Black & white photocopies as posters? Another cost saving option they might not have considered is using one, maybe two spot colors instead of CMYK. Can be cheaper. Also, if they are a popular cause, it can't hurt to phone around asking printers if they'll give a discount in return for, say, a small logo/credit on each unit. Would beat b/w photocopies, and the worst a print shop can do is say no. |

How to select a difference of two layers? When merging layers creates undesirable effects, and you just want the layers how they look right now, a simple workaround is select all, then Copy merged, then paste (make sure a visible non-locked pixel layer is selected when you Copy Merged). So if, for example, you try Scott's answer but the Merge Visible step messes things up, try substituting Copy Merged instead then carry on as before. |

Getting better at drawing I'm voting to close as this question is currently so broad it's impossible to answer. But please do come back with more questions when you hit specific answerable problems, and hopefully these comments are a useful starting point. Good luck! |

Getting better at drawing Re. "Do I just need to practice? or is it something you can't learn?" - that book I linked to starts with the artist who wrote it telling the story of how her dream art teacher initially rejected teaching her as he felt she didn't have the ability. With loads of practice and hard work, she conclusively proved him wrong. Practice -> skill -> technically proficient drawings. Talent plus experience (which includes practice again!) -> good eye and judgement -> drawings and designs that work. |

Getting better at drawing Drawing is a big field and different styles and subjects need different principles. There aren't just whole books on how to draw - but whole bookshelves of very different books on different styles. There are many good drawing questions here, I'd suggest reading them, trying things out, then coming back with more specific questions based on your experience. Book tip: Lessons on Classical Drawing is great: classic, timeless, but not stuffy. |

How to package all faces of a font into one family file (Mac) @Scott wow, I hate it when vendors cripple their own software like that. There will be some small software out there somewhere that does this... (the only other two candidates I know of are Windows only, Typograph and Font Creator ). There's one potential alternate approach, which is hacking that Mac font cache list thing. Quick google finds this - sounds hacky, but it's an official Apple source from Feb 2012, so should be legit. |

How to package all faces of a font into one family file (Mac) Quick note on FontForge - it's considered to be equal in features to the $650 FontLab (some say it has more), and inconvenient install and ugly UI seem the main downsides. If you're not creating or editing fonts every week, it's a great way to simply add a powerful font tool to your belt. Comparison article: ilovetypography.com/2007/10/22/… If you plan to create or edit fonts regularly, then something slicker like Fontlab will be a good investment. Steps for this task will be very similar: Import OTF, edit same lines in Font Info, Export OTF. |
