Suggestions for creating LOGOS and GRAPHICS??

I create logos as kind of a "hobby". I usually use PAGES to create as most are manipulations of fonts, shapes and importing images, etc.
I realize I am limited by PAGES in terms of producing high quality images for reproduction.
Does anyone have a suggestion for the next best program to use? I don't have the patience or time to learn COREL DRAW - I'm hoping there is something in between PAGES and programs similar to COREL!
SUGGESTIONS are really, really appreciated!
Thank you.

I do monograms in Photoshop Elements which is really a program for photo manipulation but is a great program for graphic design. I went with Elements since it is a lot cheaper than the full version of Photoshop and has everything I need.

    is there an EASY way to submit podcasts to the itunes store? i've tried creating podcasts in garageband, then somewhere after wordpress  itunes  doesn't recognize the feed.
    my process has been (i am open to suggestions for other free and EASY services/methods):
    garageband : create & edit audio. add 1400x1400 image.
    share to itunes.
    drag file to desktop.
    upload .m4a file to google drive.
    create a link post in wordpress using "podcast" tag & create "podcast" category.
    click on "entries rss" in wordpress, which takes me to the rss subscribe page (which is basically just my wordpress address with "/feed" at the end.
    i copy this url.
    go to itunes store > then "submit a podcast"
    itunes gives me the error message "we had difficulty downloading episodes from your feed."
    when i try to subscribe to my podcast in itunes, it does, but gives me no episodes available.
    i went back into wordpress and changed settings/ reading settings to : "full text" from "summary"
    still the same error message.
    i added a feedburner step after wordpress but got the same errors. i don't think i should have to add feedburner.
    wordpress seems to be encapsulating the rss, what am i doing wrong?
    this so much easier when you could go directly from garage band to iweb to mobileme; i miss those apple days (also idisk).

    if anyone has a super EASY process, i would LOVE to know what it is. EASY, meaning no html and also free. there are many free online storage systems available, many of which i currently use. the above process was just me trying to figure it out, if you have an easier method, please share. thank you so much!

The problem I am having is with the more complicated options/addons such as having a choice between 0-n number of object 1 and/or object 2, having 0-4 powers out of a 7 checkbox power group, or having 0-n special units added to the squad that all are the same but all can have different powers/addons. I suspect you need to write a data model for the information you want to capture. Seems like you've made a pretty good start with your various types and capabilities, now you just need to extend that to your more esoteric stuff.
    I'd also try to think about it a bit more generally, rather than applying it to a specific Swing component. For example:
    A Radio button is a "one of many" choice (ie, a "Selector"), whereas a Checkbox is a "0 or many of many" (possibly with limits). If you think about it this way, you leave the decision of how to represent them until later on, which is usually good practise.
    If you create a good model, you'll also be better prepared if you later decide to store these things in a database.

  • What temperatures are acceptable for the CPU and Graphics card?

    I have Intel Xeon X5400 series CPUs and a Nvidia graphics card.  
    It is interesting to monitor the temperatures but only if you know what temps matter...
    What temperatures are acceptable for the CPU and Graphics card? 
    I was not sure if this is the document of choice for the CPU or not. I was not sure I was decifering it correctly either. 
    http://download.intel.com/design/xeon/datashts/318589.pdf
    Any one know what we should be watching for as far as what is too hot? 
    I have a ThinkStation D10.
    Did not see this in the user manual but could have missed it. 

    I found my specs:
    Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU           E5405  @ 2.00GHz
    You are correct. An E series. 
    I was so focused on the upgrade to the X5420 that I forgot what the system came with. 
    So what should I set my sensor high value to on my sensor program that shows up on the panel (taskbar)?
    For the E5405 or the X5420? 
    SIDE NOTE: where can I get 2 E5420s or better cheap? 
    Not ready to give up my filters just yet. I live in a dust factory! 
    My girl friend sews really nice bags but creates sewing dust and fuzz. 
    And well there are natural fibers everywhere...
    So other than the the X5492 (150watts),  the X5482, X5472,  X5470, X5460, X5450 are all 120 watts.
    Like the bulk of the X series...
    The E5405, E5410, E5450, E5440, E5420, E5430, E5470, E5462, E5472 are all 80 watts.
    The L series seems to all be 50 Watts.  
     For many the other Processors see this:

  • Need suggestion for creating 'whispy smoke'

    Hi All,
    I'm trying to figure out a way to create a cartoonish looking whispy smoke. I've played with Trapcode Particular and that creates some very realistic looking smoke, probably too realistic.  I've played with CC Particle World, and also tried painting the smoke and then animated it on with a mask and a stroke set to reveal the original based on the mask.  Nothing really gets close to what I'm looking for.  Here's a sample of the client's original art:
    Any suggestions for how to achieve this?

