Our brand has had its logo for several years and we like it. The only issue is now we need to place it on a white background, which obviously limits our options. What can be done (other than embossing it or using drop shadow) to set it out from the background? We've attempted to invert the white before, but it looks te...

As you can see in the picture, there's a thin black line between the red and turquoise objects, which are overlapping. Possibly due to antialiasing. I've tried modifying AA settings, with no results. Separating the shapes doesn't work either. Would someone know how to fix this ? Thank you !
In Scott Robertson's How to Draw, he briefly explains to the reader what happens when a person (acting as the station point in this situation) tilts their head up and down, while viewing the same object. "When the head is tilted, the Line of Sight, Cone of Vision and Picture Plane move in tandem . In a linear perspecti...

Is it possible in Microsoft Word to search for text based upon its color? So I can find all text set to a white fill in a Word file? Or . . . Is it possible in Adobe InDesign to search for text based upon its color, without a paragraph or character style being applied to the text? If a style were applied I know I could...

I'm trying to make tet bend in inkscape. Is there any efficient way to do this? I'm going for something like this (disregard the strings, it's from a hoodie): I've tried adding the text to path and then moving the nodes manually. but there's got to be something better.
Some publisher styles (APA, Chicago, SVMono Springer, …) require that tables contain no vertical lines (“unless [the lines] indicate the structure of the data” for Chicago). Why such a generic and simultaneously one-sided requirement? Sometimes you don't have enough horizontal space to separate table columns. Moreover...
I would like to fix the width of an Inkscape document. That is, no matter what I draw on it, I want the width to be some fixed x, such that the text is always the correct size relative to the document size. I see a way in the ^D settings to resize the page to context, but that is not what I want. I understand I could d...

I have a Wacom Intuos (non-Pro). The pen has no eraser on the rear end. I’d like to set it up so I can press or hold one of the thumb buttons on the pen or a key on the keyboard to toggle between the paintbrush and eraser. I have only found key modifiers that let you switch directly to one tool or another, but then I h...
In the previous company I worked for, they'd always add their logo in all of a PowerPoint's pages. Cover, content page, chapter pages, everywhere. In my current one, they're fine as long as their and their clients' logos are on the first page. Is there a best pracice for this? For instance: Do you place your logos in ...
So I have made myself some striped bars for a histogram by creating the desired stripes and applying the bars as a mask to it like described here, which looks like this: Now I would like to add an outline to those bars. But if I add an outline to the original bars, the masked area just gets wider. So I would like to f...
I have been searching for how can I create a similar effect to this. I found that it is known as the glitch effect and could only be achieved by using a scanner, and since I don't have a scanner, I wanted to ask if is there any way to create the same effect using Adobe Photoshop? I have tried using the Pinch, Liquify a...
I am new to logo design and I was wondering how I could create a stack based logo like Apple does for their frameworks. The logos look like this: Is this even possible using Affinity Designer or is this some kind of 3D render?
I just can't find a solution to the following problem. My color picker shows all colors as bluish. The resulting color is still the right one. Does anyone here have an idea? Note: My picker is already searching for 1 pixel. Kind regards
I have what is probably a very unique question for you guys. I have a direct to garment printer that allows me to print directly onto a shirt (or a film). Now the problem that I have is that the color that I see in Photoshop/Illustrator is not the color that prints out. A red red will look more orange, etc... I do not ...
The font for the headlines and the “bread-and-butter type”… it would be awesome, if there's somebody, some design historian expert who knows it. Here's a (bad) PDF to look at: Page 10 for example.

