I found this image long time ago, even if I search with the google images search I could not find the creator to ask him/her how this was created. I do not think it was created manually. It looks like some sort of processing was done via software. If you know of any software or some way to create the similar vector im...
been trying to get a handle on this bleed thing.. and i kinda get it, but for the most part it talks about making sure there are no white-outs at the edges of your printed document after it's been cut out to your size specification.

I've created PDF files with Photoshop, then combined them to create a 16 page PDF. Photoshop's colour profile is set to SWOP (Newsprint), with Total Ink Limit set to 235%.

As an experiment, I made three fill layers in Photoshop: one red (#ff0000), one green (#00ff00) and one blue (#0000ff). I set each layer to 33% opacity. I thought they would blend together to make white (or something close), but they made a murky blue colour. Can someone help me understand why?

I am creating my first book file in InDesign CS6. It's not technically a book (with chapters and a TOC) but rather a collection of files that share the same style sheets. Will there be any issues migrating from CS6 to CC? Are there any other big issues I need to be aware of? Thanks!

What programs besides Photoshop are good for saving and optimizing images for web?
First of all: I actually checked if 3d software is in this site's scope. Apparently it's kind of grey area but it is allowed (especially when it comes to texture).

Is there a way to edit SVG files in Illustrator where you can specify a CSS class for each path?