  • Is it possible to do a GLOBAL color change for both text and graphics in ACrobat XI?

    I used to do this using the Pitstop Pro plugin but now Pitstop is almost $900 and this is the only thing that I would use it for, not worth the investment
    I can change text color by selecting individual text items, but I want to change all of the red text into white text
    I also need to change all of the red graphics into white graphics and I can't figure out how to do that either
    I have a trial version of XI on a Mac and will buy it if it can do what I am trying to do, i.e. global color changes to both text and graphics
    thanks!!

    I have version 6, but it is way out of date, doesn't work on my current system, I downloaded a trial version of the new one, version 12 I think, now I have to decide if I can afford to buy it, it is not cheap!
    oops, sorry, I didn't read your entire message, aargh!
    I'll check with them if I can upgrade from this early version, thanks for the suggestion!

  • BIA Test: Suggestion for creating enormousTest Data for Infocubes

    Hi,
    I need to create some enormous amount of data for infocube in order to test BIA.
    I don't think my basis team will allow me to load data from Production to Sandbox and moreover production has less than 250 millions records.
    Any suggestion for 250 million records?

    Hello,
    Just an idea. If you can load a minimum of data for your cube then it is easy.
    You just have to generate for your cube for instance a datasource and then create some update rules to loop on your data.
    a. generate export datasource
    b. map it to your infosource
    c. define some update rules to ensuere your data will be different. For example in the start routine.
    Hope it helps.

  • Suggestions for new features and improvements for Garageband

    Hi,
    I posted this to iCompositions but don't know who would be exposed to it as far as Apple goes. Just thought I would list a sort of wish list for GB that would make a huge difference for me.
    Most are just basic interface improvements and changes. Some you may already be able to do and I'm unaware.
    1. A click track option would be nice.
    2. A space to write production notes as in guitar used and pickup used.
    3. A Telecaster and Strat icon for the track icons.
    4. When you duplicate a track it also duplicates the region(s) of the track.
    5. An edit (highlight) button on a region to mark where editing needs to happen. This could be saved for future reference and quick navigation to.
    6. More control over the loop button on tracks. If you want to move it to another section it ***** to get at both ends and drag it to where it needs to be.
    7. Audio Interface volume booster. I don't get the same input from my M-Audio Ozone as I do via input of my guitar through a direct box. Not even close. Maybe it's my interface?
    8. More than one effect(s) on the same track.
    This is my wish list.
    ej
    G5   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   PowerPC G5 Dual 2 GHz 1GB SDRAM

    First of all, if you want Apple to listen to your suggestions, you better use the feedback forms, since this is a user forum and is very rarely visited by Apple employees.
    As for your list: People in this forum have put together a huge wishlist which somehow differs from yours (see this thread, for example). Top of the list are midi export, variable tempo and volume and effect automation.
    As for your no.8:
    8. More than one effect(s) on the same track.
    You can have up to 4 effects on each track (plus the not very effective compression slider), 2 of them are restricted to echo and reverb.

  • The best practice for creating reports and dashboard

    Hello guys
    I am trying to put together a list of best practice on how to create reports and dashboards using OBIEE presentation service. I know a lot of those dos and donts are just corporate words that don't apply consistantly in real world environment, but still I'd like to know if Oracle has any officially defined best practice or not.
    the only best practice I can think of when it comes to building reports and dashboards is:
    Each subject area should contain only one star schema that holds data for a specific business information
    Is there anything else?
    Please advice
    Thanks

    Read this book to understand what a Dashboard is, what it should do and look like to be used by the end users. Very enlightentning.

