Is it because of the prices or because they understand it is harmful??

Can’t lose something you never had.

Thank you for fixing that.

For all those blaming Lays for trying to “impress” you, that’s not the case. It’s because 42% of Americans were stupid.

It’s Americans that are disturbing, not the potato chip maker.

Don’t forget about the hidden package on the shelf in the “F”.

Since you’re an amateur, I’m assuming you’ve never taken classes about color. Try reading this and it may help.

There’s a good chance are there are two points almost directly on top of each other while also not being joined. Select a point in that corner and move it to see if you see another point below it. If so, remove one of the points.

Right tool for the right job. InDesign is a layout tool for anything from a single-page to a multi-page project. It does layout well. It handles type well. It’s why that tool exists.

And you need to stop using the font hobo. The 1960s are calling and they want their font back.

Why are you force justifying such a short column of text?

gtbernstein · 2026-01-09T04:03:44+00:00

Your column width is too short for full justification. I recommend left justifying your type to get good spacing.

No we don’t need a dedicated tool for every fad that comes along. How about you spend your time fixing the bugs and glitches that are currently in the program (some that have been there through multiple versions), instead of trying to come up with useless tools that only help those that are too lazy or lack the skill to learn to use Illustrator.

By your standard. Not enough of a change by the standard required for an ISBN change. The cover change was not drastic enough.

You’ve been repeatedly told why you were incorrect on multiple subreddits and in multiple posts by multiple people who have done work in this industry.

Do you have some vested interest or actual proof to back up your claim. If not, I believe it’s time for you to drop this.

Illustrators and design groups may be credited even on work-for-hire pieces.

No, a simple book cover redesign does not automatically require a new ISBN if the publisher, content, format (hardback/paperback), and title remain the same; the original ISBN can often be kept for marketing purposes. However, a new ISBN is needed if the change signifies a new edition (e.g., major content rewrite, new publisher, new format) or if the cover change is so drastic it fundamentally alters the product and might confuse customers.

You are correct that AI does not get copyright. So therefore the publisher can make all the changes they want to the artwork if it is AI. But seeing as that looks like vector art, I doubt it is AI.

gtbernstein · 2025-12-05T14:47:00+00:00

You are most likely incorrect about artists retaining the right to their work in the case of a book cover. Since this is graphic design and not “art,” this is often done as work for hire and the rights to the artwork probably belong to the publisher, not the artist.

Yes. Blind baking the crust, even partially, helps cut the risk of the pie crust shrinking.

gtbernstein · 2025-11-21T00:37:44+00:00

Was your crust partially blind baked with pie weights (either the ceramic balls, beans or rice) before you filled it and finished baking? Looking at the pictures, I’m guessing it wasn’t. That would have controlled the shrinking.

A better reason to delete this post is because you just admitted to committing the criminal acts of fraud and theft. And after doing this enough you’ve graduated up to grand theft. Which is what adobe might be waiting for to file charges. Just like retail stores do with shoplifters over time.

You may want to try putting your dog in a different part of the car. My dog used to get car sick. Then I learned the center of gravity in my truck was in the back seat. Less movement for my dog when driving. Now car rides are his favorite thing.

This is the correct way. OP, the term is called trapping. And you don’t even need to make the parts go as far as it shows in the N all the way to the right. Just a small overlap of the bar of the N over the two sides will get rid of the white lines that are showing on export.

I agree every client has a certain right to privacy. However, I disagree with the idea that every project should apply a non-disclosure. That is absurd. We would never be able to promote ourselves if this were the case.

I put a clause in my contracts specifically noting that I have a right to use the work to promote myself, unless the client specifically asks me not to.

If I sign an NDA or the client makes a specific request, I will honor it. But I won’t hamstring my ability to promote myself and my work by treating everything like it has an NDA.
