Question
I have a image that was created with color pencils, I want to print a poster, is there any way to make it come out like it was created in illustrator? can it be convert to good illustrator image.
Hi Michael,
If you have CS2 or CS3, I think you could be very happy with the Live Trace tool, which can turn images like your colored pencil drawings into really cool vector images (that's what you mean by "created in Illustrator," I think).
Would you like to see a video tutorial on that tool? Visit this link at Adobe.com - it's perfect for beginners: http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/video_workshop/index.html?id=vid0043
Good luck!

Expertise
I can help troubleshoot your Illustrator 9 through CS3 (and most CS4) problems and suggest the best way to get the results you need. Although I can help with some installation issues, my forte is prepress and how to use the tools and functions in the application itself.
Experience
I've been a graphic artist for over 20 years. Oh my God, 20 years.
