Orgcharts, Business Layouts, Scrapbook Family Trees and Process Flow for Illustrator

I’m so excited to announce that Adobe recently posted an article about the work I did for Illustrator CS4. Check it out. There’s free orgcharts, symbols and brush sets now available that will blow your mind.

The Joy of Charting

Contributed by Brenda Sutherland, Illustrator Team Rowing Captain

Last Friday Terry talked about some of the exciting new libraries and How To’s that we shipped with Illustrator CS4. I wanted to take time today to focus on some additional new CS4 Sample Art Files that show how Illustrator can be used to create visually intriguing, creative flow charts. Yes, you heard me right, I did say “Visually Intriguing” and “Flow Charts” in the same sentence!

Jennifer Willis
is one of those rare designers who doesn’t cringe when taking on information graphics. Instead she has found a way of infusing her creative style into flow charts, while obviously having a great time doing it. Jennifer uses a variety of symbols and arrowheads that she creates. This adds a personal touch that reflects not only the designer but the client as well.

Flickr Color Analysis for Illustrator CS3
Free Illustrator Upgrade

A graphic Designers dream come true.
This is an amazing and free upgrade for Illustrator CS3! It is so easy.

Free Illustrator Script

Free Illustrator Upgrade

Free Illustrator Upgrade

AI CS3 + Flickr = In the Mod Mashup
1. From your Illustrator, Search Flickr
2. Find a picture with awesome colors
3. Extract colors to swatch palette

A free panel for Adobe Illustrator CS3 that searches Flickr for photos, In The Mod for (in)famous paintings, and then analyzes and visualizes the colors of the photos and paintings. Once a beautiful palette is found, you can save them directly to Illustrator’s Swatch Panel.

Drwoohoo = Genius

More about this Free Script:

Flickr
This will launch a popup panel and loads the swf file. Thanks to Kelvin Luck’s Flashr, an AS wrapper for the Flickr API, just enter a tag to search and retrieve images from Flickr. Select the thumbnail image you would view the color palettes for by clicking on the thumbnail icon. The scroll pane will slide over to make room for the visualization view. If you like the colors and want to add them to your AI Swatches Panel, click on the AI icon in the lower right corner. That’s it!

In The Mod
To access to all of the (in)famous paintings and color palettes on In The Mod, click on the ITM button on the main screen (that has scrollable thumbnails). The process of seeing the color visualization and saving the palettes is the same as above.

Sorting by Hue, Saturation or Brightness
After saving the colors to your Swatches panel, you can also sort them by Hue, Saturation or Brightness. To do so, there’s a trick: click on the open document window (so the focus is pulled off of the swf Panel) and then select from the menu File: Scripts: SortByHue-Sat-Bri. I prefer sorting by Brightness, so I typically enter ‘B’ in the popup prompt. The rest is magic.

Is it perfect? No, far from it, but it is functional and it is extremely fun to use and something worthy of sharing.
