 |
|
hey guys need a hand...
im trying to enlarge the shape of this logo without pixellating. i tried selecting it and then transforming it larger, but when i colour it it gets really jagged. is there a way to select the individual shapes and then resize them keeping intact the shape? i have photshop and illustrator, im sure there is a way between the two to accomplish this.
basically i need the outline of the logo to be resized a3 or a4 size at least, then colour it and chuck a drop shadow underneath without losing quality of the lines.
thanks

You can cut a path of it and upsize as much as you want. Once it's to size, apply the shadow.
Or you can place it in Illustrator (to use as a template) and cut a path there.
Either way, as long as it's vector instead of raster, you can go as large as you want.

By using the pen tool.
Here's a great video tutorial explaining how to use the pen tool to select objects.

Hope this helps!

I'm not sure I can tell you how to use the pen tool if you don't know how.

Hi James,
You may also want to try Live Trace in Illustrator to vectorize the image. Seeing as the image generally have a simple contour, it should be reasonably easy.
