Did Apple create an entirely new typeface for the Apple Watch? Did they customize something existing? To me it looks like it was inspired by DIN and given a very tall x-height, but I see influence from Roboto in there as well.
I was attempting to create 2d low poly art in Illustrator, but I ended up liking the wireframe version more.

I'm trying to cut a group of layers into two pieces, but I don't want a clear cut but the pieces should overlap and have a gradient-like border. Can I do this with a opacity-mask?

How can I convert an RGB color into a real life color? If I mix equal amounts of red, green and blue paint together in real life, I will never achieve a white color, in the way you do when setting the maximum values for them in RGB (#FFF), and I'd be hard pressed to get an exact shade of grey. Looking at an RGB code, ...

I brought the second side together with the fi...

I don't want to use kn...

I have black lineart for a drawing multiplied over the drawing itself.

I'm trying to set up Photoshop cc 2014 for pixel art graphics, but I have this weird issue where my pixels don't align to the grid.

I was reading about William-Adolphe Bouguereau(1825-1905), a French salon style adademic painter somewhat reviled by the (impressionist) avant-garde in his lifetime, because of a style deemed superficial and influenced by commercial interest.

Background: I am using Illustrator to combine several raster images. I apply scaling and clipping masks to them. Next, I try - if possible - to avoid non-integer resampling steps during subsequent printing. I.e. if an image originally was e.g. 150 ppi and the publisher asks for 150 dpi, I aim for 150 (original dimensio...
