Technique used to design this logo

This is a very effective style logo that I was wondering how to create. One method would be to add stroke to an object, outline the stroke, then adjust the width of the path by reducing it until it "disappears." Another would be to use the Pathfinder tool and subtract from shape.
Anyone know of a better method?

Just the honeypot for now. By using the knife tool you can separate the outlined stroke, and gradually reduce the width of the line shape and then delete a chunk between the two "lines." But then I need to create negative space around the (yellow) fill in the center. I thought you could do an offset path in negative pixels, but you can't.

Is flash used to design this type of application?

I am looking to purchase the Studio 8 bundled package but I
am not sure if it will be capable in designing my site /
application. We are looking to add a drag-and-drop application
directly to the front end of our web site. Similar to the links
below:
www.dragdropsitecreator.com
and www.handzon.com/fulldemo.htm
It looks like CSS is incorporated with the sites but can any
of the programs in the Studio 8 package do CSS. I am a novice so
any help is appreciated. In the end, we are looking to develop a
flash / html based web site and have the drag and drop application
incorporated as an added feature.
Thanks,
B

What do you mean exactly by "Start.Drag & Stop.Drag "?
I definitely knew that Flash is what we needed but the
developer/designer that I was in contact with back in early 2005
has since been gobbled up by the busy-ness of web 2.0. I would like
to work with him but I need the site/application done soon. I've
been sitting on it too long.
We're going to be doing some interior design work and I
wanted the ability to move items around a room. We want to give our
customers the feeling of being involved with the process. I want
the items to have extreme detail. Almost real looking. From what
you're saying, the Studio 8 package will give us all we need for
designing this type of site. I have the idea talent but will
probably be referencing the Help/Tutorial section a bit.

Quick question! What tool should I use to make this logo?

I would like to know how to make the following image 1 to turn to image 2 ? What tool should I use? Thank you very much !

Probably the quickest way would be to use Offset Path, that is if the original file is vector artwork. Your two screen shot images do not match. If your assignment is to recreate the "CNN" logo, you'd be best to start with the internal Stroke ( White ). Use the existing artwork as a template Layer. Draw on a separate Layer going by the existing artwork. Simple Pen tool operation consisting of around eight anchor points. Once you've established the most accurate Stroke rendition, copy the file using a different name ( CNN02.ai or similar ). Outline the copy. Then, use Offset Path for the outer Red ( save that as CNN03.ai ). Copying in sequential steps allows you to go back just in case something does not look right. If accuracy is important, you'll have to resolve the "C" deviation you have right now.

Hello, i designed a logo in RGB format,1600 X 900 pixel...i m using this logo in website and also i wanted to print it in broucher...i m cofused for the setting n size...plz help

i m confused about logo size and format plz help me out...@

You can design one logo for both purposes. But you cannot save just one file suitable for both. You need to make the design and then make a reduced size JPEG or PNG for your web site. You also need a version for print, but unless you know what is needed you cannot save it. Just keep the original PSD until you hear what your printer or designer needs for the brochure.

Using LiveCycle Designer to create a webform--is this a good approach?

My company president tasked me to look into LiveCycle and see if it would be a good approach to use for generating a web form for our company. The basic idea is that we would have a unique link for a particular database record, which the form would then display the contents of to a supplier to ask questions about the specifications of an item. The supplier would fill out the form, hit submit, and the data they entered would be saved to our database. The president came across the description for LiveCycle and thought creating the form, linking it to the database, and hosting it on our IIS server would work.
Keeping in mind that we only have this single application in mind and nothing else even on the table as a possible use for the application, is Designer a good tool for this purpose? From looking into it, Designer seems to be more intended for use with the other components of LiveCycle and more for enterprise use than something this small-scale. I have installed the trial edition and it connects to the database easily enough, but the other functionality doesn't seem super intuitive towards creating a form for this purpose.
Thanks for any clarification you can provide on this.

