I'm not a designer, but I can't afford one right now. So I made this logo for my podcast on Canva. I like the idea of making it a clean, simple logo like the Nike logo. I used a spark graphic from Canva, which also looks like the S in the word spark. I'm trying to combine the spark with the words Spark The Genius like ...
I downloaded this mockup, but it opens in illustrator and I don't know how to use it. I need to connect this to my image. but nothing happens
I want to draw pixel art that should look like it is a scene from one of the LucasArts adventure games released around 1990-1995 (e.g., The Secret of Monkey Island and Monkey Island 2). Most games were EGA or VGA-compatible, with 320x200 screen resolution, but pixels weren't square; pixel aspect ratio was 1:1.2, and he...
I'm creating a watercolor effect on a photo and I'm struggling to create textured edges around an image I have. What I'm trying to achieve is something similar to the image below. I know I have to create a mask of some sort, but not entirely sure how to create the texture so it looks like a natural watercolor painting....
The tutorial I saw has he guy use the expand feature then use the offset path feature and then he uses a tool to remove the expanded areas and create this effect. I have been trying to figure it our and have no clue how he did it.
I'm using Photoshop CS6 (portable) to work in some image conversions. Sometimes, complex scenarios (for me anyway) like this one appear: So, my goal is to transparent all dark blue parts and leave only white and white to transparent pixels on that image (maybe even some light gray ones too, if only white pixels are "i...
I have this vector drawing of an iceberg that I want to create a simple animation where a blue gradient is animated moving in place the current black outlines. Since the end result would be to use this for Android, I would need it to be a series of frames. Is there a way to get this automatically done or does it have t...
I'm a junior graphic designer, in the middle of my last year as a student. I came here for some feedback and constructive criticism, because honesty I'm lost. To give you a little background, I took on a re-branding project for a local animation studio as a case for my diploma. Unfortunately, my views on the design and...
I have leaned that Fairlight Computer Musical Instrument (CMI) is a kind of commercially available digital sampler in 80s. I don't know much about music and programming related knowledge. I just noticed that the Fairlight CMI's screen can display beautiful waveform graphics based on brush strokes, like this (I found t...
I am trying to understand how channels work. I created a blank 8bit RGB document in Photoshop and filled the background layer with 50% gray. But however, when I navigate to channels and click on R, G or the B channel, I can see that the channels are not 50% gray. They are somewhat a lighter shade of gray. Why is there ...
I have not found a way to save the presentation view at a time X during a presentation as a document of some kind, ideally as a vector graphic (i.e. as PPTX, PDF, SVG or similar). Is this true, or is there any way -- other than the trivial screenshot? An alternative would be to save the presentation view as a high-reso...
Building a notification system in an app. Each type of notification has it's own icon. Within the app a concept of "Recommendations" is being developed. Person A can recommend an item to person B. What icon could be used to represent this notification? The item could be anything, but is most likely a product to buy. Ca...
I have this logo that came along with a theme: On a website, a new branding occurred, and now we have a limited range of colors: --color-primary-blue: rgb (44, 45, 101); --color-primary-midblue: rgb (104, 110, 159); --color-primary-midbluetint: rgba(104, 110, 159, 0.70); --color-secondary-yellow: rgb (...
I'm fairly new to graphic design so there might be some basic vocab misunderstanding around resolution and pixels but I haven't been able to problem solve this: PNG created in Procreate on a 5000 x 5000 pixel canvas set at 300 PPI. After export, that PNG looks great at max zoom. When I place it in InDesign on the same ...
This happens all the time and it's driving me crazy... I press Z to switch to the Zoom Tool. Then I click-drag somewhere to zoom in, but instead Ps has switched back to the Grab Tool, so I end up dragging some piece of artwork out of place instead of zooming as intended. Sometimes even after pressing Z an extra time it...
I am in the process of transitioning from Powerpoint to image processing software to create professional-quality images for academic publications. I was trying to organize several images into a graph/document in GIMP, but I had trouble scaling these images: once their sizes were reduced, some information were permanent...
Is there a way to adjust the column width or row height within either a cell style or a table style? When I open the cell style options window there is no side tab for adjusting row/height. with the the table style options there doesn't seem to be any option either What I am trying to do is basically I have some head...

