Joining Lines in Adobe Illustrator CS5 for beginner

well without too much chit chat lets begin then

1. draw random line. eg: from top to bottom art board

2. this is your end point. its important to know where is your "end point" of the line since what AI does is joining the both open "end point".

3. ok now draw another line. eg. straight line, we're gonna join this line/ path with the previous one

4. now this is the second "end point" of your new line/ path

5. Select all the path Objects

6. now after selecting both path go to 

Object > Path > Join

or you can use Ctrl+J (windows OS) or cmd+J (mac)

or you could simply right click your mouse and choose Join

you will see the both end point now joined automatically 

7. after the end points joined each other now you will have two new end points, you could continue joining other line with the new path Object

that's it... piece of cake huh? 

good luck, and have fun

Membuat ujung panah (Arrowhead) pada line di Adobe Illustrator cs5

Adobe Illustrator CS5 memang memudahkan sekaligus sedikit membingungkan bila belum terbiasa

pada AI versi sebelumnya membuat ujung panah (arrowhead) pada line sangat mudah melalui menu

effect > Stylize > add arrowhead

Fasilitas ini sudah dihilangkan, atau lebih tepatnya dipindahkan pada AI CS5

tentu saja anda bisa membuat ujung panah sendiri, tapi jika kita harus membuat rute perjalanan pada suatu peta misalnya yang memiliki banyak panah tentu akan lebih memudahkan menggunakan fasilitas tanda panah yang sudah disediakan bukan?

Note: sebelum saya menunjukan caranya, tampilan UI (user interface) pada working area saya mungkin akan berbeda dengan tampilan UI AI CS5 anda, jangan terlalu memusingkan hal tersebut karena beberapa toolbar akan sama disemua UI AI CS5

berikut langkah membuat ujung panah pada line/ garis:
1. buat garis/ line sesuai keinginan
2. Select line
3. klik icon pada toolbar Appearance kanan sbb

4. pada menu yang muncul klik pada kata "stroke"

5. akan muncul menu sbb

6. silakan pilih jenis arrowhead/ tanda panah yang anda suka

semoga bermanfaat

How to make your PSD file smaller..

yes working in PSD file is really takes lots of your HDD space... what would you do to save your HDD space? using zip? nah just forget about it

the best solution so far is by using this two simple steps:

1. i bet you already familiar with this way, just turn off/ closed all of your layers before you save your work

for example:
51.556Kb PSD file with 6 layer open could be reduced to 34.188Kb when you have all the layers closed ... nice huh?

2. dont stop there... after closing all the layers then save as *.TIFF format, yep TIFF rather than PSD! try it out. your file will now amazingly reduced from 34.188Kb to 17.004Kb

so total size reduced from 51.556Kb (original PSD file) to 17.004Kb (TIFF file) is about 67% !!... you have save more than half of the original size, and the best part is... you still can edit the file as if it still on PSD format (all the layers, filter etc is there)

but dont forget when you save your file as *.TIFF do as follow:


use the JPEG compression and dont hesitate to lower the quality value to 0 (zero) it wont effect the master design, it only effect the preview mode

that's it, a simple way to reduce your PSD file without using any software addon

have fun

How to Create Multiple PDF file with Photoshop CS2

out there you could find plenty of free PDF maker that you can use it as virtual printer and using PDF file format as the output.

the problem is when you're using the free stuff :

1. the option for the file like resolution even the compression is very limited (even when you do upgrade the software)

2. it has annoying ads displaying on your PDF pages... well its free so what do you expect?...

3. try to create more than 100 pages and you will find some free software going to crash or got hang

so what is the best option?

the truth is if you still looking for free software out there the answer is NONE... you couldn't do much with some free software.

so if you are a graphic designer and using Photoshop a lot, then you should consider to choose the best Photoshop series that meet your need.

just remember "the newest release is NOT always better than the previous version"

why? coz we're talking about advance design software like Photoshop, if you followed their changes from the early version up til now you'll noticed that each Photoshop version have their own unique style and feature, and the feature is just stay on that version and didnt go to the next version...

for example :
Photoshop 7 has feature to link the layer using just simple click, but in the next version to link the layer is not as simple as it was on 7... why? does it mean they failed to create the new version? LoL no not at all... when i'm saying about "how easy" to linked the layer on 7 its not always applied to other people... its just my personal opinion since i use this feature much for my design. so you really need to choose the best version for yourself.

including this PDF maker, you will noticed that Photoshop CS2 have the feature to create PDF presentation yes PDF PRESENTATION... it means you could create PDF file as many as you like with free and customized it as you please!

you dont have to install any add on or plugin to do so... to bad this feature is gone on the next CS series .....

ok so this is how it works. first you should save your PSD file into JPEG, why? of course you could create PDF without save your work into image format, but i bet you dont want to do that when you have more than 100 pages... the lack of CS2 is on its memory resource consumption, CS2 has the most memory consumption than the other CS series and the earlier series, so to keep your memory less use... save your work to JPEG/ JPG

set the JPEG/JPG quality as you desire, but remember we're talking about PDF file, unless you will use the PDF for HQ printing then set the quality option to medium instead, it will already meet your need for medium printing quality and web archiving but its your choice.

do as follow:



then new pop up windows will open as follow:



you could browse the file location or use the open file on your Work window, make sure the output option is set to multi-page document

after choosing your file then save, give your PDF file name then an option window will pop up as follow:



here you could choose the best setting for your PDF file (which you wont find in any other free PDF maker)

choose the quality and the purpose of your PDF, High Quality is for HQ printing etc, while smallest file would give you the compressed PDF without loosing the file sharpness too much



dont forget to set the compression option for your PDF



there you have it, its so simple and easy to create multiple PDF file with CS2, i personally recommend this Photoshop version as a MUST HAVE version for your Photoshop collection, i'm using both Photoshop CS4 and also CS2 as my secondary.

CS2 is an affordable version... and you also could find its keygen all over the internet XD

have fun.
