Manga-like screens in Illustrator 8. How to create?

Howdy everybody,
OK here is a question to test your collective knowledge...
I received an internal request at work to create a brochure that had the look of a "Manga" comic book.
So in doing my research I see alot of Japanese illustrators used to use those sticky "bendai screens" also made by Letra type once-upon-a-time.
So, my question is this...
1.1 Illustrator MUST have a feature in it to create such screened backgrounds. right? Where is it, and how would I use it?
1.2 Or do I need to acquire a specific plug-in or filter?
1.3 Would anyone know of any links on the web I can follow up on?
Thanks to all who respond, much appreciated.

Well, there is Effect->pixelate->halftone screen. It's one of the slower effects, but it would remain live and editable. Or you could use the dot patterns included as swatches, Window->Swatch Libraries->Other Library... Then navigate over to your Illy folder and (in cs2 at least) they can be found in Presets->Patterns->Basic Graphics->Basic Graphics_Dots.ai
Once you have those dot patterns loaded, drag on of them from the swatch palette onto your artboard and take a look at how the pattern swatch is made. You can likely find what you need in a pattern swatch.

  • How to create namespace in BPA?

    I generate BPEL process from BPA blueprint, but it have default namespace like "http://xmlns.oracle.com/",how to create specified namespace in BPA?

    Here is a small example if you want to use FOR loop in your rtf template:
    ****************START*****************
    <?START:BODY?>
    COLUMN1 COLUMN2 COLUMN3
    <?FOR-EACH:GROUP_NAME?>
    VALUE1 VALUE2 VALUE3
    <END FOR-EACH?>

    *****************END*******************
    NOTE: Consider COLUMN1 as column name like NAME, ID etc. of your table and VALUE1 (before generating preview) as the blank row of table (after generating preview) you'll get values of the respective columns extracting out of that FOR loop.
    After loading your XML data into respective fields you'll get all the rows returned from that FOR loop.

    How can I get an image from the screen? Like screen printer in PC to pasting after in word or other program.

    If you do Cmd+Shift+3 you'll get a full screen image saved to your desktop as a jpg file.
    Also, you can use Cmd+Shift+4 and you'll get a cursor which you click+drag to draw a box. When you release the drag the boxed in area will be saved to the Desktop as a jpg file.

  • I would like to change "Windows" to "Windows HD" on boot screen (option key). How can I do that?

    I would like to change "Windows" to "Windows HD" on boot screen (option key). How can I do that?
    I would like to have the following names on boot screen:
    OS X Lion HD
    Windows HD
    Recovery HD
    Thanks in Advance

    Hello Fortuny,
    thanks for helping, although your suggestion does not work.
    Renaming c: partition (bootcamp c:) to (Windows HD), does not change the name "WIndows" on boot option.
    Your suggestion only applies if changing OS X Lion name on boot option using finder, which I already did in first place. My problem applies only in changing the word "Windows"on boot screen (option key).

  • How do I create & edit a pattern like this in Illustrator?

    I want to know how to create and edit a pattern like this in Illustrator:
    And then be able to do this:
    (same pattern with blue square effect)
    Any advice would be appreciated.

    Read up on creating patterns. This one is just simple lines and very easy to do, but remember that the defining rectangle MUST be at the very back of the stack:
    Start off by making your pattern tile (top). Drag the drawing to the Swatches panel.
    Fill a rectangle with the pattern. Scale and rotate the pattern fill (see Scale and Rotate dialogues).
    Recolour the pattern using Edit > Edit Colors > Recolor Artwork

  • After updating to mavericks on my MacBook, the screen keeps saying "setting up your mac." It has been like this for hours! How can I make it go faster?

    After updating to mavericks on my MacBook, the screen keeps saying "setting up your mac." It has been like this for hours! How can I make it go faster? It's has been like this for 4 hrs.

    I don't think your mac is setting up. It's stuck.
    I would:
    hold the power button until it shuts down
    unplug all peripherals
    do a safe boot (restart and hold down the shift key until you see the apple logo).
    If it starts up in a safe boot, then you can try restarting with a normal boot.
    If it does not start with a normal boot, then you probably have some incompatible third party software. Likely culprits are:
    MacKeeper
    CleanMyMac
    third-party antivirus software
    any other "cleaning" or "optimizing" or similar third party "utilities".
    A good place to start would be to uninstall any of those (while in safe mode) and then restart.

  • How to create gift card template in Illustrator?

    I'm trying to create a gift card in Illustrator. When I initally create new document under "File", I set the width to 3.5" and height 2.25" and the top, bottom, left and right bleed to .125". There wasn't an option to preset the radius of corners for the gift card. The gift card appears square in the document like a business card. How do I create the rounded corners of gift card in Adobe Illustrator CS5 (PC)? Lastly how far do I inset the dash line where text (or QR code) will be positioned? I wish to be able to save gift card document as a template for future projects.

