What is the diffrence between EPS and PSD in making a mockup in: 1. Quality 2. Size in loading page 3. Easier to use 4. Similarity between both of them Thanks in advance....
I really like the GuideGuide plugin for Photoshop that really quickly allows you to setup guides. Is there something similar to this in illustrator ?
What do you call the style, trend or design commonly used by bodies mentioned in the title? I always see these designs in sci-fi movies and dashboards used by FBI or CIA. Do you know any toolkit using it? Sample:
My system came with DejaVu Sans and DejaVu Sans Condensed installed by default. PROBLEM: Inkscape only shows DejaVu Sans. Do I have to configure something special in Inkscape? Or is DejaVu Sans Condensed supposed to be obtained by selecting DejaVu Sans and pressing Toggle bold or normal weight? Or am I misundertanding...
I have a picture where I have already removed an inner oval portion with the Quick Selection tool. (Am using Photoshop Elements 6.0). I'd like to insert another picture, which is a background, into that oval. Am a rank amateur & have no idea which way to proceed. I have done various searches and also have looked throug...
http://www.coteetciel.com/collections What font is being used on this website? It's like a beautiful cross between ITC Avant Garde, and Helvetica. I love the way the lowercase L has a tail on it.
The layer being edited always have a black border around it, this is rather annoying especially when I draw something small, anyone knows how to remove it? Thanks.
I'm trying to model a lens distortion to apply to a vector image. I originally tried to use the Warp > Inflate effect, and I was able to get close in some scenarios to what I was looking for, but the problem is the inflate effect's scale is uniform throughout the x/y axis. The effect I'm looking for is for the effect t...
What are some flexible, open-source, free/public-domain templates I can use that are easy to customize with my text, a logo and a color scheme? Plain-old HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript (no Coffescript, Node.js, jQuery, or anything requiring some specific back-end like ASP.NET). It doesn't have to be for mobile either, alt...
I was asked to mimic the following using RMagick (which uses ImagMagick within the Ruby programming languages) applied to photos. Anyone know a) were these likely originally photos, or were they hand drawn? b) if they were photos, how are these effects created? I'm thinking it's something like posterize and some sket...
I have a frame in which different photos must shrink and fit into (frame size is absolute), and then save into different file names (preferably same name as the file that was fit into the frame). There are a total of 1400 images (with more coming in the future), so its hard to do with hand. I tried data sets and variab...
I need to use the font "GM Londinium" in a certificate header. But I can't find the downloadable font. Could anyone suggest some alternate fonts similar to GM Londinium or else suggestions as to where it can be downloaded from. I used Myfonts to check the font name. I am providing the fonts that I need(I can't post mor...
I'm new to Photoshop and I'm looking for a book which helps me to learn design iOS Apps and user interfaces. I don't look for a book that teaches me about good UI, I'm looking for techniques I can use to make a button look good with Photoshop. Any recommendations?
I heard most of the roll-ups are printed in CMYK. I am wondering if it is possible to print with a Pantone on a Roll-up (canvas)?
When I paste Cmd+V a new layer is created instead of pasting into the layer's mask that I created. What I'm trying to do is take a black and white layer and make it the mask of a all white layer. This way I have a white cut-out of the shape in the black and white layer. I'm coming from a background of working with GIMP...
I record a Photoshop action to save file as png format. It works except one thing: file sizes differ when I do manually save and when I play the save action (recorded exactly the same steps in manual save). For example, in manual save the file size is 10KB, in action save it becomes 40KB. I tried several different file...
Trying to do something which seems so simple and failing badly. I have created a simple Type layer. I need to add two strokes to the layer. But I would like the stroke to be on the outside of the layer, but the options for the stroke do not let me select that. The options are greyed out, I have the type layer selected ...
As I've seen several people do as well, I am constantly switching back and forth between illustrator and photoshop. Illustrator, IMO, is much easier to work with when creating graphics (as far as strokes, type, live color, etc.) and photoshop proves to be necessary for editing rasterized images - clearing background, c...
I've been working with Photoshop for a long time, and every once in a while I work on a file, sometimes in a rush, sometimes just being lazy.. what happens is that I end up ruining it. I save, go on with my day, and then I open it later only to realize/remember that a previous version was better, only if I would of sa...
Is there a way I can find out who owns the rights to an image I want to use on my web app? Are there any websites that provide that kind of information?
I'm trying to remove the white background of an image (replacing it with transparency), however, the challenge I'm having is that the image has white parts that I would like to maintain. Below is the image I'm working with. Bare in mind that this image is work I've done and all rights are reserved under copyright law. ...
I'd like to add the below leather pattern effect to the bookmark I have made below that: The bookmark is simply white pixels with some layer effects added. How do I "drain" the texture of colour so that I can define it as a pattern and add it as a pattern overlay? Currently it "blackens" everything when I do so, and ...
Is there a photoshop action for exporting a 1024x1024 canvas as all the required icon resources for a OS X app? Seems like something the design community would have made, but I can't find anything so thought I'd ask. Filename Size of canvas (in pixels) icon_512x512@2x 1024x1024 icon_512x512 ...
I made the first of these white cells, then wished to duplicate down to fill the rest of the screen. Predictably, it didn't fill the space exactly, so I needed to try to resize all of the boxes at once. I selected them all then transformed them at once by stretching the box at the top and the bottom, but now it seems t...
I'm trying to get the best size to quality ratio on images that are being scaled up (bc of size constraints). When saving out a jpg, is there any guidelines as to what generally looks better at a smaller size: 50% quality - height: 300px; 80% quality - height: 200px; 1% quality - height: 10000px; These are not specif...
I have been making vector art recently and am looking into hopefully selling it either on existing websites or maybe creating my own, the website in a way would also be a portfolio and it would give me more experience in making websites and UI elements. If I were to make my own website there would be various Png versio...
I'm trying to create a UI design for my 1024x768 screen. I know there's a grid system out there. I've read about the benefits, etc. I understand, I think from a fundamental level, why I need to use them. But I'm so confused about how to create my own grid for my designs. How, for example, do I decide how many column...
Is there a convenient way of creating a grid, or a collage of images, without having to do it manually? Ideally I want a 64x64 square grid of images that are each 100px * 100px. I've seen them done a few times, I think Groupon used to have one. Are there any plugins that exist for this or any way of doing it without h...
I use temporary keyboard shortcuts for navigating my work area... e.g.: Hold down Space to get hand tool Hold down Space + Cmd / Space + Cmd+Option to get zoom in/out tool All of a sudden these no longer work. Some of them do other things- some do nothing. Anyone know how this would happen?
I'm very new to the whole graphics and web design thing, and upon trying to put together the first few pages for a site im working on, have realized that nothing looks as good as i imagined it would.

I would like to create a professional quality icon. Currently, I have created an icon with IcoFX. The icon looks great -- when it is scaled at the right size. When it gets scaled to the wrong size, the text in the icon becomes fuzzy. Is there anything that I can do about this? Any help would be appreciated. Thank y...
I'm working on an illustration and want to have an effect such that the type looks imprinted into a textured leather background, as if it had been stamped in place. Examples: In the real world, this would be a combination of deformation (embossing), and then you'd color or gild the interior of the type to make it sta...
I have an image that's been image traced. All I want to do is cut out horizontal stripes out of the image. Since I want to cut out a lot of evenly spaced stripes, I thought the easiest way would be to make a pattern with a horizontal line. Then I drew a box with the pattern, placed it over the image, and clicked "minus...
I have 3D image and this is several 3D layers merged in one. But when I try to rotate it layers become transparent What I should do if I want to remove this "transparent effect"?
I'm working in Illustrator CS5 and was wondering Is it possible to have varied stroke widths around the same object? For example a square would have the right side at 1pt and the top side at 3pt the left side at 2pt and the bottom at 4pt. I don't want objects overlapping each other, I mean one object with varied size...
I have been looking into selling some vector art either by making my own site (almost doubles up as a portfolio) or sell it through existing stock vector sites. I am currently looking into requirements and condition they have before they will put the art on their website and most of my art meets all the conditions, exc...
Does anyone know if it is possible to remove a gradient mesh from an object in Illustrator without producing a distorted/inaccurate outline? Adobe documentation as well as most online resources I found only suggest using Object > Path > Offset Path... (with offset set to 0px), however I find that for any object I try t...
I found myself many times in this situation and I finally decided to ask in a forum. Here's the deal. Let's say I have a red square shape and I make a new layer above it in which I apply a cloud filter and then a noise filter. The problem is that my new noise layer is taking the whole page and I want to apply it only o...

