Name of the technique of "boiling down sketches" + resources?

I'm looking for: 1) namefor a certain art/design techniqueand 2 /terminology) resources to help develop the technique.

I want to be able to create graphic images by: a) Google search for photographs of objects such as animals, structures, trinkets, tools, etc., b) mentally boiling down the concept of the object to its Visual essence, c) drawing on paper than the representation of the object, d) convert this sketch to a vector to be digitally refined and finalized object (, simplified and ending e) with a final result that resembles the 'simple' graphs as described, shapes, silhouettes, icons - type chart located in the logos, album covers, etc. (maybe in a few years, I'll shoot for the more ambitious designs, but not today.) )

The technique that I write especially is the combination of b) + c) above, which I shall call a technical 'sketch of boiling down'. I am confident in my ability to manage a) + d).

I think it has an official name in the world of the art/design for this technique of "boiling down sketches", but I have been unable to identify it with the research. Also, I saw a number of Lynda.com courses on drawing and illustration, and as big as they are, none of them seem to specifically cover the How-to of this technique of "boiling down sketches".

1) which is the term for this technique of, so that I can find some practical information about this? Any other relevant search keywords would be appreciated also.

2) what how-to resources for the development of this technique that you would recommend? (Videos, if possible, that my brain seems to process statement better art actually look at how it's done in real time).

I have to emphasize two points:

(1) I spent half a day to myself education on copyright law which concerns photographs. I am aware that convert a photo vector or tracing it or "melting" otherwise a derivative work off the coast of photography is a violation of the copyright of the creator. I have no intend to do any of those things. I am also aware that I can go online and license images that might meet my criteria. However, my intention is to avoid the right to author and licensing complications while creating the images myself and own copyright outright.

(2) I am brand new in the world of art and graphic design. My personal development of this skill will be used for my own personal projects. Then, if it is inappropriate to post a question like this in this forum Illustrator, please kindly direct me to a more appropriate place. I started here because it seemed the location with the highest probability to give rise to a professional answer.

Thank you.

This page has many different styles of illustration. The more I see are silhouettes, as well as comic strips and cartoons, and there everything pop, retro pictogram. There are many courses in the illustration, that you will find at the Art Institutes or any college with a degree in design.

  • Form - enter the names of the State/province drop-down list

    Hello again,

    I use Acrobat Pro DC using a MC Pro and I want to create a list drop-down States and provinces on my form. After clicking Properties and then Options, is there a way to enter all state names at the same time instead of adding one by one? I know there are scripts out there, but I thought that I could create the list that I needed from the List of States - 50 AMERICAN States - Canadian Provinces - Australian States - Mexican States - Brazilian - States ListStates.co... and copy and paste them.

    I read on the drop-down lists, but I don't see that he offered to DC Pro. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

    Thank you.

    Yes, it's possible, but it takes using a script.

    The basic format of this script is:

    this.getField("DropDownName").setItems (["Alaska", "Alabama",...]);

    If you have the items in a text file or a spreadsheet and want to import at the same time you can use a tool like this, I developed, which can be purchased here: Scripts custom Adobe: Acrobat - items import from a text file to a combo box or a list box

    When I opened the window "save the Page under", the drop-down box file name indicates the files that have been saved a long time ago. It is not cleared by a function 'clear history' that I can find. How can I erase this?

    Hello.

    I think this is a related issue of Windows, because it is the Manager to save the windows file that we are talking about here (right?). You should contact Microsoft for help with this one, I think. You expect to be able to delete entries simply by touching delete on your keyboard when they are concentrated (that is how it goes for the removal of the form entries specific autocomplete in Firefox), but I have not tried.

    I'm sorry I can't be more helpful.

  • Prevent the specific Web site to store the user name in the drop-down list

    I have a site that I connect to frequently. Their home page has a login field. If I double-click on this area, it shows me several login names to automatically fill the area with. I want to prevent Firefox (or other) to remember those login names, for safety because of my personal paranoia.

    I'm using Firefox 49.0.2.

    • I added this site to my list of blocking Cookies. New Cookies are not displayed to the top, when I connect.
    • I do NOT have the connections stored for this site (they were removed and new not appear when I enter a name).
    • Firefox does NOT show me the dialog box "do you want to remember?
    • I removed each stored in AutoComplete list in this field by using the 'shift + Delete' keys to select and delete the headings that appear when I double click on the field.
    • The list that appears when I double click is NOT specific to this site... or rather, the entries in the list seem to come from almost any site that I connected. For example, I have deleted all entries in this site, I worry; I have then is come to Mozilla's Support forum and tried connecting; I had to try several times; all of these names that I used on the login field Mozilla now appear in the list for the original site.
    • Curiously... If I hit 'back' after typing my name (causing the site to go to the next page), the name that I typed in the field seems NOT to remember. However, if I click on the button "login" next to the field after you type a user name, the name seems to remember.
    • Even if I disable 'Remember connections... ". "in Firefox, UN I enter this field to remember.

