Can anyone tell me what font is being used in DWR main nav? My guess was Trade Gothic but I don't think that's it. Any clues?

I understand rips are unfortunate but happen but when they are in the same industry, shame.

Pittsburgh For A Day Jul 9, 08, 10:47 a.m.

So... on our way back from Toronto we're stopping in Pittsburgh for a day/night thing. Our main purpose for stopping is to go to a hungarian restaurant at night (reservations already made... supposedly a highly recommended experience) but I was wondering if there is anything cool to do downtown? Any cool shopping areas... we prefer the unusual... artsy districts... unique one-of-a-kind shops... etc... anything like that there?

Vacationing in Canada Feb 15, 08, 3:09 p.m.

So... planning a trip to Canada... eh...

Need some ideas. Looking to be close to a major city, yet also close to some outdoor-ish stuff. It's a quasi family trip and they like to shop and hike.

Any thoughts before I do a more thorough search?

Mediatemple sucks... Mar 9, 09, 11:44 a.m.

Where to Stay in Toronto. Jul 10, 08, 7:32 a.m.

So... wife is picking out the hotel and I'm worried because she's basing it on price. I don't want to get stuck in ghetto Toronto if I can help it. Anyone have any thoughts on nice hotels in downtown Toronto (or near interesting parts of town... like shopping)?

All help appreciated.

Looking for freelancers in NY with a strong print background... possibly with *some* background with magazines.

Any suggestions?

CS5 Font Issues Oct 18, 10, 12:43 p.m.

Noticing when I open CS4 photoshop files in CS5 that the kerning is all out of whack. There is definitely inconsistent spacing between letters. For example... I have some buttons that have 11pt Arial with 20px gutters on each side. In CS5, the text increases in width.

Anyone else have issues like this? Any way to resolve?

Brand/identity/logo freelancers Aug 10, 09, 10:08 a.m.

Looking for some leads to freelancers focused on branding/logo development. Love to see who's out there. Links to everyones favorites... love to see portfolios.

I need some minor idea generation/sketching...

FF Milo Feb 19, 08, 10:56 a.m.

I'm looking to purchase specific weights of the FF Milo on Font Shop and they have different versions... OT which I'm assuming is Open Type and then they have FF Milo Rg, LF & TF. What are these? My first guess was TF=True Type? What is LF?

I'm guessing this is going to be fairly obvious and I'll look like a font moron but better to ask and learn.

Font Thoughts Apr 11, 08, 8:33 a.m.

Really love Galaxie Polaris ( http://www.vllg.com/Village/Gala… )... I seem to use it way too much though... wondering if there are any typefaces that are similar yet different?

Any suggestions?

ISO: Digital Camera Jul 27, 11, 12:34 p.m.

Getting back into photography... wanted to get opinions on digital cameras. Price is flexible... though probably nothing over $2-3k. Looking for something that takes good action shots, shoots video well, and does well in low light.

Size doesn't matter... though its gotta feel good in my hands. ;)

Or... direct me to some good threads... I couldn't find anything very current.

Illustrator Help Jun 24, 08, 8:15 a.m.

So... I have a file that contains a lot of little pieces. I want to scale all of these pieces but I want all those pieces to keep their center points. Typically when you scale a group, they scale from one center point. Is there a way to scale so all the pieces scale from their individual center points?

laptops Nov 27, 09, 8:09 a.m.

antiglare or gloss screen? I currently have anti-glare on my 17" but was wondering if there are any pros to getting gloss.

anyone know when apple plans on new laptops? Isn't there a site out there that gives estimated turnaround for apple products?

Photoshop Question Jun 26, 08, 8:28 p.m.

In Photoshop when you duplicate layers or folders, the duplicates get appended with "Copy" (or "Copy 2, Copy 3, etc... depending on how many times you copy that layer or folder).

We're kinda anal when it comes to cleaning PSDs to send to clients and those "copy" appends are so annoying. Is there a way to set up Photoshop so it doesn't append the "copy" tags?

Audio Advice Jan 8, 10, 6:01 p.m.

I've got a pair of monsoon speakers + Amp (

Yeah, I know... stupid.

Anyway, I'm looking to upgrade to a better system. Problem is I'm not an audiophile. I want to purchase something that:

1. sounds great (duh)
2. I can play my music on my computer
3. something that sounds great for movies (when I watch something while I work)
4. I'd like to hang/attach to my ceiling so something that is designed for that purpose.

I've read good things about http://www.monitoraudiousa.com and http://www.audioengineusa.com ... but I'm just a little gunshy.. especially since I can't test drive them.

I'm kinda splurging so, at this point, all suggestions are welcomed.

I'm not saying its a rip... Jan 26, 09, 10:27 a.m.

but these do have a lot in common.
