Help with Package Label Design

Hi, I work for a one of the fortune 500 company as a helpdesk. Last month my company came out with a go green logo and when I saw I decide to create one. I showed the logo to my Director and my director forwarded the design to the Marketing department. They really like the design, but they couldn't use it because they already pay a design company for that logo and the logo were already print on the market. What happen next, is that they send me an email Yesterday asking me if I'm interest in getting an interview for a packaging designer job and the interview is going to be for next month. Now, I have no experience with packaging, label and printing and they know that, but I will like to surprise the with couple of design. I would like to know what software do I need to use from design to printing and if there is any good website with good tutorials. Thanks

They probably liked your style ( on the green logo ) and want to incorporate it into their packaging.  You should be honest and tell them you do not have any experience.  They'll probably bring you in at "entry level" so they can groom you to their corporate culture.  You'll probably be working under a senior designer and will probably spend a few months learning how things are done.  I'd imagine you'll need some basic knowledge of Illustrator and Photoshop, if not some intermediate level capabilities with both programs.
Now, if you want to impress them, find a current package the company had produced in the last few years.  Pull it apart and get it to lie flat.  Re-create the entire piece using Illustrator.  This will include a spot layer with dies.  Focus on improving the design and look of the piece, but make sure you do not copy what has already been done.  Come up with something original and incorporate your version of the "green" logo.  It does not have to be anything out-of-sight, but shows you know the company, you know how to improve the existing packaging out there, and you'll show initiate.  They'll probably never use it ( like your "green" logo, but will get you the job ).
This will take you some time.  I do not know of any web tutorials, but both Illustrator and Photoshop come with a few.  You could also go to a local bookstore and take alook at what they have in their "graphic design" section.  Some books come with a CD that has some templates and files you can take a look at.
There must be a void they're looking to fill, otherwise you'd never get the interview.  Don't get too stressed out trying to impress them.  They're already impressed.  But, if you "claim" to know it all in software, you'll be doing yourself a huge injustice.  Talent does not come in a box.  Sounds like they're willing to get you started, so go for it.

  • Help with Print Layout Designer

    Hi all,
    I'm not sure if I should post this here or not, I already posted it in the Business One Forum.  Moderator(s)  if this is not the proper place please delete it and let me know that it is not the appropriate venue.
    I need some help with Print Layout Designer.  I am running 2005A SP01, and my customer wants a modification to the Sales Backorder Report.  They want to add the column "In Stock" to both the report as displayed on the screen and the printed document.  The report rendered to the screen has the In Stock, but it is not checked as visible.  I check it and In Stock shows up as designed.  The part I am having problems with is the printed document. I opened the PLD from the Backorder Report, and saved it under a different name.  I resized some of the columns in the repetitive area (header and data) to make room for the In Stock column.  I CAN add the text field Instock as free text and enter "In Stock" as the content.  I looked at the "backorder" column in the PLD, and it is a text field with the source System Variable and the variable is 109.  I would assume that all I need to do in my added column is to set the source to System Variable and enter the variable number.  That is the problem; I can't find the variable number for that column.  I looked on the report rendered to the screen with system information on and the variable is "3 #000027825,OnHand".  I looked at the Back Order column of the report rendered to the screen and the variable is "3 #000028725,OpenCreQty".  I found a spreadsheet that is supposed to contain a list of system variables for 2007A, but the document type for this report is BRDR and that document type does not appear in the list of document types in that spreadsheet.  I looked for a similar spreadsheet for 2005A SP01 but didn't find one.  I DID find a document "How To Customize Printing Templates with the Print Layout Designer".  According to that document, I should be able to get the system variable from the report rendered to the screen with System Information turned on.  Can anyone help?
    TIA,
    Steve

    I haven't dealt with this before so I can't be certain, but here are my thoughts.
    The Backordered Qty is probably a calculated field, so that's why it's a system variable. The In Stock is a defined field, so you probably can use the file and field number, OITM, OnHand. I would look at maybe the stock number or description to see how those are setup on the form instead of the backordered qty field.

  • Guess I do need a little help with packages after all...

    Tried figuring in this out for the past 3 hours, various searches, scenarios etc...b4 posting....
    Okay, well....just like many aspects of this language, think I've got it down, and a
    new situation comes up where I can't implement it....in this case my own packages.
    (which is frustrating, but good because teaches troubleshooting, ingranes
    things into my peanut)
    Have done it before through tutorials...but now am having an issue...here we go:
    These are very small files..... 3 classes/one main
    http://www.cadenhead.org/book/24java/chapter10.shtml
    (see bottom for direct links)
    What I did first was put them in c:\java\2\modems
    compiled them all, everthing works great.
    #2
    I deleted the class files, and put all of the source into: c:\java\2\
    #3
    I edited the first 3 files to have the very first line ot each say:
    package com.modempack;
    No other edits, just this simple copy/paste at the top of each of those files
    #4
    For the file TestModems.java the only edit made was to put the following line at the top of the file:
    import com.modempack;
    #5 Compiled the first 3 files with the command "javac -d . FILENAME.java"
    they compile fine(you have to compile Modem.java 1st)
    #6 Try to compile the TestModems.java file with the same style or even just "javac Testmodems.java" and get the following error:
    C:\java\2>javac TestModems.java
    TestModems.java:1: package com does not exist
    import com.modempack;
    ^
    TestModems.java:5: cannot access CableModem
    bad class file: .\CableModem.java
    file does not contain class CableModem
    Please remove or make sure it appears in the correct subdirectory of the classpa
    th.
    CableModem roadRunner = new CableModem();
    ^
    2 errors
    It says package "com" does not exist" ...but it's created automatically when compiling the 1st 3 files....am at a lost.........could only think classpath issue somehow.....
    CableModem.java

    Thank you for your response once again
    (assigned u the dukies from last thread)
    Argggghhhh!!!!! / Yippie Kayay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Man oh man... HUGE headache....(wanting to studying the stuff from last post you helped on...having troubles with freaking packages SUCKS:) :) :)
    (but...will am learning, so that's good)
    Sooo....
    I put the actual ".java" files in the same directories, but that did not make a difference....
    So what I did was use the fully qualified /explicit name for each class.
    IE:
    import com.modempack;Gives the original 2 errors....that the above package does NOT exist??? wtf
    import com.modempack.*;Gives a single bad class erro
    Using either of the above and the following command:
    javac -classpath TestModems.javagives "no source files found"
    Using either of the above and the following command:
    javac -classpath c:\java\2\com\modems TestModems.javaYielded 5 errors of cannot resolve symbol
    Using: *****************************
    import com.modempack.Modem;
    import com.modempack.CableModem;
    import com.modempack.DslModem;and adding public in fron of the int[/code" variable....WORKS
    It is my understanding that
    import javax.swing.*;
    does NOT import everything with the swing library, so when thinking
    along those lines, this makes 100% sense....I just thought that with packages
    you could provide one, and everything else in the package is imported, ie: if you have a package with 500 classes in it, you wouldn't want 500 import lines....something seems like something
    must be wrong with the class files or something/classpath still or else this would work somehow???
    Well...going to go mess around somemore, just an update.
    Thank you again                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

  • Help with packages and classpath

    Heya,
    first off, i use textpad to compile my java, i don't do it via the command line.
    my problem is faily simple, i think. i've got a main class and i'd like it to import a custom class from a subdir.
    Main class is in
    C:\Documents and Settings\David\Desktop\java\test_gen.java
    I would like it to import
    C:\Documents and Settings\David\Desktop\java\obj_data\objects.java
    I understand that I have to declare objects.java to be a part of a package, so i head the code with: package obj_data; as i understand it, the directory in which the package to be imported resides in will be named the same as the package.
    When i import my package into test_gen.java, i import obj_data as follows:
    import obj_data.*;
    this should import objects.class and any other classes in the same directory. also import obj_data.objects.*; could be used.
    Anyway, thats my understanding of how you set up the class and package; i also understand that when the java file compiles the compiler looks at the directoy(s) indicated in the class path for the classes to import. that in mind i tried to add:
    C:\Documents and Settings\David\Desktop\java\obj_data\
    to my classpath. i did this via dos, javac -classpath "C:\Documents and Settings\David\Desktop\java\obj_data\"
    i got no error messages, so i assume it worked. however when i try to compile the main java (test_gen) i get-
    package packages does not exist
    import packages.*;
    ^
    1 error
    Tool completed with exit code 1
    can anyone give me some help please?

