How to make a logo look distressed

Attached is a vector logo a client supplied to me. I'm trying to achieve the same distressed look for a logo that I will be having a stamp made from. What is the best way to go about this.

Thanks!

As a novice, some things I see: The footer has redundant, unecessary images (4 large images-for your services--REDUNDANT) odd? The text part of footer: text seems close, scrunched, have some space between heading and items, DO NOT CENTER TEXT!,
One of the service links bought to page with SAME LARGE image on homepage-change picture, don't use same large image for 2 different pages.
DO NOT use CONTACT US as 1 of 5 links on menubar. Do in another creative way, and/or use footer for contact. I think this looks amateurish (my opinion of course).
If I remember, the homepage and the rest of site, have exact same page structure.--See if you can atleast change the structure of inner pages versus the homepage.
Didn't look at enough, but..maybe...
each of your services should be a main menu link on your menubar. I would not put contact us on menubar, and you also had another menubar link with no dropdown( of course ok, but maybe could restructure)--Also your last service (on right of menubar)---why is that one different, and not included with the other services??
Seems like your menubar (items) structure could be reworked.--I would suggest, briefly looking at, to maybe have each service as a primary menu heading/title..YOU MAY NOT NEED A DROPDOWN MENU? Make sure if dropdown it is necessary.
Local security should be one of your services.
Have your footer logo, as is to left, but maybe put your footer links more to the right;;It will 'balance' the footer section
Your top logo seems too close to your main LARGE image (Which btw, seems oddly large compared to the rest of your site?)--That LARGE top image(the same palce on every same looking page), seems too big for your page--Why doen't it line up with the rest off your page content?

How to make the video looks greenish ?

Hi there,
Can I know how to make a video looks bit greenish ?
Thanks

Thanks Karsten,
Can I know, if I have about 60 cuts on the timeline and I want all the 60 cuts to be greenish, how do I apply to all at one go (instead of having to do one by one for 60 times !) ?
Thanks again

Publishing .index Vs .swf How to make my file look like the .swf Question

Hi, I currenly have a site published where the domain is reading
www.mysite.com/index.html (example)
When I view this site the image is not centered and when I expand it in different browers it does not look good.
When I view the site by looking at it through the exact location of where I have the flash, for example www.mysite.com/index.swf It's exactly how I want it to look.
Is there a code I can put into the html where I can have the same look as the .swf but view it with the .index.html
For example when I am testing the .swf extension and change the size of the browers or expand it, the flash movie is always centered and looks great in every brower.
I was thinking of changing the domains link to the .swf file to solve the issue, but is by having the .html extension provide greater serach information. What is it nessary?

You seem to be confusing the .swf file with the Web page that the .swf file goes on. For Internet delivery you want the index.html web page.
You can "Publish" the page directly from Flash. Under the "File" menu, look for Publish Settings and review ALL the options before "Publishing" the swf.
If you don't understand them, Google for that specific option.
Also review "Flash scaling"
Here are examples of different scaling parameters available in the Publish settings. You can also add these parameters directly in the html (<param name="scale" value="noscale"). All the examples replace the actual Flash dimensions with 100% for both width and height (width="100%" height="100%"). These examples use the old <object> and <embed> to illustrate the different ways to scale Flash. Once you understand how it works I’d recommend that you use swfobject to place the Flash in your final project.
View the source code for each page to see the full code.
http://www.cidigitalmedia.com/tutorials/scale/exact_fit.html
"exactFit" scales the file to fit exactly within the confines of the screen, irregardless if the movie becomes consequently distorted. The original aspect ratio is not maintained. So round things are not round and squares are not square.
http://www.cidigitalmedia.com/tutorials/scale/noScale.html
"noScale" is the default setting, and causes the movie to be displayed at the originally designed dimensions.
http://www.cidigitalmedia.com/tutorials/scale/no_border.html
"noBorder" causes the movie to be scaled to what ever dimensions are needed to have no border surrounding the movie within the player, which consequently could result in some of the movie being cut off from view. In other words, the movie will maintain the original aspect ratio and will fill the screen completely. But if the movie has to be streched wider to fill both sides of the screen, it will also stretch taller, but then some of the top and the bottom of the movie may be cut off from view.
http://www.cidigitalmedia.com/tutorials/scale/show_all.html
"showAll" scales the movie to the size of the screen (which could cause pixelation if the file contains raster information), the difference between showAll and exactFit is that showAll mantains initial movie size proportions. Because it maintains the original aspect ratio, there can be space to the sides or the top and bottom. But everything always shows and they are not distorted. But notice the photo in the center, it becomes pixilated at larger screen resolutions.
The trickiest part of trying to go full screen is that it’s difficult to make the Flash wider without making it taller also, that is, to maintain the correct proportions or aspect ratio of everything on the stage. These methods are just simple scaling accomplished with html. There are also methods to dynamically scale the stage and it’s elements using Actionscript… but that’s a much more complex undertaking.
Best wishes,

How to make my websites look good in iPhone and iPad?

