I need to get the name of the font used in this image: The guy who did the logo just took an existing image of the "UTOPIA" writing and slanted it to fit the cubes, so he doesn't know which font it is. I'm pretty sure the guy who did the original writing told me the font name somewhere in the past but I can't contact ...
As I understand it, if I create a font and give you a copy, that doesn't give you the right to publish a billboard/flyer/book/etc using my font. There is an additional license required. Many fonts provide that license, but also many don't, including fonts included with popular software. How do you ensure you aren't vio...

I was wondering if anyone knows which font is used in the titles of the TV series "Masters of Sex". I have come across this sans serif font before, almost always in a 60's office setting.

I am trying to achieve, for lack of a better term, a speckled shading in Photoshop. I'm not getting the right effect using noise (even with a gaussian blur) or setting the layer to dissolve.

After following many tutorials about pattern making using pattern maker and brush pattern in Illustrator and then offset in Photoshop, I couldn't make the below image into a usable seamless pattern :( It is the complexity of the "wave" shape that makes it difficult to achieve; most other tutorials and questions here in...

What are some places or areas where one could donate graphic design services for the greater good? I don't really mean local not for profit organization, but more on a regional, national, or global scale. Local non-profits are often a specialized thing for a specialized (not always "needy" group). I know I could hit my...
So let me explain the issue. Say I have layers A-Z I select layers A, B, F, R for example, make a change to those layers, but then I go back to doing other things so I deselect those layers.

I gave a possible client a price estimation for concept of a character, and making it 3D as well. Now I find out that my estimation is double what he is paying his current artists.

What's a relatively simple image that could be used as an icon to symbolize "Relevance", such as Search Relevance? I really can't think of anything that would be instantly recognizable, or even that a user might guess was the thing they were looking for.

I was searching around and I found this question here talking about how a designer knows when thier work is 'good'; and it has a lot of crucial information.

What would you cha...

This seems to be a recurring problem when cutting shapes directly in half when using Illustrator's 'Divide' tool. While the shape may look ok in the program itself when I output it as a png or reduce it to a smaller size in a raster-based program like Photoshop a white line appears right down the middle. Is there a bet...
Lately I would like to get involved / to learn in graphics design. Since holidays are in full swing, I thought I would use this time. I have used GIMP before, although very minimal and Blender.

How I can make color transparent in Photoshop? For example, I have picture of smoke, and I want to make background color (which is black) transparent. How?
Since a freelancer usually (or from what I understand) takes on all aspects of their work, they don't really get hired for permanent positions and thus work off individual projects. A client hires the designer based off a portfolio and if the price/style/etc is a match, the project moves forward. At least this is what ...
