How to get this logo and effects in Illustrator?
Hi Guys,
I would like to design a logo that has similar effects (3D, bevel, shape, stroke, ...) effects like the "Circus Baroness" on the poster below. How do I get this in Illustrator?
Many thanks!
Bob
It can be done. The basic warped shapes of the text can easily be done in Illustrator with Envelope Distort.
1.) Type out "BARONESS" in a circus-like font. Then draw a rectangle that is a bit larger than that. Use the Anchor Point Tool to pull in the top and bottom of the rectangle a bit to form a concave shape. Align the "BARONESS" text and the concave rectangle shape so they are centered vertically and horizontally, the shape should be overlapping the text. With both items selected, go to Object > Envelope Distort > Make With Top Object. That will warp the text to the rectangle shape. You can release the text from this shape at any time by going back under Envelope Distort and choosing Release. Or you can choose Object > Expand to make the warp permanent.
2.) For the "CIRCUS" part, draw a rectangle approximately the length of the "BARONESS" text. Type out the "CIRCUS" text and center it over top of the rectangle. Draw two stars with the Star Tool and position them to the left and right of "CIRCUS". Select all of these and group them. Then go under Object > Envelope Distort > Make With Warp > and choose "Arc". You can adjust the Arc settings to your liking. Similarly, you can choose Object > Expand to make these permanent.
From there, you would just need to play around with the Appearance Panel to add a stroke and fill color, and play with the Shadow & Glow effects to approximate a beveled look. I would look up some tutorials on how to achieve a beveled look using the Appearance Panel. It's kind of like equivalent of Layer Styles in Photoshop, but it also functions a little differently. Some effects you could do more easily in Photoshop take a few more steps in Illustrator.

How to get an oil painting effect using Illustrator
I am looking to do something similiar to this in Illustrator.http://www.oilpaintings-sales.com/oil-paintings/michelangelo-buonarroti-genesis-the-fall-a nd-expulsion-from-paradise-the-original-sin-79148.html
How do you blend the colors in the body for the shadows and the muscles, etc.. I created an outline of the image, and I could start by using a gradient mesh but using a gradient mesh means it gets too complex and we have to create the mesh in the shape of the body which makes the coloring more difficult and probably isn't the right way to do it.If I wanted to create a similar image can someone tell me about how to do the coloring for this. I know how to get the color palettes right and the shadows but, the main problem I'm facing is blending in the different shadows created on the body with the skin tone. I don't mind spending hours using a gradient mesh to color this but I still think I'll face the problem I just mentioned.
If anyone can help me out it is appreciated, please try to elaborate on the details so I get a better understanding.
Thanks.Well, basically you lay down a base g-mesh (A). You get tones and shades close with general lighting in mind. Then you can lay down an additional layer of color or additional g-meshes for further showign and highlights. (B) when these are combined you get more dramatic tones (C) that are more easily tweaked and adjusted. In addition, using the Appearance Panel you can also add fills to apply textures (D)
Essentially for me, I find laying down a mid-range color base is best. Then I can add dark and light objects on top of that base to alter lighting further. Trying to get lighting perfect in one pass is expectionally difficult in any medium - traditional or digital (except 3d software).

There was an error opening the database for the library “/Users/stacia134/Pictures/Aperture Library.aplibrary”. Why am I getting this message and how do I correct it so that I can open Aperture???? any suggestions would be most appreciated
Then I'd check the system drive, if it has problems.
To check your System drive boot into the Recovery Partition, see: OS X Lion: About Lion Recovery
Restart your Mac and hold down the Command key and the R key (Command-R), and keep holding them until the Apple icon appears, indicating that your Mac is starting up.
You will see a panel, where you can use Disk Utility to check your System Drive. -

When ordering a project I'm getting a message " an error occurred while contacting the Apple online store. Please try again" Can anyone please tell me why I might be getting this message and how to fix the problem. Thank you
I've got the same problem.
It wasn't the case before the upgrade to v 9.2 (Iphoto 11) yesterday.
The previous solution preferences - advanced - "select a store" (last option) doesn't solve it anymore.
Thanks! -

This doesn't work in Windows 8. Anybody know how to get this dialog box in Windows 8?
Hello,
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

Particle effect -how to achieve this kind of effect exactly
Hello please help me to achieve this type of flickering particle effect. how to achieve this in After effect which is shown at 0.8 sec to 0.11 in the attached link video. http://www.istockphoto.com/stock-video-2682258-hearts.php
I can't give you the exact settings but you could use Trapcode Particular with a custom particle or CC Particle world. Just turn gravity to 0 and set up a custom particle.
Your particle layer will be behind the spinning hearts layer. This should get you going in the right direction.
