Suggestion on box design software or will illustrator do that?

Looking for help or suggestion on if there is a simple packaging design software that will help me. Let's just say I want to create a cereal box, with all the side and most importantly, all the flaps that fold. I just wondered if that is a plugin or something that can make this real easy?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks Harron for your reply. I do have samples from the packager but I wanted to design some no so square boxes, more of a display box with cut out and such. I did find a software in my search at www.pkg.com but I called them and the cost was $5,000, about $4,999 too much for me :(
I wish there were templates to download and then I can modify the length, width and other dimension to suit my needs. Alot of what I'm doing now is trial and error but it does work but time consuming.

    Hi VigneshCivil,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. 
    Without knowing the specification requirements of the applications you will be using, I can't give you a specific recommendation. But I have provided you with the specifications of the two screen sizes of both the MacBook Pro Retina and the MacBook Air to compare with the requirements of your apps. One caution I would provide is not to go with the bare minimums required for the app, doing that would not give you optimum performance. 
    MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014) - Technical Specifications
    MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014) - Technical Specifications

  • Hello, I have an apple Mac Pro. It is an older machine but I just had the Apple Store install a new drive with OSX 10.6.8. It runs great but I need to load software. Will it run CS4 Design Standard? Or, will I need CS5.

    Hello, I have an Apple Mac Pro Laptop. It is an older machine but I just had the Apple Store install a new hard drive with OSX 10.6.8. It runs great but I need to load software. Will it run CS4 Design Standard? Or, will I need CS5. This machine can't run 10.7.

    Hi There,
    As per CS5.5 Design Standard release notes it can run on 10.6.8.
    Kindly try to install in and share the results so that we can assist you if needed.

  • Consider Adobe design software mergence to eliminate design workflow confusion

    Hello! Recently, I start to use Adobe Indesign to design print material, then I found it is much superior than Adobe Illustrator from some aspects(such as functionality,typography,long document,dynamic and organic text style,table,crossmedia and etc.)except some AI features like advanced vector shape drawing tools, but both software similar at interface,commands and operation, so I wonder whether Adobe will consider and is it possible to merge Adobe InDesign and Illustrator to eliminate software collaborative operation gap and confusion, of course, other softwares like Adobe Photoshop and Fireworks, Adobe Incopy and Contribute. that's just my personal suggestion, I found I have to learn so many softwares to achieve a goal which cause me a heavy burden and great focus on it, thats it. Thank you!

    I would rather so-called "bloated" but more integrated design software than several splited software seriously focusing on different kind of jobs. Let me clarify I am not saying merge InDesign and Photoshop, thats insane. I am talking about InDesign and Illustrator. As they both share some same codes, also similar at some same commands, interface and job role. For example, both of them can design name card, postcard, brochure, package. But in their own way. That means I have to remember and compare two kinds of ways to do one job. So I think if the Adobe Creative Team can well-manage and well-organize every module component of the software, thats not big problem at present computer hardware capability, I believe most people can handle it, just how much time does it cost to you. Thank you!
    And Microsoft is doing more and more well in computer design software.

  • What's a good web design software to use with hype.

    I didn't have luck with sandvox, rapid weaver, or highway. It seems that iWeb is gone and im trying to transition into a diffrent html5 compatible web software. I would like to learn web coding but for now i need a quick and efficiant transsition. I've came across Hype and its great but iWeb can use it. I would love to hear some suggestions on what everyone else is using (not including previously mentioned apps).

    No, iWeb has not gone anywhere.  It is correct that Apple no longer sells it or supports it, but iWeb is an application like any other on your mac and if you have it you can most definitely still continue to use it.  It works with Snow Leopard, Lion and Mountain Lion and by all accounts, it will work with the new Mavericks too.
    You can do a search of this site and there are literally hundreds of posts on the same topic of new web design software, but you can take a look at Flux 4, Freeway Pro/Express 6, WebAcappella 4 and Quck n Easy Website Builder.  Other than that, you are then looking at Content Management Systems such as Joomla and WordPress.
    You can also take a look at EasyWeb which is a new app being developed by Rage Software - it has not been released yet and is still in its beta testing stage, but this is closer to iWeb than most.