I'm not known for my good penmanship, but I would like to be able to make these hand lettered pieces that have become really popular in the past few years.

I was hoping to get some advice from some more experienced UI developers. I have been presented with a unique challenge by my customer, and I feel like I am failing.

We're writing a bunch of .jsx scripts, and in each one I have to mock out some functions so I can use things like Array.map() and String.trim(), but I don't want to have to include that code at the top of every script. Is there a way to "include" / reference other scripts or libraries inside of a .jsx script file?
I would like to know the difference between the crop tool and changing canvas size. If I reduce the size of the canvas, a yellow dashed line stays around the previous size. On the other hand, when I crop an image, the yellow dashed line follows. What is the difference between resizing the canvas and cropping an image?
Can you please help me identify this font?
I have been working in illustrator CS5 making vector art.

I'm trying to revolve a 2D shape so that the final 3D shape has a segmented style. See below: http://img.alexblundell.com/up/c5693a8d4351fd0c498c8919a2a3e43b.png I'm sure there's an automated way to do this, but I haven't yet found how. Anyone know?
I'm quite new to using illustrator. My problem is: I'm missing the anchor point. Usually when you use the direct selection tool and click an object, it should show the anchor points and handles. I don't know why, suddenly today it won't show up.

I am making a webshop (hence commercial) for someone. I would like to make the logo using "URW Chancery L". (According to an unofficial site I found, its license is GPL+FontException.

When saving JPG images with Pixelmator or Photoshop, I select a quality from the scale 1–100 that gives optimum file-size. Later on, I sometimes take these images and crop them a little more (not always possible to find the originals), but when re-saving I can no longer know what quality I saved them with.* Are there a...

There used to be a way to do masking tricks to create rounded polygon corners in Photoshop, but I can't seem to find anything for accomplishing the same trick in Photoshop CS6. Does anyone out there have a solution? Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope.
I was curious to know if anyone has used or seen code to measure colors between two hex values. Any language will do but I did see the JavaScript source to determine what HEX value is in RGB. Example: between #44aaee and #0088ee would result in #2199ee
When I create a new document, this option is available, but how to disable it, when the document is already created? I can select shapes and disable it via the transform panel but not for newly created shapes. When selecting symbol this option is greyed out, Illustrator realigns the paths anyway.

Back before I could afford a Mac I used a PC (when Windows XP ruled the earth). At that time I couldn't afford Photoshop either. So I had a WinXP box with Irfanview installed - and I thought that was pretty cool. Now I have a Mac and PhotoShop but I can't figure out how to do one of the things Irfanview did so easily -...
I've been using Fireworks for a long time, but mostly for basic edits and web exports. I want to do more with it. I'm just trying to create a vector version of the Dribbble logo entirely in Fireworks, but I can't seem to figure out how to curve a line. I tried the Freeform and Reshape Area tools, but they just yank out...
Simple question.

Some Paul Rand examples: From... From... Some Saul Bass examples (s...
I have seen both Art Director and Creative Director as titles, but I'm not sure what the difference is. Is one to do with visuals and the other with content? Are they more or less interchangeable? Do they have different responsibilities? Can you have both in the same shop?
I have a black 70% opacity play button that sites on top of videos. On light backgrounds it is very clear but obviously on darker backgrounds it nearly vanishes.

