comment How to achieve this torn paper effect?
Although that question is closed as off-topic. I don't think it would be now.

Also, upvote for actually putting something more useful than "what's this font?" in the question heading!

comment How should I handle vector artwork and images for street pole-sized ads?
The proof of the pudding is in the output. Check that by printing a portion at full scale!

Yes, you need to make it clear if it's a problem in your output or just on the display.

It may be from the future, but it's spent a while in the late 80s!

comment How to image trace halftones in Illustrator
Can you clarify if you want this to resemble a closeup of a printed halftone? The angle of the screen suggests so, but the result is far too well defined.

@Scott, similar, but not a duplicate in my opinion - the same approach could work for both, but won't give best results. The other question demands genuinely monoline lettering.

comment How do I turn a full color design, into a 1-color design?
You could also save your images as greyscale TIFF and tint them in InDesign. This would be more flexible if you needed to change the ink colour.

@DA01: this answer isn't wrong as such - a monotone is a single channel image with instructions to print (and preview) in a specific ink. But Bakabaka's answer gives more context on when you'd do this.

comment When learning about graphic design and art shouldn't students be taught to use black paper and white pencils
I think the key question "why don't we learn to draw white-on-black?" is a good one.

comment Which Photoshop features are affected by different DPI or PPI tags?
Good summary. But I think the way this starts is a bit confusing. "which — if any — features in Photoshop change depending on the document's DPI/PPI? Anything measured in non-pixel units will be affected." Sounds like changing DPI will actually change size of text and shapes. I know you clarify this later, but wonder if you could edit to make it a bit more clear...

comment Which Photoshop features are affected by different DPI or PPI tags?
I think this question is missing "all else remaining equal - i.e. without changing the pixel dimensions of the image".

I don't think this really addresses the simple question being asked.

comment Designing by the grid 1140px
If you increase one column by 50px in a two-column layout of fixed width, you need to take 50px off the other column.

comment Designing by the grid 1140px
Can you clarify what you are actually asking here? The column proportions are going to change if you change their widths while keeping the overall width the same.

You really need to post a scan or photo of the original.