I made this very simple SVG in Inkscape 1.2.2: https://svgshare.com/s/rbx The pdf export (default export settings) looks like this: All of the horizontal segments are missing (everything else is there). The LaTeX typesetting is done with TeXText (although that shows up fine). I've tried ungrouping, applying transforms...
I'm going to save an edit with multiple layers, curves, and mask layers. However, when I save the file some of layers do not apply properly and the saved file has huge differences from the picture I see in Photoshop. Some people proposed first merging the layers, then trying to save it, but it did not work. When I merg...
How do you make a subscript to a subscript in Illustrator? I don't see an option to do so under the Character option.
I'm trying to automate the creation of nurbs curves using python for an auto rigger I am making. Unfortunately I cant seem to wrap my head around the cmds.curve command making the curve periodic. This script is supposed to take a given curve, get the coordinates of each CV and then using the curve command should create...
Short version : I have to points (nodes), A and B, on one layer. I have a scanned drawing (picture) with the same 2 points (A' and B'). How can I scale and rotate the picture such that A and A' (and B and B') match? (in order to re-draw in inkscape the sketch done on paper, but with correct scale and orientation). Alte...
I am interested by the font and haven't seem any fonts similar. http://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont gave me some weird clues that didn't help. Can someone help identify the font?
I updated WordPress to the latest version and this image (the website https://wordpress.org/news/2023/03/dolphy) and I'd like to know what font is this. It seems Inter but I am not sure.
These images are entirely composed of mesh and were created using Illustrator. I'm curious about how to produce a similarly well-aligned mesh. Could you provide guidance on this process? Thank you.
Is there is repeat action functionality in Figma? Like for instance in Adobe Illustrator we can make repeat commands, for reference I am talking about this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwhWNtuaRYA Similarly is there is any feature similar to this in Figma?
I want to align some text that I put on two separate lines using return. How do I align the text? Justify under Paragraph doesn't seem to do anything. I figured "Area Type Options" might help, but that box isn't clickable. How do I align the text (both left- and right-aligned)?
In Gimp 2.10.32, I have a layer mask going on.... How can I click and drag my left side layer image around, but have the right side mask stay locked in place?
In GIMP there is a feature called Copy Visible. It flattens and copies all visible layers to the clipboard. Right now I'm taking screenshots of Illustrator instead, but have to put extra care to properly crop them. Does Illustrator have a feature like "Copy Visible"? My search queries yielded nothing.
I found this question last asked in 2011: Make fill translucent but keep stroke opaque in Illustrator My question is roughly the same. I'd like to have a solid/opaque stroke line with a translucent fill color. Has anything changed since 2011, or does this still require two separate shapes to achieve?
I have tried using warp:arc lower and warp:rise which was somewhat closer but still cant figure it out how to do that exact style.
When designing apps using the flutterflow program there is a section on the home page of the app project you are building that is able to upload images as a truetype font file , otherwise if I instead select a PNG of the image it then asks me to upload an icon info which is a link under the title Icon Dart File. I'm no...
I found this guide, but some reason, that only works for some colors, but not for others? What can I do? Here is a sample image: And here is what it looks like if I do the inversion: Note how the red-yellow line doesn't change, but the green-yellow line gets a completely new color profile.
Our club zine is ages old; fancy headlines 40 years ago were made with a Sinclair Spectrum. I'd like to emulate this. Scanned example: I searched myself blue in the face on free font sites - either the font is too fancy for me (say, Fenotype Letters - a more "teletype"-ish look is what I want) or the shadow in the wro...
I've found one other person asking about this, but with no answer: https://www.reddit.com/r/AdobeIllustrator/comments/goivws/auto_rotate_disable/ I'm trying to make it so the auto-rotate option under "Orientation" in Print Settings is not checked by default. Setting is shown below: The Reason: I'm working Library Mak...
Im trying to select multiple anchor points to delete on this shape. But when I go to delete the anchor points the shape turns to below? Any speculation on why this would be happening? If I delete each individual anchor point it seems to not have this problem but its just too time consuming to do that.
I found a really lovely font that I want to use. It has several variants: Sadly, the "Bold" options feels much too heavy for me, I'd rather use "Semibold" instead. And while I can choose the variant specifically inside Apple Keynote...: ...I'd rather just click the "Bold" button: So is there a way to remove the "bol...
I am attempting to create an apple script which will automatically select a foreground colour from my current layer in photoshop. I believe that this script is what I am looking for: How do I make a photoshop action pick a color from the image?. However photoshop wont let me select the script, so I am not sure where I ...
See this image: I really don't know how to describe this but I'm getting a weird overlayed color from the magenta waves when I put them over my background. As you can see I have the blue rectangle and then I want to put the magenta wavy lines on top of it but instead I get this weird overlay effect as if the waves wer...
I finally found how to force Illustrator to respect the linked file's dimensions when modifying files outside of Illustrator by setting the Placement Options setting to File Dimensions (cf. screenshot below). However, I need to do this for every linked file, which is a pain. How do I change the default behaviour? I wan...
Creating a circle lists the perimeter curve as a circle under entity info. I would like to convert the exploded curve back to a circle. I tried welding the same object but it is now listed as a curve rather than a circle. Converting to a polygon does not help. I need this to get hint of the center when hovering over a ...
I'm trying is to make is a design from four cupcakes that overlap and are seamless just like a seamless gravel pattern basically. I've added a picture below to show what I want to create. Now you may ask: Why do you want to make something you already got and still have access to? Well, the pattern is made by the Print...
I would like to know how to achieve this sort of wave like effect that you see here in green: Notice how it seems to be just a set of 3 rectangles and they all go towards the same end and they bend and expand really cool in a very uniform way. I would like to manipulate it so that it can fit to this though: I've trie...
totally new to the forum and have a totally noob question. I have a copy of a copy of a copy of a 1969 Corvette Assembly Instruction Manual and am curious as to what it would take to digitize it. From my limited research, it appears Adobe Illustrator is one tool and Photoshop another but I need to understand what I m...
I have a script modified from here: specific resize layer action Which will resize a selected layer to fit within 300px (I tweaked it to check if width or height are bigger, and scale accordingly) Is there a way to make this script apply to all selected layers? (function (){ var targetSize = 300 var startRulerU...
I’m wondering if it’s possible to reverse the order of text elements in Figma. I.e. what if I wanted to have the largest ‘Typography’ text to appear on top and the smallest ‘Typography’ text to appear on bottom? Is there a quick way to do this in Figma / are there any Plugins available that will do this? I tried the Re...
Background information: Hi. I'm in discussion with our marketing regarding a picture. Since I found a typo, they need to redo the image anyways, so I have some additional feedback for them. The picture in question is this: The intended use is Instagram, hence the square shape. IMHO, the contrast is too low. The pictur...
I'm creating a design using Figma (not FigJam) and I want to add a code snippet in C#. However, all the plugins I've seen don't support this language. How can I add a code snippet in C# to my Figma design so it looks professional and not a screenshot?
I guess it's a sub genre of flat design, but is there something more to it ? Are they trolling us by making the head smaller and smaller ?

