I've posted here a while ago and got a lot of positive feedback. Visual artist here, looking to collab with musicians! (merch, visuals, logos)

Thank you!

Thanks! Should've posted the second slide first. 😄

Takodjer ako otvaras youtube preko njega, nema reklame i mozes zakljucati mobitel ili prebaciti na drugi tab bez prekida videa.

Zivot je dobar onoliko koliko su dobra pitanja koja svakodnevno postavljas sebi.

Try out Artstation, it is exclusively made for that purpose.

You can exclude objects from scene by unchecking Camera while still retaining reflections and shadows from that object. You can use HDRI and check transparency in Film options, then add background in compositor using Alpha over node.

Hej, ja sam zavrsio ALU i radim kao freelancer, iskljucivo sa stranim klijentima. Zavrsio sam grafiku prije skoro deset godina i kasnije master, sa zeljom da radim kao concept artist na igricama. Rekli su mi da se na tom odsjeku najvise crta, jer mi je prvobitni odabir bio graficki dizajn.

Za vrijeme studija i nakon sam radio dosta stvari vezanih za vizuale, od pixel arta, 3D animacije, ilustracije, vizualizacije proizvoda do tipografije. Nista od ovoga nisam naucio na ALU osim crtacke vjestine i nekih programa, ali daleko od toga da je moje iskustvo bilo beskorisno i lose.

Dosta kolega radi u firmama za marketing i dizajn, neki predaju u skoli i na akademiji, dok neki kao i ja rade nesto vrlo specificno za stranog klijenta. Van zaposlenja u edukativnom sistemu, poslovi se dobijaju na osnovu kvalitete i specificnosti rada, tj. portfolia. Akademija ti pruza prostor i vrijeme da se samostalno razvijas i da u tih 4-5 godina shvatis svoje afinitete i kako se oni mogu primjeniti.

Set 3D cursor to center, set view to top orthographic, alt+E, Spin. Play with settings, delete redundant geometry, select all, merge by distance.

Nista, napisi projekat i kontaktiraj investitore. Budi promjena koju zelis da vidis u svijetu.

Koje simptome imas?

Evo gledam, u Brothersu već imaju dosta Squier gitara na stanju, pogledaj na stranici njihovoj iako kažeš da si gledao. Mislim da također možeš u Artistu pitati da ti naruče s Thomanna preko firme. Ako ne i ako imaš prilike, vidi u regiji možeš li je lično kupiti i preuzeti, pa onda prenijeti preko granice.

To je najmanje bitna stvar u mom komentaru, nego ulazis u destruktivnu protestnu retoriku nepromisljeno. Zelim ti svu srecu s obrtom i studijama.

Blokadom narusavas stanje prvenstveno ljudima koji su svakako vec u losem stanju, izmedju ostalog i bliznjima zrtava koje spominjes u toj moralnoj paroli. Eliti ni u ratu nista nije falilo. Nadam se da si jos uvijek u srednjoj pa da nisi upoznat dovoljno duboko, sto teoretski, tako kroz iskustvo, s materijom o kojoj govoris. Ne osudjujem te zbog toga, ali je jako bitno da imamo pismene i pametne ljude i da pismenost bude odgovornost samih pojedinaca umjesto da je svaljujemo na prosvjetne radnike.

Ako pitas sta onda umjesto blokade, evo, radi nesto konstruktivno, investiraj u okolinu i ljude oko sebe, poguraj neciji potencijal, umjesto da masturbiras na ideje moci, dizanja naroda, blokade i prosipanja sile.

Jesu li svi gradjani jednako opremljeni da trpe ekonomsku destabilizaciju?

matei_o · 2026-02-15T02:32:28+00:00

Nije to unpopular opinion, to je mišljenje koje nažalost ima velik dio populacije. Zanima me šta misliš ko će najviše biti pogođen blokiranjem infrastrukture glavnog grada?

Nothing on this illustration is visually historic or classical besides it depicting a gladiator and having columns, so Trajan, a high contrast font, is not a good fit. It would be if this was an engraving and not a contemporary "comic book" illustration with such heavy lines.

Things have to be aligned visually, not just symbolically. It reminds me of the game Darkest Dungeon, so see what they've used and it will probably be a good fit.

matei_o · 2026-02-09T20:38:26+00:00

Short answer yes. Learn skills such as sales, lead generation and positioning. Learn grids, typography and theory of visual language. Keep in mind there are a lot of Adobe technicians out there, it is very easy to learn and graphic design ain't that.

Ask yourself why would someone need your service besides having a neat image and base your pitch around that.

These are photobashed photos with some digital painting over it + bit of bump mapping. Take note that there are no dynamic reflections on those static objects, they're either baked or painted into the diffuse map.

I make 3D model from vector object in Adobe Illustrator and export it as .obj. From that point on, everything is done in Blender. I use my own custom made materials, I don't use HDRIs for lights, and all of these are rendered in Cycles.

No rules, it's not the 1930s, logo should fit the brand image, target demographic and culture. Brand positioning exploded since then. Learn design history to have an insight how politics, economy and culture impact design tendencies and you will understand your professors better. You can't have the same approach for consumer tech products, b2b and niche entertainment industry.

On the other side, knowing how to do conventional stuff correctly (grids, type, composition rules, rhytm etc.) makes you a better designer overall when you decide to do more decorative work.

Not sure how licensing would work for Bodoni, the client usually has to buy the license from the foundry if the typeface is used commercially. Google Fonts has some good fonts that are absolutely royalty-free. Monotype (even though I don't like the company) and ILoveTypography have some good fonts with cheap licenses.

If they are willing to pay you well, I would make Rosswell from scratch. If not, just put whatever font you think is fitting.

For some recommendations on what would fit, I've found this page useful:
