meetthemets Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Is there a simple way to turn an Illustrator graphic into a webpage using ImageReady, etc? I figured out how to create slices in AI but can't figure out how to open them in ImageReady or Dreamweaver. Any help would be great.thanks.

andrewharrington Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 If you have InDesign CS2, you can package a file into web format for GoLive CS2, but that's all I know of the science.

When it asks you the format in which you want to same, you can select HTML and images. This will generate a file called index.html, which will create tables to contain your images.Tempest's idea could also work, although I didn't have a chance to work with InDesign and GoLive yet.If you do know html, I encourage you to code your pages manually, because it is much easier to get clean code when you do it yourself (softwares tend to add stuff just for fun...).

slapshot Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Just what Joel said. I've been using Illustrator since version 3 when I was in college, so that's 13+ years experience. And I still don't know all the goodies it has to offer. Quote Back-to-Back Fatal Forty Champion 2015 & 2016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sideshowbob Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 I have another question, this is probably stupid but how do you add water marks behind concepts?

rmered Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 I have another question, this is probably stupid but how do you add water marks behind concepts? Technically they're no longer watermarks if they're behind the rest of it.However, you make background graphics the same way you do them in front, except you move them down the Layers list until it's last.How do you make them at all, take the graphic you want and reduce the Transparency to 15-20%, depending on the colour it's made of.

Shumway Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 I'm having a bit of trouble arching text. I can get it to go one way, but not the other. I think I need to make the...umm...cap line?...be the direction in which I'm typing. Obviously my explanation's not helping...I'll show you:It's a crappy drawing, but it gets my question across:I an get it to go like it is on top, but not the bottom. When I try to do it that way, it types it upside-down, which is not how I want it. Does anyone know how to make it arch like that, but reading normally? Kind of like the old Penguins logo. Any help is appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiasco! Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 type your text on the path as you normally would, but then using either select (arrow) tool, drag the text to the inside of the path and to the position you want it located.

fiasco! Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 change the miter setting in the stroke pallette, the higher the setting, the sharper the point. Quote LinkedIn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pagan696 Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 same with miter limit on path>offset path. the miter limit set a cutoff point to keep stry ends from flying all over the screen. no need w rounded offset paths or strokes w round ends.

sideshowbob Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 hey guys, is there a way to perform a live trace without messing up the appearance of the image? So that after you have done a live trace it looks exactly the same, but it is vectorized? Another question, say I have a logo in illustrator, is there a way to pull up its exact colors on illustrator?

fiasco! Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 (edited) no.live trace will never make it exact. sometimes you'll get close, but rarely ever will it be exact.as far as colors go, select the area in question, then check out the color pallette. if it shows a pantone, you're golden. if not, you'll get the cmyk or rgb values that the designer put in there.