    This is a minimal explanation of packages.
    Assume that your programs are part of a package named myapp, which is specified by this first line in each source file:
    package myapp;
    Also assume that directory (C:\java\work\) is listed in the CLASSPATH list of directories.
    Also assume that all your source files reside in this directory structure: C:\java\work\myapp\
    Then a statement to compile your source file named aProgram.java is:
    C:\java\work\>javac myapp\aProgram.java
    Explanation:
    Compiling
    A class is in a package if there is a package statement at the top of the class.
    The source file needs to be in a subdirectory structure. The subdirectory structure must match the package statement. The top subdirectory must be in the classpath directory.
    So, you generate a directory structure C:\java\work\myapp\ which is the [classpath directory + the package subdirectory structure], and place aProgram.java in it.
    Then from the classpath directory (C:\java\work\) use the command: javac myapp\aProgram.java
    Running
    Compiling creates a file, aProgram.class in the myapp directory.
    (The following is where people tend to get lost.)
    The correct name now, as far as java is concerned, is the combination of package name and class name: myapp.aProgram (note I omit the .class) If you don't use this name, java will complain that it can't find the class.
    To run a class that's NOT part of a package, you use the command: java SomeFile (assuming that SomeFile.class is in a directory that's listed in the classpath)
    To run a class that IS part of a package, you use the command java myapp.aProgram (Note that this is analogous to the command for a class not in a package, you just use the fully qualified name)

  • Can anyone help with database driven design

    Hi,
    I would like to determine the best way to serve large amounts
    of text on an html page. I have manuals with lots of links that I
    want to add to a website. I would like to employ database driven
    web development in my design, would this be a good use for it? If
    so would you suggest php and what database?
    Thanks!
    Please forgive me for double posting, I posted this in the
    general forum but maybe should have done it here first?

    I would say it totally depends on the format that the manuals
    are in. If they're HTML than you can store them as BLOB's in mysql
    and you're life will be rather easy. You would need to parse the
    blob output for URLs but that's about it.
    However, if the manuals are in PDF than a database wouldn't
    help with the storage of the actual files, however you can use
    either XML or a DB (i.e. mysql) to store the metadata about that
    manual so that you can at least make the site searchable.
    A little more information about your data/website would
    probably be helpful.

  • Looking for some help with package design (box)

    I'm pretty good with Photoshop, but Illustrator is fairly new to me. I'm helping a friend do his product packages and I already have all of the graphics, I'm just having trouble figuring out how to put it all together in Illustrator.
    We already have the box dimensions and just need to get a vector file that the factory can use to print. My main question is how do I create the actual layout of the box to work on? In the pdf that was sent to us I can pull out the box, but it just sits on a white background.
    My next question is how do I fill the layout with a pattern. I have a carbon fiber look pattern in Photoshop, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to use it to fill in Illustrator.
    Thanks ahead of time for any help.

    Jem,
    Pardon me if I sound rude by suggesting that before you launch into an expensive printing job (which could result in disastrous consequences if you don't do it right) that you actually learn how to use the program first. You may also want to learn something about the offset printing process and how to prepare print jobs.
    Even many Illustrator novices know that there is no such thing as a background in Illustrator, in the sense that there is in Photoshop. You will need to PLACE your Photoshop background as a high resolution CMYK tiff in the provided template. That's the answer to your second question. I don't really understand your first question. Maybe someone else will. Are you simply asking, "where do I begin?" If so, then you REALLY REALLY need to read a book on how to use Illustrator. The Adobe Illustrator Classroom in a Book might be the place to start.

