Make the rectangle you need, select it, then Arrange->Convert To Outlines. Now it's just a plain vanilla object. Select the corner you want to round with the Select Point tool and then use the Round Corner tool to make it all nice and round. After you get the shape you want then add the...

Looks like 'Life Support Caves' at first glance. Lose that awful script. Regardless, the thing itself makes little to no sense and you've deftly captured that with a layout that also makes no sense. Start over.

True but...the word you might have chosen is 'diameter' not 'thickness'. While 'thickness' is correct, it is imprecise. The tips of the blades, which is what does most of the cutting, on both the .9mm and the 1.5mm are identical. The length of the cutting edge, the sharpened edge above the...

It's hardly rocket surgery. The belt goes around the top and bottom pulleys and is forced inward by the idler pulley on your right. Just glance at this picture and it should be perfectly clear...

That is one of the top ten all time silly and, at the same time, blissfully ignorant comments encountered while lurching through a long and checkered life. What someone is is defined, completely, utterly, by what they do. Not what they say, but how they act, what they do. How some specimen...

Regardless of Microsoft's clip-art status, the correct word is 'copyrighted' not 'copywritten'. The latter is not a word at all. Regardless of the grammatical indecency, anything created post-1989 is copyrighted merely by virtue of the fact that it exists. The ® means 'registered' and its use...

Only a certified cretin would use it in all caps, if at all.

Looks like a convulsion. Could you throw any more crap and effects at it? The only thing it lacks is a bit of diamond plate.

I make purchases from wherever I get the best deal on the best product. Total deal, not necessarily price alone. If that's down the block or across the planet, it matters not to me. My lack of interest in 'buying local' is total. In a free market, the best of all economic systems, businesses...

Review your rendering intents and try setting them to 'No Color Correction' or, failing that 'Saturation', for everything except bitmaps. Set the rendering intent for bitmaps to 'Perceptual'.

It's not that difficult. First, what elements are vector and which are bitmaps? I assume the tacky but inexplicably popular metallic fill is a bitmap but what about the rest of the elements? In spite of the protests of the strident profile neurotics shoveling on this sand pile, you only...

What are you agonizing over? Just pick a sans serif type face of the right aspect ratio with angled finals on the 'C'. No one on the planet will know or care if you don't choose the exact face. It's understandable to want to match a specimen type face but this?

I need a quote or two for a pair of 8'x32' outdoor banners, art will be supplied. These banners will be face mounted on an existing billboard. PM me if you're interested.

Only if you want to use a fully automated process. You always can use the unfashionable but equally effective manual bomb sight method which is fully supported by Flexi. In fact, for larger prints, it's far more reliable.

You own the copyright to the material via the Berne convention of, I think, 1989. If you have files showing the image that show a creation date that pre-dates anyone else's files you are the owner and proprietor of the image. You're entitled at least to your design fee. File in small claims...

If you can manage to add just a taste of noise to the gradient before you flatten the image it will become far more civilized. Flexi's RIP often seems to process a gradient in a bitmap with way too much emphasis on transition points. It's almost as if it wants to enhance the boundary. This...

All signs are commodities. They are fungible in that a sign of a specific category, size, etc., is functionally identical with any other sign with the same objective attributes, and as such, is a commodity. The operative word here is 'objective'. This always seems to annoy those that somehow...

What is a 'Chupa Chup'? I should think the the designer is far more notable than the product.

With the advent of moveable type, around 1450ce, there evolved rules for typography. Actually guidelines rather than rules. One rule that was inherent in the physical nature of moveable type was the concept of the inviolability of the type body. Since each character was cast on a rectangular...

All of the examples shown are incorrect. Many of the Roman characters violate the body of their neighbors. That's why something set in all uppercase italics is generally considered to be dubious typography. It often looks unpleasant. Especially using a type face with serifs. I fully...
