Illustrator :: Making Logo Image Smaller

Nov 22, 2012

I am a hardcore Photoshop nut lol but I have recently approached learning how to use 'AI' to create my company Logo so that It can be Vector based and therefore Re-size it according to web and print as needed.
 
You've properly encountered this problem lots of times and i'm properly being really silly, but I am having major problems re-sizing and it, causing pixelisation on my Image, esp when going to 'Save for web and Devices'.
 
I did have 'drop down shadow effects' on the Logo but I believe I have deleted all of that in Appearences, Incase it is the raster effects causing the problems... but even back at its seemingly basics, I'm still having the same problems.
 
I tried making the Image smaller using the 'scale' & 'transform' tool before taking it into 'Save for Web and Devices' and even on my artboard it now looks pixelated..
 
My Artboard size is 1200 x 1200 and in 'Save for Web and Devices' it says the Original Image size is 800 x 600 (which I believe is the size of the document I chose when starting my project)...
 
I tried Playing with the PPI in the 'Document Raster Effects' settings, this doesn't seem to be making a difference.. Infact I'm sure playing with all the settings has almost caused my edges already to not be as sharp in view: 100% (RGB/Overprint preview) as they once were and I don't think I have the original document to go back too, due to thinking the Logo was fine, before relizing I had a problem in resizing & saving.
 
I have tried all of the save options in 'Save for Web and Devices' but still the Image looks pixelized, even when ignoring previewer and going ahead to re-opening the saved Image.

I've spent hours trawling the web tirelessly without any result and after being so happy with the Logo, it would be such a shame to have to delete it and try and start all over again either in Illustrator or back in Photoshop (where I know the quality won't be as good)..

Illustrator :: Making Perfect Curve Swoosh Logo

Sep 23, 2013

I am trying to make a swoosh at the bottom and top of the two mirrored side profiles. As you can see I have attempted to draw one at the bottom by adding paths and smoothing it but I'm finding it very tricky, I want it to be like the curve of a circle.I am new to pen tool, I'm sure there must be an easier way. I tried removing anchor points but I just gives it a straight edge.

The bit at the end of the swoosh is too thin, I tried adding anchor points but it looks even more wonky. The bottom image is an internet source of what I am trying to acheive.

Illustrator :: Making Logo Smaller - Downsizing File Dimensions

Jan 10, 2013

I am new to Illustrator, and am trained in Photoshop.  I'm working with a printer that wants a vector based AI file, so I'm trying my hand at Illustrator.  I have an AI, vector based, logo that I'm trying to fit onto a business card template.  The logo is primarily text, with a circle surrounding one of the letters.  The circle has a stroke that narrows on the right hand side to a tiny sliver.  I am selecting all three layers (the top line of text, bottom line of text, and the surrounding circle), holding down the shift key to preserve the proportions, and grabbing the little box in the bottom corner to shrink the whole selection.  As I make the selection smaller, the surrounding circle around one of the letters becomes fatter, changing the look of the logo.  How do I correctly make the logo smaller, without converting it to a PDF or JPEG?

Photoshop :: CS5 - Making Camera-Ready PDF

Feb 23, 2012

I created a letterhead in Photoshop CS5, 8.5x11, 300 DPI, CMYK. All it consists of is a logo in the corner and a footer with some text. The layers have not been merged.

When I go to save as a PDF, exactly what settings do I need to set to make sure this is "camera-ready" for professional printing (Kinkos, etc.)

Press Quality preset seems like a given.

Photoshop :: Making Photos Web Ready In An Automated Batch File

Dec 12, 2008

I've got a number of images that are 300dpi which I need to save for the web. I've been able to take one image and change the dpi to 72 and then go into Image Ready and shrink the size some more. I've tried to automate the process but after I run a batch I actually get the files back double their original size. What might I be doing wrong here? I'm using PS 7 and, while in no way a professional, I can get by... except for this bit obviously! So, what's the best way to automate the process of turning my files into nice, lean web-ready images?

Xara :: Editing Print Ready PDFs For Commercial Printing

Jun 27, 2012

This post is regarding using Designer Pro to edit print ready PDF's (with crop marks, colour bars etc) created using Photoshop and Illustrator. I can do the edits, but if I try and export the file it corrupts (colour values change, some text changes col)

The files are supplied to me by a designer and sometimes I need to do urgent changes myself before going to print. I have unticked the 'add printers marks' box to avoid a double set of marks and colour bars and have the fonts installed too.

Photoshop :: Making A Web Logo With Transparent Background?

Apr 13, 2012

I'm designing a header logo for a website with Photoshop CS4 (Mac) but am struggling to understand how to get the background transparent.
 
In Photoshop I've designed the logo using multiple layers. Prior to saving I've disabled the background layers (used for testing purposes), thus leaving a transparent area behind the logo (shown as a checkerboard pattern). However, I don't understand what the next step is. I've tried "Save for web" as well as flattening it first, only to result in a white background. I suppose I don't need to flatten it then I've also messed around with the transparency and matte options in the "Save for web" window but to no avail (yes, I know that I need to save in either GIF or PNG though for the latter I don't know the difference between PNG 8 and 24 and which of the three formats I should go for).
 
As for "Matte"; is this the color in the image which should be made transparent? So that in my case with a logo containing white among several colors I should make the background something entirely different from the logo as a background layer and choose "Matte" for that? I've also experimented with that but to no avail.

Photoshop Elements :: Making Logo Transparent - White Square Box Appearing

Feb 14, 2014

I want my whole logo to be transparent. I have saved it png, png 24. And still nothing works. How to get this box to disappear. Just to make sure I wasn't doing something wrong I took a photo and made the background transparent and took the selection that was not and put it into a different photo and the white square edge was still around it.

Illustrator :: World-Ready Composer / Enables TRL Language

Dec 26, 2012

World-Ready Composer: In CS6 (North American) only InDesign has world-ready composer, which enables RTL languages.  I need that functionality in Illustrator.  Presently RTL can only be typed LTR, ie backwards .
 
I'm attempting to cut and paste sections of the Pentateuch in Hebrew into Illustrator so that I can format the text for cross-stitch embroidery.  I already designed the cross-stitch true type font, which is working, but I need world-ready composer in order to paste RTL Hebrew in the correct order.

Illustrator :: Automatically Print Data Set While Avoiding Print Dialog Box?

Aug 13, 2013

My company is exporting Postcards in Illustrator CS6. What we do is have a large data set imported into the Variables applet and use the Actions applet to record and export action and play it through the whole data set. We later combine the PDF files and print them as a batch.
 
My question is: Is there a way to create an action that will automatically print the data set while avoiding the print dialog box? It will make the process simple and move faster.
 
Also, what are your was of creating postcards? Catalogs?
 
How do people create a catalog with over 60 pages and keep the file size low?
