Many might say gd as a field has been dead for quite some time. I agree with the opinion that it's just expanded into other disciplines.

Is this board dead because designers are busy? or could it be due to the new generation of designers mostly being interested in asking to achieve certain "styles", "aesthetics", and "effects"?

There's plenty for designers to still talk about. What design ideas do you wish you could talk about with others?

This board was always dead. Right now it's competing with /po/ and /vip/ for the deadest slowest board. Probably because graphic design seems like a hipster normie woman career.

/gd/ is a dead board because the retarded hipsters on this board chased away anyone who had even a fleeting interest in the subject because the "experts" hate themselves and need to make everyone else just as miserable.

Every new trend is garbage.
Every famous graphic designer is a fraud.
Every redesign is shit.
Every wip is trash that can't be fixed or iterated on.
Unless you make a million sketches, don't even bother starting your computer or your life is forfeit.

That's why this board is fucking awful. It has nothing to do with the profession as a whole, which by the way is bigger than ever. In my experience companies want redesigns left and right. My firm and all the other firms around us have never had this much work to do. GD is actually in a great place currently because companies start to identify the backlash AI generated content is getting.

not many people like graphic design. i fucking love it. Also not many designers are that open to share how they do things either purely due to "art". Also everyone has a fucking opinion. I think people should feel like shit unlike >>464503
Funny how I think AI is fucking great.

I just think non designers see graphic design as logo making.

Didn't AI kill graphics design in general? Now everyone is a graphics designer without having to learn how to use raster, vector or 3d motion graphics programs, and the audience couldn't tell the difference.
