Q: What can symbolize both beauty and relaxation?

PranabI am looking for a symbol that suggests beauty, and connotes relaxation as well. The context is that I am making an icon for a spa and salon finder service. At the beginning it seemed like a rich topic with a lot of potential symbols. However after some research, it seems like beauty and relaxa...

Am I right that the best symbol of the Beauty and Relaxation is a CAT?

@Darth_Vader damn I just typed an answer can it be reopened by chance? the unicode thing. I don't want to give him the benefit of having a question closed
@Ryan to??
tp?
what question?
the unicode one?
yeah
12:43
thanks feel free to re-close it if you want haha
or leave it, makes no difference to me
@Darth_Vader thanks, and good morning
good morning.
only reason I can think of them asking for unicode is if they have a font with diacritics
he's just trying to find anything he can that we'll deem off-topic to have on-topic at typography. Its really obnoxious and I'm getting real sick of being nice to the guy
He was pinging me all evening making edits on top of edits trying to prove how clever he is to come up with some obscure thing. None of which makes sense.
link? Im afraid Im unsure what you're talking about
off-topic, can you actually download kindle files other than having them on the device and copying them over?
I've put PDF books from laptop onto someone's kindle. No idea about getting them off though

Typography

Proposed Q&A site for professionals working in typesetting; printing; font design or peoples interested in increasing the legibility of their professionals texts.

Currently in definition.

like the hyphen question at the bottom - originally it was just, "When to use a hyphen in English?" Then after my comment he pinged me twice while changing it to say a "Unicode Hyphen" because that makes any difference...

A: Please find more off-topic content on Graphics design in order to make this site unique

MattTypography is welcome on GD.SE and we welcome all types of typography questions that are actually answerable and not opinion based. I would encourage you to purpose modification to how handle typography on meta.gd.se and we, as a community, can address it and figure out how we can enhance our ty...

just reading what he is putting I think he needs to learn what the SE model is about.
I don't know if English isn't his first language or he's just deliberately trying to make it difficult so he can start his own exchange. His comment to DA01 for example doesn't make sense to me: graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/54806/…
Like @DA. basically left a brief answer-as-comment and he linked to his typography proposal saying someone else disagrees with DA. Unless I'm just not following which is possible, I have been running on little sleep :(
I commented on that question and answered it
so hows your day going!
13:19
so tired
you?
you bulking up?
trying to
didnt sleep enough last night
zombie today
I really need to spend time working on my personal website
need help let me know
and Ill find some time to assist

I just need to figure out a platform. I bought the domain and dropped Wordpress on it but not sold on using it. Of course I'm also not really sure what I want to focus on which is another issue
part of me wants to just buy a different domain name and try building a workout log webapp
but if I do that I'll probably try running it in either Django or Rails while I should be learning PHP if I'm going to be handling the company website
13:40
Im a big WP fan
for web apps too?
(while drinking my coffee I'm practicing some photo touchup on a picture of myself, the book I bought doesn't discuss how to clean up nose hair and its not going well hahahaha)
nah swift for apps
swift? Isn't that for iOS?
yes
some good tutorials out on it now, too
lynda, tree, codeschool if I recall
I don't really think of iOS / Android Apps as web apps. those are Smartphone Apps to me. Webapps are apps that run in browser. At least in my mind.
14:06
should've brought the guide on photo retouching with me. Can't quite figure out how to remove a light spot from my forehead

Is it on topic to post a question (and answer it) about fixing an issue with Photoshop even though the issue is caused by—and fixed through—a setting with Windows?
@Keavon hello. Its hard to say without knowing the issue, it might be considered technical support.
@Ryan: Sometimes images opened in Photoshop appear washed out/lighter than the actual image when viewed in any other program. It's caused by Photoshop reading the Windows color profiles which might be wrong, and you can fix it by adding an sRGB color profile as the default in Windows.
I could see that being a very good question if you word it like, "Aside from expensive Monitor calibration tools how might I get more accurate colors within Photoshop?" or something like that
@Ryan: But wording it like that would be entirely incorrect. The issue is that Photoshop doesn't display the correct colors of the file it opens
alright well word it how you see fit, my point was more try to word it in a way that doesn't describe it as "fixing an issue" or at least without that wording
if you say "fixing an issue" people might close it as tech support without even reading it
16:50
If I worded the title "Images in Photoshop appear washed out" do you think that would survive if I gave both a question and answer initially?
yeah probably be alright
17:48
@Ryan: Thanks. I have posted it now, so hopefully some people find it useful in the future! graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/54850/…
18:17
@Darth_Vader should I take a step back from the site? Am I being too harsh these days?
18:33
@Ryan I havent seen any issues.. I do think a lot of members are getting tired of the backwards direction and the constant tech support feeling
18:44
@Darth_Vader Did you see the expand question?
@Ryan no I havent

Q: What does Expand Apearance do in Adobe Illustrator?

Ejaz KarimAs the title asks what does it do? When and why we need it? Can anybody explain with an example for me?

ill take care of it
Oh I dont mind the vulgarity towards me at all. I would've flagged it if I felt it went really overboard. I'm more wondering if I was off-base for voting to close since User doesn't agree and there's upvotes on both sides of the comments
I see both sides, really he should have posted more but you cant make everyone happy
link to the question on meta in regards to downvoting

@scott has teamed up with community O_O
That was weird... I thought a mod closed it and just used "community" as a sock puppet.
But then I realized "community" IS a sock puppet for SE staff :)
In light of the typography proposal, I'm proposing more...
png.stackexchange.com
resolution.stackexchange.com
DPI.stackexchange.com
PDF.stackexchange.com
JPG.stackexchange.com
Gradients.stackexchange.com
Layout.stackexchange.com
Balance.stackexchange.com
Color.stackexchange.com
I propose the number2.stackexchange.com its a very versatile number and deserves its own place for discussion.

The level of written English in questions is really appalling at times. Is it just due to non-English speakers (which I doubt, those are generally clear) or lazy people?
@scott I blame Obama
What was the question?
Just many questions lately... one long, rambling paragraph with TXT speak in them half the time.
I'm working on some sales pieces that ... well... make me laugh... They are 24-36 pages of how Obama is going to RUIN your life. Just fear-mongering. I hate the text of the pieces... but I'm a whore and do what I'm paid to do much of the time.
I made the mistake of looking at fitness.stackexchange again - typed a long rant in their meta that I'm now going to delete wasting much of the afternoon :\
oops
yeah... I started to do something like that on freelance.. then realize, what's the point?

Q: Are you allowed to tag questions by domain?

sixtyfootersdudeIs tagging questions by domain allowed? For example the maps tag has a good number of topics. I would like to propose a medicine or medical for several of the questions here. It seems like applications in medicine will have different design goals than something like games. Before creating t...
