Which is easier on the eyes: dark-on-light or light-on-dark? +1 Great answer! It also explains why in my personal experience I find pure white on black harder to read than mid-light greys but no equivalent problem with black on white. I'd wondered about that for a long time. |

Set the rotation point in Illustrator and use Transform Each Actually T11's method works well, and can be used to effectively permanently alter the centre used in Transform Each scaling, moving or rotation. The slight variant in my comment on that answer is good for temporarily changing the centre. |

Where to find people interested in collaborative work between designers and programmers @John Also, don't forget that this site has a disproportionately high number of designer/developer hybrids due to the association with stackoverflow.com. Most members of most other design sites won't even know what that site is, whereas here, many of us have active accounts on it. I went the opposite way: learned design then branched out to programming, used stackoverflow, then discovered this site through it. Both backgrounds are unusually common among people on this site, but outside of this site, it's quite rare to have a good amount of skills in both areas. |

Is QuarkXpress still relevant? +1 for looking for objective evidence. I'd favour Google Trends over search results for a rough snapshot, e.g. google.com/trends/… , it's based on what people are looking for rather than what people have written about and shows the trend over time |

Repeat client is suddenly demanding intellectual property rights! See also Charging an Intellectual Property transfer fee for design work. Make sure the distinction between end product and source files is very clear. What should be in a job contract might also help. Tip: ALWAYS have a contract, even for friends and family. If you're giving real working time, have real parameters. AIGA have a standard template |

How can I make a screenshot look like a photograph taken of a real surface? The possible duplicate specifies Photoshop and the answer given is a Photoshop filter that might not exist in gimp - there's room for a gimp and Photoshop version of this question. Retagging |

How should I handle vector artwork and images for street pole-sized ads? Sounds like the same basic problem as Why are imported PDFs blurry in InDesign?, with eps not pdf showing the symptoms and with images that appear more pixelated than blurred. I'm pretty sure the same answers (particularly, Joonas's) apply. |

Why are imported PDFs blurry in InDesign? Just adding some relevant search terms: this happens with any type of placed file, not just pdf and raster images (also eps, ai, psd, etc). It also sometimes shows more as blocky pixelation than blurring. |

How would I know how good of a designer I am? :D great response, I certainly think that a positive attitude to life involves reaching phase 4, then looking for new challenges! |

How would I know how good of a designer I am? +1 I love that four phases idea. Also reminds me of the cycle of life: overwhelmed child, overconfident adolescent, overworked adult, then some people reach a level of success and seniority where they're over worrying and just do it. I'm hoping to get there in, maybe, 4-6 years. Is it adapted from one or more books/articles etc, or is it a personal observation? Also would you say that your phase 4 is/relates to that unscientific but appealing 10,000 hours to mastery idea? |
