It looks like a knock-off version of ITC Eras.

Horseshoe Falls is the more impressive of the two waterfalls. It can be viewed on either side (on Goat Island on the US side or across the Niagara River). I think the view of Horseshoe Falls is better on the Canadian side. The observation points get you fairly close to the edge. It's incredible...

Here's a better example (attached) of the art brush trick at work. Standard text on path effects just wouldn't work properly on this volunteer fire dept logo. The same goes for standard envelope effects. Using a variable version of TT Supermolot allowed me to adjust the width axis of the...

Envelope effects work okay in Illustrator. But I think Art Brushes work better in plenty of cases. In the attached sample image I turned a piece of text into an art brush and applied that brush to a path. The Width Tool in Illustrator can vary the stroke thickness. They're live effects and can...

A lot of newer and bigger coin-op video game cabinets are pretty elaborate. They seem to have a vibe similar to modern slot machines and other casino gaming cabinets. I still prefer the classic coin-op games from the early 1980's. Their designs were more iconic in nature. Old cabinets like...

In certain cases I've turned text objects into Art Brushes to get the lettering to flow along a curve or other shape more gracefully.

Our first large format printer was a Roland VP-540. It was not reliable at all printing neutral grays. The grays would print either with a green or red tint. Sometimes the tint would shift in the same print job. Take one end of the gray print and wrap it around to the other; the grays would...

I'm willing to bet good money a bean-counting suit at Pantone dreamed up this scheme. There is no way it could have been pitched by a person actually involved in graphics production. In just about any professional graphics work-flow people will be using multiple types of software from multiple...

The ACB files from the CS6 release are pretty old (2012). They're missing a lot of the "Plus Series" color additions from recent years. I don't know how old/new the Pantone swatches are from the ericforest.ca website link in Post #4 above. It might be good to compare them. With an application...

Rival applications to Illustrator, such as CorelDRAW or Affinity Designer, are not affected by this Pantone color books issue (at least not yet anyway). Maybe Pantone sees Corel and Serif as "little fish" too insignificant to reel in, unlike Adobe. There is a work-around for Illustrator and...

What version of Photoshop are you using? Another bad issue: activation. Over the past several years Adobe has been steadily turning off the activation servers for various Creative Suite releases. From what I've heard they're going to be shutting down the servers that support the CS5 and CS6...

In order to use the Adobe Fonts service you need a Creative Cloud subscription. If your copy of Photoshop is a CC-based version then you're in luck. One CC account can be used on up to two computers. I use it on my desktop PC at work and my notebook at home. Plus I have some of the CC apps...

Yes. The Adobe Fonts service is one of the better perks that come with the subscription.

They added a few more variable families today, upping the total from 122 to 130. We'll see how the total grows over time.

Adobe just added 122 OTF Variable Font families to the Adobe Fonts service. This is a pretty decent collection of variable families. Most of them have multiple variable axes (including some unusual ones like "style" or "bounce"). The Adobe Fonts web page has been updated to add a search filter...

The "R" has that tiny "foot" on the right end of the lower right leg. That's more characteristic of the '57 Helvetica family. The "neue" version has clean stems (and the "now" version lets you choose between curved or straight legs on the "R").

No. I just commented on some post a "new member" made, trying to sell crypto currency on Telegram. The admins deleted the post.

Bye spammer.

Our company primarily sells Daktronics units. Our 2nd choice is Watchfire. We'll only sell other brands selling cheaper products (Optec, EBSCO, etc) if the customer insists on that. Our service on those cheaper products is going to be more limited. We have far more experience servicing Dak and...
