InDesign: Why are my text frames shifting down slightly when I copy them from a master page and paste in place to other masters and pages?


I am creating a number of business card variations in InDesign CC 2014 on a Windows 7 Professional 64-bit system. I am attempting to copy text frames from one master and paste them in place on another master.


However, when I paste in place my text frames shift down slightly. It also appears that sometime different text frames shift while others stay in the proper place.


I've done my best to check all aspects of text formatting to make sure I'm not accidently adding whitespace or changing line height before a chunk of text.


Has anyone else encountered this issue, and if so, do you know a solution?





Making a cartoon from image copyright issues?


I'm making cartoons in Illustrator from images I've found on the web i.e using the pen tool to outline the body and filling in colour. These cartoons are to be published in a magazine. Do I need permission to use the original image?


Sorry, I'm fairly new to this!


Thanks





Is there a more configurable alternative to Photoshop's Extrude filter?


I really like the Extrude filter (Filter > Stylize > Extrude), but it isn't very configurable so it tends to give similar results each time.


So I'm looking for an alternative method or plugin that can generate similar pseudo-3D effects, but allows more options for the shape of the extruded elements, such as pyramids, cylinders and blocks.





Transparency lost when placing a Photoshop CS5 image into Illustrator CS5


When placing a Photoshop CS5 image into an Illustrator CS5 file I'm losing the background transparency. Have never had this happen before. PDF's a acting the same way.





Indesign: Master pages not applying correctly in the right order


I'm guessing this is a pretty simple problem I'm having. I'm new to indesign and can't figure out how the masters apply to the pages properly.


For example, I have a 3 page master and I drag down the first page - fine; I drag down the second page - fine; I drag down the third page and the first page displays instead of the third. It also happens when I try to put the first page of a 2-page spread on the right-hand page.


Is there a setting I need checked or unchecked for this? What am I doing wrong? Sorry if this is a really simple problem.





What is the size of a smiley if i want to design it for a mobile app?


I've designed some smileys but when it came to developing the app, some of them were stretched.. so i figured out it might be an issue with the design of the smiley.


The smileys I'm trying to achieve are like the Facebook Emojis.


Thanks in Advance!
