Re: Illustrator!
[B]object > cutting area[/B] (it's in the bottom options, I have the dutch version and can't remember the english name of the option).
You can also create a path (rectangular) and select it, then choose [B]object > cutting area[/B] to save only the selected area for the web.
Re: Illustrator!

Re: Illustrator!
Yer welcome :D
I'm trying to sort out some 15.000 fonts right now...it's fucking driving me crazy!
Re: Illustrator!
whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!...holy!!!............i just got around 730 so far!!......15,000 sounds nasty!!..............but messy!!.........the size of your folder is?......2.5gb...sort of?....i want fonts :Who:
Re: Illustrator!
I have no idea, but I know people who have a lot more than that. I guess the folders will amount to maybe 25.000 in total, but there's so many double ones that I keep it at a safe 15K (and my font manager has already backed that number up).
The hint is understood, will hit you up when i'm done sorting :D
Re: Illustrator!
i am very pick-e with my fonts. use to have a huge amount as well, found out that 3 gigs were dedicated to fonts. cleaned them out, and I am down to 500 of the creme of the crop. ;)
Re: Illustrator!
I'm weeding them out as well, and have a certain collection I tend to return to, however, I always take my time to look around for a font that might just catch the 'feel' of the job. Sometimes with success, sometimes without. But I agree that there can be an overkill in Fonts I would personally prefer a number anywhere between 400 and 600 to be honest.

And there are many more...but sometimes it pays off to actually order a CD because the official release will give you all the variants of a certain fonts, and those will be the quality ones, not those designer by some guy in their free time giving you only half of the characters that a full set should include...
Re: Illustrator!

Re: Illustrator!
lol
A lot of that stuff is just trial and error dude ;)
Re: Illustrator!
well im an amateur what can i do?.........master yao yeach me some sh1t3!!....hehe....wondering...when i do some cover desing for an example or any other stuff with x size.....how much should of a boundary should i make?....... .4mm?....so when they cut the cover the info is still intact?.........
Re: Illustrator!
Bleeding space? Depends on which carrier you print it...normal posters can usually so with a mac of 5 mm bleeding, businesscards shouldn't need more than 2 actually. So it also depends a bit on the size I guess.
As for the master: I'm pretty handy with Illustrator and Fireworks/Imageready, and can do some abstract 3D renders in Cinema, but I've decided to try and master Photoshop inside out since somehow people think it's the shit, especially in the graphics industry. You can do an awful lot with it, but for some reason even the most elementatry shit that takes me 10 secs in illustrator is nearly impossible in PS, so I think I still have enough to learn too. It'll take me a few weeks to bring my skills up to the illy level, it's mostly finding what is hidden where in the program.
But I just completely resent the fact that Adobe deemed it necessary to put the similar or same functions in different places in the programs, not to mention the fact that the conditionalities for applyig them also differ in places. This makes it unnecessarily hard to work with them at times, and can be extremely frustrating. A little example: why not have a pathfinder in PS like Illy has? Why make that different again? There's probably a reason for it, but I don't know it...
Re: Illustrator!
yeah....ive been using photoshop since i stared with desing almost 5 6 years ago.....i know some tricks im not a master but maybe i can help you i doubt it but....you are free to ask....just make a post that says "photoshop" hehe.....thanks for the info, actually im making some bussines card but i put it 4mm...mmmm.....make my file with 9.4 x 5.4 and to that i put the guides so it keep it to 9x5......rite?......anyway thanks for the greatfull help you keep telling me.........
Re: Illustrator!
also in photoshop, im more like photomanipulation.....on here there is some post that i put some images that i made for 2 girls...kinda the same....but maybe you can see what im talking about...
Re: Illustrator!
how do i make my own tshirt on illustrator?
Re: Illustrator!
vector images if you can...but this is a very general question. Gimme some detailed and I'll spill what I know...Dom is even better at it :D
Re: Illustrator!
ok suppouse that i have my design in a vector image.....do i need to make a tshirt-shape on illustrator like a regular paper?.....i mean......so i can know where i want to put the image coz i got a couple of ideas......wish my english was better so i can especify what i want.......and yes they are vector images.....
Re: Illustrator!
you could download a mockup image of a shit which you can use to specify the position on the shirt, but in the end they'll need a simple vector image for printing on the shirt. I'd make a jpeg mockup of the front and back and then supply the AI or PSD files with the vector img.
Make your work setup in the image files for printing in centimeters or inches, and make sure that the imagea are in the right size. If its 4 inches wide in your document the printer should make it that size when printed. I once supplied the printshop with the mockups and the print files, but forgot that the latter images had to be in realsize...so I ended up with the a tee that had a huge print, hahaha...
Re: Illustrator!
Digger, hey bro. If you go to [url]www.threadless.com[/url] and go to where you can put your own design up for a chance to win $$$ and have your design up on a shirt, they have a place where you can download a free template which has a shirt on it with many different colors.

not sure making some others styles with some other stuff...hehe.....
Re: Illustrator!
that is absolutely...:rockhard:
Re: Illustrator!
thanks mate!!:.....but not sure how to delop the graphic to the printer guy, on AI or in PSD or what!!..argh...but theres the idea hehe...
Re: Illustrator!
ask them what they use. and then just suit it to their preferences. I sometimes just give them a psd,ai, and a big jpeg file to make sure they have everything.
Re: Illustrator!
i got a couple of more tshirts......around 10 more design i should put them or share with some of you.....they are really simple like the other...but like them..anyway...do them with some images around the internet...should be a problem about Copyright?......naaaahhh..lets hope not....
Re: Illustrator!
just use low resolution jpegs to show them ;)
Re: Illustrator!
hehe yeah...ey yao im waiting for those fonts.....lol......maybe your favs :P....at least....
Re: Illustrator!
I'll try, i need to go through some 15000 and create a map with my fave's, lol. Nice tees by the way, I like them and would definitely wear them mate ;)
