A: What does "Volt = 71R , Black = OOA" mean in terms of color?

Mister XI work for the company that appears to be your client. These are internal color codes that do not correspond to any color system, RGB, CMYK, etc. As has been suggested, you should ask for the corresponding color system info. 71R Volt is a standard fluorescent yellow. 00A Black is standard black....

well that's awesome.

Hi
I know this could be a bad question. But I have tried my best to get it. Still I got down votes.

Q: creating this type of logo

AnonymousI have been trying to make this logo, but as I am new to illustrator, I am unable to get the way he has done. Can someone help me please how to achieve that logo and with multicolor for each repeating shape? I have got till this image.

Is my question that vague? :(
 
5:33 PM
well your question is very basic.
and at best its not a logo.. its an arc
also your question, to a degree, is asking for work. All design software takes practice, practice, practice and again more practice.. There is really nothing someone can do for you, other than 1) Make a tutorial, which is not the scope of GD 2) Do your work, which again isnt the scope of GD. We are here to assist and educate but we are not here to do people's work.
@rick have you not read the comments below?
 
It's not my work o_O
I am just practicing it.
 
still... have you not read what is commented? Not trying to be rude but the comments are clear.. Are they not?
 
@Matt_2.0 Well, in that video tutorial. I made up to that arc what he said, later I am unable to understand. I am not referring that arc as logo, instead I am referring logo which is in that tutorial.
 
sorry havent had time to watch the video but if you search for man articles on illustrator the cover what your image shows.
 
The image I have shown is the thing that I got. It is not the final output that is presented in that tutorial.
 
5:42 PM
@rick Still.. that is off topic on GD. We do not create work for people but help people in areas they may be lost. Your question is unclear, as stated in the comments and we are not understanding what your issue is. That is why @Bakabaka mentioned trying a few tutorial sites.
As @boblet posted:
It is still very hard to glean what it is that is tripping you up, and what you want to achieve. I second @Bakabaka in that some basic tutorials is the first step. You need to be specific, and you could add some screenshots to your question.
 
I am already doing what bakabaka said. Okay, fine. Leav it. got one more negative. Might be because of asking here. Thanks for your time.
 
May I suggest you try some other tutorials and try to get a better understanding of what you need? If you learn what you are trying to do it would help in your question and help you be able to ask a better question at that.
@rick Good luck. You can edit your question if you can identify better where you are tripping up.
 
Okay. thanks.
 
6:20 PM
@rick I left a comment with the basic steps to get the shapes. Your question is exceptionally broad and is basically asking for a transcript of the video. If you were to ask "How do I duplicate objects around a center point... like in this video" that would be more on-topic. But simply asking "How do I make this?" Is off-topic.
Be aware we already have a few questions regarding "duplicating objects around a center point in Illustrator." so searching for that may be helpful.
 
7:01 PM
@Scott I dont think anything we really said was registering
it appeared he was more concerned about the downvotes and mastering the video when he shouldnt have been watching it and focusing on beginner tutorials.

@Scott is this still the case beyond CS5? graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/a/25268/8708
settings appear to be in sync. Both are set to North America General Purpose 2
 
9:43 PM
Guys the Freeman debate continues!
 
@JennaDesign lol it hit on Yahoo news
 
the question got quite a lot of views
the questions asked before and after it: 15 views
that question: 700 views
:P
 
@JohnB is there a generic function in php for esc_attr__()
 
I just read the Yahoo news ( uk.movies.yahoo.com/… ) I don't know what tobelieve though @Scott has convinced me in terms of pain with numbers, assuming that that's how he did. I think my favourite line is 'Lambert used a portrait picture taken by photographer Scott Gries, but if anything, the definition looks higher and more detailed on Lambert's 'painted' version'
...how could it look better if @Daniel Foran was right and it's actually just the photo in the end...
Wait @John B are your colours not in sync despite having the same settings? :S
 
@JennaDesign ...I thought this was normal for everyone...until now
do you have CS5?
 
9:54 PM
Yeah, I'm going to check if I have that problem
I presumed I didn't
 
I tried creating both CMYK and RGB documents in PS and AI
 
im on cs5.5
 
they were the same for 431U within PS and AI, but not across programs
welcome, new top bar overlord
 
mmm.. dat black
 
@John B I've got the same Hex codes in PS as I get in AI when selecting a colour. There are some differences though for example CMYK, C might be 77 in PS but 78 in AI..
 
10:04 PM
@iKlsR It's #212121, not black!!
 
@JohnB hipster
 
B)
 
I'm more of a #1E1E1E ya dig..
 
@JennaDesign which Pantone colors did you test?
 
@John B I wasn't dedicated enough to the cause to test pantone colours. I opened an old jpeg in both programs and checked the same box of colour with the eyedropper tool in each
 
10:09 PM
@JennaDesign Ah, this is a Pantone problem for me. I've never tested a jpeg
I'll have to try and do a fresh install test when I have some time
 
I'll have to up skill with colour knowledge and make sure I don't have similar problems...back to the grindstone for me!
 