When I make a clipping path on an image in photoshop and save the workpath and thereafter duplicate the image from one psd to another psd file, then only that specific image layer is duplicated to the other psd file, the workpath is not duplicated. Now if I copy the workpath from source psd and paste it to the destinat...
I usually expect a teaser to have some kind of multimedia content like an image or a video or an audio preview. Pretty much like a media-object . But is a teaser still a teaser, if there's no multimedia content but only text & links? Is that a teaser without image? Or would generically rather be a card? (a block with a...
The brand I'm creating will be used on a youtube channel and on a dedicated website. Lets say that the brand has a 3 colors palette, green purple orange. The main color is green, it is used for the logotype and thus it makes sense to use the color purple as its background. Purple will then be used on all backgrounds. B...
How to get rid or manage these artificial "corner fill"?
I've noticed that in Photoshop 23.4.1 after I lay down a guide it turns deep blue and becomes sort of the "active" selection. This probably has a purpose, but for me it's just an annoyance. I usually delete a layer from the Layers window by clicking to select it and pressing Delete. Now, instead of the layer, the acti...
I have objects that have a number property (it's actually a percentage). I analyze these objects based on wether this property exceeds a threshold or not. I want to show these objects and color them such that the user can Quickly see which objects are above or below the threshold (by coloring them with colors that are...
I have a figure constructed of text, lines, and boxes. I want to change the horizontal scaling, and I want the text to translate/move in proportion to the change in horizontal scale, but I don't want the letters to be stretched/compressed. This is an example of what I do and don't want to have happen:
To change the stroke width of an object, you may use, e.g., the Stroke style tab of the Fill and Stroke dialog, or the context menu of the Stroke width in the selected style indicator: But the change of the stroke width is not continuous.

I am working on a needlework embroidery generator and I want it to be able to generate simulations of the final embroidery.

I have several RGB images in a game that are used as "references" to create other images. Below there are three examples of references: "R-male.png", "Fish.png", "Arrows.png".

My energy provider goes around bragging about how green they are. However, their invoices are using some combination of colors that prevents me to quickly print it with minimal ink. Until now, I used to open the PDF in photoshop, grayscale and print, but that blue headers (see the sample) turns pretty dark even in gray...
I don't understand something. If I transfer a vector shape/design into some pixel based software like Photoshop or After Effects it gets pixelated. Why? The basic structure of any vector shape is not 'raster'. It should stay as it is no matter where ever I take/transfer it. But no! It forgets who it is whenever it sees...
I am very noob in Photoshop. I want to draw a tree with leaves, just to practice following the original psd file. But no way I can achieve the same level of excellency the original one has.

This seemed like a futile thing to look up but every single guide I check seems to work for a different use case. My question is this: given a "prism" (or just an extruded rectangle), how can I outline it with a thin black line? Below, I attempt to apply a stroke but it just changes the entire outer 3D edges. What I ...

Can I name chapters/sections of pages in InDesign - as well as navigate them through a panel? Yes, I've seen the [a,b,c]-[i,ii,iii]-[1,2,3]-solution suggested on this platform.

I'm new to Illustrator and struggling to solve this issue.

I'm using Inkscape. How would I do image fading, say about 5 steps equally spaced, so that they eventually blend into the background.

MS's font Calibri is not legally usable outside of MS (and opening a .doc document with Libre Office will break the structure of the file). To solve that a new font named Carlito was designed to be compatible with the metric used by Calibri (as reported here or here for instance). Recently, I received a document with a...
I have an illustration containing text and brush strokes and would like to export it as 3 files each containing what is inside one of the three green shapes.

I'm trying to produce an image from the point of view of a person with dementia who can no longer make sense of signage. The feeling is that the forms are very familiar, but don't come together as real words any more, which makes it frustrating.

I would like to make a transparent cutout in a shape so that the position or shape of the cutout can be changed in the future. For example, consider the black and the yellow rectangles: I would like to use the yellow rectangle as the shape that makes a transparent cutout in the black rectangle. Using the pathfinder to...
When converting SVG icons to a font, the conversion seems to strip away everything but the SVG paths. This makes sense, as that's what a font is, a collection of numerically (or mathematically) defined bezier-paths (or at least thats my perception of a fonts underlying nature). Does anyone know if there is anyway to ke...
Was wondering if there was a faster way to change the colour of text using the eye dropper tool to sample colour from some artwork.

I scanned a line drawing and extracted the line work in Inkscape. I'm trying to clean up the image in Gimp (erasing dust specks and such), but the lines remain a bit jagged.

I am trying to imitate the grainy photocopy effect in the poster below. I have found some photoshop tutorials but it doesn't quite give me the exact outcome.

I'm not a graphics illustrator or an artist, and I only have Fireworks CS5. I purchased this EPS at depositphotos thinking that the road (with the line in the middle) was actually two curved lines.

Premise: I am not a graphic designer but I enjoy using Adobe Photoshop to create logos.

So basically the entire premise was to design something around the meaning of the word, i.e., brave/heroic. Hence, I thought of designing it around a shield which are kinda hexagonal, so I went with that. Also, since Lions are a sign of bravery, I added that too. The initial drafts had a caduceus too (since it’s a medi...
