  1. Fonts

    That video has been out for awhile. I like it that the video has Helvetica as the cool person and Arial is envious. Futura is also pretty cool too. I do like the causal mention of Proxima Nova.
  2. Anyone know Warrior River Font?

    The font is ugly as hell, whatever it is.
  3. Font Help

    It looks like a knock-off of Bodega Sans that has been artificially stretched.
  4. Are there good Illustrator tutorials for beginners

    Old Creative Suite era versions of Adobe Illustrator have serious limitations compared to the current Creative Cloud version. It has been nearly 12 years since the last CS version (CS6) was released. Quite a few features have been added to Illustrator since then. Much of the corporate world has...
  5. Are there good Illustrator tutorials for beginners

    Adobe has lots of tutorials built into Creative Cloud. There is a tutorials button in the Creative Cloud desktop app that points to tutorials for all apps online. You have to be signed into your CC account to access them though. The Illustrator page has a bunch of different tutorials. Many of...
  6. Export from Flexi with live fonts?

    I would not recommend exporting EPS or AI files from Flexi with live fonts intact. Like GaSouthpaw said, you'll probably see at least some (or a lot of) kerning or tracking errors. That might force you to re-build the text objects in Illustrator if the fonts are usable in Illustrator. We have...
  7. the future of graphic design

    I can't stand Canva. It's a new source of trouble on top of all the other usual factors that make for bad customer provided art files. The app is marketed with the implied pitch that it doesn't require any talent or technical know-how to do graphic design work. Just hop in our app and we'll hold...
  8. Logo Design

    No. Honestly, it's a bunch of crap. Even when trying to write text prompts to deliver abstract kinds of imagery. I played with the so-called "AI" things for awhile and got fed up pretty quickly by the garbage I was seeing. Click a button. Wait a bit and get 3 results. Don't like what you see...
  9. Logo Design

    Illustrator's Text to Vector function is, at best, good for only brain storming purposes. None of the results are production quality. One issue is all the results are essentially auto-traced into vector format. It's just like running the Live Trace function on a photo. Next problem: the imagery...
  10. Corel: Embed Spot Colors in Bitmap for PDF ????

    In CorelDRAW it's possible to take a grayscale pixel-based image and apply Pantone spot colors to it by going to the Bitmaps menu>Mode>Duotone. In that dialog box one can choose Monotone, Duotone, Tritone or Quadtone and use Pantone spot colors for the colors. Tone curves can be edited too.
  11. Who prints white

    We first started printing white when we bought our flatbed printer. Then we bought one of these newer HP latex printers that can do the white thing. Eh, it's an adjustment. There is both good and bad that comes with the territory.
  12. Font ID

    It looks like Gladiola from Melvastype. https://www.myfonts.com/collections/gladiola-font-mika-melvas
  13. _

    We're staying really busy. 2023 was great for us in terms of business. 2023 sucked @$$ in other regards. Had serious property damage via a hail storm from hell last June (still dealing with issues regarding it). There have been other curve balls. I am concerned about a possible economic...
  14. Font ID Request

    Yeah, the four different Edu typefaces are Google Fonts are very close. I waded into the cesspool known as Canva to do some searching there. I suspected the customer's art was put together using Canva. The "Don't Just Dwell" letters are set in Canva Student Font. Still can't figure out the...
  15. Font ID Request

    I'm having trouble finding matches for the two fonts used in the attached sample image. It's something I cut and pasted from some customer provided artwork. Sorry for the low resolution. Thanks in advance for help.
  16. CBRE New Branding - What is this font!?!

    Lapidary 333 Regular looks close.
  17. Happy New Year!

    I'm happy to see 2023 f***-off into the rear view. Such a crappy year. A lot of my grief about it centers around June 15 when Mother Nature just shell-bombed the absolute living f*** out of my town with hail. For bonus points we had a destructive tornado touch down east of town. I'm still...
  18. Design with the Actual size of an object

    Maximum page size in CorelDRAW is 1800" X 1800" although the zooming to fit the page in the view will start getting wonky at page sizes around 1000". If I have a something like a building elevation that's any longer than about 80' I'll start working in scale, such as 50%, 25% or 10% of actual...
  19. Font of The year

    Yeah, the "G" in Montserrat is a bit odd. It has an alternate "G" glyph, but it doesn't restore that horizontal stem at the top of the spur like one might expect. Many people use Montserrat as a low cost substitute for Gotham even though it is not nearly as "neutral" looking as Gotham. The...
