When looking at answering this question about Dr. Kigner's half glove in Invasion of the Body Snatchers, my first thought was that it was an anti-smudge glove. I wear one when working on my digital tablet to reduce fingerprints and palm-contact triggering the surface, and I remembered hearing of similar devices being u...
I've been using Inkscape for a while, but I'm trying to remove everything covered by the red circles retaining only the blue curves in this drawing [.

I'm trying to identify the exact font LinkedIn uses for the #OpenToWork and #Hiring badges, which are placed on the profile pictures.

Whenever I go to a printshop I try to give them the most suitable and high quality print-ready files, so that they do not need to take any extra steps or adjust things on the way (although they sometimes need).

I'm working on a simple SVG animation: a rectangle with rounded corners. The SVG contains two paths, one with a smooth line and one with a zigzag line.

Can someone please help me identify this font or typeface?
First thing I guess I should say is I don't do graphics much at all... I've done a few decent little things (like my profile picture), but I'm still very well a beginner...

I'm struggling to cut some simple shapes out of my logo, using the shape-builder tool.

I am supposed to take printouts of a few of my assignments which I had submitted digitally. I created those PDFs using (Lua)LaTeX.

I created some designs for print on photoshop and when I save as a photoshop PDF, the printers are saying they see some white text behind the copy on a particular line.

Say I have an image (this, specifically) which, for whatever reason, has poor color reproduction.

While I understand the basic concept of the 12-step color wheel, I've noticed that in many color palettes, the saturation (S) and brightness (B) values of the colors often do not remain constant, even though the colors fit together harmoniously.
