Joker Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Okay... another question... sorry... I have a client right now who originally told me to do a design for him using three colors. So I did. Now he's feeling the pinch of his wallet and wants to know if I can tone it down to two colors. Which I think I can... I just don't know how to. So I thought I would ask in here... Is there a way, in Illustrator, to get tones of gray using black? And I don't mean by lowering the transparency. The client mentioned using tiny black dots to make up the gray space. I've never heard of this. (Then again, I'm new to this) Anyone know what he's talking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
count chocula Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 he's talking about halftone. which is a lot easier (in my opinion) to do in photoshop. i don't remember exactly- but i'm pretty sure there's a filter/action for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dosoner Posted November 3, 2005 Author Share Posted November 3, 2005 i dont know how to do it in illustrator, but here is a real quick (and i mean quick) half tone thing i whipped up in photoshop. hopefully this will help us clarify what jokers client is talking about?

dosoner Posted November 3, 2005 Author Share Posted November 3, 2005 oh course it would need to be of alot better quality than that, but that is a real real rough photoshop halftone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seeking Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 joker, what are you designing this for? why does it matter how many colors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s.urkaleeno Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 I have a problem.... hopefully someone has the answer. I'm currently running CS1 w/ Tiger recently when I try and paste ( .ai ) files into phostoshop I am getting an error message " could not import clipboard because specified format is not in the edition" also ( .ai ) files are showing up on the desktop w/ .ai extentions and PDF frames. Anyone have any ideas on this predicament? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POIESIS Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 when i doubt, restart(this should solve your pdf frames thing, but i dunno about the other prob). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKOTREL Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 does anybody have any idea how this guy made this graphic ,its a gif so im guessing he cleaned it up in photoshop and then did it in illustrator...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomatoes67 Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Som Illustrator shit I did while procrastinating on job-hunting this morning. The outer frame by drizzle's head is a little too close to the inner, but other than that I'm happy w/it. Trying to stencil and/or screen onto a t-shirt.

Tomatoes67 Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Playing around with the live trace / live paint functions in Illus. CS2. More of a manipulation I guess. Added some metal pannels and bolts, color, gradient, and splatters. Used to be a B/W comic book frame w/ dialogue bubbble. Man, these new functions are dope, but feels like I'm cheating. Probably because I am. Fuck it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoB Hope ONER Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 live trace is good for like rough stuff.. its especially goo for background elements.. but i still think it needs to be reworked by hand and a bit of time to look 'finished' and unique..

Quoted post I kind of feel that after messing around w/it. That Dr. Doom character was by no means a good example of utilizing the function to it's fullest. Trial run I guess.

BoB Hope ONER Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 i mean the people who are actually good with illustrator and photoshop usually have a really strong background in hands on approaches.. such as drawing in painting.. not all cases..but i think it definitely builds really the strongest foundation. Being good at illustrating is mostly communicating an idea. That is accomplished partly by good observation, applying an appropriate and complimentary aesthetic. not every illustration have to be meaningful. but it should have some sort of meaning...in its strokes, gestures and composition. now anyone can trace shit.. sure.. im not hating on tracing either.. i just dont think its 'the way' to use illustrator. same with all that other cookie cutter shit.. its all aesthetic fads that will come and go.. those things you can always emulate.. this is a painterly approach to using illustrator... im not saying THAT is an example of good illustration.. its pretty rough.. its just a different approach to using illustrator.

s.urkaleeno Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 Thanks. After a few phone calls i realised it was that it's because I'm running the CS1 package on OSX tiger and there are some intergration issues. The only way to fix it is to get CS2 or go back to Jaguar.....luckily I get software from work, so it's all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