I'd like to develop a little bit, though you already had good answers.
1) Illustrator has pre-installed fonts that you can use freely;
2) if you are on Illustrator CC or CC2014 you can download more fonts from Typekit that are too free to use;
3) If you are downloading a lot of fonts from different websites you have to check the creative common license or whatever instruction the typographers have in their own website. There are condition on commercial or non-commercial use. So some fonts would be ok to use for your logo, but you cannot gain money on the font - if you think twice it is quite normal as it would sound like you designed it while you just imported it from other websites. Some typographers create and don't mind about what you do with the fonts but it is such a minority that I would suggest you as a routine to have a file saved on your documents about the fonts you download and go this way:
grab the link to the site
copy the name of the font
check the agreement on the websites page for each font, if they differ
Very important is to go back once in a while and assure that the license terms are still the same, as it might happen that the typografer makes changes in the arch of years. Also a very good advice is to reach out and speak personally to the typografer and inform you are using this or that font for your illustration, make sure he or she agrees with your intentions and see that you're good with each other. Going this way you can even give yourself a chance for future cooperation.

Get the root folder name once user will upload any files to subfolder with in this root folder using sharepoint designer WF??

Hi,
How to get the root folder name using sharepoint designer WF? i have a document library with root folders and subfolders. so i am trying to get the root specific root folder name attaching with email once user will
upload any files to subfolders within that root folder.
Thanks in advanced!

Hi,
According to your description, you might want to get the root folder name in SharePoint Designer Workflow when there is file uploading.
The “Path” field of the current item holds the relative path of a file, as a workaround, you can retrieve the value of the “Path” as string, then split the string
value with a delimiter character of “/” to meet your requirement.
In SharePoint Designer 2010, there is no OOTB action to split the string. You can use the custom workflow actions below to achieve it.
Here is a link about the related actions I use in this scenario:
https://spdwfstringactions.codeplex.com/
Settings of workflow as below:
It works well in my environment:

Cannot see the Previous Versions using SharePoint Designer 2013 - Versions cannot be accessed at this time.

I was trying to view the Version History of a page from the SharePoint Designer 2013, I got the following error. "Versions cannot be accessed at this time, because the server is busy. Please try again later.
Whereas I can able to access the version history through browser, the issue only occurs in SharePoint Designer.
Thanks
Ramkumar

Hi Ramkumar,
I understand that when you use SharePoint designer 2013 to check previous version of a page, it will pop up the error window. This is a known issue and here are two feasible workaround:
1.Use SharePoint designer 2010 to connect SharePoint 2013 site.
2.In SharePoint Designer 2013, use the Versions pane in the Page Summary view to access detailed version information of a file. You can access the Page Summary view by:
a. (Left) Clicking on a filename in the Site Pages list.
b. Select a file Site Pages list by clicking anywhere in the row (except the filename) and then clicking on “Page Settings” in the Site Pages.
c. Restore the required version.
Thanks for the understanding and support.

How to Design Attractive Logo In Adobe Photoshop?

Hi
I am working on adobe Photoshop to design a Logo for a Recruitment Job Portal E-Recruitment Hub - Govt Jobs Notification 2014 Online Application Form and i am trying to making an attractive logo for this jobs site. Dear all please suggest me better logo design for this jobs site
Thanks and i am waiting for reply.

It will depend on the image. If it was one that was saved as a psd file and has layers (window>layers) {Look in the layers panel and see if you see a layer with a thumbnail that looks like a large T} In this instance, you can double click on that thumbnail to highlight the text then type in its replacement.
If the image is a jpg which does not support layers, transparency or live text, then that would mean that you need to use the selection tools to select that text and fill it with the same color as the background. You can then use the text tool to type in the text you want.
Remember to save a copy as a psd file so you can edit the text at a later date.

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 send the folder url using SharePoint Designer WF??

