@bedfordplymouth I've actually purchased a creative fonts package with my last computer setup that came with about 100+ fonts, but a Google search of the font name would probably yield some promising results to getting a specific font. Thank you!

What exactly IS Adobe Illustrator? What's the difference from Illustrator to Photoshop? Yes, I KNOW what Photoshop is...

[shmoggo]

@mariosunshinefaan Adobe Illustrator is mostly a powerful tool for working in CMYK color mode which happens to make it one the most accurate and versatile programs for print design and proofing. Illustrator can do somewhat minimal photo processing as opposed to Photoshops intense options for photo manipulation and filtering.

TO be quite honest unsure what version (I have UK) I have gone over this for three hours and you cant do hardly anything he has done here? Certainly not that easy. Wasted lots of money on my business with this stuff, the idea is great but the reality is anything but? For instance, even choosing the rounded rectangle is not possible! Enjoy wasting your money!

@ForeverVersatile Not a problem, glad you enjoyed it.
