Question: making a transparent .tif file with a 300 dpi and converting from rGB to cMYK?

One of our partner organizations is trying to redo some of their branding and needs our logo in a .tif or .png format in the CMYK color model and with 300 dpi. I have figured out how to convert to .png and/or .tif (though I can't seem to keep the transparent background with the .tif so idk). I have figured out the 300 dpi. I cannot figure out how to convert to CMYK AND a .png/.tif AND the 300 dpi.

I'm using Gimp, pixlr, canva, basically anything free. Can someone walk me through this?

Any suggestions for presentation template designers?

Hey All,

I'm a researcher and present most of my findings with Google Slides (Google version of PowerPoint). At a previous job we had hired a designer to make an amazing template, which not only made the decks look a lot better, but sped up our workflow considerably.

Does anyone know someone who has experience designing Google Slides templates? (really looking for folks with experience so I can see past projects)

Thanks for any suggestions.

Client wants a font file included for free - is this legal?

Cross post from stack overflow.

I'm working with a client who has requested I send them the font file I'm using. The fonts are Athelas Regular, Italic, Bold, and Italic Bold.

The files were included (I think) with Photoshop. I assume that means I can use them in my own work, but not distribute the file itself?

The person I'm working for is sending it in to a very picky newsletter with very specific guidelines, and one of them is that they need the font and photo files separate of the .pdf sent in "in case they need to redo the ad completely"

This is what they sent me: "We just ask that the font be included in the package that’s submitted with the ad in case the printer doesn’t have the same font and needs to recreate the ad for any reason. Fonts also sometimes appear differently on different computer screens. The font files can usually be found in the control panel on a PC; I think they’re in a similar location on a Mac."

The budget for the entire project is less than the font licenses. So: Is it legal / morally ok for me to include the font files to them?

Thanks!

My design got shortlisted for a national competition!

I recently designed a cycling jersey, and it has been shortlisted for a competition.

I went for a blocky, minimalist aesthetic with bold colours. I wanted to create something unique to the cycling community. It has three bands, with a simple pattern on the top band.

The competition entries are here, mine is the 'Fab' one, called 'Cool & Fabulous' based on the ice lolly we have here in the UK. http://ift.tt/2gNhaSc If you had a couple of minutes you could vote for it and help me win the £5000 prize which I would use to fund my final year Product Design project at the Glasgow School of Art.

The print came out really well, you can see photos of the jersey and me wearing it on the link below. You can also see the ice lolly it is based on if you're unaware of it in the states. http://ift.tt/2fbM5re

Hey r/design -- i need help figuring out what my next laptop purchase should be

I'm a UX designer currently using a 2011 Macbook Pro. I mainly use sketch, along with a few other OSX-specific design programs.

I originally planned on getting a new macbook pro to accommodate sketch -- but the price point and other issues (notably lack of USB ports/not wanting to spend money on dongles) have left me wondering if I should get a windows laptop instead.

What's everyone's thoughts? Are the new Macbook Pros worth the price? Or is Sketch performance within a virtual machine on Windows good enough?

Looking to get some different opinions from fellow designers to help guide my decision making.

where can a 16 y/o learn design?

So I'm into design (mainly graphic) for a while now but besides basically copying people and then adding small changes (or just color changes) I can't do anything, Most of the time I just feel like I got 0 imagination.
What are the best ways to learn design for complete starters? do I just look for Illustrator,Photoshop(?) tutorials?

Professional design communities?

Where are the professional design communities? Where do the most talented and successful graphic designers discuss their craft?

I love the content at dribbble.com, but it seems to be largely oriented around show and tell and displaying work. The discussion aspect is lacking.

graphicdesign.stackexchange.com is nice, but it's all about questions and answers and, again, doesn't leave much room for pure discussion. Many posts there are beginners asking questions specific to particular tools.

r/Design is great, but it's not particularly exclusive and seems to be similar to designernews.co in that it's mostly news. Also, it's Reddit.

tl:dr; looking for a higher-end professional design community oriented around discussion. Bonus points if it's not full of snobs.

Should I have a designed resume for UX applications?

I'm currently applying to UX research and design, product design, and web design positions. I graduated a couple of months ago with a computer science degree and a minor in psychology and cognitive science.

My question is: Should I have a cool/designed resume like I see a lot of graphic designers using on Dribbble? Currently, mine is a simple, black-and-white resume with a nice modern font.

Should I use the black and white one for research positions, and a color/designed one for all design positions?

Thanks.
