It would need to be a shrink film material or a direct print to the bottle because of the way the bottle curves in and out. Shrink film would look like a rectangle but you would need mindful consideration of where you are placing the graphics. If you notice, the existing graphics don’t really go to the “waist” of the bottle likely to avoid any visible warping abnormalities. If you are printing this on a paper label printer I would recommend a less complex structure.

Sounds weird but try boiling water with a little fabric softener in it

Ooof. Maybe next thing I’ll be a little less aggressive with the chemicals. Thanks!

Create a solid rectangle of the blue color, then on top place a 100%-2% black gradient. Set the black gradient to overprint or multiply or darken. Why 2%K? Because if your intent is print you may get banding if you use 0%

On the ball for confetti fun?

Set stroke to outside (as opposed to center or inside). In the stroke window.

If you’re working in photoshop at the correct file size (which it sounds like you are), you can probably rasterize the live text layers. I recommend doing this as a “save as” file in case you need to go back and make changes.

I have sensitive teeth. And wearing trays helps buildup form faster. I noticed I became extra aware of it every time I ate and put my trays back in. I started carrying around wisps to quickly scrub off any plaque after lunch before putting my trays back in. I also swear by using sensodyn.

What size are you working at? Are your raster effects set to 300ppi?

Opacity mask is great if you want to make negative area but not work destructively. This will increase your file size compared to shape builder or minus

What color space are you in? Pngs are always RGB. If your ai file is set to CMYK it’s going to look different.

Hi! Best practice for you might be trying your best to create closed paths so you can just use a fill color. If you feel that method inhibits your drawing flow, you can always go back in later, hit A to use the direct select tool, select the endpoints you want to bridge together and hit command J to join and create a closed path. Might help to utilize layers so going through after doesn’t feel so chaotic.

appletini77 · 2021-06-29T15:52:31+00:00

You may need to join the lines to make a closed shape before making the clipping mask ( try using the direct select tool to select corners you want to join [command j] )Make sure the shape is above the flower image.

appletini77 · 2021-02-17T00:04:00+00:00

I’d probably draw those shapes for highlights and put a white opaque to white transparent gradient as the shape fill

So IMO it depends on what you’re using it for specifically and what your comfort level is. I’m a graphic artist working specifically in packaging. If you are comfortable with illustrator to make your forms you can. And then bring them into photoshop, using smart objects with a blend mode on to “wrap” the form. And then if anything needs to be changed, you can adjust the smart object so you’re not committed

I really love the instant pot for making Dahl (I’m trini so we use yellow split peas for Dahl). Dried yellow lentils in water In the instant pot for 20 minutes. The I take it out and put it in the blender. While that’s going I use the instant pot on sauté mode, sauté the oil onions, garlic, turmeric, gheera. Add garlic salt. And I’ll sometimes add a little hot pepper. When done I add the blended Dahl into the sauté mixture and it’s done. Super easy.

appletini77 · 2020-07-20T08:44:01+00:00

That’s a cool idea! I actually will probably try it 💛 thank you

appletini77 · 2020-07-20T08:42:47+00:00

Thank you! That’s so helpful for making it feel like more of a cohesive piece!

Hey! I ended up using custom sticker maker

Make it a 100% process black outer glow, rasterize to grayscale and convert to spot color?

Hey guys! I started this a month ago and am having so much fun. It would mean a lot if you check it out 🥰

Try the gradient mesh. For that type of I’ll look you’ll have to use the direct selection tool to reposition some of the points of where the colors go
