![]() ![]() See ya!įrom Creative Intuition: "When working with a printer or promotional products vendor or sign company they will most likely ask for your logo as an “EPS” or “vector file.” If you don’t have this file type you need to get it from the designer that created the original art. Not going to gain much insight from people that are stuck in the 90s. ![]() Well, I can see what kind of "progressive" designers are on these forums. Otherwise, what decade are you talking about? I have color ads running in national magazines every day. ![]() Rasterized type from Photoshop? If you're printing in black and white on newsprint, I would say you're correct. Who uses Quark any more? Long dead, though I have encountered companies that refuse to give it up. Thanks Again To All Whom Have Posted Here, This has been a most invigorating and informative discussion and has awakened and enlivened some very essential information about Illustrator which should always be kept close at hand. As it is, A tightly cropped and grouped Illustrator file can be placed into another Illustrator file and is scaleable with no loss and is 'set in stone' as the logo - so no chance of unwanted alterations after the fact. Or, if I need another file format, I can export to a suitable resolution bitmap file if that would be needed. Practicality is key in this discussion and a native Illustrator file can be brought into InDesign or wherever I need it. As you all have me seeing the light on this subject now I can see that if I want my 'finished' art to be on one layer, then I would need to re-construct the file and save as a new file where I, 'by hand' build the resulting one layer from elements needed from the other layers, with fills where there is color and just the most elemental paths that are needed to make the one-layer rendition work. Just close the disclosure arrow that reveals the sublayers and you can pretend they're not even there if they bug you.Īnd this is what I come up to as a conclusion to this whole informative and also entertaining discussion: Illustrator is an 'Object-Oriented' program and as such, layers have nothing to do with what I am trying to do. Grouping the layers will get you the closest to what you're after, but you will never be able to get rid of all the sublayers, because Illustrator is object-oriented, which means your graphics are composed of objects with a stacking order, i.e., layers. Ken, you have a fundamental misunderstanding of how Illustrator works. ![]()
