Web Design Tutorial - Converting JPG logo to Vector
In this week's web design video blog, Nick and James talk about changes in Directory Advertising and provide a tutorial for converting logos to vector shapes in ...
Hey i got a problem when i convert jpg colored logo to eps. The problem is
following, Logo contains 2 colors Black and Blue plus background which is
white, it contains 2 shapes and typography below. When i go path>trace
bitmap>color> scans- on 3>update i got like blue outline around my logo and
typography below it. The outline shouldn't appear since it dosen't exist.
I've tried converting it so many times and i can't get rid of it. Anyone
knows how to solve this problem ? PS i need reply realy fast. Thanks in
advance.
Bit harsh, thought they did a good job to be honest, think it's your
english that needs working on. We call it miles, kilometers is primarily
European, we don't bother with it. It's not incoherent there's just a lot
of information to present without over complicating the video into a
lecture. good work asserting your oh so not ego centrical approach with the
dropped in 'jelly tarts' line, but that is entirely naive to think we would
STUFF 3pm tea down ourselves. Sorry for having a culture fatty.
I stumbled upon this after I watched another video for the same problem. I
was about to 'subscribe', but gave up the idea after listening to you guys
for about a minute. The content was fine, but the speed was just killing.
End result: you just lost one potential and rather interested subscriber!
:( In your personal life you can speak however fast you want, and do so
normally, but when you make a video that's to be watched by millions, it
just HAS to be clear & with meaningful speed in oration.
Waauw this is brilliant, I didn't know you could do that! here I was always
tracing my logo's with the pen tool.. yes, I'm a real beginner. You got a
lot of comments on your speed of talking, I must say I really enjoy the
speed of this video, I couldn't quite follow the introduction, but the
speed at which the tutorial goes suits me very well... I hate watching
tutorials that go sooo slooow that you're sitting around waiting for the
next step for minutes THANKS! Will be back for more
I am so irritated with you two right now. I was trying to cut out a simple,
gothic styled "W" from my clients business card. I thought I found the best
video to do it, as the font he used was one from VistaPrint and you can't
just "find" their fonts that easily, so to save time, I decided to cut it
out. Everything in this video worked, EXCEPT: ****You did NOT explain to go
into tracing options and select "ignore white"**** I watched this video 5
or 6 times before getting fed up!
@crearegroup I also stumbled upon this while searching for converting
vector files I run an ecommerce website and found the info within the video
really useful. There's a lot you've packed into the video and although your
speaking quite quickly I still thought it was clear. I've subscribed as I
think the format that you are making your videos is great and it makes it
that little bit more interesting. Just a different view point for you. Keep
up the good work.
Ok, "Lads" in as much as I can appreciate the attempt to be informative,
you two need to clean up first. Secondly S L O W D O W N your damn (English
at 90mph or...as you call it, kilometers per hour) overly rushed incoherent
babble. Your audience can't get your over-inflated-ego approach if it
sounds like you two have a jelly tart with your 3:00 p.m. tea.stuffed in
your mouth In other words...STOP TALKING SO FAST.
@crearegroup Nice tutorial, One thing u did'nt mention, and that was the
shape of the logo after live trace. Like u saw in CocaCola logo. I know
that u know it too, but u did not explained, can u plz explain this. I
wanna fix my logo as quick as u talk ;). Actually i lost the font and my
computer, and now i only have a Jpeg file. But dont wanna do the Pen Job.
Can u guys help me? I will be very thank full to u.
Awesome! Do y'all have a video on dealing with text/font in a logo and how
to recreate as a vector? I know you did the Coke letters, but it seems it
works so easily because the letters are part of one whole. What if the
letters are separate and when you live trace into b/w, the letters/font
change altogether? Meaning, the font looks really bad and wrong and not
okay. Thanks! :)
Cant believe u guys! U turn a jpeg into a... crappy looking piece of
vector, which looks nothing like the original. Why do all the
one-button-wizards feel the need to share their wisdom with the world. I´m
dying to see ur next vid, maybe youll share the secret illustrator
technique of typing the letter "c" with pointed index finger. Useless...
