Why do some logos look.. old? How does design age? To offer a different perspective on "the technical skill required to make a Metro UI is noticeably less than if you had to create gradients and shadows" - I'd say knowing how to use gradient and shadow tools is one of the less significant challenges in this kind of icon or logo design: software fluency is usually just expected. The real challenge is making something that communicates the message simply, quickly, reliably - and that's harder the more constrained your stylistic palette is. Designing a good two-tone logo or icon for something non-trivial can be a serious creative challenge. |

Does Photoshop Elements fully support PSD files from “full” Photoshop? Good question, I believe it's fine for layer effects except for groups of layers and complex adjustment layers, but I'm not 100% sure. I wrote a quick write-up a while ago of the key differences between PS and PS elements for web work here which might also be useful background: graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/a/15879/3327 |

Best way to add an individual image to pdf form letter The answers to this might help: graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/12794/… If you've got access to Indesign I'd suggest looking into Data Merge with a spreadsheet of 200 file locations (I've not personally used that feature enough to be able to offer a step-by-step though). |

How do I type Arabic text in Photoshop? For me (CS6 on Lion) it does keep the joins, so long as you copy from the lower of the two input boxes (the one where in the web browser, it looks like the text has been reversed). For example, for me محمد appears as ﺪﻤﺤﻣ in the browser but does then paste into photoshop as محمد, with each character joined. |

How do I type Arabic text in Photoshop? Nice. In some browsers (e.g. Chrome) it seems like the Copy button doesn't work but copying the text out of the lower box then pasting it into Photoshop seems to work. |

Quick-Connectors in Illustrator Sounds like the same basic problem as this earlier question - How to bind a line to a rectangle - (which also includes a pretty good workaround from Scott that should help in your case...) |

How can I export only text with a distinctive character style from InDesign to a new document? That's a valid way of doing it, but you shouldn't need to delete the pictures if you select all and copy from the HTML then paste into a plain text editor, like Notepad (windows), or TextEdit using Format > Make Plain Text (mac) - they'll just not be pasted leaving only text. |

Why do people keep telling me my site looks awful? @Abe hmmm you can see it by looking back in time using archive.org web.archive.org/web/20100813080556/http://stackoverflow.com/… |

How can I show a database graphically? Some people have posted answers about what tools to use: we've got a separate earlier question on what tools to use to make node link diagrams. (also, Abe says (below) it's the approach not the tool that this question is about) |
