for different sizes can be immensely satisfying.

Dans la même journée, on a adopté une motion contre la censure à l'endroit de deux livres jeunesse québécois.
Ça roule!"Que l’Assemblée nationale s’inquiète des récents épisodes de censure visant des livres jeunesse québécois" (...)
"Que l’Assemblée nationale réitère son adhésion à la liberté d’opinion, à la liberté d’expression et à la libre circulation des idées."

airwhale, "Voluntary Disability" sounds like a terrible lie, no matter if it is on short or long term. ...and yes, it's pretty awful.
stooovie, Any Apple #motion peeps?
I have an animated effect that does what I need - scale from 0 to 100 at the beginning within roughly 1s and add some effects to the clip.
When I apply it to a clip in FCPX, the animation speed changes relative to the clip lenght, meaning a long clip will have very slow animation. How do I prevent this? I have already looked in the manual and YT but haven't found an answer.
Thanks!
stooovie, Got it! Template markers. https://support.apple.com/cs-cz/guide/motion/motn141baf86/mac
rowan_johnson, @stooovie Glad you found the answer. Yes, the answer is using the build-in and build-out markers.