  • Suggestions for Cable Modem and Wireless Router

    Hey everyone!
    I have the new iMac and would like to have a faster wireless router. Currently using an old D-Link Wireless G router and would like something like the Time Capsule (as it has Airport Extreme in it) or Netgear Rangemax Dual Band Wirless-N Gigabit Router. My problem is, my Internet is through my cable company, so it comes into the house as a cable connection. It appears that these two combos would still require the use of a cable modem.
    Any suggestions to keep the equipment down to one piece? If not, any suggestions for a cable modem so I can return this old one to the cable company?
    What would be the best/quickest wireless router?
    Thanks for your help!
    Message was edited by: saalbunch

    Go to your ISP's web site and do a search from your ISP for compatible cable modems. Then buy the capable modem your ISP says that is comp[atible. On the new cable modem find the Serial number & MAC address, make then call your ISP tech help desk and tell them the new modem you got and he/she will ask you that information. When the ISP tech says they can see/ping that new cable modem then it will work. Then connect a new cheaper Airport Extreme and any external USB2 hard drive to connect to that new Airport Extreme. I say this because Apple put out and Update a little while ago that will allow an external connected to an Extreme as a Time Machine disk.
    PS: Remember the old trick of checking you Ethernet cables. I can't count how times I have seen professionals install all new high speed switches, routers, etc. and wonder why no speed is seen. Then after numerous trouble shooting they discover they used the old 10 Base T cables and just changing the cable solved their problem.
    Just make sure you do this one at a time starting with getting the ISP compatible cable modems list to know what cable modem you can buy (to save that monthly ISP rental fee). Then you can get the going as long as so speak with your ISP tech to give them that new cable modem Serial number and MAC address so they can register it with their servers.
    This will be to easy as long as you do things in step.

  • What is proper way to report suggestions for app features And bugs to Apple

    What is the proper way to report suggestions for app features to Apple? Or, do they even want suggestions?
    And, how about reporting app bugs? Should I just assume the bug is already known, or is there a way for (quickly) reporting them?

  • Suggestions for 808 PureView and Symbian Belle

  • App for creating complex and data-enclosed forms

    Hello guys,
    This may be a wrong place to ask this but hey i don't know where to go, so here goes:
    I'm looking for an app (OSX) with which i can create quite complex forms, and with that i mean the following example:
    Like in Acrobat Reader Pro you can create forms, you can leave some text that is considered basic text and non-changeable and some fields in which users can fill up their own data. Better yet i'm looking to allow the user to only fill in the particular fields with only a few options.
    For example: Let's say i want to create a mailing form in which the 'TO' field can only be filled up by a pop-up of selectable choices. I've seen this in some PDFs but i'm not sure Acrobat can do that. A friend of mine recommended SQL but that's a pain to install in OSX. So back to the example, when the user selects the TO field to fill up the destination of the letter, i would like to allow him to only fill up let's say one of 10 destinations (with complete address). So the 10 options pop-up in a menu from the field and he selects the destination and then the app does the rest by filling the street name, number etc...
    How can i do that? In what program?
    Thank you!
    Andrei Dica from Bucharest Romania (pround Apple user )

    Ok here is what i want to do:
    I want to simplify and optimize the work in my office. Most of the times we have to create reports or letters which share a common body text. That body text should remain unchanged but there are fields that i want to create to allow all the employees to fill up them depending on their needs. BUT not just fill up by typing because that would be the same as if it would have opened the document (.doc or .pages) delete and type what they want.
    I want to create fields but with options poping out of them when the user clicks on it. For example: let's say an employee wants to do a report about a company, and he already has the data in other documents about the company name, identification codes, address etc...Usually you work with multiple opened documents and copy/paste the required contents from one document to another. But i figured there has to be an easier way if a system can be implemented when the user can work on directly made templates for each task and type only the fields that need to be changed. I vision the process as a user completes some fields in a browser. When you type in the address bar of your browser "you" it automatically pops out a list of possible sites from which i can mention youtube.com and others. Now i understand that there has to be created a database first so that my employees and colleagues can fill 'from' but i'm willing to do that if on the long term it speeds up the work flow.
    Another example is body text that need to be changed only by two values (words) much like numeric values 1 and 0. For example yes or no. Click on the field, pops up yes or no option. Click on the desired option and you're done. Print it, email it and job well done.
    Is this a bit more clear about what i'm trying to achieve?

Maybe you are looking for
