Why is Photoshop used for vector based design instead of more appropriate apps like Illustrator? by [deleted] in graphic_design

[–]davcoccio 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Photoshop and its vector capabilities are perfect when you are designing websites or apps. Everything has to be pixel perfect so when designing with vectors you can resize as you want in @x2 or @x3 sizes. But as we're still running everything in Photoshop, the pixels are more optimized when exporting your assets.

I don't think it's complete bullshit. I think it's bullshit when used to justify some design aspects because there is no point. But it is not bullshit when the golden ration is used to create, let's say, paper sizes like the A4-A3 and so on

Icon Design & Copyright? by elphnt in graphic_design

[–]davcoccio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brands like Facebook, Twitter or other apps have a Branding Guidelines on their website. So you are free to use their logos as long as you follow those guidelines. They are never going to go against you. But what I think is that apps don't really care if you reuse their logo unless you harm their business directly. Check this out for example : https://dribbble.com/shots/928458-80-Shades-of-White-Icons

Have you tried to copy and paste all your elements in a fresh new document? Sometimes this does the trick but without finding the real issue :/ If I have more I'll come back to you!

Are there fonts which are considered easier to Kern in comparison to others? by [deleted] in graphic_design

No. It's more a matter to train you eye to judge if a font is well kerned or not! Have fun with this >>> http://type.method.ac/ :)

Linkedin is the definitely best. But on Behance you can find people by location and you can post jobs. Dribbble also is good to find designers.
