  2. Preview your installed fonts in browser

    seems to be working for me. Interesting concept now I need to find a good use for it http://wordmark.it/
  3. how to expand my eps file for cutting?

    You cannot expand this logo no matter what software. The only way to do what you are asking is to have a vector of it. If you are printing you might get away with rebuilding the letter in photoshop but that still won't allow you to cut on a plotter
  4. CS5 Purchase

    For anyone that has purchased used, how do you go about finding out if the serial # is legitimate and that both of the 2 licenses are in fact clear to use? What would prevent someone from registering on only 1 computer or forgetting to deauthorize that machine and sell the software? You would...
  5. CS5 Purchase

    No I think you are limited to 2 machines not 3
  6. CS5 Purchase

    It appears you cannot upgrade Education versions. So once you buy it this way then at some point you will have to purchase the regular commercial version It also cannot be resold http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/volumelicensing/pdfs/ado_cs5_bro_stl_prgm_faq_hr.pdf
  7. CS5 Purchase

    That is true but the first CS was a long time ago so I can understand Adobe's stance on that. I tend to skip and upgrade every other version. I am at cs3 now and still am on the fence about upgrading. There are some tricks to opening up some CS4 and CS5 files. If you have Acrobat distiller then...
  8. CS5 Purchase

    What features in cs5 do you absolutely need? Can you use cs3 or cs4? I guess what I am trying to say is what feature will make you a better designer or more efficient and can you do without and thus save some money?
  9. Copyright? 18 and older only!

    The link that SAS provided reveals something that is too similar to what you did.
  10. Another Logo "Ripoff" controversy

    Just like Bill said in the first post, you can probably find similarities in just about any logo, intentional or not Look half way down at this link at a design trend article. Many of those companies could say the same about each other http://www.logolounge.com/article.asp? I have seen at...
  11. Font ID

    unless you are creating new letters, why not just trace?
  12. no spare tire? Use a branch

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWfzPLeQSAM There must be a redneck joke here
  13. Making text on a angle with a wave

    I don't recall the options in v10, but my sample was done using the envelope distort tool. Text on a path generally follows the path and will not result in the vertical sides as shown on my sample. Even in newer versions of Illy will not produce these results when using text on a path. You must...
  14. Making text on a angle with a wave

    When you create a path for the text to follow make sure you also create stroked lines above and/or below the text. That way when you apply the distortion/envelope tool, make sure both the text and lines are selected so all are distorted/curved at the same time. Alternately you can go in by hand...
  15. New blog post about distorted photos

    Ah yes. I guess I figured it was automatic. Mine is already checked, but I will add that step
  16. New blog post about distorted photos

    I have not blogged in forever. Been too busy, but just did today. Maybe most of you know about this function in Photoshop but I thought I would share. There are some customers of mine who think I have a magic button to trace angled photos. Not really magic, but it gives some insight into what is...
  17. True Block Shadow in Illustrator

    It does not work that way in Illustrator. You do have to manually connect the shadow by adding lines and segments to give it the 3d extruded effect. It can be done using the 3d extrude filter in Illustrator but not if you want to cut it in vinyl as this method produces way too many shapes and points
  18. 27" Samsung GREAT PRICE!!!!

    You are correct OP. The site did not list a vga port in the description so I guess it required investigation to find the rear view. I will still say though that the samsung is a better monitor for resolution and refresh rate. Plus that Toshiba does not have a dvi port
