Vector Illustration Dos and Don'ts 2008-02-23 10:12:00 This is called the "Subpar" rejection. Perhaps you're familiar with it. It means there's a certain something lacking from your illustration that is holding it back from the collection. But what does that mean, "not suitable"? What isn't suitable about it? What the h*ck is subpar around these parts? To help demonstrate some of the common causes for subpar rejections we sent our vector inspectors away with some homework. Each inspector created 2 illustrations of the same subject, one demonstrating common subpar issues. There’s just something about a subpar vector that’s easier to show than to explain. The second illustration then corrects the problems of the subpar version, making it suitable not just for stock, but for iStock.Most of the time, subpar has nothing to do with your concept Read more:Illustration

Exporting From Illustrator to Flash 2008-02-17 22:01:00 You’ve no doubt been in this situation before: you build a beautiful Web layout comp in Illustrator
for a tough client who seems to have an axe to grind. The sign-off comes, and you’re ready to pull the layout over into Flash
, set a few items, animate a few others, and the job’s done right? Wrong! In previous versions, getting content from Illustrator into Flash – well, getting it imported decently at least – was a lot tougher than it should have seemed. Thankfully, CS3 makes this entire process a breeze. From being able to set symbols and tag text in Illustrator to getting Flash to control layer imports and recognize Illustrator objects correctly, it’s all in there.