    A screenshot is provided the field of seizure and the drop-down list of names (which I deleted several times).

    I turn off history form of Firefox, so I don't know if this is specific to the site (such as the saved connections) or could possible appear on all sites with a named field in a similar way, which seems a little odd.

    If you clear history of Firefox form feature, is the unwanted suggestion stop appearing? You can do this on the preferences page, Privacy panel:

    "3-bar" menu button (or Firefox) > Preferences

    In the left column, click on privacy. On the right side, if you do not see "conservation rules: use the custom settings for history" go ahead and make that choice.

    Then you can uncheck the box ' Remember search and form history.

    When you return to the site and reload the page, the suggestions disappear?

    Hello experts,

    I use Adobe Forms in SAP.

    My question is, is there a any restriction for additem keyword in JavaScript?

    I mean, even if I use the keyword additem to add the name and value of a drop-down list, it adds up to 10000 files only.

    Please sugest

    A drop-down list is the bad INTERFACE design where an element can contain more than 100 entries. It is very good in tests, but absolutely unacceptable if the form must be used by a person busy doing their work. The choice of Acrobat forms are limited, but consider a list box. Despite this, there may be limits imposed by the system or the implementation.

    Better would be

    (a) stop filling after awhile the list and add an entry saying several elements not shown, running report or use better filter

    (b) be available for all filtering of course lists

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600 appears twice in the selection of drop down menu printer with each of the different names.

    Hello!

    I recently acquired an Officejet Pro 8600 and immediately connected to my network wireless as stated in the manual. No other type of connection has been used beforehand and the operating system is Windows 7 64 bit.

    After that the installation of the printer driver appears twice each time that a program asks me to select a printer from the drop of the printing devices in the typical menu of preparation of printing.

    There is an entry for "Officejet Pro 8600 (network)" and something in the sense of 'HP95CDN' (Officejet Pro 8600). I can't remember the exact names off the top of my head, but it is the name of the printer with the 'network' in brackets in one case and a kind of shortcut ID printer with full name in parentheses in the other case.

    According to the program, one of the options gives the desired impression while the other simply causes a queue of indelible impression for the name of the unit in question that is stuck to a few KB of data transmission.

    Usually printing works with the device with the identification of the printer in its name, but I recently had a case where with LibreOffice printing only works with the other choice.

    Can someone explain to me exactly means?

    See you soon,.

    Pete

    Direct entry Wireless will be visible under menu so direct wireless is on... However, since you are able to print another icon (not the network icon) I assume direct wireless is off coz you will not be able to print from wireless directly on the printer if you are connected to the router.

    I believe that the icon of the printer (not the network icon) has a port WSD assigned and is automatically detected by the operating system and installed.

    Go to service window and check if you have any input that says function Discovery Provider Host and see if it is started. Try to stop the service, and remove the icon of the printer (not the network icon) in the print server properties.

    Restart the PC and check if the icon comes back or try to uninstall and reinstall

  • Return all column names of the cells that match a value in a single cell

    I want to be able to scan all the cells in column 1 in column 3 (there could be several) which belong to the same line and check if they all have a value y (X). If they have no value, I want all columns to display all the names of the matching columns as follows: "column 1, column 2" for Elemento.

    This can be a good start:

    B2 = if (counta (C2) > 0, C$ 1, "" ") & IF (COUNTA (D2) > 0', ' & D$ 1," ") & IF (COUNTA (E2) > 0', ' & E$ 1," "") & IF (COUNTA (F2) > 0', '& F$ 1,' ')

    It's shorthand dethrone select cell C2, then type (or copy and paste it here) the formula:

    = IF (counta (C2) > 0, C$ 1, "" ") & IF (COUNTA (D2) > 0', ' & D$ 1," ") & IF (COUNTA (E2) > 0', ' & E$ 1," "") & IF (COUNTA (F2) > 0', '& F$ 1,' ')

    Select cell B2, copy

    Select the cells B2 the bottom of column D, dough

    To add additional columns, you copy the atomic unit:

    & IF (COUNTA (D2) > 0', '& D$ 1,' ')

    and update D2 with the new column and D$ 1 with the new column.

    then... If you add a new column (G, for example) that you want to change it:

    and IF (COUNTA (D2) > 0', '&D$1,' ')

    TO

    and IF (COUNTA (G2) > 0', "&G$1," ")

    and the updated formula would be:

    = IF (counta (C2) > 0, C$ 1, "" ") & IF (COUNTA (D2) > 0', ' & D$ 1," ") & IF (COUNTA (E2) > 0', ' & E$ 1," "") & IF (COUNTA (F2) > 0', ' & F$ 1,"") & IF (COUNTA (G2) > 0', '& G$ 1,' ')

    fill down like before

  • In Firefox 39.0, I have a missing folder to store Twitter design parameters (background theme). What is the name of the missing file?

