Illustrator CMYK test / help. May 16, 08, 9:25 a.m.

Hello Folks, just wondering whether any one could do a test for me in regards to Illustrator CS3?

If I create a new document, in CMYK and the start to draw shapes,for example black on red, I get a weird jagged shape around the edge, sort of like a bitmap. It looks like this (zoomed in):

However if i then change the set the Document Colour Mode to RGB it disappears.
If it then switch back to CMYK it doesn't not return, until I start a new document...

Is it possible for any one to test whether this happens on their CS3?

Or Do i have some weird setting turned on?

Any help would be much appreciated...

thanks

Sliding content in and out Feb 14, 08, 6:53 a.m.

Hello folks,

Just wondering whether any one knows whether there are an tutorials on how to achieve a sliding effect similar to the one used on the macbook air page when you click the photos under the mac?

http://www.apple.com/macbookair/…

I have tried to look at the source to see but it's a bit like gibberish to me.

illustrator brush? Jan 10, 08, 7:48 a.m.

Hello folks,

Does anyone know whether it is possible to make the brush in Illustrator behave like a normal brush/pen...

Currently when i draw close to a line i have created it alters or deletes the first.

Anyone know if you can stop it doing that? (so stuff like cross hatching etc.. can be done)

Any help would be much appreciated.

site layout crit Dec 4, 07, 12:02 p.m.

Hello Folks, just redesigning our website and wondered what opinions are...

• The big image would be one of 6 case studies shown on random.

• In Brief would be a little blog like bit with favourite new album, nice links etc, something to get folk to come back to the website which everyone in soup would contributes too.

•Latest work is latest work.

•From the archives would just be images of our work, though not necessarily from the case studies.

Any help would be much appreciated.

A jolly good downloadable PDF on self promotion for illustrators, though it equally suits other areas of design.

Poster layout opinions Oct 10, 07, 9:13 a.m.

Hello Folks,

I am currently designing a self promo poster to send out to prospective clients, Which will have one side as a large image and the other as a portfolio, i.e images and maybe a line or two about the idea behinds the image.

My question is, as a designer would you rather see the folio side as:

1. a one side layed out as one a bit like a magazine layout or

2. a folded affair which acted like a book with the foled pages making up a sort of book.

hmmmm.... hope that makes some sense?

site crit Jul 3, 07, 4:51 a.m.

Hello Folks, it's that time of the year where i want to redesign my site, however the last couple i have just tweaked how it works.

current site: http://www.mybrokenshoe.com

i don't think it is particularly interesting, but it does show the work nicely...

I would love to do something really clever and interactive and more personal but i don't think art directors have much patience with that type.

as a result this is one of the ideas i am thinking of replacing it with (similar navigation to the existing version just a touch more friendly:

any opinions would be much appreciated, i am stuck...

cheers
