How do I get a chipped stone treatment on logo?

I am not a pro in Illustrator, but I have some experience over the years. Hopefully this is the right place to ask?
Anyways, I was wondering what would be the best way to achieve a certain look. I am trying to mimic the chiped stone look of older Legend of Zelda logos. I know I wont be able to hit the same level of detail, but somethign similair. I havent tried anything yet, but was just trying to get some general direction. I know I can do some stone textures, but what I am not sure on is the best and most effecient way to get those chips, and the roughed up white line edges. That all folow a sort of directional light and shading.
I am using CS6.
Thanks for any suggestions

I've done some similar type artwork complete with bevels, highlights, and shadows.  I only used Illustrator for the outlines and original size.  Then I opened the artwork in Photoshop and applied many of the effects there.  One thing that I would advise is keeping notes of the settings you use along the way, so you keep the look and feel consistent.  For my particular project, I created the artwork 2x the size of output.  So, for instance, if the artwork is, say 11x14 finished size, do the original 22x28.  But beware, some effects do not need high resolution.  For instance, some roughen and noise is done better at a low resolution to enhance the grunge effect.  So, you need to decide how rough the artwork will be done, how grainy a texture, etc. Perhaps the 11x14 at 300ppi would be appropriate if the artwork is to be enlarged in the future.  If the file will reproduce at 5.5x7 @ 300ppi, then the 11x14 can be done at 150ppi, or the 22x28 at 75ppi.  I guess it depends on your final output.  The artwork you show in your screen grab is not a logo, but is an illustration.  Big difference.  Most logos are simple and are vector based. Illustrations are much more complex and time consuming and are bitmap based.  Hope this helps, looks like a nice project.  Good luck and post the piece when you are done so we can see it.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    If I have understood you properly, to do that, you have to create a new administrator user with your name and for your uses. Follow these steps:
    1. Open System Preferences > Users & Groups, and press the + button to create a new administrator account.
    2. When you have finished creating that user, open  > Log Out, and log in your new user.
    3. Open System Preferences > Users & Groups, select the old user and press the - button to remove the user. If you want, you can select the option to remove the Home folder of this user, so you will only have the Home folder for your account

  • How do I get pictures .tdb file sd micro chip  taken on samsung att 3g phone.?

    elements 8 does not open  .tdb files from micro sd in pc , pictures taken camera phone samsung  att 3g.  how do I get pics?

    I've had almost every issue you've had.  Finally on Friday the screen blacked out.  It was obviously still charged, since I could hear the message ring, but when I tried to light up the display it didn't light so I was unable to get to it unless I removed the battery.  Then, as soon as the display timed out, I couldn't get it lit up again without removing battery.  I had the same slow movements throughout the display as well as slow text messaging.  Every issue you had other than the alarm clock (that always worked well).
    I took it in yesterday and, after over an hour spent there with a 'professional', I still had no answers.  He told me to come home and copy everything from my sd card to my computer, then re-format my card.  Well, my phone didn't even recognize that I had an sd card installed!!  Nor did my computer! 
    So then I got to experimenting...I removed the card and viola!!!!!!  The phone worked GREAT!  It's never worked so fast!  I then installed my husbands sd card to see if it was my phone's card reader or my card.  Turns out that the phone still worked great with his card installed and it did recognize his card in my phone.  So, my conclusion is that I need a new card.  I couldn't believe the difference in speed of everything!  It's like a brand new phone! 
    As for the hard reset...I did that over the weekend, before I could get to a verizon store.  It didn't work at all.
    I'd say, do the same thing I did and see if that works.  Can't hurt!!!  Please keep me posted.  I'd like to see what you find out 
    Good Luck!!!!

    Your WiFi chip has failed.  You'll need to bring your phone (and $199 if outside your warranty period) to Apple for replacement.

  • How do I get my iPod to talk with my iMac using FaceTime?

    I know it's going to be something annoyingly obvious, BUT, how do I get my iPod to talk with my iMac using FaceTime? Both appear to work just fine with other emails, have made calls out to others using email addresses with both the iPod and the iMac. Have recieved calls from others on both iPod and iMac using phone numbers and email addresses. Just can't call my self as it were. Both the iPod and the iMac use the same email address, is this my problem? How do I get it work? (it's for my daughter so she can talk and see her mother when she under goes cancer treatment).

    Yes, having the same FT calling email address is the problem. It like trying to make a phone call to your your phone from your phone.
    On one device add another email address for FT and then uncheck or delete the Apple ID email address the Apple ID call email adddress on the device.
    On the iPod go to SettingsFaceTime>You can be Reached At

  • I reset Firefox to speed up my browser and I got almost everything back that I car4ed about but my Adobe X Pro PDF button, how do I get that back?

