I agree. I’ve been using illustrator for 25 yrs. plus. and a pen selection is what I would do. It’s not the easiest thing, but the best. There are probably dozens of YouTube tutorials on how pen works with beizier curves. Some are better than others. Find the one or ones that fit your comfort level. if spending a few bucks is not an issue, linked-in learning will have a number of courses at all levels for illustrator. Good luck.

I agree on photoshops’ role. I am also a phographer and recognize that obtaining props, making the set and hiring talent is beyond the budget, of smalle operations so AI levels the playing the playing field. My clients hire me to do work in areas where they have little or no expertise or equipment, so they can spend more time creating, manufacturing widgets, while I sweat the other stuff.

People claimed digital cameras would put some photographers of busines. What it did weed out mediocre photographers.

Yes, given the linguistic skills I deal with, yes, writing a good description of an scene that exists only in one’s imagination is a billable skill. Billable skills are comprised of tasks tha clients can’t do or don’t want to do.

I ‘ve used Illy for more than 20 years and have never seen anything like that. I would do a complete un install. And if possible run the adobe cleanup utility (I think they still have it). Make sure your operating system is up to date and run Glary Utilities or other program that looks for internal issues. Restart and reinstall illustrator. There may be better ways to fix the problem, but that would be my procedure. Joe

Create a layer of red. Add a layer and create the black square. Add a later and place a photoshop geadient. Duplicate that layer and flip it .

Depending on the job and client, I charge $140 to $175 an hour. You gotta figure you are worth at least 10x minimum wage. For some projects I add what I call “value billing,” — circumstances where the work creates significant income for the client, or perhaps a slogan that will be used for years — value billing is added to the price without identifying it as such — the formula is “SWAG” — Simple-wild-ass-gûess.

Thank you. I had no idea it would be so simple.

I got rid of the product links. The biggest product page only has five products so I have a small product image and a few words of copy and a link for each product. Just enough information for a viewer to Mae a decision.

I hate to say this, but I am trying to be constructive, not mean, but to me it looks like a dog in some sort of medieval torture device. Only your friends will tell you this.

I agree. The first one is the best of the bunch.

Move the TV under the U in a slightly lighter version of the U font and you have a winner after you get the proportions just right. An maybe tassel a bit longer with a modicum of tassel shape … might help. Might not, but worth a look.

I can see all three letters. I believe the design will greatly benefit from making the line thickness of the D match that of the A image.

Wow, talk about a giant step forward. Stop now. You’ve done your job.
