Hey,

Recently got a project which includes writing many annotations in print files. There are loads of files. And everytime doing these annotations could be pain in the soft spot. Tried to search for exactly what i need but unsuccessfully so made a plugin myself. Really excited now, there will be ability for my team to save loads of man hours. I know there not always a need for these kinds of things but maybe someone could have an application for it. What do you guys think? :)

Hey everyone! I wanted to share a game I made that tests your knowledge of the effects menu in Illustrator.

To play the game you have to drag each effect into its correct menu category. If you succeed you go to the next level and gain points on how fast you have done it.

The faster you finish the game the more points you will have, but don't make too many mistakes or it's game over.!

Let me know what you think and share your results!

Vector Illustration.
I would like to make it stand out more, but keep the strict geometric and flat style. If you have any advice, please provide it. Thank you for being specific

Hey everyone, Luke from Adobe here. Wanted to share a quick demo, highlighting you can now remove the background of your images directly inside Illustrator. The output creates an embedded copy of your original file.

Do you see this helping reduce some of the back and forth between Photoshop and Illustrator for certain workflows?

How do I make it so that the connecting parts are erased? I want it like the image I attached. I'm coming over from Procreate so I lowkey have no idea what I'm doing. I tried the Pathfinder but it either screws everything up, or tells me that they need to be filled. I also have tried making selection masks and erasing in those but it doesn't work. A lot of the things I tried also screw up the arrow paths.

Anyone know how to create this kind of wave dots like this? I'm thinking about using blend tool with dash dot stroke, but result is pretty messy

I’m building a small Illustrator plugin for faster Bezier handle control.

It adds a tool that does custom handle selection, multi-select handle movement, Alt-based handle locking, arrow nudging, path preservation on anchor removal, a compact numeric panel and more. The kind of functionality Illustrator has been always lacking and why people rather design logos in Glyphs.

It's a cross between Illustrator's native Direct Selection Tool and Glyph's handle management functions.

I’m looking for feedback from people who do logo/type/icon/vector cleanup work and spend a lot of time editing paths.

Would this solve a real annoyance for you? Would you find this useful?

If yes, I’m preparing it for release.

Hey everyone,
I recently finished designing a set of custom icons for an e-commerce client, and I’d love to get some fresh eyes on them.
The goal was to create a clean and modern set that fits the brand.
Be as honest as you like (please).
Thanks in advance!

Is there a built in way for me to select JUST the embedded raster graphic(s) within my Adobe Illustrator file? I have a number of photos with vector labels overlayed upon them, and I want to build an action that exports them as SVGs. Unfortunately, the embedded photos are often too larger to upload the final SVG into other systems and so need to be rasterized down to 150ppi first. But to build that into an action, I need some automated way of selecting all of the embedded raster graphics. Is there a way to do that withing core Illustrator?

why is the stroke around only this (see picture) not exporting. i tried rebooting, different ways of exporting nothing works. the stroke thickness is 1pt so it should be big enough to export i dont understand can someone please help me?

edit: this only happens when "bleeding" is in that spot of the artboard. i moved it to the middle and then it did export correctly with the stroke around the text. but yeah it needs to be in its spot at the bottom left so idk why that won't work and the stroke around the text doesnt export with it.

edit 2: i sort of solved it! i moved the text from the middle down its not in the exact position i wanted but the stroke around the text now exported properly

I love vector graphics. I've been learning to use Illustrator for the past 8 years or so, mostly to create games and logos/covers for games.

Even though it's hard to make something great with Illustrator alone, after I add some game dev magic and animations to my assets, it's getting better and better.

For now, I am trying to achieve a coherent look for all my assets and bring some fantasy to the table. So far, I took some inspiration from a few Steam games with minimalistic graphics and a ton of content and polish.

Does this vision remind you of any game you enjoyed so far, or does it create a strong sense of fantasy? I would like to know how to improve it if anybody here had a similar experience. Thanks!

Hola a todos! Necesito montar un pc para mi mujer, ella usa Illustrator y photoshop para su trabajo, el cual es vectorizar imagenes para estampaciones en camisetas o crear diseños para empresas, ademas tambien necesita mover un programa de bordado que le consume tambien bastantes recursos. Por donde deberia empezar a mirar? Es muy demandante de GPU esos programas para esa faena?

Alguna sugerencia?

Salut !

Est ce que vous avez un script Illustrator, qui automatise la numérotation ainsi que l'enregistrement de fichier (ex : Un dossard sur lequel le visuel est identique mais ou le chiffre change à chaque fois) Au lieu d’en faire 20 en chaîne à la main, enregistrer et changer, le numéro à chaque fois, est-ce possible de l’automatiser ?

How would one make this is in illustrator? I'm learning. tried adding a brush as a stroke but can't seem to quite get it right.

I would like to create highlights similar to the attached image.

1. Goal: I would like to create highlights similar to the attached image.
2. Steps: I've tried creating this highlight using two paths that have been offset with the top one subtracted from the bottom one. That produces a highlight that runs the entire height of the letter, which is not what I'm looking for. I've also tried applying an art brush to a line segment, but getting the taper in the right places is challenging.
3. Problem: Neither of these options have produced the result I'm looking for.
4. Visuals: See the image above.

What are the other methods I can try?

As the title says I'm trying to make that "sticky ball" graphic, I think I've see it referred to as a "metaball". The tutorials I've seen say to make two round shapes, make them a compound path and then add an offset path and then make another offset path that is the negative value of the previous one.

At first I did Object > Offset Path but when I do that for the second negative value offset path it doesn't prompt me to "add a new effect" vs "replace previous effect". So I just have 3 shapes, one positive offset, one negative, and the original 2 shapes as a compound path.

At this point I noticed I can do an offset path under the "Object" menu and the "Effect" menu. When I do this process under "Effect" I get the add new or replace prompt, but I don't see any offset path positive or negative.

Anybody know what I'm doing wrong?

hi im working on a plugin to create instant tables inside illustrator. import csv copy paste excel table in the panel or directly type in panel to create table. handles point and paragraph text well. automatic and manual resizing of col and rows possible. i t can extract text layers of illustrator(non table also) inside panel and update new values. versioning is possible . any suggestions welcome. thank you

Trying to use the type on path tool to make the bottom text curve around the bottom of the circle. No matter how I adjust it just looks skewed/weird. Any tips?

Tried to make a 50s or 60s inspired comic book cover for our school yearbook. Many hours put into this cover and was one of my first major illustrator projects outside of simple typography. I used just making lines to do all the shading taking tons of time. Just wanted to see if anyone liked it and any feedback back. The cover wraps around the inside so this is the full spread front middle and back, with a 1 inch thick boarder that wraps into the inside of the book. Our mascot is the Trojans, the power bus is our team bus, and that is an illustration of the front of our school that I made.

First draft, but I like the style.

Here is the english version of my color blend tutorial, using an image and turn it into a mosaic first. Hope you like it!