It's usually a problem for me when I need to combine raster and vector elements for a proof
Make something PMS350 in Photoshop, bring it in to Illustrator, set vector elements to PMS350, now they do not match
Scott brings me hope that this can be fixed, could be that I just screwed up a setting somewhere
 
AHHHHHHH what the hell happened to the top bar????
John.. using Photoshop CC, Illustrator CS6, and Indesign CS5.5 I get the same CMYK breakout (within .2%) for those colors.
So.. it is possible. Why your system isnt' showing that, I can't say.
 
I'm definitely going to investigate. If I can get it to be consistent, I would be so happy
It doesn't take me that much time to force it to match if needed, but it is still a pain and something that has annoyed me for a long time
 
It would drive me nuts... not that I'm sane now.. but still...
 
10:22 PM
so.....who else doesn't like the new top bar? :)
I really don't like grey text on black
nor blue on black
I think I would be happier if the SE logo was greyscale
 
oh snap.. it just updated on GD
 
 
took me a bit to find the chat link
 
ha it shows my everthing accross all sites now
@Scott ha they made it HARDER
 
yup
 
10:26 PM
I'm fine with the organization of it, I'll get used to it. But blue on black....errrgg
 
or just more localized
yeah they shoudl greyscale that logo
it works okay on blue sites.. but on others like SO or English it just doesn't work as blue.
 
yep
 
so... when do we get a new site? john...
and where has Yisela been?
we finally get another female and Yisela is MIA
 
Board Games is next up to get a new design. They said it would happen after the top bar launched
so that should be soon
Yisela is somewhere in the far east
 
so we dont get a review of whats to transpire?
 
10:31 PM
I don't know how they will handle it, it's done differently each time
 
thought she said she would be gone for 2 weeks? Hasnt it been longer?
 
sometimes there is a thread asking for input, sometimes not
 
lol... asking a slew of designers for input sounds... scary.
 
there's always a "Proposed Design" thread where everyone can offer critiques
 
that would be the most answered question on GD
 
10:32 PM
haha
 
it would be nice if we could do a alternating theme..
today.. Ill go flat... tomorrow... vintage.. next day.. clean.
 
like one that alternates between pink and green every 2 seconds
oh yeah sure like that, that would be good too
 
animated background gifs too
 
absolutely
 
@JohnB pink... green.. sounds like a brain anurism
FLAMES, cant forget FLAMES
and this:
 
10:34 PM
there's also a lot of empty space next to the GD logo, we should fill that with something. Can't have any wasted space here
 
cant forget that as a separator.
 
@John B I'm pretty sure I just messed something up awfully, both programs crashed! But again, my hex codes were the same and my CMYKs were off
 
@JennaDesign sounds like a tech support issue... =P
 
@Matt_2.0 my eyes! o.o
 
@JennaDesign that is some extreme testing if you got the programs to crash o.o
 
10:36 PM
so I think we made the new guy mad with his beginner question.
 
I'll VBox it and test it on a fresh install
 
I don't recommend many tabs and very many different colour profiles on an evidently unhappy machine. I'm going to leave this and come back to it when I have a solid understanding of what I'm doing :)
 
@JennaDesign so jenna educate us about yoursel
not putting you on the spot at all... by the way.
 
@Matt_2.0 now it feels like an AA room or something:P
I'm Jenna, I'm actually not an alcoholic
 
whats wrong with that??
 
10:39 PM
Hi Jenna
 
hi Im matt.. Im a designer... stuck in the 90s.
hi jenna
 
Hi matt
 
Well @Matt_2.0 GD is a questions and answers site, not an alcoholics forum
:D
 
I'm John, I work mostly in screen printing and sometimes in other kinds of printing
 
I'm a designer enthusiast working my ass off to get some real design chops. I spent the summer doing an internship in a small irish company making wedding invitations
 
10:41 PM
oh boy, I bet you know all the good wedding fonts
 
but now I really want to step in to game design and that sort of thing, dude there are so many wedding fonts you don't even know! I think I prefer design pre-printer though I like to keep it on screen
I've graduated (yay) degree in multimedia and irish...unfortunately not a lot of design was covered in multimedia so now I'm a vulcher for knowledge!
 
Well you are among some pros....and also me
 
Nothing better than a job that supplied a beer tab to Killian's Red Ale at your desk!
 
@JohnB that's exactly why I'm here, I want to be at a place where stupid mistakes won't be cajoled and encourage - I'd rather @Matt_2.0 hilariously cut me down. Literally I read every answer in an extremely flat tone
@Scott perhaps we should consider an AA wing to the room :)
 
I sometimes try to put some humor in answers, I'm sure it fails to work that way and I just look like an idiot
It's funny to me and that's all that matters. Probably
 
10:48 PM
Could be worse, could be a bad pun. :)
 
@JennaDesign what I do??
@JohnB humor is not allowed on GD
 
@Matt_2.0 You don't pander to people
 
@JennaDesign whats this pander you speak of?
 
