I've got a freeze frame image from a video that i've been editing. The image originally looked squished, so i changed the pixel aspect ratio from Square to D1/DV PAL Widescreen 1.46, and it looks fine. However if i open this file in any other program, for example Prieview, it seems to not have made any difference? I'm...

Hi there after finishing the logo for a sports clothing brand I thought it was too similar to something and I went looking and found this USAF logo, what do you think? The Bulldozer logo is meant to look like a bull, and the USAF logo is wings. Are they too similar to use? -----VS-----
I wrote a script to nudge by 1/10 in Illustrator (like in InDesign). It works, but only for the whole object, even if I only select some anchors. Is there a way for it to work as well when only anchors (or paths) are selected? Here is the script: var myDis = app.preferences.getRealPreference ('cursorKeyLength'); var m...
There is a segment of a font that I'm not wanting to be used. I am wanting to simply erase that swirl like I could using Photoshop. Is it possible to erase on one layer in Adobe Illustrator instead of erasing through all layers to expose the art board?
I have a picture on top of a background that is wider than it and the background colors don't match. I tried to use the eye drop but you can still tell it does not blend in. I was wondering if i can make both backgrounds blend in another way?
As a Blender user, I know that shaders are mixed in a way that there’s always a 1.000 value in the mixing, because the mixing works as a transitional number between the first shader and the second shader. Here is what I mean - Diffuse and Glossy shader alone - Diffuse and Glossy shader with a mix value of 0.200 - ...
If I take a bunch of random/misc. images I have gathered from the internet over time (I don't even know their original source) and make a collage and print it, can I use it as marketing material in the form of a flier or post card?

For a long time now, I have been using premade grid systems, like foundation grid for instance, which consists a grid of 12 70px columns, and 30 px gutters. But as my design passion seeks the best possible harmony and proportions, I'd like to build my grid more adequate to the specific project needs. What base unit sho...
I am a programmer (hobbyist), and without that specific purpose or need, I ended knowing things in areas which I call "obscure areas" (since I don't know a better term). I mean, areas in which there aren't that many jobs, but there are almost no people working on them, or many having relevant knowledge at all. (E.g. Co...
I made this image a few years ago and no longer have the computer I made it on. Now I can't for the life of me figure out what I used for "SAM FATHERS". Although it looks hand-drawn, it's definitely a font; the differences between the A's and S's is probably due to upper- and lower-case letters producing the variatio...

a young designer working for us made this speech bubble as part of a larger item ... Consider the join or miter of the "pointy part"..

I set red background for entire document and now I can't set any color for interior of any object.

I have a document that recipients are expected (or are likely) to print on their own. It is not clear whether the majority of users will be US or non-US, so there isn't a clear preference for letter or A4 paper.

I want to use code in an inDesign document, and for that to be easily readable and pretty, I am looking for a way to get a syntax highlighting as in texteditors like notepad++, Sublime Text and Atom.

I have been exporting JPEG in InDesign, my settings are good (I think), but when I export it and open it, the color is darker. What am I doing wrong? I also have the same problem when I export jpeg in photoshop. Left one is the original, right one is the one exported from InDesign. My settings:

(TL;DR: How big should the black boxes be in the grid below?) I have a grid of cells containing a rectangular shaped image (it's actually the same image repeated). The ratio of the image width/height is not the same as the grid cells, so the spacing is wider horizontally than vertically (see image below). The grid fill...

I'm looking to make something along this type of line design, but every time I try, it ends up looking very bad: messy instead of designery, uneven coverage, etc etc. I typically go for very geometric shapes (the two big design projects I'm currently working on are literally based on squares and hexagons), and I'm at a...

Perhaps I haven't understood the concept of the "Scaling Workflow" and hence my confusion ...