    Using Windows 7 Professional and Firefox Browser 34.0. I reset my browser to speed it up and got everything that I use but my Adobe X PDF button. The plug-in Adobe Acrobat 11.0.10.32 is there, but there is no way to get the button. Anyone have any ideas as to how I can get my button back? I tried the PDF add-ins from the add-ins page, but they are not what I am looking for. With the button I had, I was able to make PDF's of the webpage I was on and add to the PDF from a drop-down menu.

    You don't say what OS version you have. Upgrading my 2.2G C2D MacBook Pro to Snow Leopard from 10.5 was the biggest speed boost it's had. US$29 well-spent! Part of that was the effect of a new (or fresh install of an older) OS. You can find a lot of info on how to keep much of the new-install "freshness" in performance in this list of OSX articles:
    http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/faqs.html
    Focus on articles with "maintain" or "maintenance" in the titles. Also look for articles there dealing with caches. A 2G cache file can slow things down and indicates your computer needs some maintenance that you can do without seeking professional help.
    As for RAM, advising you to add RAM is hard without knowing your MBP exact model. The first C2Ds could "hold" 4 GB but only addressed 3.2G. The second generation of the C2D "officially" accepted and addressed 4GB of RAM but, with RAM modules developed subsequent to Apple engraving the specs in stone, can actually use a total of 6GB. Those models both have silver keys. The later Unibodies can handle even more.
    So....do "About this Mac..." from your Apple menu and, in the resulting window, click the "More info..." button. That launches System Profiler. The first Profiler screen will very precisely ID your MBP:
    The second line is "Machine Identifier." If that code is "MacBookPro2,1," 3G is your RAM limit. If the code ends in 3,1 or 4,1, your actual limit is 6G. If it is 5,1 or higher, you can do at least 8G. Let us know that Machine Id ncode and we can suggest the proper RAM upgrade.
    Doing the maintenance suggested in the list of articles is a better place to start than spending money. IF those steps don;t get yo uan improvement, then consider the pay-for options.

    And it kills me that a friend who has pc computers and just has an iphone and ipad can breeze through all this with no problem and he still has XP.  So Apple goes back and helps old OS for pc but not for it's own kind!!!
    Richard, I agree with you 1,000%. I wrote this in a forum a few weeks ago, when a user was complaining about Snow Leopard not supporting iCloud:
    Why is it that if I bought a Mac before July of this year, I must pay to upgrade my operating system in order to take advantage of iCloud? Meanwhile, a Windows Vista SP2 user, who bought a new computer in May 2009, already has everything they need on their computer to use iCloud.
    Why was it possible for Apple to write a free iCloud Control Panel that was compatible with existing versions of Windows, but Mac users must buy an entirely new operating system?
    If Apple gave Mac users the same amount of backwards compatibility that it gives to Windows users, people with OSX 10.5 (Leopard) would be able to use iCloud. That's something to think about the next time you go to purchase a new computer.
    (P.S. Something else to think about: If you bought a Mac before October 2007 (when OSX 10.5 was introduced), your computer won't run iTunes 10.5 unless you buy an upgrade. But a PC user, who purchased their computer as long ago as Sept. 2004(!), can run iTunes without an OS upgrade.)
    I got so angry thinking about this, that I ended up writing an angry note to Apple on their feedback page. After repeating what I just wrote here, I asked them to commit to providing at least the same level of support to Mac users that they do for PC users when it comes to their cross platform products (iPhone, iPad, iCloud, Apple TV, Safari, iTunes, etc.) And, really, is that so much to ask?
    I wish I knew how to start a petition requesting that Mac users get comparable treatment as PC users. But then again, shouldn't that go without saying?
    Please leave feedback about this revolting double standard on the Apple feedback page. They should be thinking long and hard about why their own customers are treated worse than the customers of their competition.

  • HT204324 Wi-FI address blank in general and about on apple iphone4s.  How do I get it Back?

    On apple iphone4s I can go to settings, general and then about.  Scroll down to WI-FI Address and it is blank.  There was an address there before.  WI-FI doesn't work now. What happened to it and how do I get it back?  Have tried resetting the phone.  Did not work.

    Try the suggestions here to see if they resolve your problem:

    If those solutions don't work your iPhone 4s has developed a hardware problem. The permanent solution is to get it replaced.
    You can search the internet for heating and freezing solutions that might work (at least for a while).
    For example, see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nj10bz5bI6A
    Root cause: On some iPhone 4s devices there may be a flow soldering problem with the WiFi chip. After long periods of WiFi activity such as installing an iOS update (for example, iOS 7 or iOS 8) there may be a connection failure. A work-around to this is the procedure in the youTube video.
