How to Create Text-Free Assembly Instructions in Adobe Illustrator
May 23rd
Do you like to read assembly instructions? I certainly don’t! If you’re like most people, you would rather skip the text and try to assemble something using the illustrations only. Am I right? Some people like to try to assemble things using no instructions at all! Sadly, there is nothing we can do about this group. In this tutorial, you will learn how to create concise, easy to follow, text-free technical illustrations for people who need a little guidance but prefer to skip all the reading. As a bonus, you will learn how to make an outdoor broom from discarded two liter soda bottles. You, lucky dog, you! 1. Before You Begin Step 1 Choose a line style. Most assembly illustrations are black and white line drawings and either use a single line weight or the “thick-thin” method. I prefer the thick-thin method because it adds depth and dimension.

The thick line being two or three times thicker than the…

Create a Coffee Cup Mock Up in Adobe Illustrator Using the 3D Revolve Effect
May 22nd
Adobe Illustrator’s 3D effects can be a used to create quick, yet realistic product mock-ups. While not a full ray-tracing 3D application, Illustrator’s 3D feature is quite sophisticated, and it has some advantages over its more expensive counterparts. For starters, vector objects and effects can be scaled to any size without loss of quality. It’s easy to re-purpose vector art you’ve already created, plus you don’t have to leave the friendly confines of Illustrator. And as you’ll see in the following steps, the learning curve is not nearly as steep. Let’s get started! 1. Draw the Outline of Half a Cup The first step is to draw a path that will form the 3D shape. You might want to use a photograph for reference, or a sketch. Or you can just experiment, modifying the path after you apply the 3D effect. The 3D effect, like all Illustrator effects are “live”. That means it can be edited as many times as you like, without degrading the quality of the image. I used a photo reference to draw a simple path, as shown below. You don’t have to draw the entire cup outline, just the right half of it. 2. Add a Lip to the Top …

Many clients are saying that a web designer’s work is similar to an artist’s life: he can freely create amazing things from scratch, he can work from anywhere and he can choose his tasks however he wants. This is not quite true: being a web designer means that you must have a lot of skills starting from technical knowledge, social abilities and the right resources, preferably free stuff such as free vectors , free .psd, free UI elements and so forth. A web designer will always have to innovate; he is in a constant battle with his competitors because usually the client chooses you, so you don’t have the luxury to say no to every project that you find difficult to work on. Sure, this happens mostly if you are a freelancer. As I said, a web designer must be extremely efficient therefore he needs to know where he can find the resources suitable for any of his project. For example, if…
