What is a good graphic design software to use to design logos and other artwork?

Q. What is a good graphic design software to use to design logos and other artwork?

What is the skill level needed to use it? Ease of use?

Windows or Mac?

Where can I get it at? How much? Student rates?

A. http://store1.adobe.com/


If you are really wanting something that is creative and unique you will need professional design software. Ease of use depends upon your other software knowledge. The more programs you know the easier it is to learn new ones.

Adobe Illustrator is the best with some time learning the tools.
But check out all of the Adobe design software and see what seems to click for you. Check out EBay prices and yes, they give student and teacher discounts at most stores that sell software. Best Buy etc.

You can buy it in Wind. or Mac.

Best of luck

False advertisements from streaming video company?

Q. Hello,

We started a small entertainment website which contains non-copyrighted movies and TV Shows. Since we had a really big archive we decided to go with one of the video streaming companies which encodes the video and manages the file and gives us bandwidth. Before signing the contract they gave us many promises and false advertising, such as video advertising for our medias, great security so no one could download the videos and so on. another offer they gave us was 6 month of free service and then 2 years contract after that. After signing the papers and start working with them, our account manager was always late with answering our questions and none of promises was delivered to us. Not only we were losing money but our videos were getting downloaded very easily and yet we were getting answer from our account manager and their support about once a week. It was continued so we had to pay everything out of our pocket and we were almost bankrupted. Right now we completely changed our direction and we don't work the same way or in fact we don't work with any streaming companies because we don't have the money after all the money we lost. After these 6 month they told us that they can't do anything about the security of our movies and they gave an options which was very expensive for us by that time, and they say they don't work with the advertising company they promised us anymore. They were other false promises as well but these two were the ones did hit us the most. So we told them give us a time to move our files from their servers because we can't do this anymore and they told us they understand and they support us. Now after like 6 month they sent us a a bill of $60,000 out of no where and their lawyer (I think its a collection agency) keeps calling us. My question is what are my options. The thing is they don't have my SS# or my CC#. All they have is my signature on a contract. Do I have to take this $60,000 bill seriously? or should I fight back? The problem is honestly we don't have anymore money to hire a lawyer and fight back.

The only problem is their promises were verbal and this whole contract was based on trust.

I would appreciate if anyone could help.

A. Yikes, the solution will sting. You'll just have to jump ship and know better than to enter shady agreements the next time you initiate a campaign. Some publishing options, like TrueView video ads, are legit, especially if you hire a company which lays out the terms of service in black and white. There are plenty of online companies out there transparent enough to provide efficient service, such as audiencetv.net. Be more prudent next time and do your legwork before you invest money in an agreement.

How to find angles in a right triangle?

Q. I need help finding the two acute angles of a right triangle. Well actually i need the formula. I'm having trouble tracking it down on the webz. I know the length of the 3 sides and just need to find the angles. It has something to do with arctangent i think. I'm bad at math. Anyway any help would be awesome.

A. SOHCAHTOA

Sin = Opposite / Hypotoneuse
Cosine = Adjacent / Hypotoneuse
Tangent = Opposite / Adjacent

So if you pick the angle you want, take the length OPPOSITE the angle and the length ADJACENT to the angle, divide the opposite by the adjacent that gives you the ratio. Then take the ark tan of that ratio that will give you the angle.

Since it's a right angled triangle one of the other angles must be 90 degrees.

The remaining angle will be 90 degrees - the angle you calculated.

If you only had two sides and not the third you could use the arc sin or arc cos or arc tan depending on which two lengths you knew and which angle you wanted to find.

Original Question

What are tips for solving angles in circles that are inscribed or central angles?

Q. Basically, I just need tips for solving angles in circles that are inscribed or central angles (yes, bad wording.) I just kinda miss the "big" picture sometimes. I get the concepts of the theorems, but actually finding the angles is a pretty big challenge for me sometimes.

A. You can go on:
http://www.mathwarehouse.com/geometry/circle/inscribed-angle.html
Here are my tips that I use:
Formula for inscribed angle
If you know the length of the minor arc and radius, the inscribed angle is:

where:
L is the length of the minor (shortest) arc AB
R is the radius of the circle
Ï is Pi, approximately 3.142

Arcs and Chords
The two points A and B can be isolated points, or they could be the end points of an arc or chord. When they are the end points of an arc, the angle is sometimes called the peripheral angle of the arc.
Central Angle
A similar concept is the central angle. This is the angle subtended at the center of the circle by the two given points.

The central angle is always twice the inscribed angle. Relationship to Thales' Theorem
Refer to the above figure. If the two points A,B form a diameter of the circle, the inscribed angle will be 90°, which is Thales' Theorem. You can verify this yourself by solving the formula above using an arc length of half the circumference of the circle.
You can also move the points A or B above until the inscribed angle is exactly 90°. You will see that the points A and B are then diametrically opposite each other.

Hope I helped!

Geometry - How to find an interior angle in a circle?

Q. On my homework there is a diagram of a circle with and angle inside coming off the center of the circle. The arc of that angle is 96 degrees. How would I find the angle measurement?

A. if the angle is in radians, and the radius is 1 unit then the subtended arc IS the same as the central angle (in radians )
.......96° is an unusual way to measure an arc length..its usually a length, like 3.4 units..... but that means the central angle is also 96°

Any ideas for a creative presentation for a school project?

Q. I need to design a pillar for a Roman emperor in Western Civ. I can use absolutely anything to do this, like online design software, or an actual, physical structure. I'd love some ideas on how I can creatively present this pillar to the class. I was trying to find some 3D design software to use, but I haven't found any free ones yet. So any ideas are appreciated!

