for a web designer for designing a Mock-up for a web site(page+subpage+specialpage), what from Adobe PS required? eg. Selections, Layers, Slicing, Guides, ... knowledge, well, is it needed anything else? I a reader ADOBE PRESS CIB PS CS6 BOOK.
I need to create a few mockups of an Intranet site for a project, the task can be done in HTML and CSS or using an art package.
Ideally I want to be able to change the colour of text, background colour or maybe border colours throughout the site at the change of a hex value as you would on a stylesheet.
Is it possible to group text/assign styles in Photoshop so that any changes will occur throughout my PSD file, in a similar way to styles in a Word doc?
How do you guys go about making mockups? Art package or CSS and HTML?
I'm looking for a workflow to create web mock-ups in the most efficient and easy way.
What Im looking for is to take an existing web frontend page and tweek it with new sections and components like buttons / menus / new text areas,images etc etc...are there any specific tools or "web galleries" to use for this purpose that I can incorporate into CS6....not really sure how to form this question in the right way but I hope this sort of exaplined my purpose....creation of good-looking web page design (even if it will jsut be in .psd format)
I've been downloading a few mock-ups to use in my portfolio and I want to start to make my own for some that I can't find on the web. I've manages to make a realistic looking asset for what I want, but I don't know how to add text and stuff to it. Usually, when I open a downloaded mock-up PSD I just double click on the smart object, edits the contents hit save and BOOM done it's at the perspective for whatever I am changing.
However, I've made smart object and I'm trying to edit the contents so when I double click it just opens the object again and whatever I ad will add, but it doesn't save at the perspective. i How do I make a smart object to edit contents (text, images, logo, etc etc) on a plain PSB or PSD so it saves at the angle or perspective I want?
This is my design before I double click on the smart layer
Here is the image when I double click the smart layer (not exactly what I want).
Here is a mock that I downloaded after I double click the next pictures show's what I want.
This is what I want to do in my original design, but how do I get the text to do this with a smart object?? I want to edit text in my design and apply it (not necessarily this design, but my own) to my smart object (first image) I created in photoshop. How do I do this?
I'm trying to create an action to place graphics on tshirts to mock up some products, how can i customize my action so that it asks what graphic (image file) i want to place each time the action is run?
My friend has asked me to make tickets for his music gig in my town. I was wondering if I should make this ticket in Photoshop or Illustrator? Also, How big would this ticket be?
I have to design a 2 x 12 ft banner which is giong to be printed on canvas. I was wondering what the document setup would be for something like this. What would the document size be, and at what dpi should I keep the resolution. And are there any color guidelines when designing for something like this.?
Why would you take a layout from Illustrator or Photoshop to InDesign when you can do the entire layout in either of those programs, with crop guides and save the files as a PDF for printing? Is there any reason to not do an entire layout in Photoshop?
I've updated to the latest version of Photoshop that finally gives us retina support.. it does look beautiful but is it about to make our life harder? I design for both web and print and decided to test it out.
I created a standard document 1024x768/72, i was given a tiny canvas on screen, definitely not the size it should be, my understanding is that if i save this and load it on non-retina it will be the correct size?
So, if i want to create the same document, but also the correct size on retina, what should the dimensions be? Do i simply double the pixels, increase the resolution? Am i going to be forced to save all graphics twice?
We're headed down a path that requires adding new steps to our work flow and i'm not quite sure what that is yet.
I've used illustrator a bit for drawing pictures, but never for web graphics... I need to create some tabs (for the top of a webpage). Maybe illustrator isn't the most common tool for this but it's the one I can use the most.
Anyone know of any tutorials that might be useful (i've not found any) or have any tips for making the tabs look nice (e.g. what effects to use)
We have a set of stairs at home that are currently painted white. My wife would like for me to design an image that could be seen clearly from the top of the stairs (such as a tree coming from the basement, etc...) while having another image on the back of the stairs which would be seen from the bottom of the stairs.
Problem : How can I dsign such an image as a one point, I will see both images (when I am at the bottom of the stairs) ? Any ideas ?
PS pat files are patterns? how used, applied & imported to PS? How appear Grid lines(eg 960 grid system; how configure?) when designing a mockup with PS cc or cs6?
PS cs6 -to-> PS cc needed uninstall/reinstall... or can use upon update (no uninstall)?
This problem will probably be very simple for a lot of you. Unfortunately, I'm not as adept at Photoshop as I should, or would like to be.
