InDesign Eyedropper Tool Tips

Sometimes it’s the little tools that we overlook when working in a particular software all day, every day. For me, I find I often forget about the Eyedropper tool in InDesign. I’d like to blame it on the fact it was buried beneath the Color Theme tool in a recent update, but I was neglecting it long before that. It makes easy work of the task of picking up attributes from one item and applying it to another. In a majority of situations, I recommend using text and object styles for consistency, but sometimes the immediacy and speed of the Eyedropper tool is just what your workflow requires. First off, set the Eyedropper tool’s options by double-clicking it in the Tools panel.

First Look At The Set Of THOR: RAGNAROK Seemingly Takes Us Back To Asgard; Thor: Ragnarok begins shooting on Australia's Gold Coast on July 4th, and the Gold Coast Bulletin has a piece up looking at what exactly the Marvel Studios production is getting up to in the area. As you can see below, a number of large sets are being constructed at Village Roadshow Studios, and they appear to be parts of Asgard (a sign perhaps that this movie will create that realm with less CGI)…

[Web Design] Welcome to The Digital Art Studio

From Graphics – CreativePro.comWelcome to The Digital Art Studio:


Welcome to The Digital Art Studio
Digital Art Studio 1: Customizing Photoshop shortcuts This is the first post in a new series we’re calling The Digital Art Studio. Here I’ll share with you some of the ways I integrate digital tools into my creative workflow. These posts will generally be fairly short and will mainly focus on the digital aspect to how I create artwork. Projects will alternate between each of the different apps (mostly Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator), some will move between apps, and others will touch on how I integrate traditional and digital tools together. I intended this first post to be a dive into a cool project, but realized that before I get down to work in my digital studio, I always make sure that it?s set up so I?m able to move quickly, intuitively, and smoothly. It’s the digital equivalent of scraping down my palette and squeezing out new paint. Things must be set up properly if you?re going to work smoothly. So if I’m sitting down at a new machine, or I’ve recently reinstalled Photoshop or trashed preferences, my checklist means modifying a few preferences (such as turning off some of the Zoom settings and choosing the lightest User Interface)…