A. I think PowerPoint is the best way to communicate this but what may be unique is to include music from each of your time periods you're going to discuss (for example, the number one song when you were born, then music you listened to as a child, then maybe music during your pre-teen years, your high school years and finally what you like now. You could also include photos of yourself from each of these periods if you have them or at least photos of other things from each period like magazine covers, or cars, fashions, tv shows or movies that were popular, etc)

I am located in Orlando Florida. Will like salepeople all over the USA under districts

A. Try posting your ad on CraigsList - http://www.craigslist.org/ you may find some folks willing to work on commission-only basis. I should warn you, however, that you will probably not find "expert" salespeople willing to work that way... especially for a start-up.

Your other option is to hire college kids looking to earn some cash in their free time. They may be less dependent on a steady income stream and be therefore more willing to work for commissions.

Hope this helps!

How much funds do i have to show for canadian study permit?

Q. Under the requirement where is says I need to show proof of funds, exactly how much do i have to show? For one year of tuition and expenses or all 3 years? And does this all have to be in cash? Can I show one year's worth of cash and a supporting steady income? And can the funds be shown in my aunt's account with documentation with her intent to support me financially?

A. it depend on your course as ...i came to canada on student visa it was a 3 yr diploma i showed $100,000 CAD......but make sure cuz u'll be on student visa so your fee would be 11000$-12000$ a year(in 3 yr diploma)..ie 33-36000$..plus your living expenses like 400-500 rent..50-70$ cell phone bill/month.....food......as you won't have a driving lic so a monthly bus pass 50-60$ approx....it means your monthly expense including everything would be around 650-700$ ie say 700$/month=700*12=8400$/year....total
tuition fee 11000-12000$/year
living expense 8400$/year
so u need to show your annual income in your home country including your expenses in canada....because if u show less annual income..and your canadian expenses are more than they gonna say if your expense in canada are more how will your family support themselves backhome....and ya you can show your aunt's money, she just need to sign a affidavit that she is sponsoring your expenses..or you can get a study loan....but if your course is 1 or 2 yrs then you can show less .....and canadian embassy they don't consider property or gold ....cuz some people show property/land or gold...but its not considered good...only good things is show liquid money..ie bank deposit.....some kind of investment in banks...no shares(stock market)..good luck

Is there a less expensive brush as good as the Furminator?

Q. I LOVE the Furminator! Unfortunately I keep borrowing my friends, because I have a hard time spending $60 for a cat brush. Are there any generic brands that have the same incredible results? Or to I need to fork over the cash?

And people, if you are going to give me a hard time and are going to be rude. Don't bother answering.
I live in Canada. I'd buy it from the US, but after I add duty and shipping, it's not worth it.

A. Hi!
I am also Canadian (from Quebec) and got the real FURminator (medium size) from Ebay.ca for $23.00 CAD including shipping - and from a Canadian seller to boot ! Check it out, it's worth a look!
BTW I use mine for my bluepoint ragdoll cat - he's such a beautiful cat but a also a horrible shedder - the FURminator helps a lot, I'm glad I bought it. Good luck!

Original Question

I need to find a CAD Application?

Q. I need a free CAD application that is not a trial, I am okay with it if is very cheap. I need it to use Orthographic Projection. I run VMware Fusion 2, so the application can be Windows XP or Mac OS X Leopard, Thanks!

A. progeCAD is probably the best value for any real 2D CAD design, works a lot like AutoCAD (edit DWG, AutoCAD commands, AutoLISP, rendering) but only costs few hundred dollars:
http://www.caddit.net/auto-cad/AutoCAD.php

If you are looking at a stronger 3D CAD I would easily suggest Alibre - especially when they are running a price promo which they often do:
http://www.caddit.net/cad-cam-software/alibre.php

Since CAD is a more technical software I would strongly suggest support be a considering factor in the entire picture.

Original Question

Does anyone know where I can get some AutoCad Release 14 or higher software CHEAP?

Q.

A. Nope.

Autodesk don't sell Autocad cheap. And they make sure no one else does. Do you need flow blown Autocad?

If you aren't going to be working in 3D then Autocad LT does everything in 2D that Autocad can.
You can also use LT to view 3D models just not create them.

It's also significantly cheaper.

Another option is upgrade offers.

Autodesk and it's resellers offer upgrade discounts to encourage users to move to the newest version. This is only an option if you already have an old version. And they aren't always available. Best getting on the phone to a local reseller to see.

Finally do you really need Autocad?

There are DWG compatible CAD programs available that work in an Autocad like fashion and cost little.

I use Autocad and Inventor professionally so can't speak to the quality of these alternative programs.

Saying that it's got to be worth a trial download.

What softwares apart from Games need a good graphic card like nvidia?

Q. Do 3D design softwares leverage the existence of a graphic processor? or is it majorly for the games?

A. They do in some cases. Memory is usually a bigger deal with things like that though; the GPU is mostly used for rendering. I mean technically everything uses it to some extent, but the biggest thing is rendering. Unless you get into programming things very very heavy in mathematics (... like rendering I guess), then you might use it for efficiency because your GPU likely has hundreds of cores to run the processes across.

What business card software or website saves your design individually?

Q. I would like to create and save my business card design as an individual jpg or pdf file, so that I can upload it onto vista print. I am having difficulty doing this because every software and site seems to save the card as duplicates on a sheet of paper (for in-home printing). Any recommendations would be very helpful.

A. As per my recommendation http://www.Bizcardsoftware.com would be great for you for easy printing options in different formats. However for better guidance you should contact their Support at helpdesk@bizcardsoftware.com or at +1-800-405-7125 (Toll Free) 1-585-672-5458 (Outside of the US or Canada, please dial 001-585-672-5458)
