Hey! A vector artwork Unicorn Strike (trying to practice and develop my own style) to brighten your day — or simply for anyone who loves unicorns, madness, or all of the above. :)

Vector rules! :)

Here are my very first illustrations, just getting started to learn the app on my own and currently am learning the tools :3

Any recommendations or advice?

Designing my logo in illustrator and I’ve run into a problem, the text with “empty space” in the letters gets filled in with the rest of the text, anybody know how to fix this ASAP? Thank you!! I’ve attached a image.

Hey all! I am a high school teacher who was tasked with creating our school's yearbook this year. The yearbook committee voted on a Spotify theme and brought me this design. For context, I do not know much about Illustrator and am unsure where to start. Any tips would be immensely helpful

Hello everyone Good evening, May I ask if it is possible to make these words get into the spiral thing? I was planning to make a graphics abt it where there is this vortex spiral thingy that has all of these negative words but I have not found a single tutorial as to how. Im not sure if it is possible but if it is I would like to know and would be thankful for your help😔 I tried a lot of tutorials but it didnt go well so I thought of asking here. Thank you once again!

Anyone knows how to make the anchor point symmetrical? On the past (circa CS6), together with the make anchor point curve or not curve (??) buttons, there was the option to make its handles symmetrical, asymmetrical or independent, but nowadays the option is gone and I couldn't find it anywhere else... I know opt/alt + clicking make it independent, but is there a way to undo it?

it’s my first time testing out illustrator so ignore the shitty work, but there’s this random white rectangle that’s appeared on my page. i can’t select it, move it, or get rid of it. can someone help? thanks :)

I can't get rid of these black lines inside my path. Can you help me?
The fill should be red and the stroke white, but I don't understand why I keep seeing these black outlines.
Please folks, help me.

Holy Moly how do I opt out of illustrator gathering data everytime it crashes. It takes forever to close.

Hi guys, junior graphic designer here… please list me the exact steps of how to perfectly set up a complicated vector illustration with multiple effects like shadows, glowing and texture for PRINT from adobe illustrator as pdf without losing quality! Would be highly appreciated! Thanks in advance! 🙏

Text boxes behave as if they have a fill and as a result are entirely selectable. In this example, the only way to select the pink stroke would be to use the command+click option to "select behind" (which never seems to work first try) or to move the text to a lower layer.

From a technical standpoint, the size of the bounding box makes sense since it takes in to account all of the descenders, ascenders, accents, and default minimum line height for the entire font, so I have no issue with the physical size. It's the simple fact that empty portions of the text frame should not interfere with selection when there is literally no vector artwork present.

In the preferences, there is a check box under 'selection and anchor display' for "object selection by path only." This ends up being a pretty tricky way to work since it's effectively outline mode, but there's an obvious logic as to why a user might want that ability. I am BEGGING Illustrator to add a similar preference (or even default behavior) for "text selection by character only." Obviously, the outer path, anchors, and handles would still be selectable.

I’m using an old machine, 2017 iMac running Ventura, which is probably part of the problem, but I’m unable to use text in either program because they can’t seem to load fonts.

Ps gives me a message about a previous font issue, and Ai just gives me the spinning beachball.

Started with Ps a few weeks ago and now Ai this week.

Anyone encountered this?

and 2 different simple example :) maybe it will be useful to someone:)

Al momento de descargar como archivo dxf y abrirlos desde ilustrator el archivo refleja las capas exportadas de cad, pero no muestra nada en la hoja, podrían ayudarme por favor
Intenté con exportar como PDF pero no funcionó dado a que con los ángulos se crean líneas gruesas que luego no se pueden modificar

Soy nueva usando Illustrator y estoy intentando añadir un punto a una figura ya existente. ¿Cómo se hace eso? Todos los vídeos son de más de 2 años y muestran que en pluma hay una opción específica para añadir puntos, pero a mi no me sale. ¿Qué hago?

I go to a trade school and am going into graphic design. I am in the multimedia class. And I decided to try Illustrator on my home computer to get the basics before we do it in a couple weeks or months. So I'm set when we do it. This is my first attempt at a logo.

It is supposed to be the logo to my YouTube. The D on the hat being the initial. And its supposed to be a skull with a pirate hat. I'm quite proud of it. I did search up some things. But most of this I learned along the way.
