Importing spreadsheet data as layers into Adobe Illustrator @JeremyMiller That method sounds interesting. You can put up an answer saying something like "This method got me some of the way, but didn't do [X]. Here's what I did...". It might give someone an idea of how to take your idea and make it work. |

Icon to best convey “Make a new post”? +1 for plus sign in a meaningful icon like a speech bubble or document icon, which adds something over earlier suggestions. It's worth mentioning that pencil icons are often used to mean "Edit", so that might confuse. That said, there's some disagreement over whether anyone actually understands this symbolism, and if they do, whether they think of edit and create as being different actions, or the same action (go to a page where you can write), so it could work depending on context. |

Importing spreadsheet data as layers into Adobe Illustrator Assuming you have access to it, I'd strongly recommend following KMSTR's advice: Place ( File > Place) your Illustrator-format business card graphics into an InDesign document (without any text), add and format the text in InDesign (which has better text support than Illustrator anyway), then use InDesign's data merge function, which is purpose-designed for cases like yours. |

Importing spreadsheet data as layers into Adobe Illustrator +1, but two thoughts: first up, while the original asker clearly knows what to do with code like this, what would you suggest for a non-coding designer looking for the simplest way to run this code? Any suggestions that don't involve having to install, figure out and run a local PHP/webserver stack? Also, this code will go wrong if there's a comma within a cell (e.g. addresses, or if a job title was "Founder, CEO and Head Honcho") - maybe use a parsing function like fgetcsv or str-getcsv? |

Overcoming creative blocks: how to break out of current mindsets Can you give a few bullet points or notes outlining some of the key points to give an idea of the gist? I'm sure it's worth watching (hell, it's John Cleese...) but it's a good practice to summarise external links so people know what they're getting. Also some folk can't do audio at work, and it's always possible the video might be taken down. Cheers :) |

Make Angled Guides in Illustrator CS5 One of the most useful keyboard shortcuts in Illustrator is ctrl-U (or cmd-U) - it switches smart guides on and off. Personally I usually have them turned off to keep the app responsive, and switch them on when I'm doing anything that needs to be precise. |

Endnotes in InDesign: Closest thing to a pain-free, flexible workflow? Just discovered the commercial InDesign plugin Sonar Bookends InfNote, though I'm instinctively skeptical of sites selling design tools for hundreds of dollars that have magenta backgrounds and unstyled html tables... They claim to support CS6, can't find any reviews of it. |
