tooler82 182 Posted October 6, 2014 It needs node editting. I'm not good at it, but figured it would be good practice. Hope it helps you. Eureka Red Devil.eps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moody Blue 505 Posted October 6, 2014 Did a quick google search and found this. Pulled into Illustrator and looks like the shapes will need lots of welding and compound paths to be released but its a good start anyways. http://eurekareddevils.com/documents/2014/9/11//2014FBMediaGuide1.pdf?id=403 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DNA_Vinyl 262 Posted October 6, 2014 you guys rock beyound. I need some tips on how to do that so good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darcshadow 1,626 Posted October 7, 2014 Since a vector file was found, that one was just a matter of removing and welding everything to get to a nice cut able file. Side note, anyone have any idea why there were so many shapes behind other shapes that you couldn't even see in the first place? Seems like an overly complex file for no real reason.

Moody Blue 505 Posted October 9, 2014 darcshadow some graphic designers use clipping masks and multiple layers to keep people like us from being able to use them without permission if they dont know how to break the artwork down. I found an easy way around that too by placing medium to low quality .png/.jpeg files into my work so even when opened in a vector program all they can do is trace the bitmap. I agree this image is far too simple for all that BS though. DNA its not hard to clean up an image like this just takes time. It helps to make several copies of the one main image and break into the (in this case 3) individual colors. This one was a black background with yellow, red, more black and then white with black which I would cut the facial feature through the white to show from the previous black layer. Each color was so "fudged" up it involved releasing multiple clipping layers and then welding all those together to make a solid shape. Being that there is no gradient colors not sure why the designer did it this way but whatever not my artwork. When working with images this bad I prefer (once the colors are separated) to work in outline mode so I can see for sure that I clear all the intersecting lines.

DNA_Vinyl 262 Posted October 9, 2014 Oh ya I was in outline mode the whole time. It was pretty crazy but it just took patients. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
