New on Illustrator - Help!

Hi all

I hope someone can help me with this, it makes me crazy!

I'm new to Illustrator, been fiddling about for a couple of weeks, and now I'm working on a piece of Celtic interlace.

I wrote the plan of the route in its entirety (no fill line, black), as shown here: http://tinypic.com/r/291c194/6

The final effect I'm looking for is something like this: http://tinypic.com/r/do8eif/6

As you can see, I have more or less managed to add links on the edges, but can't with the curves. I'm sure there is a way to achieve much more precisely, but I don't know what tool/effect I'm looking for.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

For my part, you are welcome show.

I use the scissors tool to divide and organize a couple of paths, but it seems to leave a kind of 'halo' around the split lines... is - something I am doing wrong, or there at - it a way to avoid/get around this issue?

It looks more like a gap for me, or should I say a Cap gap?

You can cheat and:

(1) select all the paths,

(2) modify the cap of the stock to round cap (the CAP not projecting) in the stroke palette/Panel.

  • New on Adobe Illustrator-HELP

    I'm looking for general comments on this software. I work for a travel agency in Louisiana and escort us hundreds of trips around the world throughout the year. We are trying to get the specific travel cards we promote on this trip routes. We found a route to another company who had a card on it, exactly as we wanted. So that the travel company referred us to a graphic designer, who said at that time, he used the creative suites Adobe with photoshop and illustrator. I looked inside and it seems that maybe what it takes. The only problem is we are a very small company and can't afford a graphic designer and have absolutely no experience with something like this.  I'm trying to figure out if it's worth the $ expenditures on this software so you have to be an expert in graphic design at work, he. When I say no experience, I mean as we know how to turn on a computer, how to work in Microsoft word/excel/power point and basic applications. Someone at - it recommendations on what we can use would not be so advanced? Or maybe an another adobe which would be a little easier?

    function() {return A.apply (null, [this] .concat ($A (arguments)))}

    I'm trying to figure out if it's worth the $ expenditures on this software so you have to be an expert in graphic design at work, he.

    If you're not an illustrator/designer and you have no Illustrator/designer on staff, you are barking completely the wrong tree. In fact, even if you were or had, I would say again that you think wrongly. Given your line of work, I would not even consider it appropriate for outsourcing. You really want to bear the cost and the delay inherent in making a chart of the card for each travel offer (and no doubt dozens of customer-specific changes)?

    As a travel agency, you should think in terms of competitiveness, fretting not on ways to allow the generation of a bunch of specific purpose cards. Forget trying to become an Illustrator from one day to the next. Yours is a need of company internal critics. Being able to produce maps of itenerary on an on-the-fly, based on the needs should not be something that you consider same creating a continuous relative dependence to a graphic outsource.

    You mentioned "of hundreds of cards." You are talking not just about graphics, you're talking about data. Illustrator is just an archaic general purpose page-design and construction manual program. It is a very inefficient tool for graphical data-dependent.

    Use something appropriate. Go download the demo version of Microsoft Point Map, read the documentation and some basic tutorials. It costs about $300. You undoubtedly find valuable for your business way more than to simply an illustration of route map (which it can do). Your learning time will be invested a lot better here than in a silent drawing program. Point card is a graphical program dedicated specifically to the cards. Therefore, it is designed to interact with data in a spreadsheet or a database.

    As for the latter, if your office is not competent enough already with a program database working group, I would highly recommend your also take a look at FileMaker Pro. In any business, you need a database application. FMP is immensely more affordable than the heavy and tedious Microsoft Access and more versatile and powerful, to start. For one example, which directly relates to your need:

    FileMaker Pro includes a feature called a 'Web Viewer' object, which is essentially a graphic field which is used to a live web browser window. One of the files of demo which comes with the FMP is a typical contact database that contains a WebViewer. WebViewer is defined on GoogleMaps. You look through the records in the contact database, the WebViewer updates automatically to show the Google map of the recipient.

