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

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

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.

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

layout crit Oct 29, 06, 8:48 a.m.

Hello Folks, just tweaking the portfolio section of my website and am looking for some feed back.

I have made the images bigger to show the work better but had to lose the thumbnails which would now be located on a seperate page for quick access.

It would now use a click through system. The first page you see would be the 'homepage' straight into the portfolio.

Click the image to see the next page, including the thumbnails.
(they are only layouts no other link works)

what do you think?

Moniter display trouble Oct 25, 06, 11:45 a.m.

Hello Folks

I am having some trouble with my new display, a hp 19" moniter and my g4 tower mac.

When i turn them on the moniter displays the apple and spinning thing below then about 15 seconds later the resolution changes and the moniter tells me it cannot accept the input. (even though it just did)

The moniter i used before had a higher refresh rate and so i am guessing this is causing trouble. however that moniter is broken and doesn't turn on so i can not go into the preferences and change it.

Any ideas how i can sort this out?

any help would be much appreciated.

thanks