@dubiousfella Hey, thank you for taking the time to provide us with your
feedback. Apologies that you were unable to clearly hear our narration in
the video, we are aware that in some of our earlier videos, we speak far
too quickly. This is something we've been working on - to slow down how
quickly we talk in the videos. James.
Hi guys, Thank you very much for taking the effort to make this tutorial.
But for one or another reason I cannot get it done. I click on the JPG
image and then live trace, but then the image 'disappears' and I see only
the edge. Do you know what I might have done wrong/forgot? I have Adobe
Illustrator CS5. Kind regards!
To avoid all the ungrouping you did to seperate your black from white, you
can simply go into the Live Trace options and choose "Ignore White." Also,
you can choose to use colour as well so for your Coca-Cola logo you could
have selected "Use Colours" and "Ignore White" to create a vector outline
of just the red logo.
Live Trace isn't always the best way to "vectorize" your logo. As you can
see from the Coca-Cola logo vectoraization, curves can become jagged and
the logo will look... well, a bit cheapened and trashy. Sometimes the best
way to get a super high quality vector version of your logo is with the
good 'ol pen tool.
Thank you very much, you saved me hours of work. I had created a logo in
Photoshop and then found out I could not re-size it without losing quality.
A designer friend told me the logo needed to be in vector format. I did not
want to restart the whole project. Thank you for introducing me to live
trace.
Greetings from Oaxaca, MX. I speak English as a second language and I have
no problem understanding you. So these people either have an intellectual
problem or they hate your guts to give such comments about you. First of
all, you are just trying to help----therefore they should at least be
thankful.
I think Curtis Jackson Says it best .... And I quote : " Yeah, in
Hollywoood they say there's no b'ness like show b'ness In the hood they
say, there's no b'ness like hoe b'ness ya know They say I talk a lil fast,
but if you listen a lil faster I ain't got to slow down for you to catch
up, BIT.. "
Good start, but I'm stuck at the point where you have to ungroup. I had
imported my jpeg into illustrator. What happens if my jpeg file has a
stroke? I wasn't able to extract it completely by ungrouping it. It made
the text look funny because of the stroke. Can you guys help? Thanks.
Cheers! fantastic vids you lot make, made something that could have been
complicated into something incredibly easy to understand. As for the speed
and accents I am seeing complaints on I have none, altho I lived in the UK
for several yeas..so I suppose i'm not one to talk eh? lol
There are a great number of us that appreciate you guys sharing your
knowledge. Some of these ppl are such babies. "Please give me a video that
will solve all of my personal project needs??" Geez. Anyway, thanks guys.
Your video got me started and your English is just fine.
I talk too fast and sound like i have a load of shite in my mouth? what..
via text?! They're just trying to be helpful, chill the fuck out. And it's
not a petty attempt, rather stating it how it is, a '3pm tea' stab to me
sounds like an attack on our culture yes.

Por que tiene que ser los Gringos tontos nunca entienden nada ( sera por
que solo puden hablar un lengua....) Mi Igles es Malo , pero yo si les
entiendo, Y ellos Hablan Ingles de Inglaterra ..... pal que no sabe >>>.
Cool me sivio muno el Tutorial 10 +
this is very long for doing it guys. you can just click on the " ignore
white " option instead of ungrouping the paths 3 or 4 times. if you go on
the outline view im pretty sure u had some more unwanted paths with your
logo. :) cheers
@crearegroup I also think this video is at perfect speed for the level of
content. A beginner would usually have no reason to create a vector
illustration, so I don't really see what this "speed talk" is about :/
Great tut
Hmm...I've seen and tried a few videos now and none of them work. I'm using
a colour logo with both text and an image. Only 2 colours are in the image
but the quality when I live trace is terrible - worse than the original!
this helps but I'm trying to convert a logo with multiple colours, it's not
as simple as filling the logo with red like they did here...it doesn't
really help me...I'm stuck with a black logo and no way to recolour it.
Guys, you are a god sent ! Easily explained, will try it out as soon as
possible. Explained calmly and understandable for the common idiot that
decides to fool around with Photoshop and Illustrator. Thanks guys!
@crearegroup I disagree, I hate it when people take forever to talk through
simple things. I thought the pace of this tutorial was just right for the
level of the content.