Hi,
i am trying to send the folder url as a email link using SharePoint designer workflow. i already created the WF which is sending the item url attaching with email. is there anyway i can add folder url too, so that once user will click they can see all the
files in that folder?
Thanks

I think you've got a quote in the wrong place, but you're close.
Do a 'set workflow variable', and create a new one called whatever - this one was called link
Add that variable to your email:
Of course you can set your text to whatever you want. I use this technique to do formatting in email - you can create a pretty complex bit of html in a string variable and insert it into email - Outlook/Exchange will interpret.
And actually, I think there's another variable, maybe in the workflow context section, that would have your site address, so you wouldn't have to hardcode your https://xxxx.com .

Design a logo

need help on how to design a logo

Welcome to the forum!
Designing a logo is a big topic. Can you tell us more?
In the meantime, I highly recommend the video "Creating your Logo" on Adobe TV: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/adobe-and-your-voice/creating-your-logo/. It uses Illustrator, not Photoshop, because Illustrator's vector output is a better choice for creating a logo you may want to size up and down for different uses.
You may also want to watch this video, which starts in Photoshop and moves into Illustrator:

Why doesn't SAP use SAPUI5 for this and that

This is my personal opinion about this topic! Again and again I stumble about this and now I want to share some of my thoughts about this topic. I want to share this from a point of view, when I was not a SAP Employee - I worked at a SAP Partner company - because this best reflects the view from the outside.
1. SAP "wants" us to use SAPUI5
I don't think that "wants" is the right word - the right word is offers! In terms of: hey now even included in your license and open sourced (because you wanted it so). Look - we build sooo many Fiori apps with it - and put in some great enterprise features (right to left, accessibility, translation, ...) and it is responsive. So if you want to build Fiori-like "apps" - there you go - this is your technology to go! This is what I understood.
I was very very very happy that it was build with open standards. But the main point for me another thing - (because I worked with Sybase Unwired Platform and SAP Mobile Platform) OMG an open data protocol!!! OData FTW! I could use ANY front-end technology and consume SAP data - the protocol is REST based - a dream came true. And so I did - yes I played around with Sencha Touch and OData, I used data.js and used it in a standard HTML5 application. We played around with an iOS application we already had and consumed the data. I feed the data into d3.js. I prototyped around with SAPUI5 and I have build apps with it. Brilliant, so I could choose whatever UI technology I wanted.
I always had the feeling, that SAPUI5 was meant for B2E applications - and building many of that - and they should look and feel the same and I can theme the apps. I can use it when I want to make my applications SAP like - so that the user thinks the apps are all the same and everything fits nicely into the Fiori launchpad - great if you want to build partner apps. In my ex company we won a SAP Pinnacle Award - for a native iOS app, no SAPUI5 in sight - but we have received an award, so SAP did not "want us" to use SAPUI5 ;-)
2. Is it the right UI technology for everything?
At my ex-company I was dealing with mobile applications and web apps. I always knew that I get the best user experience when I write a real native application and if you want it to look like in a very specific way with awesome UI --> you would not do it with a write-once-run-everywhere HTML5 super-styled wrapped (phone gap/cordova) app - you would write the apps for the specific platform and it should feel like it was written for the platform. SAP offered us the SAP Fiori Client that I could enhance the user experience for the Fiori apps, but I was never told to use SAPUI5 it for everything.
The same discussion goes on with: why was the new SAP website not build with SAPUI5, or the UX Explorer (eat your own dog food), or a useful internal app - why Angular, or the other way around why do we even use SAPUI5 and not Angular JS itself. Back to the past - SAP did never tell me to build a website with it, or to build something tiny and small with it (a widget) - or to enhance parts of a website with it - or to build something super-specific with it.
And yes maybe the UI in a mobile app was not SAPUI5 but do you know if it uses Gateway with OData or the SAP Mobile Platform, was the API managed with Apigee, was HCI involved in getting the data from different sources, was it maybe wrapped with SAP Mobile Secure, did it maybe use a HANA backend or some of its features (predictions, text analytics, ...) - are some backend parts maybe hosted on HCP - who knows? So yeah, maybe other SAP technology was involved which you don't see, but in the end it made your life simpler.
Instead of arguing around why this and that was used for this and that - can we save our energy and instead look at the result - which is all what counts - that it was the right UI technology with the right user interface which makes the user happy? I stated something like - does Google use AngularJS for everything? Nope. They offer us something great we can use. Right, maybe AngularJS is not as important for Google like SAPUI5 is for us. But we have something with which we can build our day-to-day business apps with and we do so.
3. We missed great opportunity in not using SAPUI5 for this and that
Let's think about how projects are going: you want something, you look at the costs, you choose most efficient option. Yes this could mean reusing an existing native application which was written long ago and you pimped it up. Or you had outsourced it to a company which wrote a similar app. Or you bought the source code. Or you have some cheap internal staff which could do it (students, trainee), or you could outsource it cheaply. Or all you have is people with experience in this and that technology. Or it must look in a very very specific way (because marketing says so) and you go native. Or it maybe should even differentiate itself and should look NOT like a Fiori app. And no - I don't think - this is my employees view - we are not for example an event app producer. We normally build business applications. And I don't think that we can write an app from scratch "just" for an event in a certain technology. Yes it would be nice if this and that would use SAPUI5, I think if it would be possible in terms of time and costs and UI wishes and hundreds of other factors we would do it with SAPUI5.
Working at the partner SAP showed me over 50 Fiori apps, now hundreds of Fiori apps are released. SAP now showed that SAPUI5 is going big with S/4HANA. We have seen the Simple Finance solution. I was walking around at the CeBIT this year and I was impressed myself which cool apps and screens have been shown with SAPUI5. I used the SAPUI5 app on a Samsung Smart Watch myself. The SAP Web IDE itself is built with SAPUI5 in its heart. I don't need any other "proves" that SAPUI5 is great. I have seen great use cases for it, but I also know myself when I would use other stuff.
4. My conclusion
There is never every anything which can cover all different use cases. One-size-fits-all clothes also does not fit for everyone even if it says so. If someone creates something great don't judge it by the UI technology. Judge it by the experience and the value it creates. There are reasons why this and that was chosen. Use what fits your needs best with your requirements. Make the end user happy!