I want to design a postcard for my business, using several photos in a scattered arrangement on the card, with my business name on.
I'm using Elements 5 and have played around with the "create a greeting card" function. It comes close to what I want to do, but it does seem rather basic. As Photoshop always seems have more than one way of doing something, I was wondering if there is more effective way of going about it, buried in Elements somewhere. Or perhaps there is another, (preferably cheap) program that is better at this. One thing I would like to do is to change the background colour on the card and not have to rely on the background templates offered in the special effects palette. Ultimately, I will be getting them professionally printed, so I will need to supply the printer with the art work in the appropriate form.
I'm new to Photoshop and want to design a new baseball jersey for my team. Is there any way of doing this on Photoshop and if so, what plugins will I need? I want to be able to see a picture of a jersey and edit the colors, logo, etc...
I'm interested in using PS to design tool icons for application toolbars. This question really relates to using PS for very small images (say less than 32x32 pixels in size). Are they any tips for working with small images in PS that you can share?
I've tried some dedicated programs like Microangelo but PS has more tools and effects.
I've tried working on it 2400mm x 1800mm (300 dpi) the image size is too large. 1.6gb? This is for tarpaulin printing. Also what would be the best format if I will save it as flat image? ( PNG,JPG )
I have an upcoming job which requires me to design a series of icons for screen usage (32x32 pixels). I've had plenty of experience designing icons and logos for print, and would appreciate some tips on the method for designing them for screen.
Is the process just a matter of designing the logos in a vector program, importing them into a 72dpi PS file (32x32 pixels), and then optimising the file in Image Ready? (batch process?).
I need to make some artwork that might be viewed in both RGB and printed with CMYK. I know I can switch the color mode after making the artwork, however, I'm concerned with color shifting when changing from RGB to CMYK or the other way around. How do you design something that you can both print and display on screen without compromising the colors?
I'm a young carpenter who works in the exhibition trade and I was wondering what would my best way to start drawing stands out on the computer to get working measurements . What program to use?
I'm designing a warehouse with a mezzanine. i goggled all over and didn't really find information on how to model a mezzanine. I didn't find families, and it seems most people use a floor. I can try that.
I also wonder if it is better to use the ground floor and have the mezzanine elevated, or if the mezzanine should be a new level. i see both ways working, but wonder if there is a better option. I also want to add the stairs etc.
I also will need to add railing etc. but this seems a secondary problem now. I'm really surprised Google didn't reveal much since mezzanines are very common.
I need designing a tubular chassis. I am building a 4wheel drive buggy out of 2" pipe. I would like to design it on AutoCAD but it does not have the ability to try out the articulation of my suspension. Any third party software I could add to the software that would allow me to do this. Also, I have never designed anything with tubes what is the easiest way? Is there any LISP's out there to make this job easier?
I need to create a flyer as a .pdf that will be sent via email and will likely be printed from an ink jet. The flyer will have images placed from Photoshop. Is there any reason to not layout the whole composition in AI and instead do it in PS? Is it just a matter of preference or are there strong reasons to go one way or the other?
I am designing large signs in corel draw ( 29 feet x 15 feet ). When I zoom out it only goes to 3%. Is there a way to let corel let me work with larger signs?
I design conveyors, when im done I layout all the parts so i copy object and make a layer called parts. my question is can i layout a part without making a whole new part off the frame so there is not other items in the veiwports?
In the pic at the origin is my conveyor then i have all the parts duplicated a second time for layout in the veiwports.
We live in an age when most architects use computer software in the design process, and I wondered how the tablet may be useful in this process? whether it is better to use a mouse with high precision when using programs such as Revit Architecture, ArchiCAD, or things like that.
i am looking to design two decks of playing cards. i have decided on the theme, and i have decided on the general design for four of the court cards and the backs of the cards. the manufacturer requires more than 100 .ai files, .eps files for the tuck boxes and that i supply pantone colors.
I'm designing a simple flyer that will be printed (I have little experience in the print world) and it might need to bleed to the edges, though I'm waiting to hear back from the person I'm designing it for.
If it does bleed to the edges, do I only need to make sure that the artwork on my artboard touches the edges of my artboard? OR is there something else that needs to be done?
I created a new print document at 8.5 x 11 that I intend to use to design a calendar with. I would like to flip the canvas/artboard horizonttally so that I can design it horizontally. How can I do this in CS6?
