Using Illustrator for accurate drawings

Hi guys,.

If anyone has any advice for the questions that I have below it would be greatly appreciated. I know that all of the methods of work are different, but I'm having a hard time getting these answered despite the amount of redundant to information on Adobe products

(1) when I see professional logos or type forms (I mean companies) and especially the curves are perfect. Is it possible to do that? It's pixel perfect. This reminds me of design with the old methods of the circle and french curves.

(2) is it possible to get assistance with diagnol lines (so points on the same angle), curve precision from one point to another diagonly? I know that you can use the grid and then use move the handles by a amount of pixel, but making one side of the

object is thick like another part?

(3) I think typography is a great example and I have provided a below. Even after that sure that I know all the tricks to anchor manages, ect it's almost impossible to get a same curve width or serif.

The image below shows a letter h and higher wheel base has been cut and illustrated by points.

Thank you very much for the tips, pointers, or how work the other industry insiders!

Illustrator is not a pixel based drawing software.  It is a vector path based on drawing software.  You should get to know the differences.  It is possible to make extremely accurately.  But, you must master the drawing tools and your ability to manipulate paths and anchor points.  I recommend that you give up your mouse for a tablet.  I would like to answer each of your questions:

1. Yes.  Most of the text is policy based and then converted to outlines later in the production chain.  Curves are drawn more big and then reduced in size further down the production chain, like the old days.

2. get used to order > operation M (travel) and duplication.  If you want a certain angle, use the tool rotation and entered the amount of degrees of your rotation in the rotation dialog box.  Like many other things in Illustrator, there are several ways of doing things.  You will learn more you use.

3. the sample that you show has consistency very little because it is a script font.  But, if you draw a letter in his hand, you can use simple ovals and squares to help you maintain consistency.  For example, if your letter article is 1/16 "thick, create a rectangle 1/16" square and use it as a guide.  There are a lot of simple tools that you can use to help you.

Do not forget this.  A good hand drawn text element can take hours, or even days to complete.  The software is not a solution where automated you a magic wand on the screen and the wha - la,'s done it.  Very rarely designers do not have to resort to hand-drawn text elements.  There are fonts than ever before.  In some cases, you can use a font for a quick start and then change some letters for everything that calls for your project.

  • Use Illustrator for several page document?

    I'm usually the FrameMaker and, to some extent, areas of InDesign, but a potential client asked me to work on a document for them.

    They are doing a reference guide fast (I guess a single sheet folded into six panels, or multiple sheets folded and stapled into a booklet) and plan to do in Illustrator.

    I've done these before in InDesign, but wanted to know if there is some capacity in Illustrator to make the document there, for one of the above formats.

    Any guidance would be appreciated. Thank you!

    Stairs:

    Yes!

    To do this, you use the functionality of the artboard in Illustrator. When you create a new document, specify the number of workplans (aka pages) you need and the amount of space between, etc. Once you have your document updated in place, to zoom out and see all the work plans outlined in the grid you specified. If you don't see it, make sure that "show the work plans" is checked in the view menu.

    You will not be able to create a master page, as you can in India, but you can stick to the same place on all work plans - I think that the command (mac) is command + shift + option + V. Cut you the original (command + x) item and then paste it in place on all pages.

    Interesting information:

    • If you open the palette of the artboard, you can name the work plans. When you export, say described SPE, you can choose 'use work plans' and you will get a separate eps file for each WITH THE NAME of the palette of the graphic board work plan, plus a file with all the plans of working together. Record in PDF format made a several page PDF as you would expect. You can choose out of a work plan.
    • Also, with the artboard open palette, you can double-click on a name of the artboard and Illustrator will pass to the artboard in format full screen. Very convenient when you have a lot of work plans.
    • You can change the layout of your work plans by clicking in the upper right of the palette of the artboard and choosing reorganize work plans (or something close to that). Make sure that everything is unlocked, otherwise they move with the new drink.
    • And finally, you can change the size of a work plan using the work plan of the tool palette tool or by double-clicking the artboard icon in the palette, which will bring up a dialog box...

    I'm a fan of InDesign, I feel your pain. One of my clients is a manufacturer of items sold at retail for which we design and prepare for the printing of many packages/donor cards, etc. Before the existence of the function of work plan, we had a separate Illy file for each SKU. He permits to be much more organized, and you don't get hit with seven gazillion files when you open a folder. (I tried to get them to convert into India, but really, it is not set up for this type of use, so I had to learn the ins and outs of the Illustrator and have come to appreciate for many things. Unfortunately, manipulation of type is not one of them, but it is designed to make designs, not the value type).

    Good luck and best regards - D

  • Should I use Illustrator or InDesign to write a book for kids photo?

    Should I use Illustrator or InDesign to write a book for kids photo?

    We often see a question like "THAT which program should I use / should I use/not pros use. But there is here a big assumption, and it is usually a false assumption. Pros use a mix of programs to do their job. A common mixture, but certainly not the only one, is

    -Word (sometimes) to get the text without photos or page layout

    -Photoshop, to manage the photos and scanned drawings

    -Illustrator, to create original works of art on the computer

    -InDesign to ask pages and put the text, photos, analyzed together art and original works of art. (The text can be performed InDesign if there is not a lot) To apply consistent styles so the thing seems professionally produced rather than a hodgepodge.

    Each of these programs would be used to save files in an organized and systematic way until you collect things. Copy/paste is very little used.

    They are tools professional and immensely rich in functionality; and dive you are likely to commit errors which lead you in the wrong results or who need to start the project. I highly recommend investing in a serious training only in those programs, but in the entire task of modern graphic design.

  • Hi, I would like to use one of your images on a product for the purpose of illustration, for example, it will be used to show where people can place their own image on a badge. Standard license would allow this?

  • How to calibrate the screens of Adobe products? For the most part, I'll use Illustrator and Photoshop.Can someone make a difference between the calibration and the Hardware calibration software using (Spider)? Thank you.

    How to calibrate the screens of Adobe products? I will mostly use Illustrator and Photoshop.Can make all the difference between calibration and the Hardware calibration software using (Spider)? Thank you.

    I use U2415 from Dell.

    I use the Spyder Pro 4. The process is quite simple - install the software, plug the Spyder and follow the steps listed in the program. I would recommend also, install the latest version of the software directly from the site of Datacolor instead to install from the disc supplied (probably outdated).

  • Creating illustrations for larger sizes, what software to use?

    Hello everyone,

    I'm an amateur, its my first discussion here.


    My work team will start a large project, we will build a space for visitors to an event. We will need several plots of illustrations for the walls, designs sizes like 6, 7 metres (width), with vectors and photos (jpeg, eps files). I have no experience with Illustrator, but theres no way to create more than 577.95 files. Before we begin, I want to hear your opinion on the best Adobe software to create these illustrations of great size.

    I second that.  Configure your Illustrator file to 25%.  Your Photoshop files will be 600ppi @ 25%; If their final ppi will be 150 to 100%; for large format digital printing.  Raster/document (illustrator) settings must be defined for high resolution or custom where pixelation effects will retain their appearance when scaled by 400%.  You might be able to prepare your files @ 50%; If so, simply adjust resolutions.

    I also did computer graphics that you won't find many in my wallet.

    For the animated graphics, you'll use Illustrator just to build the basic structure. The animation will be in AfterEffects, or with SVG tools, animate CC, JavaScript or other.

    It is possible to use InDesign to animate, but since this isn't its fundamental task, it could get very difficult for complex animations.
