For the first hack, you can actually input simple equations in the number bar instead of having to open up the calculator app and computing the result. e.g. adding "+180" to 76 and pressing enter will show the sum of the two.

You can actually do all kinds of calculations. plus (+10), minus (-10), divide (/10), multiply (*10).

0:55 But doesn't that give us a rectangle in a ratio of exactly 2:3? The Golden Ratio is roughly 1:1.6, or 2:3.2, so the rectangle should be a little "longer". Right?

Perfect! Thank you

THAT FIRST TIP IS THE SINGLE MOST HELPFUL TIP IVE EVER HEARD

Nice tips

On tip #3: The kerning of a professional typeface is set by the designer and these settings will apply when you choose "Metrics". Using "Optical", the kerning will be automatically adjusted by Adobe, wich isn't always better. So I would recommend: For professional fonts, make the font designers happy and choose "Metrics" as they intended. Any other free or badly kerned font, you may be better off using "Optical". Some manual kerning might be needed either way.

@proy14

Жыл бұрын

Yes. Plus optical kerning take more machine ressources. In Photoshop, that's so so, but with longer texts in InDesign, it shows quickly.

Great video- I didn’t know about the export package what a neat thing- i hope its not expensive. Our money os so weak against the dollar. Its almost 20 times as weak

0:41 doesn't give you a golden rectangle. It gives you a Fibonacci rectangle. Fibonacci's ratio ever so slightly approaches the golden ratio at some points, but never exactly matches it. For a golden rectangle I just do one side of the square times 1.61804 and it's pretty good for very precise software oriented golden ratio. The more decimals the better tho.

Hello. I saw your grids. Is there a way to explain how they line up. I want to learn ways to use a grid. Visually I couldn’t tell where u lined up the text to the grid. I even did a screen shot. Thanks

To be fair, i'm trying the complementary color thing by changing the H section and it worked three times and the fourth was really odd

The golden rectangle you draw is not exactly "golden" is a 3x2 rectangle, it is near Golden, but to make one like the one you did, just entrer those proportions and you are done.