I'm slicing a very tall psd now (1200 x 5000 px) and when I hit save for web and devices, photoshop says that the image is too big to save. I have ended up cropping the image but I'd really like to know what to do with this error. I'm using photoshop cs5 on windows 7, if it helps.
I read somewhere that it is possible to save an illustrator file as a .eps file and have no layer editing options? So the art is scaleable but not editable? I have tried but can't seem to find anything? Did I misread and this isn't possible and all .eps single layer files are editable i.e. change colour scheme and al...
See the website for the logo. I tried What the font, but it didn't recognize the "s" and "t". This might be custom vector work.
Is there a way to import multiple ASE files from the Swatches palette in Illustrator CS5.5 ? Currently I can only import one ASE file at a time by doing: Swatches->Open Swatch Library->Other Library... This gets tiresome when you have many ASE files to load.
I made a translucent svg. It was a 50% opacity round metal texture. When I put it above any other color it makes it look like real metal. It was made using Illustrator and had 2 of its effects: Pixelate>Mezzotint>GrainyDots and Blur>RadialBlur. Then I made a Clipping Mask. You can see it here. When I normally open it, ...
Basicly, I need to know what is the best way to add depth to an innerbox like for example a monitor, a tv, anything that comes with a frame. In my case it's a window frame that contains a poster. What is the best way to do this, I don't think I need 3d or extrusion. Thanks, Richard

I'm trying to figure out an easy way to select multiple paths in inkscape 0.48, ubuntu.

The rectangle appears but nothing is selected or only 1 path will be selected. (For ...
There's a (very popular) question that discusses tips and resources for learning graphic design already, but it's from the perspective of programmers who want to get in the game. I have a friend of a friend who is interested in design, but her background is in drawing and art, not design. I learn this a day before I s...
Using Gimp, I want to make a small part of an image transparent. However, when I use colour to alpha, it turns the whole image partially transparent by removing the colour from all pixels. Is there a way to stop this?
I'm aware of the "rotate canvas tool" in Photoshop CS 5 (which shares a spot in the tool menu with the "grabber hand tool"). What I'm wondering is if there's a way you can perform that function interactively, like you can with the zoom tool. I mean the kind of thing where you hold some key or key combo down and click a...
I ended up to a website that had nice looking cartoonish tree: I'm looking a way to create something similar looking with Photoshop CS6. What do I need to do to achieve such a curvy texture?
I've recently learned that hiding Photoshop layers will reduce the file size. After searching around the Adobe forums I can't find anything stating this. There are only about half a dozen sites on Google that I found mentioning this trick as well. I have a 300mb file with roughly 6 layers. When the layers are hidden i...

This curved tiles shape was created in adobe illustration: How can I recreate it?
I have been tasked with updating a poster that the client used last year. Should be fairly simple, just edit the file, change the date and shrink it from A2 to A3.

How do I make Illustrator not change the gradient's position and size when I change the path's shape?
I have a geometric pattern – say, a cross: Which I want to repeat with some overlap and tile … easy: The blue square marks the 100×100 px unit tile. However, here comes the catch: I want to rotate the image by about 30° and then tile it. This has proved surprisingly hard; of course rotating the image is easy – but fi...
I have a huge image (1024256000) which I want to slice horizontally into 100 images of 1024256. I'm using Adobe Photoshop CS6.

Before you down vote, bare with me as I'm a developer!

I've been thinking about getting a laptop that is somehow 'optimized' or focused in design. I know it will never compare to a desktop, but I usually find myself having to work while travelling and it's become a bit of a struggle.

I've had my MacBook Pro since 2007 and I'm starting to think about what the next system might look like. I'm not made of money, but if upgrading a component helps to make me a more efficient worker for 5+ years, that's worth something to me. Point being, I don't want to just max out every category; I want to be smart a...
I have worked with CreateSpace before and used AI vector images on the cover and interior PDF of a book, but the images all printed pixelated. After complaining, CreateSpace told me to only use 300 dpi TIFFs since vectors were over 450 dpi. So, I used Photoshop to create 300 dpi images, plopped them in my files, and, l...
