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) |

a hotkey for entering text-editing mode with Type tool in illustrator ...and then when you're in a text frame, Escape takes you out of it and puts you back into selection mode (V), and automatically selects the text frame you were in. Same in InDesign, Photoshop etc. |

Is there a term for 'reference-marker symbols'? +1 it's also a relevant typography terminology question. |

What is the best way to save an image to a publication that will allow you to zoom in to greater detail @Jason If it was on a web page it was probably something like Zoomify, there are loads and loads of little Javascript widgets like that, browse them. But they're based on regular image files (or, images chopped into tiles), not PDFs |

What is the best way to save an image to a publication that will allow you to zoom in to greater detail Agreed - as I said in my comment to the question and in bold in the first point of my answer, what can be done with ISSUU depends on questions about what ISSUU is capable of which should be addressed to ISSUU staff. |

What is the best way to save an image to a publication that will allow you to zoom in to greater detail I think there's two parts to this: what can be done to include awkwardly long infographics in publications in general, which we can help with (see answer below), and what features does ISSUU have for magnifying images or attaching files, which probably only ISSUU themselves can answer. |

Photoshop Sticky Shift Key Since this is a technical 'under the hood' problem with Adobe software I'd recommend using the Adobe forums. They have Adobe employees, technicians, and software people who know almost every Adobe bug. Tell them the exact version number ( Help > About Photoshop, e.g. 13.0.1 x64). Also, check for updates. |

I am trying to identify this font used in RSK Group's logo Very very similar, but the S is different. Good call though. |

Retina Display Email Signature HTML emails are a living hell, most email clients don't even do CSS floats or background images... Here's a guy's test of SVG in HTML email (follow link then click through arrows). It only worked in Thunderbird, Apple stuff and Android 4.0 - didn't work in anything else. |

What is the effect of ligatures in web, regarding SEO Look at the URL of the first link and the source code it matches: you'll see Google doesn't (currently...) have problems with the unicode formatting, and it indexes unicode ligatures, HTML entity ligatures and regular separate character pairs like f i as equivalent without any problems. Google seems to cope fine - but, the inconsistency between different search engines is (in my book at least) a dealbreaker. |

What is the effect of ligatures in web, regarding SEO Yup, that should be fine - search engines usually index the original document without applying javascript. You'd probably want to check that it doing so wasn't slowing down the page load time significantly and that there isn't a jarring jolt for the viewer when the vanilla characters are replaced with the ligatures during page load. |

What is the effect of ligatures in web, regarding SEO I definitely agree with "extremely concerned", unicode support is notoriously inconsistent. But for the record google can (currently...) index unicode and does (currently...) match those unicode ligatures on that page with searches for l i f i etc (see how it bolds them in the preview). But I definitely wouldn't want to ever rely on it... |
