oh.
I just noticed the missing gif image on the banner. you just want to place those words you have asked into that space.
I'll make it simple,
you have the orignal image?
open in illustrator, fireworks or photoshop. Erase the text and replace with your new text.
save as gif and upload image back to your images folder in your web host.

you can do that no problem.

Making the letter C in Illustrator

45651 — 2009-11-11T20:48:57+00:00

I want to make a logo with Illustrator by using my own font type. What I want to do is make the letter C. I want to make an unfinished circle of 270 degrees from a round dot with a certain stroke. This will result in a letter C with nice rounded edges. Is there an easy way to do that?

Adding data labels next to graph bars

45601 — 2009-11-05T01:27:07+00:00

Hi,

I am on a tight deadline for a client and so am looking for anybody who can help me asap.
I need to create 70 bar graphs as .eps, and have everything perfect, except that each bar requires the data label next to it. (Eg the X axis has percentages along it 0% 5% 15% 25% and I need the exact % written next to each bar.)

I can't find any option in illustrator or online that says I can perform this action - does anybody know?

I have included an image from MS Excel to prove exactly what I mean..

Thanks in advance!!

Making a Postmark on Illustrator

45379 — 2009-10-15T02:08:11+01:00

I'm trying to figure out a way to make my own postmark like this one:

My skill is minimal, but I would like to write "Rainy Day" around the top of circle in place of "Edinburgh" and "Post Cards" on two lines where the date and time info is. Is this extremely hard to do?

Any help would be great...

Thicker letters problem in pdf printout

45375 — 2009-10-14T21:44:54+01:00

I know some people experience thicker l's or i's if text is converted to outlines, but i didn't convert my text to outline and when it came back from the printers all the l's and i's are noticeably thicker. It's only a basic helvetica font as well, nothing fancy. Does anyone know how i can fix this? thanks

Re: helvetica

45336 — 2009-10-12T23:19:19+01:00

This was KILLING me as I am on a PC, and could see Helvetica in my font list in Word, but it wasn't showing up in any CS program. Additionally, it could not be found in the font folder in my system. Then I looked closer and realized that even in Word, when I use "Helvetica" it's not actually Helvetica showing up when I type. It looks like Arial, I would guess it just defaults to that under the assumption that normal people 1) wouldn't notice and 2) wouldn't care.

How to make a color separate Pantone logo?? HELP!

45329 — 2009-10-12T14:31:15+01:00

I currently have a VERY simply vector logo in illustrator CS3. The file contains 2 layers: 1 layer consists of 3 shapes that are one Pantone color (296) and the 2nd layer consists of 2 shapes that are another Pantone color (293). As of right now, my document is in CMYK mode, my swatches panel is empty except for the two Pantone color swatches which i chose from color libraries.

I need to send this logo (PDF, EPS, TIFF) to a printer for an envelope job, however, when i save it as it is as a PDF, they tell me they cannot print it in Pantone because when they go to print plates, 4 plates come out (CMYK) and not only 2 plates.

So, how do i save this or what do i do to make this file a TWO plate PDF file for Pantone printing? please help me ASAP as i have been on this problem since last week! ahhh!

Re: US Letter (borderless) Makes Print Fade

it sounds like a printer issue not an illustrator issue. bring the file to a pro printer and have them send a few runs thru.

44561 — 2009-08-13T22:18:07+01:00

Hello

I am looking to start up a legal advice website. Within the site I am looking to have legal lawyer buddies in the form of avatars. I need someone to design me a set of avatars for my site. Avatars have to look professional yet friendly. The colours have to be rich but tasteful. If you are interested please submit at least two images to me at ezeejiegbu@aol.co.uk. The competition will be open for 10 days. The winner will be announced on the 24th August. The winner of the competition will have the opportunity to make £150.00 ($250.00) for creating the set of avatars for my website. The winner will likely become the exclusive illustrator for the site later in the future. The winner will also get Gift vouchers of their choice. The same applies for 2nd and 3rd place entrants.

Good Luck

Eze

Illustrator

44496 — 2009-08-09T02:46:12+01:00

An illustrator is a graphic artist who specializes in enhancing writing by providing a visual representation that corresponds to the content of the associated text. The illustration may be intended to clarify complicated concepts or objects that are difficult to describe textually, or the illustration may be intended for entertainment, as in greeting cards, or cover art or interior art for books and magazines, or for advertisement, as on posters.

fill color doesn't update with path changes in live paint

44397 — 2009-07-31T22:24:09+01:00

hi,

i've been reading tutorials about live paint, everything works great except when i change a path with the direct selection tool, the fill color doesn't follow the path change. and according to what i have read it should automatically update. any idea what might be going on here?

it also seems like when i modify the path, it creates a copy instead of just altering the original path i'm trying to change.. so once i applied the change there's a copy of the old one still there??? for now i'm just deleting the old one, but it shouldn't being doing that right? something fishy's going on..

please help.

thanks in advance.

Illustrator CS4 Bleeds and PageControl functions

44150 — 2009-07-10T15:24:26+01:00

Hello guys,

I usually work with Indesign for flyer design etc... with Pagecontrol plugin. This plugin allow me to do spread design, when saving the PDF of 2 pages, the image is spread correct. It start and ends , on both pagess correct, no matter how big the Bleeds are.

Now I see that illustrator CS4 has Bleeds, Does any1 know how to do the correct image spread in Illustrator CS4 for exporting PDF's when you have turned bleeds on, and you have 2 artboards? , Because currently when I save arts, it doesnt start before the bleed on the second PDF file. It misses the part of the design where it goes on Bleed, sure it does make sense, but isnt a way do to Bleeds and still start where your art ended at the first PDF artboard ? It's realy hard to explain., and my english isnt that good .

If any1 would help me , I would really appreciate it. Thanks !

Greets,
CZ

Re: Please help me. Shaping problems

43893 — 2009-05-25T22:41:54+01:00

Thanks so much, that was exactly what i was looking for
The reason i didn't want to make the little circle (or whatever ) in a layer in front was because i am lazy and wanted to put an object in front of the circle and behind the rectangel without having to be exact enough to just putting it in the circle and drawing the other line by hand.

Hopefully you understood now and thanks again.

you don't really flatten in AI you group. I know, group means something different in PS but in AI it will group all the shapes and text together so you can resize them all at the same time. hold ctrl+a and then got to object>group. VIOLA