    Double click on the layer in an area of that layer which is not occupied by info to the right of name.
    this dialog appears check Template if it is not already selected and that automatically makesi  non printing but you can not work on that layer.
    You can also uncheck printing the layer will not print but you cans ill work on it.
    Hrre is the rounded rectangle tool.
    select the rounded rectangle tool  and double click on the document (artbaord ) to bring up the dialog and enter te dimensions of the card and the radius corners.
    Now you us ehe align panel or the align icons in the control panel to align the rounded rectangle to your artboard using he option to align to artboard.
    Now the video shoul have filled your screen unless ou are using a low resolution for your monitor.
    Bu more important you should read help files about creating documents using the various tools and the various panels and either take a course in using Illustrator or read some books on the subject.
    The Real World Illustrator book by Mordy Goldin is a good one.
    But it is going to very frustrating if you have noi working knowledge of the application.

  • Hey guys, my screen is dead. How do I get a new one?

    I looked on eBay and found a bunch of displays, but there are so many, I don't know which one to get!
    so I need a little help identifying my mac or the part number, if possible. I think it's a Macbook l,l.

    Re: Hey guys, my screen is dead. How do I get a new one?
    You buy one and install it or you pay an installer to do it.
    I looked on eBay and found a bunch of displays, but there are so many, I don't know which one to get!
    Are you confident (in that case) that you can do the repair yourself? Perhaps you should let a professional select a screen and install it for you.
    Laptop parts all have a part number - you should start there. Here is a typical part number location: http://www.screentekinc.com/lcd-removal-instructions_en,macbook,diagram3.shtml
    Try speaking to a repair shop like techrestore, for example, for further details - http://www.techrestore.com/xcart/home.php?cat=273
    I need a little help identifying my mac or the part number, if possible. I think it's a Macbook l,l.
    All 13" Mac Books have the same screen which measures 13" diagonally. If you need to examine other size/era Apple notebooks look here http://www.apple.com/support/hardware/
    If you can plug an external display into it then click the top left Apple icon and select "About This Mac" for CPU identifiers etc.
    EDIT
    I almost forgot - there are great service manuals available from here:

  • How to create a new field in a sub screen in material master. ?

    How to create a new field in a sub screen in material master. ?
    Kindly help us.
    LIke wise tell me how to create a new sub screen as per my desired

    Follow the documentation of Logistics - General->Material Master->Configuring the Material Master->Create Program for Customized Subscreens  to add the new field in material master.
    Create Program for Customized Subscreens
    In this IMG activity, you can create a function group of your own by copying function group MGD1 (for industry) or function group MGD2 (for retail). The subscreens are not copied, except for two subscreens which are copied for technical reasons. You can use this copy to create subscreens of your own which you can assign to a data screen in the activity Define Structure of Data Screens for Each Screen Sequence.
    Requirements
    Be sure to read the program documentation first.
    Activities
    1. Create a function group of your own by choosing Execute.
    2. Enter a name containing up to 25 characters, beginning with the letter Y or Z, and choose Save.
    3. Access the Object Navigator.
    You do this from the SAP standard menu by choosing Tools -> ABAP Workbench, and then Object Navigator.
    4. Display either program SAPLMGD1 (industry) or SAPLMGD2 (retail) as required.
    5. Copy the subscreens as required, ensuring that they already contain as many as possible of the field names you want to use in your function group. You do this as follows:
    a) Choose Screens, position the cursor on the corresponding subscreen, and choose Copy in the context menu.
    b) Enter the program to which you want to copy the subscreen, prefixing it with SAPL, and enter a screen number. Use the screen number of the original subscreen where possible. If the F1 help is specific to a particular subscreen, this ensures that this context-specific help continues to be displayed.
    Example
    You have called your function group YENTERPRISE, to which you want to copy subscreen SAPLMGD1 2301. Enter SAPLYENTERPRISE as the program to which the subscreen is to be copied, and enter (preferably) 2301 as the screen number.
    6. Return to the initial screen of the Object Navigator and display your program. In the example above, you would enter SAPLYENTERPRISE.
    7. Choose Update object list.
    8. Select the subscreen you have copied and activate it by choosing Activate in the context menu.
    Using the Screen Painter, you can remove fields you do not require on the subscreen or include additional fields from other subscreens (see the ABAP Dictionary). For information on the Screen Painter, see the SAP library documentation BC ABAP Workbench Tools.
    Points to consider when removing or adding fields
    Make sure that a field statement exists for each field on the subscreen since data may not otherwise be transported correctly. You can use subscreen SAPLMGD1 2002 as an example.
    For the fields you have added, include any check modules and modules for self-programmed F4 help that are called up for these fields on the original subscreen. You can do this by displaying the flow logic for the original subscreen and searching for such modules. They normally have the same names as the fields themselves. When you find a module, copy the corresponding module call to your subscreen.
    If you change the order in which fields are transported that are checked together in the flow logic (such as the safety stock and minimum safety stock), you must deactivate the check module for the first field and activate it for the second. The system would otherwise transport the first field, and carry out the check before the second field is transported.
    Any error messages that fields are unknown when activating the subscreen are due to the fields still being included in checks, even though you have removed the fields from the subscreen. Search for the fields in the source code and make the lines in which they appear comment lines. Then reactivate the screen.
    9. Assign the subscreen to a data screen as required.
    Note on transport
    Use the Workbench Organizer to transport the copy you have created.
    Proceed

    My iPhoto '08 (v 7.1.5) shows a blank screen (no photos). How do I rebuild it from my iPhoto library.  Thanks!

    Try these in order - from best option on down...
    1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
