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!

Illustrator: Use a complex path to clip an image

I am just trying to clip an image with some complex path. After I applay the clipping, the image just won't show.

Can someone tell me why?

For some reason I had to raster the group I wanted to clip before I was even able to apply the clipping.

Adobe Illustrator CS2: Can not print the illustration - what is this and how to fix?

WinXP SP3, AI CS2 update from 12.0.1, Acrobat 9.5.2 Pro - had lived in great comfort on a one machine for years before AI refused to "print" files as PDF.

The investigation revealed that:

• 
  

  AI does not print any file, including a newly created;

  
  


• 
  

  AI does not print on any of the installed local printers (not network): PDF, common Canon, VentaFax (error "Can not print the illustration");

  
  


• AI does not save through Save As EPS and as PDF (error "Can't save the illustration. Can't print the illustration"), in AI /SVG it saves.

I have tried to make a complete removal of all AI settings, reinstalled AI, installed it on a virtual machine and so on. The effect equals zero. It is known that all distributions are original. One can only guess where else to dig.

Would really like to know

Good Day any/everyone, I currently am going to school for GDSN and wanted to know what the job market looks like for (1) those of you whom work for companies or small business? (2) those of you whom work for yourselves as freelancers or own your businesses?

Overlapping text with InDesign's data merge

I'm trying to set up a book of song lyrics with a two-column layout. I'd like to pack as many songs as a page as will fit, so I tried doing a data merge with multiple records per page.

This works great, but wastes space because it forces only one song per column:

Since each song has a different length, I tried making the lyrics section a variable height using Auto-Sizing:

But when I do that, the resulting document overlaps a lot:

Is there a way to use auto-sizing height but have it not overlap?

I know this is mathematical but what is this

I realize this isn't primarily a graphic design question, and more on the lines of programming, but this has to have a name.

What's this printing technique called?

Basically printing 3d letters for indoors (or outdoor) like on the picture? Is there a special printing technique involved in the making of these letters?

Adobe Flash - Sliding Expandable Banner AS2

I have an ad designed where the banner pops up over a movie on mouse over and subsequently disappears when the mouse is taken away and restarts the movie. Code is AS2.

I need to change the way the expanded banner shows. Currently it pops in but I would like it to slide in from right to left.

Code as follows:

import flash.external.*; import com.greensock.TweenLite;

C_Height = 205; C_Width = 444; C_Unexpanded = 150; C_Zone = "zone50";

MyButton.onRelease = function(){

getURL("http://Removed for privacy", "_blank");

}

MyButton.onRollOver = function() { TweenLite.to(MyButton, .5, {_width:C_Width}); TweenLite.to(Expanded, .5, {_alpha:100,onComplete :function(){ }}); TweenLite.to(Unexpanded, .5, {_alpha:0,onComplete :function(){ Unexpanded.Animation.gotoAndStop(1); Unexpanded._visible = false; }});

Expanded.Animation.gotoAndPlay(2);
//Expanded._alpha = 100;
Expanded._visible = true;

ExternalInterface.call("showFlashContent", C_Zone, C_Height, C_Width, "", "", "", "", "left");

}

MyButton.onRollOut = function() {

TweenLite.to(MyButton, .5, {_width:C_Unexpanded});
TweenLite.to(Expanded, .5, {_alpha:0,onComplete :function(){ Expanded._visible = false; }});
TweenLite.to(Unexpanded, .5, {_alpha:100,onStart :function(){ Unexpanded.Animation.gotoAndPlay(1); }});


Unexpanded._visible = true;

ExternalInterface.call("closeFlashContent", C_Zone);

}

// Load Movies

Unexpanded.attachMovie('MC_Unexpanded','Animation', 1); Unexpanded.Animation.setMask(UnexpandedMask);

Expanded._visible = false; // Expanded._x = 580; Expanded._alpha = 0; Expanded.attachMovie('MC_Expanded','Animation', 1); Expanded.Animation.setMask(ExpandedMask); //Expanded.Animation._x -= C_Width/2; //Expanded.Animation._y -= C_Height/2;

Any ideas?

I have tried every option. Every option I can come up with anyway!

Cheers

Changing multiple text layers

Title says it all! Is there any way for me to change the contents of multiple text layers that have the same text at the same time rather than doing each one individuall?

Hello. I have a photo I want to print on a t-shirt

The trouble is that My printer is asking for an AI file

I have been working on this as a raster file for a long time (its a pencil drawing I wanna print on t-shirt

I just converted them to AI files via opening on illustrator and re-saving them

WIll this result in the printer printing out the white space, (which is winthin the photo, not the artboard)? I want the white to be purely tee shirt itself.

How do I export an SVG from Illustrator such that it renders well in small sizes?

I come from a Photoshop background and this is my first time dabbling with AI.

I would like to show my product logo in a small size on a webpage (about 15px height). I currently have a PNG (created in Photoshop) but the font is quite choppy. I am assuming it has to do with the scale.

To fix it, I am now trying to work in Illustrator and saving as SVG. I've tried a bunch of things but the logo shows up very nicely in large sizes, but not small.

Here's how it is big:

But here's how it shows when it's close to the size I am looking for:

How do I make the smaller text smoother on my webpage?

I have tried setting anti-alias in the Character window but it's disabled. Should I even try using an SVG or should I try fixing my PNG in Photoshop?

When I draw a rectangle in Photoshop, it does not place it on any layer

When I draw a rectangle in Photoshop, it does not place it on any layer. This seems like unusual behavior.

1. Create a new document


2. Unlock Layer 0.


3. Click on Layer 0 so it's selected.


4. Draw a rectangle in my document.

At this point there is still only Layer 0 in my layers tab. If I make a new layer, then delete Layer 0, the rectangle is still there.

What am I misunderstanding about Layers in Photoshop? In Illustrator this would have added a rectangle to the selected layer.

Need legal advice: New business owner asking me to remove a past personal project

A year and a half ago, I did a personal project where I created beer bottle packaging and branding for a fictitious brewing company called Bottle Rocket Brewing. You can see the project on my site here: http://ift.tt/1M7yFqe

Today I got an email from somebody who is starting an actual Bottle Rocket Brewing company in another state and they requested that I remove the project from my website. This is their site/logo: http://ift.tt/1yfB5HB

I'm arguing that it's a personal project and I'm not profiting from sales of the design in any way, nor am I using their actual logo (because I created my designs before they created theirs.) They still are insisting I remove it and claim that I'm profiting from their company name.

Am I legally obligated to remove the project or can I safely ignore it?
