I'm looking for fonts suggestions for a tech blog. Should the font be serif or sans-serif? Thanks for any help.
I'm trying to use the type on a path tool, and I've never had this problem before. I'm using the rainbow option as usual, but it is typing within the path not on top of it, and sideways. The other settings are working the same, but those are not what I'm looking for. Is there a weird setting that I changed by accident?...
I have a grouping of vectors I am trying to export as an SVG. The problem is Illustrator keeps resizing the export. What starts as a width of ~18.5 inches in illustrator, is now ~13.6 inches when I open the SVG in any other program. Why would it be doing this? and How can I preserve the original vector size? This occur...
I have a publication with many light gray boxes (K-100%, tint 10%). I'm trying to design a Code style that will work both in the white-background normal text and in those shaded boxes. We liked the idea of shading them and thought a 5% gray background looked good on screen. However, I'm a little worried the grays are t...

this one here and this one as well The shading on the building, especially the squiggly liny texture got me confused. I don't see it that often. Does it have a name? How could one recreate it? Credit: godmonkey illustrator on behance
I have read that there are a number of issues with the MS designed and default font Calibri. For instance, what is a Calibri replacement that will not change size when opened in say Pages, Docs, or Adobe. Or simply what is a solid sans-serif font that is more universal across apps. Does this make sense?
Suppose I have a certain shade of violet, like #6727AE. How do I quickly find a different hue (say, greenish) but with the same perceived luminosity (or "weight")? The goal is to have 2 equiluminant colors. The way I measure perceived luminosity (in Affinity Designer) is with an adjustment layer with a neutral gray sol...
It's nice to be able to use background colors to highlight sections of text (my case is monospace, in a terminal emulator), but a sharp transition between background colors doesn't always look great. Full height half rounded shapes, flush right (for the left hand side) and flush left (for the right side) could be used ...
I'm trying to outline a stroke I created as a separate effect on some text in Illustrator but it isn't working.

I'm reading Robert Bringhurst's excellent book The Elements of Typographic Style.

If you open up your favorite drawing package and start a new image, you'll likely be asked to input the dimensions of the frame (width and height).

Want to draw fake shapes from multiple stroke lines like the image below. As far as I know, it can be done by manually dragging the lines, but it's a hard job on complex shapes, and it's slow and not accurate.

I am using MS PowerPoint 2019 with the default settings and with these, my slide looks like this: It by default uses Calibri Light 44 for the slide caption, and Calibri for the rest of the text (except math formulas).

Most fonts produce a pretty poor looking lambda, i.e., λ. I want one that has a more "serif" feel as shown in the image below.

I was drawing in Adobe Animate. I clicked "select all" so I could move the entire image over a little. I did that, and when I deselected, it randomly colored parts of the drawing black. Why?
