I decided to write this article after repeatedly seeing graphic design programs being used incorrectly for various graphics including those intended for print, for cutting plotters / cutters / engravings, web or UI design or videos.

We often hear about being a great graphics designer, but since there are so many areas which graphics design covers, it is difficult to tell what does it actually means to be one.

In the previous article, I was discussing how important effective work with layers is. Here, I would like to delve more into using the ‘Layers’ panel and their combination with the ‘Appearance’ panel.

It is Time for my first instruction in which I focus on the workspace in Adobe Illustrator, mainly panel arrangement and use presets that facilitate and accelerate the work.

As I promised at the end of the previous tutorial (PDF – converting text to curves with Adobe Acrobat PRO), today we will talk about converting text to curves with the help of .pdf file and Adobe Illustrator.

It happened to me several times while working with .pdf files, that the delivered graphic needed to be further edited. Given the fact that texts are not usually saved as curves, you have to either find missing font or convert text to curves.
