I recently came across this video, where a sketch is generated as a video animation. I have a good idea of how to sketch in Photoshop, for example, if I have the exact the same sketch with layers in Photoshop or Krita. How do I generate the animation like the one in the above video? Which workflow, software, and tools...

I created an animation with the free version of Hitfilm Express and I would like to slow it down a little bit. Although generally this is possible with Hitfilm Express, the quality of the sound is extremely bad (when slowing down the audio the pitch is ridiculously low and when speeding up it is ridiculously high). So ...
I don't use photoshop often but am not clear on image resizing. I am wanting to make a photo collage of images similar to the below.

I'm currently typing up some lecture notes for a university course, and I'm having trouble deciding how exactly I should typeset the title of the document.

I can't find any way to edit a Gradient Swatch in Illustrator's UI. I can do lots of things with a Color Swatch or a Pattern Swatch, but for some reason, I can only change the name of a Gradient Swatch when I double-click on it in the Swatches panel. If you "edit" it with the Gradient panel, that creates a brand new Gr...

When I see a JPG file, I know for sure this file is lossy. When I see a PNG file, I know for sure it is lossless. But WebP is a different thing, it supports both lossless and lossy "modes", so how I can detect whether a downloaded .webp file is lossy or lossless?
The following image was found on Google's I/O webpage. What's this design-style that Google seems to have adopted called? If I were to make an educated guess, I would call this flat-art, but it seems to be slightly different compared to the flat-art designs I have seen so far.
I'd like to 'animate' an image at the bottom of the page of an existing book, so people can flip through and see the image change.

I’m new to animated gifs, and exporting in GIF format is vexing! What I've tried: The best ways to (relative) HQ I’ve found so far are (1) gifgun (2) giphy. I’ve tried the Premiere way but it’s not as good, plus it needs me to raise the FPS to at least 50 and I’ve heard that a high FPS GIF can be too taxing. PS doesn't...

I am wanting to create a 3 dimensional block text effect but also have text on a curved path.

I have also made it without ...
I asked a question earlier regarding how to make traditional mosaic art in a less time-intensive way, and was told pretty unanimously that the only way to go about it would be by working on tiles individually. So I have set off on creating designs tile by tile, and yet still it looks...well, really bad. I've created mu...
I have some brand guidelines. One of the main colours is #004F6B. The guidance advises the use of "10% tints" to expand the palette.

Sometimes I find myself dealing with some complex shapes (consiting of many Path groups) and the easiest way to ✌ crop ✌ a part of that is to use a clip. In such cases, using boolean operations (Union, Difference, etc.) is very tedious and is not an option. One caveat of clip, is it could be released. I am asking if th...

A client has been a real nuisance in making unreasonable demands, and has been really rude on top of that. After completing the project and receiving the payment, he attempted to come back to me again for more follow-up work, but I told him: “thanks, but no thanks”. I don’t need that kind of toxicity in my life. Now,...

I am trying to design a small return address label following the printer's guidelines: However, InDesign isn't letting me create a label this size: I really just want to set a size and start designing.
