The type in that old Budweiser logo is customized lettering.

If you're designing your layout for printed output (like on an inkjet printer, solvent-based billboard printer, etc.) be sure to keep your colors within the gamut range of CMYK. RGB has a wider gamut range than CMYK, meaning a lot of colors in RGB are far more brilliant than printer inks can...

Which color mode is your document based? Most filters will be available in RGB-based layouts. Various filters are greyed out if you are working in CMYK, L*a*b, greyscale, duotone or 16-bit per channel operation.

Megahertz by Bill Dawson, distributed by T-26 http://www.t26.com/fonts/display.php?f_id=115 4 weights for $49.

Sure. First, the downside to using 1280 X 1024 or lower resolution settings is you run out of workspace quickly with some applications. Toolbars, palettes and other user interface stuff require a fixed number of pixels to display. When you work at lower resolution workspaces like 1280 X 1024 or...

If you get a 19" monitor, get a CRT based unit. Nearly all 19" LCD flat panel monitors are limited to a 1280 X 1024 native resolution. That's a non starter for me. I completely refuse to use a 4:3 ratio monitor that displays anything less than 1600 X 1200 natively. In the LCD camp, you have to...

Flexi 8? Dang. We just spent a couple grand on software orders this morning (an Adobe Production Studio Premium license, a CorelDRAW X3 upgrade, a 300GB SATA-1 hard disc to add into a Dell system for scratch disc work). We have three Flexi 7.x licenses. Previous upgrades cost us around...

You might try trashing the AI prefs file and rebuilding the swatch. It seems like deleting the AI preferences file (and forcing Illustrator to automatically rebuild it) will fix some of the strange things that can happen in Illustrator from time to time.

You must be using some older computers in order to keep CASmate alive. We had to migrate to Flexi after the releases of Win98 SR2 and Win2000. CASmate 6.52 just wouldn't run on either worth a hoot.

Normally G-Code language should not have any problem making true curves, arcs, etc. One should make sure the DXF format file being brought into EnRoute is one of the polylines variety featuring true arcs. Some forms of DXF will simulate arcs by using lots and lots of short line segments. And...

If I really have to list a phone number on a sign I prefer doing so without parenthesis. Dots or dashes will do fine. People understand it. Most of the time phone numbers are totally useless items on signs. They consume valuable composition space on a sign face and are forgotten almost...

Open up Windows Explorer (quickest way is by right clicking on the Start button and choosing "Explore" on the menu). In Explorer, go the "Tools" menu, select "Folder Options." Choose the second tab "View". A little down the list of options, you'll see: "Hide extensions for known file types."...

In doing a quick Google on "california closets pdf" I found a couple samples which appeared to use Monotype Ellington Bold.

My guess is ITC Garamond Book Condensed. I think ITC is the only one offering natively condensed weights of Garamond (their roundy, happy version of Garamond).

FWIW, there have been some bugs with regard to Adobe's activation setup. Some legal, registered users have had their applications go dead without any reason, or drop activation after other devices or programs were installed. The problems have been spotty, but nonetheless a huge pain for those...

The bevel (or "chisel" or "prismatic") effects look okay... ...but they still have those awful divits where one stroke joins another. That's not a specific knock against Corel. There is absolutely no bevel effect in existence anywhere which creates the effect properly. None of Adobe's filters...

The demo version may not really impart how the licensing scheme works. Perhaps M!Snyder was wanting to know if Corel X3 adopts an activation scheme similar to Adobe. I'd like to know if X3 does that as well. AdobeCS2 applications limit you to an install maximum of two machines in your name...

First thing to do is check your COM port settings. The software may be trying to plot to a different COM port than the one connected to your plotter. I doubt if you'll need to go in and change any values on the ports (but it is a possibility). Normally I only have to jack around with COM port...

ITC Garamond. ITC's flavor of Garamond is a bit more roundy and "happy" looking than many of the other Garamonds. Surprisingly, just about every version of Garamond sold from one foundry to the next is different in subtle ways. Monotype Garamond (the version bundled in with WinXP) is pretty...

Here's why I prefer to apply a texture effect to a wide area first, and then punch the text out of it later: very often a texture plug-in will screw up along the edges of items like type floating on a transparant layer. Some of Photoshop's own built in plug-in can exhibit that problem. If you...