  • Help With "Package An Application" Using APEX  3.0.1 with XE

    I'm using apex 3.0.1 and XE Database and I'm trying to create a package application but without succes, I can find the way to do it and I know that it's possible. What I'm trying to do is create a file like the package application that we can download from Oracle page but for an application I create.
    Looking here in the forums I found this link:

    Johann,
    That doc was probably written against 2.2 because in 3.0, we reworked the supporting objects page a bit. If you are on Supporting Objects, in the Installation region, click on Installation Scripts. For more information, check the Advanced Tutorials document off our OTN site for a Tutorial called Reviewing a Packaged App (something like that - I can't access the doc at the moment).

  • Help with Zebra Label Printer and Multi Order Shipping Tool- Partial Label Printing

    I have a zebra gx420d which is compatible the zebra 2844 (its the new model) and I am having a hard time printing labels with the multi order shipping tool. I have the correct driver, the printer test page works fine, and everything is configured for a 4x6 label.
    I have set the selling preferences in paypal to match the zebra 2844 printer and within the mult order tool, I have edited the settings to also match zebra 2844.
    My problem is that regardless of what or how I do it, my printer will only print a 1/4 of the label. It is not shrinking the label, it is starting to print at the correct size but stops 1/4 of the way through. Almost like it thinks my label size is too small but as i mentioned, I confirmed 4x6 on the label settings at both printer properties and printer preferences. I spent and hour on tech support with zebra and they confirmed the printer is working as it is supposed to. I also know this because my Amazon labels print correctly as well. Its only paypal and ebay labels that are not working. Very frustrating.  Can anyone help?

    Hi,

  • Help with Package please

    Hi - I posted my question in the iPhoto forum and was directed me here! (The reply began "That's really an Operating System issue not an iPhoto one. The fix is done in the Terminal, but I'm not terminal expert ...") So here goes:
    I recently installed iPhoto Library Manager and it worked fine for the first two libraries I created but then I created a third and after opening it, the Pictures Folder (listed under PLACES on the left of my Macintosh Harddrive window) turned into a "package" with a new sort of icon instead of a folder.
    When I try to open it, I get a window that reads "There is no default application specified to open the document ‘Pictures’ " and a prompt to "Choose Application." I tried deleting the 3rd library from iPhoto Manager (I still have the photos elsewhere), but that didn’t help.
    When I go into my users folder, I find this same Pictures Package with its new sort of icon and right beneath it I find a folder called "Pictures_" Inside the "Pictures_" folder I find exactly what used to be in my Pictures Folder.
    In the new Pictures package (which I view by rIght clicking on it & selecting show contents option) I found all my iPhoto libraries and files that used to be in the Pictures folder (when it was under PLACES) plus 8 more items. They are: AlbumData.xml; iPhoto.ipspot; Library.data; 3 folders - Data, Modified & Originals; and Library.iPhoto & Library6.iPhoto – which look like two new iPhoto Libraries, and when I click on either of them, my iPhoto Library opens up, but when I get info on them, they are tiny (4KB & 2.7 MB) as opposed to my actual library (30.44 GB)
    There is only one item that did not copy over to the new package. In Pictures_ there is a folder called ‘Contents’ but the only thing it contains is a 4KB plaintext document called “Pkginfo.”
    I tried to search through the Discussions for an answer to my problem before posting, and the closest I came was "Photo library problem" Posted by Simon: Jun 30, 2008 8:04 PM. My first question is the same as Simon's:
    How can I return the 'package' to a folder, so I can open it and point iPhoto to my library(s) inside?
    Here is LN's response: "RIght click on your "new" package and select the show contents option - find the iPhoto library and drag it to the root level of the External Hard drive -- You should now be able to point iPhoto to it."
    As a novice, I need to ask for clarification. How exactly does one "drag it to the root level of the External Hard drive?" That is to say, where is the root level of the External Hard drive, how can I find it??
    Also, is this the right solution for me, given as I have multiple iPhoto libraries in this "package"? Would I have to drag both my iPhoto Libraries to the root level? And can I delete the new Library.iPhoto & Library6.iPhoto (tiny files that look like two new iPhoto Libraries) which were created?
    OR in my case, should I delete the package and put the Pictures_ folder in its' place? I'm not sure this is possible. I tried to put the pictures package in the trash (since I still have Pictures_) but I get a message, “”Pictures can’t be modified or deleted because it is required by Mac OS X.”
    What is a package, anyway? How does it compare to a folder?
    Any help would be truly, truly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance

    If I'm understanding your problem, your normal Pictures folder has turned into non-openable bundle which the Finder sees as a file, so when you double click the Pictures icon instead of the folder opening the Finder asks you what application you want to use to open the "file"--many applications are structured this way, and so is the iPhoto Library itself in the newest version of iPhoto. And you can't trash Pictures because in Leopard a special sort of permissions was added to it by Apple to prevent people accidently trashing important stuff, like their pictures.
    I know you can reset the bundle bit using Terminal if you have Developer Tools installed, not sure if Apple added that command to the default set of Terminal commands in Leopard. You can get the commands you need here if you didn't install Developer Tools:
    http://homepage.mac.com/francines/.Public/getsetfile.zip
    Unzip the file and you will have a folder with two files in it. Try the first to see if it works, this example assumes that the zip file went to your home Downloads folder.
    1. Open Terminal by double clicking it, it is in your Utilities folder
    2. Now open the unzipped folder and drag and drop the GetFileInfo file into the Terminal
    3. Next open your home folder and then drag and drop Pictures into the Terminal (you must use the Pictures that displays when the home folder is open, NOT the one in the Sidebar)
    4. Hit return and you will something like this:
    NoobiX:~ francine$ /Users/francine/Downloads/getsetfile/GetFileInfo /Users/francine/Pictures
    directory: "/Users/francine/Pictures"
    attributes: avBstClinmedz
    created: 11/07/2007 16:36:43
    modified: 08/31/2008 01:34:46
    I suspect the attributes will show a capital letter "B" as in the example above, instead of the lower case b which is normal. If that is true, then the bundle bit has been set. To reset it drag the SetFile command into the Terminal, drop it, then type
    -a b
    followed by a space, and drag the Pictures file into Terminal and drop it and press Return. The Terminal will look something like this:
    NoobiX:~ francine$ /Users/francine/Downloads/getsetfile/SetFile -a b /Users/francine/Pictures
    The Pictures folder will now be a folder again. Where my example shows the name of my computer, and my user name, yours should show your user name and something other than "NoobiX" for your computer.

  • Help with GRAPH Marker Design Tutorial

    I am trying to create a custom marker design for a line chart (Using Illustrator CS3). I've followed all the steps in the HELP RESOURCE CENTER, but I can not get my marker to size any larger than the initial itty-bitty-square it creates. According to HELP, you can size your artwork larger than the initial marker square you copy and build the art over. That the design is scaled so that the backmost rectangle in the design is the same as the default square marker.
    I've built it all in the proper order. But when I go to apply my new custom marker design, it is all sized DOWN to fit in the default square marker space.
    Anyone out there with experience in customizing?

    To add a detail: the marker box will always 6 pt square, no matter how big or small your designed marker is. So, to create a new marker design, simply draw the design as big or small as you want; position it in relation to the orig 6 pt square [which is always backmost].
    I found this clarification with step-by-step instructions in this pdf document:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/adobemag/archive/pdfs/9611qaai.pdf
    When you save your marker design in the graph dialogue box, only the portion of your design that falls WITHIN the 6 pt square is previewed; but your entire design will show up when you apply it.
    Hope this saves a bit of frustration!

  • Help with Packages in JCreator LE

    Hello,
    I'm new to Java and having problems splitting a program into packages.
    I have 6 files, 5 containing class definitions and sub classes, and one which holds the main method. They compile and run fine when all in the same directory.
    In an effort to try out packages, I copied the 5 .class files to a sub folder of the folder with the main() method in. I then pointed the Project Properties > Required Libraries to that folder containing the .class files.
    At the moment when I compile the programme it can't find any of the classes (they are all declared as public) and they dont appear in the package view. I'm messing around with the import statement at the top of main(). However i'm unsure how to point JCreator to the classes.
    If they matched the directory structure they would be in Java.programs.polymorph.Animals
    but that doesn't work.
    Any help to push me in the right direction greatly appreciated.