Hey Denise,
Thanks for pulling this discussion into SCN. Makes it much easier to discuss compared to Twitter. But I also have to apologize in the beginning that my answer now exceeds 140 characters by 50 times.
Let me share my thoughts and personal opinion as well. I will try to look at it from a strategic point of view, as you – as the technical UI5 expert - have already covered the technical perspective.
SAP recommends using SAPUI5 where it fits to customers’ requirements
Let me begin with a clear statement from my perspective: It makes no sense that SAP takes customer decisions.
Of course, customers expect SAP to help them with their strategies and decisions and of course we are helping. But at the end, the decisions have to be taken by the customer who needs to take the specific conditions of the company into account. The most important condition in the context of UX is the end user. But we shouldn't forget the business strategy as the most important influence factor. I’m not saying that technical decisions are completely unimportant, but I would like to point out that other things are more important for a company.
As a result, it wouldn't make a lot of sense if SAP would just want every customer to use SAPUI5. To me, customers need recommendations leading to solutions that satisfy their needs and requirements.
There is not that one UI technology that serves all needs
This headline might be a challenging statement and I can already imagine reactions to it. But in fact I can confirm this sentence easily. You always have to combine different technologies. Some of them are from SAP others not. The selection and combination of these technologies is different from customer to customer because the requirements are different. There are still reasons to use Web Dynpro ABAP and I’m still recommending SAP NetWeaver Business Client, POWL (Power Lists), WDA Chips, FPM based on the given environment of the customer. And obviously there are also reasons for UI5.
SAP already proves the usage of SAPUI5
In general, I see two different use cases here: Developing custom applications vs. adopting applications from SAP.
In the one case, customers want recommendations on development environments and UI technologies that consider their development requirements and existing conditions (e.g. existing skills, given implementations). SAPUI5 is a great UI technology and there are some special aspects that make the decision obviously easy. If I want to create simple business applications that can be connected with my SAP system easily, especially in combination under responsive conditions on multiple devices and targeted for casual and/or occasional users UI5 might be the right choice for many. Exactly this pattern is what many customers are searching for these days. So, the recommendation for UI5 comes quite often.
Whether or not SAP proves the usage of SAPUI5 in their own world is to me more connected to the use case where customers want to adopt SAP applications. And in deed, SAP is using SAPUI5. There are hundreds of SAP Fiori applications that have been built with SAPUI5 and there have been a lot of other applications developed using SAPUI5, too. And again, there is a huge need for applications for casual and/or occasional users, so that’s a big reason for SAP to create such applications.
Websites vs. Business Applications
This discussion was triggered by some statements in twitter, that SAP sites such as sap.com, SAP UX Explorer or the latest mobile conference app are not developed using UI5. Actually I see these to be websites but not business applications. I have never told a customer to build a website in UI5 and I would continue to do so.
Maybe we need to discuss the difference between a website and a business application. I guess it is not easy to find a common understanding here, as the borderlines between several worlds have disappeared in the last years.
Some years ago it was more or less easy to differ between:
Native desktop applications running on a specific desktop OS
Native mobile applications running on a specific mobile OS
Browser-based applications running in specific browsers
Websites, basically running on many browsers
In the first three categories we saw business applications. 1 and 2 were selected especially when specific functions of the device and OS where needed to be accessed (for example the camera of the mobile device, the fast rendering capability of the desktop). 3 was also used for business applications but in most cases on desktop browsers.
Today, one can develop browser-based applications that look like native applications and even can access the devices like native applications. Responsive design breaks the borderlines even more. Now, browser-based content can be rendered perfectly on a desktop browser as well as on a mobile phone and a user might even not be able to judge whether it was originally intended to be developed for the one or the other.
So maybe there is no big difference anymore between websites and browser-based applications. But there is still a difference between browser-based applications and browser-based business applications, where additional requirements such as integration into business systems are drivers. Here I see SAPUI5 as a very cool UI technology.
That’s just my 2 (personal) cents,
JJ