I'm an inkscape newbie. On my desktop I have Inkscape. I draw a line and then can go to the strokewidth property and change the width. However, I have the same program (same version) installed on my laptop and I do exactly the same and the lines are always fixed at about 2.14mm. I change the strokewidth field up and do...
If there's easier way, let me know.
I'm trying to understand if this is the correct behavior or if my preferences have been somehow corrupted. I've disabled "Snap Vector Tools and Transforms to Pixel Grid" in the Preferences > Tools section: I have snap completely disabled and extras hidden: And yet despite all this ... vector shapes and even raster el...
I'm using Illustrator for painting (no printing) and using a lot of raster effects (mostly blur). I am also using the effects for masking as well. The thing is that the raster effects look fine on normal preview, but on pixel preview (and when saved for web), the effects look very degraded. It seems it only happens whe...
I've been using the CC Library to speed up my work flow but one thing that stumps me is adding logo graphics with the necessary exclusion zones around it. I'd much rather be using the vectors directly rather than having to import PNG files each time I use the logo for a presentation. Whenever I drag the graphic, only t...
I want to add color blindness support on my Unity game, for this, the Color Grading effect appears to be the way to go. This is the neutral lookup table, i.e. when applied, nothing changes, it's passthrough. In Photoshop, using View/Proof Setup menu I can effectively simulate some color blindness like so: But the res...