  • Help with Coherence EntryProcessor design

    Hi Gurus,
    We are in the process of designing our End Of Day Trade processing application on Coherence 3.7.1, the use case is as under
    1. Trades coming through JMS channels are split in to Parent Trade + Child SubTrades, these trades and subtrades are placed in to their respective cache, collocated by Key Affinity.
    2. We want to use Entry Processors to process each type of SubTrade and update the Parent Trade (An EntryProcessor per SubTrade Type).
    3. Once all SubTrades are processed, The Trade reaches the Completed State and should be Audited and removed from the cache with all its SubTrades.
    The EntryProcessors are working fine on preloaded Cache, Can you Gurus please verify the approach and please advise us how to extend it further for Trades being added to the cache after the invocation of the EntryProcessors, i.e we want to call these processors recursively. Is there a way to know when all EntryProcessors has completed so a new Execution for the same can be initiated, we want to avoid a number of event processors lined up unnecessarily.
    Regards

    They probably liked your style ( on the green logo ) and want to incorporate it into their packaging.  You should be honest and tell them you do not have any experience.  They'll probably bring you in at "entry level" so they can groom you to their corporate culture.  You'll probably be working under a senior designer and will probably spend a few months learning how things are done.  I'd imagine you'll need some basic knowledge of Illustrator and Photoshop, if not some intermediate level capabilities with both programs.
    Now, if you want to impress them, find a current package the company had produced in the last few years.  Pull it apart and get it to lie flat.  Re-create the entire piece using Illustrator.  This will include a spot layer with dies.  Focus on improving the design and look of the piece, but make sure you do not copy what has already been done.  Come up with something original and incorporate your version of the "green" logo.  It does not have to be anything out-of-sight, but shows you know the company, you know how to improve the existing packaging out there, and you'll show initiate.  They'll probably never use it ( like your "green" logo, but will get you the job ).
    This will take you some time.  I do not know of any web tutorials, but both Illustrator and Photoshop come with a few.  You could also go to a local bookstore and take alook at what they have in their "graphic design" section.  Some books come with a CD that has some templates and files you can take a look at.
    There must be a void they're looking to fill, otherwise you'd never get the interview.  Don't get too stressed out trying to impress them.  They're already impressed.  But, if you "claim" to know it all in software, you'll be doing yourself a huge injustice.  Talent does not come in a box.  Sounds like they're willing to get you started, so go for it.

  • Begginer needing help with "package" word

    Hi,
    I'm a Java newbie and I'm trying to get comfortable with programming in Java on my Mac (running Mac OS 10.3).
    I found some sample code that I'm testing out at:
    http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2001/08/03/osx_java.html?page=1
    but I'm having problems using the reserved word "package".
    at the time of each .java file the sample code has:
    package NineSquares;When I compile this in the Terminal window using the command
    javac NineSquares.java
    javac MainFrame.java
    javac EachSquare.javaI get the following error message:
    NineSquares.java:8: cannot resolve symbol
    symbol : class MainFrame
    location: class NineSquares.NineSquares
    new MainFrame();
    ^
    1 error
    David-Salvays-Computer:~/introcs/Project2 davidsalvay$
    when I comment out the package line it compiles fine.
    I don't understand what package means and how I use it. BTW, all my .java files are in the same folder and I've already set the classpath to the file containing my main method (NineSquares.java).
    Any help/suggestions/ideas will be much appreciated!

    1. package is always declared first in a class definition.
    2. If you've got a class foobar, and that class is in package x.y.z, then the .class file needs to be in a file foobar.class under the directory hierarchy x\y\z\foobar.class, and where the directory above x is in the classpath.
    3. The official name of that class is x.y.z.foobar. You can import it using import x.y.z.*; or import x.y.z.foobar; Import just lets you use the class without having to always write x.y.z
