Hello all. Been a while since I posted anything on Kirupa.
I'm having a bit of a problem. The issue seems to be I'm about as useful with Illustrator CS4 as an [insert topical analogy here]...
I'm currently attempting to design a kind of retro wedding invite (for myself and my partner) and have an idea of some hand drawn kind of motif. I was thinking I might then just take some quick photos of this and somehow, magically, paths would appear in illustrator from which I could basically cut and shut something that didn't look like I was a complete tool...
I appear to have failed.
Could anyone offer me some quick, easy steps that any drunken oaf might be able to follow in order for me to achieve anything like what I just described...
I have access to:-
A large sketchpad
12 papermate Flairs (http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=papermate+flair&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=shop&cid=12270043699280239738&sa=X&ei=MbIQT7DDCcqv8APg_53IAw&ved=0CGMQ8gIwAw)...
A computer
Photoshop CS4
Illy CS4
An Android phone with an ok camera
A fairly substantial quantity of german (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erdinger) and more german (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weihenstephan_Abbey) lager...
About 14 Marlboro lights...
A small (20cm) remote controlled helicopter that is currently fully charged...
If anyone knows of a search term I can put into google to make this magically happen then please, feel absolutely free to LMGTFY me... I would be happy to click said link.
Over and out...!
