What is the non-retina/retina resolution of iPhone5 in pixels. (Double or half of 640px x 1136px screen size)? Is the retina 640px x 1136px or is that the non-retina?
Does the functionality exist to have a persistent set of character and paragraph styles that's available on an application level as opposed to document level?

How can I create a photo wall effect similar to this with Photoshop CS6? I tried with Warp, but it looks so bad and it's nowhere near comparsion. I also tried with Edit->Transform->Perspective, but then it looked more like this and not what I wanted. I'm also trying it on a smaller image (800x415) and I have lots of...
I tried searching for some answers before posting this but since my situation is so unique my questions were never completely cleared up. So about a year ago I was approached by a member of a fraternity to design an original t shirt graphic that would include their letters, colors, and symbols (such as a specific bird...
Years ago, before computers took over, I worked with a photo cropping tool; I hope someone can tell me its name. The gizmo I used was for sizing photos so they could be used in offset printing. They were never sliced physically. I marked them with a grease pen. It was made of a soft metal, and it was in an open accordi...
I'm trying to redo this logo in Illustrator. There is no larger image size than what I've found and I can't use live trace on it. So I'm redo-ing it with the pen tool and was just wondering what's the font used in this logo:

I'll make a point to be as detailed as I can with this. My company does sublimation printing for retail items. To make sure items are correctly identified on the production table, each item has to have a barcode added to it, along with its file name - which has to be mirrored since our printing software mirrors images ...
I have an image that is a 3x5 photo. We need to resize it to 12x15 and still need it to retain most, if not all, of it's image quality. I do not have access to Photoshop, so I use Paint.NET. From what I've personally experienced, when re-sizing an image, I always lose quality. In this case, it's a very specific imag...
I'm currently working on versions of a logo that has some gradients. CMYK looks fine but I'm getting poor results with PMS.

I'm trying to remove blue skies with clouds quickly from many images. I've used gimp's Color Selection Tool, which selects the sky but not the clouds. Since all clouds are in the sky, if I could expand the selection to encompass everything within the area, I'd be done. Does gimp have a tool for this? Additionally, it w...
I need your expert advice. My goal is to use pattern overlay correctly on a seat image. I googled for several options and I tried a couple tutorials.

With F9F9F9 background: Original: I thought my blog looked a little bit boring with a plain old white background, so I tried it with #F9F9F9 and #FCFCFC. I'm not really sure whether I like it.

There are some sans-serif fonts where serifs are used sporadically: My questions are: Are these considered real serifs, i.e. will typeface designers call them serifs or are there other names? Is there a name for the phenomenon, meaning using "serifs" in sans-serif" fonts? Can I filter to find these "mix" fonts by us...

I'm currently working on naming a product, and I have a list of names. Some are okay, some aren't, but I know at some point I have to close the list, pick a couple that sound good, and present them to the team members as the available choices for the next round. I've experienced this sort of thing with logo designs as...

In a recent project in Illustrator I was creating freeform paths to place text on them.

I have a circle-like path in Sketch. How can I now see if it's really a circle (i.e it was created with the Oval tool) or if it's just a path with the shape of a circle.

It's extremely common on websites to see solid colors spanning some portion of the top and bottom of the website, much like can be seen on some of the stack sites.

Benchmarkemail uses a nice font for the logo. I've already tried with several image to font services but no one is accurate. The url is: http://www.benchmarkemail.com/
A little intro: Graphic Design isn't really my thing and the last time I did design was back in 2007... until today that we need to brand our new wedding videography studio. Because of budget constraints, I had to try my hand again to pencil in a logo (will go through the trouble of relearning Illustrator later on). A...

I've noticed that I often use the words "artist" and "designer" in the same context. It seems to me that every designer can be an artist, but not every artist is a designer.