    One morning recently, I was faced with a need to generate a list of the distances from a particluar address in different places about a thousand. Using this feature of basic (with a different web site) I built such a FMP solution and had the list well before the end of the day.

    A working knowledge comfortable to use the Point and FileMaker Pro card at the same time would give you a serious competitive advantage over the other company if, in fact, that other company is dependent on an Illustrator help to acutally outsource for all his itenerary cards. And I'm talking about Office/trades here, not an entire career graphic learning curves.

  • New to Illustrator CS5 - saving it to pdf fuction

    Hi all

    I'm new to Illustrator and have the CS5 version, a friend asked me to change an Illustrator someone has done for them. So far no problem, I did the updates I had to do (pretty easy), but the problem comes when saving the file in pdf format... the file is a 2 page brochure in illustrator, there are 2 plans to work side by side (1 for each page), but whenever I save this in pdf format the pdf repeat page 2 and shows it as if it was a cover page in the pdf file. So basically I end up with a pdf file showing the page 2 of the booklet and then showing page 1 and 2 together when really all I want to see is page 1 and 2 together, I don't know why it's showing page 2 again in the pdf file... I tried to look on the net for info and it may have to do with print tiling but I do not know... When I look at the open illustrator file I have 2 pages in front of me (1 in each work plan) as an open book, the strange thing is that if I click on page 1 (left), he shows me a number 1 at the bottom of page 1 and a number 2 at the bottom of page 2, that sounds right. But when I click on page 2 (right), it shows me a number 1 at the bottom of page 2, which seems to be the reason why this page is repeated at the beginning of the pdf file but I don't know how to cancel it. The goal is to get a pdf file that show me page 1 and 2 without repeating essentially, I need to see the same what I see watching the illustrator file... can anyone help?

    Thank you in advance!

    There could be three work plans. Look in Control Panel work plans. Work plans may overlap, and it is possible that this page 2 of the brochure exactly overlaps another plan of work. If so, delete a. You can also save to PDF and enter custom page range, like 2, 3.

  • I create a logo for a company, but I'm new to illustrator and don't know what type of file to give them for their personal use if themselves don't have Illustrator to work with

    So I designed a logo for a company, they want to buy too! I don't know what type of file to send to them for their personal use. I am new to illustrator, so I'm not sure whether it should be a .png, .pdf or .svg. They don't have access to Illustrator, so they would not be able to view the native .ai file, how can I send the file?

    Whenever I have provide a customer with a logo, my first question that would be what they are they who need for?

    And when you have the response from them, it will give you a good idea of what to provide.

    Second to that I will always create a logo set to compile something like the following:

    1. Original .ai logo - RGB/CMYK/Black/White versions
    2. A set of PNG with transparent backgrounds of different sizes (something like 100px, 250px, 500px, 1000px wide)
    3. A set of .jpg in various sizes (something like 100px, 250px, 500px, 1000px wide)
    4. And now a .svg and .pdf file

    Once again it all depends on what the customer wants it, but once you have furnished with everything that they are able to use it for the most part.

    Good luck

  • Hello :) I'm new to illustrator, I am trying to create a picture of coverage of facebook, when I save it in JPEG OR PNG format, it is show a white background behind my project, how can I remove it?

    Hello I'm new to illustrator, I'm trying to create a picture of coverage of facebook, when I save it in JPEG OR PNG format, it is show a white background behind my project, how can I remove it? Thank you Erin

    Erin,

    With PNG (preferably PNG24), you can check transparency and get rid of the background.

    The clear format of artwork no photo would be PNG24. It is important to create the exact size that it should be used, or it will be blurred. You can create it at this size, using points/pixel as the unit and save for Web. You can check the size of the window the size of the Image where you can also check Art Optimized.

    I fear, however, you may be out of luck: maybe the format will be changed to JPEG, and size will also change by Facebook software.