I have a variable font in type woff and I want open all weights in fontforge (or other software) to convert every weight to the single ttf font.
I'm working in a bilingual book. Using columns is out of question, due to the book format – small. Usually you have the text in the original language, followed by the translation (ie the original ends, the translation starts). Or left page the original, right the translation. I have a block of 6 texts – 12 considering ...
I have a number of maps of the same area from different years and would like to set up a file that allows me to transition between them, but I'd like to be able to control the transition manually in the final final, like having a slider bar with the different years on it. I have Adobe Creative Cloud to work with.
Looking for a way to write text along an angle in Inkscape while keeping the vertical alignment straight. Illustrator has a "shear" transformation available this, but is anyone aware of an equivalent in Inkscape? Attached is an example of the desired result, from Illustrator.
In working primarily with the mobile Photoshop app in ios, I’m occasionally wanting to delete an edit (e.g. eraser tool) that I made 5-10 minutes ago. I’d like do this without first having to delete all the edits made after that step - which is what I’m currently doing, using the “undo” arrow (and then having to rememb...
I want to use Times New Roman (which has proprietary license) as main font of my commercial product (web app). As it is pre-installed on most of the devices, I have no need to supply font files, so does it mean that I can avoid buying a license for this font and stay completely legal?
Can layers be symlinked in gimp? Like if they were the same layer. For example, I have one tree, and I want to create a forest. I want to draw a single tree, dup that layer into 20 layers. Then i will change scale and layers' order. I will also flip and slightly rotate some layers. After that I think all trees should h...
I have an image - game map. It was generated a long time ago and not by me. I wan to reverse-engeneer this map to create my own tileset. E.g.

I would like to extend an image like this to the left and to the top with GIMP. I just do not seem to find quite the fitting gradient. This image is an example as a background. In the original there are further elements in the picture. Is there a step by step walkthrough to accomplish this?
I do make a simple video like WatchData video by using Powerpoint. The problem that I occurs is that the video that I render is lagging even in 60fps. There are two ways I do render Powerpoint; Just Export to Video. I do find that if you Export to Video in 4k, it will automatically convert into 60 fps I do use macros...
All typography sites seem to be in agreement about most typefaces: The lower-case letters b, d, f, h, k, l, and t usually have ascenders. The lower-case letters i and j usually have a dot on top, called tittle if one really needs a name for them. But are tittles ascenders? A few sites boldly assert this. For example,...
I'd like to draw some closed paths with offsets on their internal edges, and I want the internal edges of the offset bands to be feathered. The external edge would be hard, not feathered. Below is an example of the effect I want, from a National Geographic map. Each colored band is transparent, but also feathered. Is t...

Is it possible to import an Excel file into Photoshop such that each item on a list has its own individual layer, with each layer located in the exact same place?

Here is a Kufi-like Arabic script font, and here are most of the main glyphs: Notice how some of them are extremely similar, only differing by height. Also you'll note that some are similar but differ slightly because they appear at the beginning/middle/end. I am not concerned with the latter, but I am not sure what t...

I've made a shape in Illustrator by taking a square and a circle, selecting both and choosing the Unite option in Pathfinder. So I now have this shape: However, I want to extend some of the lines on the square edges so it will look like this, and still be one single shape (path): But if I simply draw the extensions i...
Hi, I am looking for any tips on how this person made this image. It seems like a filter of some kind used with a pixel image of a cat. The trick is each "stitch" is different so it is not just a single overlay applied to each pixel. Any suggestions are helpful.

I am trying to learn more about the pen tool in photoshop. I understand its basic usage for paths/selection/shapes.

Later if I deselect and...
I am working on a project where I am engraving some pixel artwork onto an acrylic sheet using laser cutting. This process requires a vector file for the laser, but whenever I try to vectorize my artwork all the hard pixel edges (which are intentional artistic choices in this case, the image is meant to look pixelated),...
I have a project that has a color. I want to use that color in a different project. How do I copy a color from one project to another? From what I've looked up, it seems like one has to do something that involves creating, managing, and importing custom color palettes between multiple projects. This seems way over th...
I'm trying to import a PDF (actually hundreds of PDFs) into Inkscape Command Line for export into PDF again. This is in an attempt to clean up a PDF with some compatibility issues with another piece of software I'm using.

My goal is to randomly fade in th...
I've been searching for a way to do a halftone like this: As you can see this is not a simple halftone effect, with circles or anything. It uses the Turing Pattern as the filler element, but it also fades away as gradient loses intensity. I've been trying to achieve this result using Photoshop's custom dither pattern ...

I'm a bit at a loss with this. I have an indesign file that is made for print purposes, but for the pdf-ebook we export it via other joboptions/settings with RGB as it's color destination applied.

I’m looking to write a book. It will include graphics to the edge. I am unsure on the Adobe InDesign Settings to use (page size, trim, bleed + slug, margins etc). Most sites seem to state A5 trim size as 21cm x 14.8cm. Measuring other authors books in my bookshelf, this seems to match reality (in the UK) However, Amazo...

I am a first year graphic design who is still relatively new to the field. I have no idea how to even start with a portfolio. Do I create a website? Is it something physical?