@Matt_2.0 you don't tolerate silliness
...or humour evidently :P
 
Pander Express? They have good orange chicken
 
10:50 PM
please... Im Mr. humor..
just havent been here long enough, lol
Pandaa express blows
 
haven't had it since college
 
What makes you think I dont' already have an AA wing Jenna?
It's full of my Latino friends.. Don Julio, Jose Guervo....
 
Guys, the Saturn gif just looks like flushing neon goop or something, @Scott, because this is 'An open room for art & design enthusiasts, and cat gifs.' @JohnB closed the room for 10 seconds for an awful pun. Surely you don't get to have AA in here and count it as on topic?? :)
...Panda express?
 
"chinese" food place in America
 
@Scott send my love to your Latino friends :D
Oh I studied a year in Miami, American chinese food is gross!
 
10:55 PM
you take that back
 
I think there was a panda express on campus, I can't take it back John, it's out there man. Their noodles solidify!
and bond together
 
you just aren't eating it fast enough, that's what America is all about
 
it's fascinating and disgusting all at once
I was rationing my food, I'm irish I still have to get over the whole famine thing!
 
hmm.... "it's fascinating and disgusting all at once" just like Americans.
 
hahah
 
11:00 PM
I don't know how to respond to that without either passing the insult on to somebody else or feeling bad about insulting Americans when I had such a good time there...
difficult silence?
I think difficult silence is my best option
 
Nah.... we're all pretty light-hearted here. You'll have to try much harder to insult us :)
 
I think Americans are all fed up with other Americans enough that it's safe to throw insults
I'll just assume you're talking about everyone else, of course not me
 
we know that 90% of the Americans the go abroad are overweight, rich, and annoying... so that's the impression much of the world has of us :)
 
Of course, never you
 
11:02 PM
I was talking about John
 
and now I will cry myself to sleep
...but at least I'm fascinating?
 
If you aren't crying yourself to sleep every night already, you aren't toiling over designs enough :)
 
See that's the thing Scott, when I was there I knew like 2 overweight people and I was there for a year! Obesity seems to have gotten much worse in Ireland and the UK than it seemed to be to me in Miami, a lot of people were really health senstive and stuff
 
hah well you were in Miami
 
...@Scott, is that your pro opinion on design life? :)
 
11:03 PM
Yeha it's a generalization. There is a weight issue in teh US. Bt that doesn't mean everyone is overweight.
 
...Oh I'm sorry is Miami not American enough for you?
 
no, Miami is full of attractive people
Miami and LA
 
Miami is a hot bed of ... well... hotties
 
go visit *looks around* New York City and then form an opinion
 
Ok, so EVERYWHERE else people are fat
 
11:04 PM
if you were to go to say.. Nebraska... you'd have a different impression
 
haha hot bed of hotties
that's a pretty great sentence
 
And all done with as little innuendo as possible :)
 
Good lord don't start innuendos, the only thing I find more hilarious than an awful pun is a shameless innuendo
 
I'll shut up here then :)
 
...I've also just now figured out where Nebraska is...I just failed at geography right there
I mean you don't want to get the pun police after ya @Scott , right @JohnB ?
 
11:08 PM
It's dead center.
 
I'm outta here, see you all later
 
@JohnB I broke down and bought an XBox One as well
See ya
 
Have you used it much yet? I'll want to hear your opinion on it
you give good unfiltered opinions
 
It arrives Friday
 
As well, does that mean you have a PS4 and can do a genuine comparison?
 
11:09 PM
I'll have them side by side for comparison
 
I would appreciate that!
 
yup. PS4 is Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek compared to teh PS3
 
awesome, can't wait to hear about it. Adios!
 
Wait until Christmas 2014 for the PS4. It's not worth it this year
 
Give reasons when you get a chance, I'm going to shoot off now too but it would be brilliant if I could read them, later guys!
 
11:11 PM
PS4 need about 4 or 5 system software upgrades to even be on par with the PS3 abilities.
PS4 plays blu-ray but NOT 3D Blu-ray
PS4 can't play media from USB sticks
You can't store media on the PS4
They've made the PS4 an only-game and Playstation network deivce
You can only watch movies from the PSN
It's no longer a "media hub" it's a game console
My PS3 does 200% more than my PS4 does
That being posted, the PS4 is quieter, controller is much nicer, and the onscreen menus look better
Sony has stated that eventually the PS4 will be able to do everythign the PS3 does
But it can't at this time. It's like having a PS2 again only better on screeen grphics
 
I HATE 5PM meetings!
 
it's 3
 
5:15 here
 
well move, then no more 5pm meetings :)
 
great... I get tasked with building a web crawler.. awesomeness..
