What software did you use to make your earlier logos and layouts?

First, what version of Illustrator and Photoshop? There are a few ways to get the edge of the graphic but you are going to make a mask in Illustrator. As Fred siad you can create a vector edge in Illustrator or Photoshop. In Photoshop you can select the backround color with the wand, make the...

Is this a Combat Infantry badge? And you want to put it on a yellow oval backround?

Hey, you forgot InDesign and Quark!

One question, Why do you need to go into .dxf? This may be obvious, but there is a reason I ask......forget it, I got the answer, What version of Illustrator do you have? The later versions export to .dxf.

I've been a Flexi user for 10 years so I have some knowledge of it, I am also going on the 3rd major upgrade of my copy of Flexi, the shop I started using it had more of a use for it than I do now. He also had Gerber GA and Corel (I also have both of those programs). One production shop I...

I have Flexi and I have adapted it's use. I think Flexi has some great features, but I think it's way over-priced for what I do too (I over bought) If I was a production shop, Flexi is great. They have the best production tools. It really depends on what you need it to do. 75% of my work is...

When you say "expensive" what does that mean exactly? Have worked for a trade show company, cheap would be 100k for a display. I have seen 1 million bucks spent on automotive trade show exhibits that were used only one time or when the Mini Cooper came out, 3D billboards that cost a small...

Illustrator 10 is good, especially if you know how to use it. The CadTools plug-in would be nice so you can design in scale. If you do not have Photoshop or a whole lot of fonts (though most are not really useable) then Corel is also nice to have around.

Looks like Trajan Bold to me

Well, I have Corel, Flexi, Illustrator and a few more vector and sign programs but I design all my signs (from vinyl to large pylon and monuments signs) in Illustrator w/CadTools. If I was a production shop, I would still design in Illustrator w/CadTools but output with Flexi. Corel is just as...

Look for the "Pathfinder" window.....

All of the above..... From being mentored, Art Center drop-out, worked at one man shops to large design firms and everything inbetween from being a grunt to a senior designer.

It's always the simple things that trip you up.....I said it before on this forum...the first time I had to turn on a Mac computer, it took me two hours to figure it out....and I actually didn't actually figure it out....I asked my boss who just hired me......she was not amused.....

After you warped it, did you "expand" it?

My favorite for 50's kitcsh type is House www.houseindustries.com

Bobby H and Bob said it best.... Everyone turns into an idiot when they first try design software. When I got my first computer I took three months day and night trying to learn it, just when I thought I was handy with it, another designer I met, blew me away with what he knew. It will help...

May I also suggest Illustrator? You can upgrade your Photoshop 7.0 to Creative Suite CS2 Standard for 499.00 (includes Illustrator, Photoshop, and In Design) or CS2 Premium for 749.00 (that adds Acrobat and Go Live)

I have to save up for the SEGD Conference in Hollywood and How Conference in Las Vegas. I try to go when it's in Vegas.

I'm going to upgrade it even though I rarely use my Corel 12, my only question is....What happend to X1 and X2? (I know... I know....X=10)
