fyi a gaanoo/linux now has a font manager, that is basically the same as nexusfont on windows or the macos built-in one, and also provides a font file viewer:
https://github.com/FontManager/font-manager

feel free to discuss any other freetard design software that may have emerged or improved recently.
krita looks like a much more ok replacement for photoshop than gimp at this point, including smart layers and free transforms, but can be a bit buggy.

there seems to be nothing that can properly replace illustrator, adobe xd or affinity designer (inkscape has no concept of paragraphs, scribus is too procedural and hard to use for fast web/ui design iteration, the color picker lacks hsl and hsv) unfortunately, but you can prove me wrong.

I have to design some "posters". One of those will have "facility rules" on it. Which font would you guys use for making it look like commie propaganda?
Basically, tips and tricks to make some decent communist regime like propaganda posters.

With very few exceptions those kinds of posters use ALL CAPS and sans-serif block lettering that is intended to display strength, determination and brutal resolve, and tries way too hard. So much so that even if you can't read the lettering they are so over the top in both bold, blocky typeface and stark, in-your-face layout that you can't help but recognize the cliche for what it is.

Basically nothing is a soft sell or an appeal to humanity or individual feelings and even things like letter spacing make few concessions to making anything easy or pleasant or persuasive...they are NOT asking you to think, they are ordering you to agree and OBEY.

Not all propaganda follows that template, dumbfuck; propaganda can be subtle, it can cajole and flatter and appeal to people's gentler nature as a means of manipulating them.

Totalitarian collectivist propaganda as a rule does not take that approach, especialy once that rule is established. STFU and read a book.

Instead we have css grid layout that literally no one asked for and no one will use due to above reasons and also because most designers dont know css and will do everything in their power to avoid learning it.

The stock is definitely in a downward trajectory. Only held up by sam being good at avoiding mainstream memes - these always die in cringe within long.
He still slips up, like when he allows his team to dub the massively overrused black man exaggerated laugh audio (the "oh no no no" one) into his videos.

Sam just isn't cutting edge any more, and he only focuses on perfecting what he sees as the peak of his aesthetic, and his advice giving internet dad persona. We don't need more of those. The only funny thing he's done in the last 5 years is the video from the boxing fight where he says he's coming for Hasan Piker "in real life"

Looks like it was taken with a film camera. Look for an online tool that has filters that can emulate film effects, PicsArt has a ton of these if you grab a premium APK off some dodgy website. Not sure about PC platforms, there might be Lightroom presets if that's something you waste money on.

Early Windows had brighter colors because the color palette was more limited on some PCs. The more pastel colors came with 98 and Me, when SVGA 24-bit color was the norm.

win 7 classic had nice click sounds, didn't ship with dwm enabled and felt very snappy
it was also simplistic and not overloaded with poorly functioning features, so it was better for workflow than 10/11

Rutracker.org, 1337x.to, all the all-purpose public torrent sites. For the actual Adobe applications there's monkrus.ws, but there's probably no plugins there. Go to reddit r/piracy or some more specifically Adobe plugin focused subreddit and try to find some sites. Basically go googling or use normie sites.

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.

>downsizing would actually help you achieve degradation


>i guess i'm not really understanding what the issue is

No shit, it works in in exactly the opposite way; reducing the size of an image is how line art and other images are cleaned up and an integral part of the process of creating art for print media back in the day.

Easiest way to imitate copy/fax machine degradation digitally is to mess with light values, contrast, exposure, etc , since most photocopying artifacts and distortions are the result of the actual photographic part of the process and strong light was what allowed them to reject all but text and other deliberate markings....every generation was slightly overexposed and the contrast boosted so details like fine lines, dots and sharp corners would gradually melt away.
At the same time, if you adjusted the machine darker to pickup those details any small dark areas, erased pencil lines and even the shadows of paper texture would get reproduced, and subsequent attempts to lighten them back out by re- copying with higher contrast wouldn't get all of them, leaving characteristic splotchiness.
>>
each time the ink prints it’s not a digital process nor is the scanning it’s analog to digital in the scan and digital to analog in the printing
so you would find the physics of the scanning process then simulate it and same for the printing, simulate the analog printing
with those 2 filters it’s an iterative process for each and the number of iterations increases the effect of scanning then printing, taking the output and repeating the process

That’s how you would make an accurate fx or plugin or whatever but you can just jank it using photoshit
>>
Try the app "LOWER" w the yellow icon :P
>>
>>453663
Yes.
>>
>>454315
Just to be clear, xerography is not an inherently digital process and doesn't use ink...it uses an electrically charged drum or belt to selectively attract a dry powder toner to desired print areas, that is then thermally fused to the paper printing substrate.

It's more analogous to how powder coating works than printing and the less than precise nature of how it translates the source image to a static charge as well as the resolution available with the mechanical properties of the toner are part of what gives it its characteristic look and generational loss of detail and artifacting.

The fact that xerography *isn't* digital is part of why it can be difficult to replicate convincingly using digital technology and digitally created files that tend to pixelate and show other obviously digital artifacts when deliberately degraded in a digital process.