    Firefox 39.0 must store parameters for design background Twitter. This unknown file should be here in the help of Firefox, troubleshooting information, profile folder. This who should I name a new folder to save the twitter background design choices?

    Sorry, I don't know exactly what you are doing.

    If it's an arrangement on Twitter, the site probably will set a cookie and could use the storage offline (but will most likely just use a slightly different page and do not store images locally).

    If you plan to replace the background normal Twitter with something different to your own choice, were you plan to use a custom style rule or an add-on of a certain type? The technique has probably determines the location.

  • When I open the bookmarks, the area to the right of the name of the file is really, really wide. This can be reduced?

    After you install Firefox 5, the window drop-down bookmarks menu has changed. Firstly, the area to the right of the name of the file is extremely large. Second, when you click on a file, including the bookmark links, list screen bookmarks covers the names of files, making it impossible to simply scroll to the list of file name.

    Firefox 4 and later versions will automatically adjust the width to the length of the longest name.

    You can scroll all bookmarks in the list and shorten the names to reduce the total width.

  • Impossible to change the name of the Table in figures

    I'm unable to change the title of a table, when I change the title name and press on enter it reverts to the original title. I tried to click away and save the document, but both go back to the original title. The only way to work is, it seems if the option a table a few times then start trying a new title.

    This can happen when you have a table with the same name on the same sheet.  Numbers of refuses to accept the name "double".  Check the names of the tables on the al sheet again.  One way to do that is to click the right part of the tab "" at the top with the sheet and inspect the table names in the drop-down menu that appears.

  • Is there a way to remove the ToolTip that contains the name of the application when the cursor over the icon in the dock?

    Since the upgrade to El Capitan, I noticed that the name of each application in the dock appears above the docking station in a bubble of large text when the cursor is everywhere down in the dock next to this icon of the application.  It's annoying because if I'm often pass between two or several applications, I don't want to have to keep moving the slider to the top of the screen to get the text balloons to disappear.  When the application names are present, they cover part of the screen of the app that I work.  Not sure if I remember correctly, but I thought that those who went after a period of time in older versions of OS.  I was never bothered by it as I am with El Capitan.

    Thank you all.

    Not that I am aware, no.  There is nothing in the system preferences-> Dock that allows you to disable or remove this function.

  • Error-1074118631 after driver update "the name of the resource is not attributed...". "PXI-6562

    I just updated my version 1.5.3 to 1.7.4 niHSDIO driver and now the device, a PXI-6562 is won't boot. I get the following error. The VI is suspended for 30 ~ 60 s attempt to initialize before the error occurs.

    Code: - 1074118631

    Message: niHSDIO Init generation Session.vithe name of the resource is not assigned to an instrument supported by NOR-HSDIO.

    The device worked fine with the old driver.

    Windows Device Manager indicates that everything is installed and working.

    I tried to write a simple VI by using new versions of the screw HSDIO and recreating the I/O resource menu drop-down.

    The resources dropdown lists the name as "PXI1Slot2".

    I can see the device in MAX thanks its location listed as "chassis: 1; Slot: 2 "

    The PXI-6562 has 2 LEDs on the front panel for 'access', 'active'. No lights during an attempt to initialize.

    I tried uninstalling the driver in Windows, reinstalling and restarting: same problem.

    I tried to use the device in Signal Express, and it produces the same error.

    I use LabVIEW version 8.5 and Signal Express 2.5.

    Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Thank you

    Arthur

    Hey Arthur,.

    You should also do a repair on the NOR-DAQmx driver for example, after you have repaired HSDIO. Let us know how it goes. Thank you.

  • Name of the provider in the Notification bar / status

    Hello Moto,

    I just wanted to ask that how can I view my carrier name in the Notification bar / status? (No I'm not talking about carrier name in the Lockscreen). I already checked that option 'show the Mobile network', but still it displays the name of the carrier in the notification as in Moto X (1st Gen) 5.1 Lollipop bar. Any help?

    Version: Android 5.0.2 Lollipop

    You can't do it. Google removed because they considered it is redundant and most of people (don't know why) were offended by this. But often the notification icons would be stripped because of the name in the corner.

    If you pull down the shade (notification bar) with two fingers, you will see the name of the carrier.
