Reinstalling the Standard Fonts Included with Windows XP:
The following fonts are included with Windows XP and are installed on every computer:

Courier New (TrueType, including Bold, Italic, and Bold Italic variations)

Arial (TrueType, including Bold, Italic, and Bold Italic variations)

Times New Roman (TrueType, including Bold, Italic, and Bold Italic variations)

Where can i get some brushes?

How to install Brushes :
You download a brush set and save to any folder you'd like the zip file to be in.
You unzip the zip file. I like using winzip.
Open the Adobe Photoshop file in your Program files(or where you've installed Photoshop), go into Presets and then Brushes. Cut and paste the brush (.abr) file into that folder or the Adobe Photoshop Only folder, it doesn't make any difference though.
Open Photoshop itself, go to the brushes tab(in my version it's at the top right), click on the little arrow pointing to the right and then choose 'Load brushes' from the list. This opens a window in which you can choose the brush file so it loads into Photoshop. Click OK and you're done

Some random shit,


Graphic Design

1. A true Vector is made 100% perfect in Adobe Illustrator or Macromedia Freehand. You can create a Vector in Photoshop; it is what the industry calls a “raster program”. Vector means it’s not resolution dependent.
ex. Although Photoshop is a raster program, in itself when you simply "zoom in" in Photoshop, you will see pixelation (becauses its raster-based), but when you resize your shape, it's without pixelation. You can even export your shape into Illustrator (a vector based program) and edit it and see every point you made.

2. The same goes for logo. You have not received a professional logo unless it is in this file format “.AI” or “.EPS”, if you receive your logo in .PSD format it means one of two things; 1.) You don't have full rights to the logo, instead you’re leasing it and 2.) Or your designer doesn't know what they are doing from a business/professionalism standpoint.

3. All artwork you make for Print should be exported in CMYK. You may design it in CMYK or RGB, just ask your printer for their preferences. If you think other wise ask a professional and your printer. Also it should be designed at atleast 300dpi. If you have any concerns about it, ask your printer.

4. Always back up whatever you do in any design program.

5. Try not to use pre grunge fonts. If your going to use grunge in your design, try to make it yourself. It takes your work to another level and adds a level of originality to it.

6. Never make you company name larger than your clients on any project. If anything, make the client say that your showing their name too much.

Resolution:
On Screen (web-design): 72dpi
Print: at least 300dpi

Color Seperation:
On Screen (web-design): RGB
Print: CMYK

File Types:
GIF - line art | 256 colors | supports transparency | lossless compression
JPG - photos | millions of colors | lossy compression
PNG - similar to GIF but not supported by all web browsers | millions of colors | supports transparency
TIF - print
EPS - supports vector art
PSD - Photoshop/Image Ready files | raster
AI - Illustrator/vector

Lossy: Loses Quality
Lossless: Obtains Quality

The Difference Between Raster and Vector
Raster -- an abstraction of the real world where spatial data is expressed as a matrix of cells or pixels, with spatial position implicit in the ordering of the pixels. With the raster data model, spatial data is not continuous but divided into discrete units. This makes raster data particularly suitable for certain types of spatial operation. The term may also refer to the region of a CRT (cathode-ray tube) or LCD (liquid crystal display) monitor that is capable of rendering images.


PROS --
- you can reproduce more detail with raster-based software
- shading and gradients can be used with more detail

CONS --
- can't be enlarged or the quality suffers from lossy, or a loss in quality/sharpness.
- file size if often times larger.
- exporting over and over can cause a slight loss in quality and effect the interlacing.

Raster Software --
- Adobe Photoshop
- CorelPhotoPAINT
- Macromedia Fireworks

------

Vector -- A line in computer graphics designated by its end points (xy or xyz coordinates). A vector layer does not use pixels for storing image information. Instead, it stores a vector object as a set of properties that describe its attributes, dimensions, and position in the image. Each time an image is opened, these properties are used as instructions for drawing the objects. Because the objects are independent elements, you can move them without affecting the rest of the image.

PROS --
- vector files can be enlarged and made smaller, with absolutely no loss in edge sharpness or quality.
- vector files allow for easy editing because of the way layers and paths are most utilized in vector files.
- filesize is often times smaller in comparison to raster.
- it is a more universal filetype for different media. vector files can be cut on a CAD machine, are widely and mostly used in silkscreen printing, and can be exporting to other vector formats (WMF, EPS, AI, CDR) with no lossy.

CONS --
- there is a limitation to shading and gradient use in vector formats
- designs have a somewhat simpler and flatter appearance in some cases.
- requires a lot more knowledge as opposed to raster (IMO)
- harder to work with, unless you know what you are doing.

Vector Software --
- Adobe Illustrator
- CorelDRAW
- Macromedia Freehand


Vector files are primarily created first in a vector program.

You can bring a flat, raster image into a vector program and manually trace it and convert it into vector.

Graphic Business:

1. Artwork rights: As a artist you own everything you create for anyone even; if they pay you for it, unless you signed a contract saying other wise.
Ex.1) You design a logo for someone and they pay you for it, you own it by law because anything you create that is 100% creative is copyrighted.
Ex.2) I design a logo for someone with a company name on it, before they copyright it. So by law, I created the company the day I designed that logo with the 100% creative input of myself. By law I have 5 years to file a lawsuit if I plan to.

2. If you're starting a company, don't go about solo pro, because you have your Personal Assets involved. If someone tries to sue you for some reason, you’re putting everything you have on the line. In the case of freelancing, shoot for LLC. (Limited Liability Company), that way it is easier to get investors, and your personal assets aren’t involved.

Nice im show dis to my friends who make sigs