Getting error while publishing workflow using SP designer for SharePoint 2013

Hi,
I am try to setup Workflow manager for our sharepoint applications.
WF manager set ran without any issue.
I registered the SPWorkflow service which succeeded as well. The Workflow service application shows "Workflow is connected"
I am creating a workflow using sharepoint designer using my credential (not Service account). I am able to save it but while publishing, its prompting with an error.
The error says "Errors were found while compiling the workflow.The workflow files were saved but cannot run." Clicking advanced button show
"Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException: We're sorry, we weren't able to complete the operation, please try again in a few minutes. If you see this message repeatedly, contact your administrator.
at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPScaleOutDatabaseMap.CreateSqlSession(ISPScaleOutDatabaseMapProvider mapProvider, Byte[] compositeKey, Guid forceRefreshVersion, Guid& version)
at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPScaleOutDatabaseCommandExecutor.Execute(ExecuteDelegate operation, ISPScaleOutDatabaseMapProvider mapProvide"
Any help would be highly appreciated
Thanks,

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you got error while publishing workflow using SharePoint designer for SharePoint 2013.
Please check whether the Central Admin > Manage Service Application-> “App Management Service” is started.
Please check whether the “Configure service application associations”, ”App Management Service” is already associated.
Then please check whether the “Manage Services on server” and the “App Management Service” is started.
In addition, please try to re-register Workflow Service.
If the issues still exists, please follow the steps in the
Steps to Verify that Server Is Correctly Set Up. After you verified that the server is correctly set up, follow the steps in the
Steps to Troubleshoot Workflow Management Service and
Troubleshooting the Service Bus for Windows Server then retry your action related to publishing workflows
