Hello

[graphics28]

What's up everyone? I'm a farely new designer from PA, and just wanted to say hello. I'm glad there is a forum for design, I work by my self and have a lot of questions on certain things. Are the people in here pretty cool about helping each other out?

Welcome! and ask away that is what we are here for.

Welcome and it seems both me and you came in here for the same reason.

thank you, well I normally work in photoshop cs, but recently I've been using illustrator cs.
and I can't figure out how to 'cut' objects. can you? and also can you make a double stroke around text? any help will be appreciated.

[graphics28]

do you work by yourself too? it's cool, but it's nice to have someone else to help out, ya know.

Yea I know but this place is better. Oh in Illustrator you select a stroke width from the stroke dialog box. Stroke is the technical name for an outline.

But can you make say a white stroke, and then put a red stroke on top of the white one??

[Mickey]

Just make a copy of the part you want then make the stroke thicker and red and send it to the back, that will give you the 'double' stroke effect.