  • SUGGESTIONS NEEDED: Graphic Designer needing to organize my graphic library

    Ive been wanting to find a better way of organizing my extensive library of the following (Vector & Raster art): Backgrounds, Raster/Vector Patterns, Logos, Icons, Vector Design Elements, Fonts (I use FontBook), print & web templates, Stock Photos, ALOT of vector art, anything from flourishes to multi colored complex images, Web Design stuff (icons, buttons, banners...etc.) and last but not least Adobe CS native color swatches, patterns, gradients, actions, and brushes.  I am sure I left out some, but you get the idea.
    I have been building my large collection over the period of 4-5 years and has grown to 40g of internal HD space to house these in loosely catergorized subfolder (i.e., Vector Art, Stock Photos, PS plugins (gradients, brushes, ETC) backgrounds/Textures, so on and so forth.  I would love to store my Data externally but with the throughput speeds of USB, am not wanting to slow down Bridge anymore than it already is. But help with external storage and accessing files quickly would also help
    As your probably thinking it is getting to be a pain to manage and even worse finding or searching for items, considering alot are generically names from packages Ive acquired (i.e. 132456.eps. flower00234.jpg, etc.)  Bridge helps alot but I am trying to catergorize and keyword folders or images this as clean as possible hopefully thru manually doing it on a system recommended or using a 3rd party software to apply metadate like keywords that will be searchable is IDEAL!
    I am starting to use Lightroom 3 to manage and catalog my StockPhotos (not to many), but love the functionality of the keyword and meta data features within LR.
    So that is what I am trying to accompish:
    1. organize all my art in to specific catergories
    2. hopefully use metadata and keywords within the OS or a 3rd party program to make items easily searchable within the Finder or Adobe Bridge.
    3. Properly manage and store art as it comes to me several times a day to keep everything current so I can do a backup of just my Design files, every month or so to keep stored off computer or on the cloud.
    Any suggestions(software/procedures), links, or general help on this issue is greatly appreciated!!
    Thanks Again for any help lended!!! Any anyone that is willing to help me thru this and is interested in Graphic Design tools or graphics, I can definitely share ANYTHING from my collection for helping
    Drew

    Dont mind one bit, if i can pass along any advice to help someone, Im happy to do so.
    first off....My art catalog is mass collections of various file types, and media uses, so I started by keywording by some of these keywords; Vector, Web Graphics, Stock Photos, Patterns (Vector/Raster), Textures, Backgrounds, Shapes/Objects (vector/Raster), and after indifiying a sorting the various files, just in folders and sub-folders, under one main Artwork Directory, and that helped me organize them for transfering between my home office, to my work server.  After that it was pretty much a breeze except for one issue I ran into (I will explain at the end).  Since I run Bridge at Work and at home, the structure and navigation to search for files by catergory was alot easier, by mimicking the same setup on both Bridge for PC at work and Bridge for Mac at home.  the last step I did to help refine things a little better, I keyworded two things within Bridge to make the search faster, and it was just these tags, Vector, Raster High Res, Raster Med-Low Res. I also use the ranking/star system to tag my most used, favorite.  1 star for frequently used, and 5 star for my favorite art packages. When I use the word "favorite", in my terms that is art that i see potential to use in future designs and good clean art that Ive never used, so I can incorporate new designs.  That might not be the best way to do it in Bridge, but after bouncing around alot of approaches this eems to work just fine for my graphic/web design needs.
    One more thing that I do as I acquire new art, is make a Folder with a custome icon to stand out, that is labeled Un-Catergorized art.  And as I download art unless I use it right away, I drag and drop into that folder.  I was advised to not do this and label and file appropriately as soon as I aquire stuff so I dont get behind, but to aleviate that, I have made automator actions that move all files that have been in the folder for more than 5 days to move into a diferent folder (Delete Me), and have put an automation on that folder to delete files that are 3 days or older (in that folder).  It may sound like alot of work just to remind, but by adding another automator action in Mac OSX to email me when the first move is made, It trained my mind to process all new art every friday like clock work, and have since stop using the email action and the delete after 3 days action!  With the size of my library....getting close to 60gig....and consisting of a wide array of different media, I found this to work for my workflow.
    Give this a thought, because this may help you in some way, but everyones catalog is different.
    The only current problem/issue that I am trying to resolve at the moment is catergorizing and tagging (somehow) all my Creative Suite Plugins for PS, and LR.  Because it is getting pretty extensive, with patterns, actions, swatches, shapes, styles, etc...
    The issue I ran into with processing VECTOR art in Bridge CS5, was the lack of support for previwing .EPS files, and took a good chunk of my vector art and converted to a native AI file to be able to view the preview in bridge, but there is work arounds I found.
    Bridge has really been awesome for someone like me, and learn something new about this robust program everyday.
    As far as PS & LR plugins, I could theroretically just add everything I get to their respective plugin system folder on my drive, but I move them around alot and found it easier to search my folder structure and COPY/PASTE plugins in the system folder as needed and clean out the system plugin folder every so often.
    I just installed CS5.5 Master Collection last night, and even though Bridge isn't the same build as the changed DW 5.5, and indesign 5.5 (all the rest of the master collection for the most part NOTHING changed, even though its labeled as 5.1 instead of 5.0 or 5.5.  So I will be doing some research on this to see if any new features were added in Bridge but doubt it
    Hope this helps! and feel free to ask anymore questions
    Later, Drew

  • Best Graphic Design Software

    Hello. I recently purchased a MacBook Pro {love} and I would like to get a graphic design software to use for making custom photo birthday invitations/thank you cards (you know the ones they sell all over eBay for children's birthdays, etc.) I've been buying them for years and I'm tired of buying them when I know I could create them myself if I had the correct software. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance!