I have problem to make my website in iWeb look good in webbrowsers in iPhone or iPad... The background (JPEG-file)are dublicating several times!
But that's not a problem for all my different sides, thou it was build in the same way. Here's the site (try to looka at it in a webbrowswer in any handheld
divice): http://www.clavius.se

That's the way Mobile Safari handles backgrounds.
Why not use a normal background with proper text boxes.
Anyway, remove your background in iWeb and paste this code in a HTML Snippet :
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

</script>
where the background file (entresida.jpg) is OUTSIDE the Site folder iWeb creates.
BTW, here's how I make iPad friendly websites with iWeb :

How to make new Firefox look like old Firefox?

I was looking at the new version of Firefox and really don't like how it looks. If I update to it is there a way to make Firefox look like the old one? 3.6.24 is the version I'm using now, and I really like how it looks.

To restore the old appearance right click the orange Firefox button to open the toolbar context menu or use (F10) View > Toolbars.
* Click the Menu Bar entry and place a check-mark to make the Menu Bar visible all the time (Windows and Linux).
* Click "Tabs on Top" to remove the check mark and place the Tab Bar at its original position just above the browser window.

How to make a shape look like paint?

Hi,
Hope you're doing well.
As you'll see in the attached picture, I'm trying to make this bottle look like a bowling ball. I've drawn the two red stripes and think they work pretty well but still look very "photoshopped." Anyone have any suggestions as to how to make it look more realistic but still good looking?
Thanks very much.

Do you have any suggestions as to how I could create a nicer white background like they have in many stock photos. I've attached one that is like what I'd like to create.
Thanks!

How to make an embroidered looking logo in Photoshop?

Hello,
I need to know how I can turn in a logo into a realistic looking embroidery logo.
I have got an example of the result I am looking for:
Thanks a lot!

dennbern wrote:
I would advise against using photoshop (or other raster image software) for a logo, you also don't want too much detail like an embroidery texture in a logo.
I assume the threadstarter has a vectorized version of the logo and wants to apply it on some kind of clothing/merchandise for preview.
PS is not tol of the trade for editing vector, which a logo should be. You're ofc right on that.
I did something very similar a few days ago to preview our agencys running jerseys we want to have printed. Works fine.

How to make 3D object look like it's spinning?

I am creating a logo and the client wants the cylindrical shape with tire treads on it look like it's spinning. I've created a 3D cylinder and mapped the tire tread artwork onto it, but can't seem to figure out a way to make it 'look' like it's spinning. I've tried a little bit of a shadow to the treads (slightly darker color) and also tried to copy/paste some additional treads just slightly off on the x value (making the additional treads darker as they 'step down'). Not sure if < that description makes sense, but I'm just not quite sure how to accomplish this. Any ideas? I'm currently working in Illustrator CS6.

Since you're talking "3D", I assume you're not trying to make a black and white logo.
I would suggest creating a blend between 2 instances of your tread symbol. Set one of the symbols to "0%" opaque (transparent). The resulting blend will give a blur effect (you can play with the number of steps in the blend).
Now make this blend into a symbol and map it to your 3D cylinder.
There are many other ways to approach a "motion" effect. Among them are:
1. Creating a gradient from solid to transparent and filling some "swooshes" over the tire tread.
2. Using a raster blur effect. AI does not have a motion blur, per se, but you can mimic it using the radial blur and offsetting the blur center to a corner.
Someone else may have a better idea.
Hope these help.
Ok, I played around a bit. Here is one way to make a motion blur in AI (since there is not "motion blur" filter).
Please note the single anchor point near the top. This is required, to force the Radial blur filter to work more like a motion blur.
Here's another approach:
The blur effect is created by building an art brush created by blending 2 rectangles together. The bottom rectangles is set to transparent, giving the brush more versatility.
This is another Illustrator "work-around" because gradients cannot be used in a brush. I suggest keeping your original brush artwork in a "Symbol" so you can edit the brush using the original blends. If you simply drag the brush onto the artboard, you'll find the blend has been expanded into multiple rectangles.

How to make a photograph look like a hand drawn cartoon in Photoshop or illustrator?

Hi all-
I'm taking a childrens book writing and illustrating class and my illustrating skills are nil. I want the photos to look like a "Cartoon" and want to create the pictures for the book but not sure which filters work best for this effect.
Would prefer it to look like a child outlined the picture and then colored in between the lines. Picture is of a dog and girl.
Any help is greatly appreciated. I know basics of the filters and don't want to just slap any effect on it.
Thanks so much in advance if anyone has any great ideas.

kristin,
My initial thought would be to take advantage the vector outlines and color fills of Illustrator would make that an easier choice. It's also easier to edit cleanly. Use photos as a template underlay and draw on top of them. But, it'll look too slick.
Or in Photoshop, it's gonna depend upon how well the photographs were taken. I looked at the Fresco, Poster Edges, Sprayed Strokes, and Watercolor, etc., etc. The effects are nice, but, again, way too sophisticated for a child's hand.
>Would prefer it to look like a child outlined the picture and then colored in between the lines.
Which brings me to what may be the best choice. Pick up a box of Crayolas and some good vellum paper (from an art supply store) and trace the photo. Outline in black, and color in the rest. Get a child to do it, if you want realism.
Seriously.
Neil
