Header Trouble

So my plan is to have a different background color for the header than the background color for the body. The background color for the header pretty much encompasses everything I want it to encompass EXCEPT between the logo and the navigation there's a small gap of space that has the background color for the body instead of the background color for the header.

So I tried making a little spacer bar with the background color of the header in Paint Shop Pro to see if it would fill the gap, but it only made it look worse. So I'm not sure how to go about filling up that space so the entire header looks unified in one background color.

Online presence Advice

Hello All,

How are you doing?

Simple question alothough im finding it hard to answer.

My online portfolio is nearly finished but ! ...i'm not sure as to the volume of work to show.

Most of my work to date is graphic art, of which I am very happy with.

Is 9-10 rows of 8 images 70px x 70px to much to expect a viewer to look at.

All my images are together in rows at the moment, ungrouped by tag etc..
Should i expect the viewer to CLICK again into sections or leave in basic groups ..?

see here


How have others gone about putting there images together online...

InDesign, Formats, and Printing

Okay. So I'm working on a family recipe book that will end up being a christmas present for my generation of the family. It will include a bit of family history and popular recipes that our family loves to make - including things from pumpkin chocolate chip cookies to my mother's spaghetti recipe. It will include full bleed pictures and numerous colors.

My first question is the most important for the moment - how on earth do you save indesign files so that you can upload them to the internet? This is mostly important because otherwise, you guys can't help me with my work, and two, the printing process will be problematic. Thanks.

Another question I have it about the printing process itself. One of the companies I'm looking into is Lulu. They have a special section for cookbooks. I'd plan on making it a 7.5/7.5 square and bound using "Perfect Bound." Does anyone have any experience with this company? Or any other book printing companies? I'd prefer not to print from a UK company, as I'm almost as far from the UK as I can get. If you have any thoughts on the printing process, I'd definitely appreciate it.

If you can answer either of those, that would be great. Once I get the first question answered, I'll upload some of the pages I've completed to ask for your thoughts.

Thanks!

Need help to allign text in illustrator

Hey. well i know the allign functions in illustrator, but when i'm working with text I like to add quite a bit space between each caracter. Well then it automaticly makes a space after the last caracter, which makes the allignment bad. Then my solution to this issue has been to expand the text, but well it just aint working for a long time, because when i then want to come back and change the text i can't because it's expanded and now works as a path.

Anyone who has a solution to my problem?

Thanks :boogy:

Age?

Now im 14 im young in the line of work i got 2 years-ish experience....What do i charge?

i apologize in advanced if this thread confuses you makes no sense

I am wanting to know whether the amount i charge should be based on my age experience and quality...or what?

What should i be charging for my work, should the price be lowered because of my age just to get people to take me seriously?

i have no clue at the moment, i see freelance designers charging around $250+ per logo and then i see websites doing logo's for $20

What do you suggest? please let me know what you think your recommendations and point me in the right direction

Thankyou

Need some answers from some designers please.

Hi :1eye:

I need some help please. I have an assignment where I must talk to designers and ask some questions.

I’ve put some questions together would you guys look at it please and answer it.

How does the world (with all going on) effect you as a designer?

Is society effecting you and if so why and how?

Is the environment affecting you?

The politics does it have an impact on you work?

How would you describe the economy of our country? And does it have an impact on your work?

The way you live (your lifestyle) and everyone else does it influence you or not? If yes give a reason.

Technology has a part in the industry, if it was not here how would you have gotten along to do your designs?

Do you keep in mind social economics when you do you designs or advertising?

Do you take all cultures and religion in account when you do advertising or designing?

Gender and sexuality is playing a big role in designing these days.

Do you see the true impact it has?

Do you use it in your designs?

Is your design sustainable and worth being in society, are you proud enough of your design that it can be used for years to come?

Does one of your designs make an impact on the public society?

If so why would you say so?

As a designer how do you feel about theft in the country, does it have an effect on you?

Conflicts between designers, is it negative or positive?

Do you gain knowledge of how other designers think or does it have a negative impact on you?

Where do you see the future in designing is growing towards?


I will appreciate input. :flowers2:

Thanks

Making a Photograph look like a CGI

OK so here is our problem, we have been asked to great some advertising material to sell some new build houses. We normally get CGI's done up to show the building however these are pretty much built so we have been sent photo's but the leaflets want to match the corporate style which is for CGI's.

So does anyone have any ideas on how to make the Photo look like a CGI?
My first attempts just end up looking like rubbish CGI's or put of focus pic's...

Any suggestions would be very much appreciated

Apprenticeship

Hey peeps! I've been studying web deign/development for the last couple of months in the hope of carving a freelancer career. I've so far managed to chew through the technical stuff (PHP, CSS) but I'm having trouble with graphics. So I figured that the best thing to try is to land an apprenticeship in a business or at a freelancer. I'd prefer payed work (even if it's only a couple hundred dollars) but considering my situation and all, I'd be willing to work for free as well, as long as I get a chance to learn something. So, anyone in need of an apprentice?

I haven't been here in ages it seems. I stopped designing for a while but I am startin' to get back into the groove and doing things legit.

So, the question I have deals with the artwork rights. Do any of you charge more for handing over the rights? If so, what is an average or standard?

thanks in advance,

Web-based Calendaring Recommendations

I'm looking to implement a calendar on an existing website for a non-profit arts organization. Currently, the client is using formatted HTML in an agenda style view. Solution should be free or cheap with no monthly service charges and flexible enough to integrate in a site with fairly narrow columns, ideally retaining the agenda view.

Recommendations?

Charity Graphic Design

Sorry for taking so long to get back to everyone on the charity graphic design thread (which is now closed). I didn't realise it would become a subject of such debate!

We were really impressed with the work of all the designers who offered their support but we've decided to go with someone more local for the design. We really do appreciate your offers of help. The site will be up and running soon once the logo is finished.

We're also launching Lycos Web Hosting in late October, which will have a PR & Marketing section that I'm sure many people on here will want to tap into. Lots of the larger charities do have substantial markting budgets!

n00b myspace design question...*sigh*

Hello all, this is driving my CRAZY why I can't figure this out. Check out these myspace band pages(the page I'm currently designing is a band page), page 1 , page 2

Same guy designed them, obviously. MY question though. First off, how did he do the tinted transparent middle? And my real question, how did he get it continue on into the "top banner" area above the advertisements? Sorry for the noobish questions, and I'm sure you guys get tired of dumb myspace questions. But I'm a third year graphic design student, and highly considering double majoring in web design now because that "grasp" I thought I had on the subject, is slowly becoming non-existent. I haven't taken a web design course since my freshmen year in college to be gentle. I really appreciate any help.

Simple Logo

What strategies do you use to differentiate logos that are only words?

I'm in an awkward position because I need to create a "simple" logo with only one word and make it "stand out." For example, the Digg logo is very nice, but that doesn't "stand out" and the IBM logo isn't "simple" enough.

Help // Billboard Design

A friend of mine has been approached by a telephone company to direct and record a commercial for them. They have also asked him to create a billboard advert to match the campaign, which I am going to do!

But I was just wondering, has anyone on here design a full size billboard before? If so, how is it done?

The dimensions are 24mx20m! So obviosuly having a file that size at 300dpi would take a HUGE amount of ram! So are the usually done at a lower resolution or just done in parts?

Also, for using images on them, how is it possible to make the images that big without them losing clarity?

Thanks for any help.