    Hi there,
    You do not need to buy at this first time, assuming you do not have graphic design experience you can start by using an Apple application as Pages, Keynote, iPhoto or others in your /Applications/ folder, check it out, try opening applications, read tutorials and welcome presentations or open a template file for some start edition.
    After that you can try a freeware third party application, you will find many of that here: http://osx.iusethis.com/tag/graphics
    Professional applications require a minimum specific knowledge that you would naturally acquire after sometime around with these others.
    Before go on using third party apps would be smart to get one smart removal tool so that you'd be able to remove applications you do not like and related support files in one move, which would be better than having useless files remaining in your system. I use AppCleaner - http://www.freemacsoft.net/ - with it's SmartDelete Preference enabled, set it up if you will.
    Despite most of Mac's applications only need to be copied to your HDD to be ready to run, they usually keep some support file maybe elsewhere the ~/Library and/or /Library/Application Support/ folders.
    Good luck

  • Embroidery design software

    Is anyone trying to use embroidery design software using Bootcamp?

    As someone who gets their "kicks" from answering questions here (very much like a Professor), I suggest you go to their office hours and sit with them to ask that broad, open-ended question.
    The answers are likely convoluted and defy simple email-type answers. They can probably provide a "magazine article length" answer with many, many plusses and minuses they can give you on the spot, but will not commit to an email because writing a balanced appraisal is too much work. And a simple "this one" answer would be unfair because it does not list the drawbacks of each solution.

    Any ideas on what to do next?
    I'm running and iMac 20-inch  early 2009
    Processor  2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Memory  8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  NVIDIA GeForce 9400 256 MB
    Software  OS X 10.8.4 (12E55)

    Step 1
    Quit Calendar. Triple-click the line below to select it:
    ~/Library/Calendars/Calendar Cache
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu. A Finder window should open with a file named "Calendar Cache" selected.
    Move the selected file to the Trash. There may be one or two other files in the same folder with names that begin in "Calendar Cache". If so, delete those files too.
    Step 2
    Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash as well:
    iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
    Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space.
    According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of your data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
    To locate large files, you can use Spotlight. That method may not find large folders that contain a lot of small files.
    You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
    Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
    Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
    ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
    Back up all data now.
    Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders. It may take some minutes for ODS to list all the files.
    I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
    When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.

  • CS5 Design Standard. Will not activate on new HDD following transfer from old HDD. Shows Error 213.10 Have serial number/s etc.

    I recently encountered a problem with a HDD drive. So I had to replace it with a new one. Fortunately I managed to recover the data and applications on the original drive.
    However when I transferred and installed the Adobe CS5 Design Standard suite on the new HDD it will not open any of the Adobe applications.
    It prompts an error 213.10 each time. I can't see where to deactivate or reactivate.. please advise suggested course of action.
    Also, will I be able to successfully access my previous files after the reinstallation/activation?
    Many thanks

    Reinstall properly. Activation cannot work because in the technical sense it simply isn't there. You screwed it. Run teh cleaner tool if necessary and contact support to reset activations.

  • Need Suggestion on the Design of a New Workbench

    Hi All,
    I need a suggestion on the design of agreement workbench..
    The requirement goes this way...
    We will have workbench main screen, where header and line details will be entered manually ( or sourced from legacy system). On the main screen, there will be few buttons, clicking upon which will open the subforms (around 6-8 screens) or supporting details (the data can be entered or interfaced).
    We have two approaches.
    1. Keeping everyithing in a single .fmb file
    2. Creating one .fmb file for the main screen and different .fmb files for each of the individual screens and calling them from the main screen.
    Please suggest the best approach considering all the factors like maintanance, user friendlyness, switching b/w the main and child forms and all other possible factors which can make difference.
    Thanks in advance!.
    Thanks,
    Pavan

  • Does anyone have a Photoshop retail box (just the box, no software)? I need one :-)

    Hi everyone
    I am looking for a Photoshop CS6 box. I have the software but my old box got smashed. Since I like to collect software I need another Photoshop box.
    I am willing to pay the shipping prize plus a little tip.
    It would be great if someone out there who doesn't need his box anymore could send me one
    Thank you, I appreciate your help!
    Best regards
    Sebastian

    Joey,
    That's going to be a question for the NI sales or support team.
    Start by going to ni.com/ask. They may actually have something on the website. This is a very powerful site for getting support, finding software and drivers, as well as patches. If you start a support question, you will be given a bunch of links. Be sure to enter the model or name of the signal accessory as well as other pertinent information in the question, as this is the query to search all of NI's databases.
    Unfortunately, I don't think you will get a schematic diagram for this. It is proprietary technology, and National Instruments is very protective of such information, as they should be.
    If you have a specific question, perhaps someone here can help.

  • Purchase order design software

    I'm looking for a purchase order web designing software that works with or is compatible with iweb software. Does Apple have anything that is like that? I'm hoping to find something as easy to set up and work with as the iweb. I already have a memobile account and have a working website redirected from that account to my website link. If Apple doesn't have anything could you suggest a company or software that would work?
    thanks

    Leslie ~ Welcome to the discussions. As far as I know, Apple doesn't have "Purchase order web designing software". But this old thread has some suggestions for e-commerce with iWeb:
    "Purchase order web designing software" is not readily apparent, but Business & Finance software for OS X in general can be found here. Also here and here.
