• Made a High Quality Vector Icon version of the Logo, it's got little inconsistencies that bother me

  You can try a conversion site like PNG to SVG, I'll be using it alot with my cricut, but still need to clean up the image some. Source: about 1 year ago

• What SVG editor do you recommend for iPad?

  Are you looking to convert like pngs to svgs? Or actually edit the svgs? I think adobe illustrator can handle editing them and for converting, I use http://pngtosvg.com, but there are tons of other sites that will do the same thing for you ... Source: over 1 year ago

• brand new know nothing help!

  You can use PNG's.. I use pngtosvg.com to convert them to SVG's. You don't have to use that particular site.. there are tons of sites like it out there, but that one is pretty good and it's free. Just make sure that your images only use a few colors. Remember that each color will require a different cut. So you don't want to have a ton of different colors. Source: over 1 year ago

• How do I make this recipe card not look so janky on DS? Trying to make towels for family members with the recipes on them-they're handwritten by my great-grandmother, so it's important that it's "her" writing.

  So tried this for you and it worked for me. Upload this image in pngtosvg.com and it'll create an SVG for you to upload in DS :) Hopefully it works for you and your project! Source: over 1 year ago

• How can I take a 2D image of text and simple shapes and create a 3D model, basically extruding the non-transparent parts to a set depth?

  I took a stab at doing it this way but ultimately it was going to take forever! I did stumble across a PNG to SVG convertor website (pngtosvg.com) that took the png and made objects out of the letters and shapes. They were really messy, lots of bad vertices and wavy lines that should have been straight or a smooth curve, but it didn't take too long to get them smoothed out. Then I fixed the faces and extruded it... Source: over 1 year ago

Balsamiq Mockups mentions (8)

• Rough.js: Create graphics with a hand-drawn, sketchy, appearance

  Me of https://balsamiq.com/wireframes/ - guy used to do a lot of startup blogs about it. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Best package for doing UI/UX

  If you want to lay it out, use something like Balsamiq first. Just wireframe it. You’ll be surprised how much better your last version is than your first version. Once you’re done, you can try to make a nice version in Figma. And then do the hard part and do the actual programming. Source: about 1 year ago

• Show HN: TinyUX – Grid based low-fi wireframing on your mobile phone

  > I still don't get this. Isn't it just using a different style of outline around buttons? What is lo-fi about it? Wouldn't lo-fi be something that was much lower memory and much faster to draw, like solid color boxes? Low-fidelity is jargon. It's a word used in the UX Design community for high level, low detail design artifacts. Perhaps you are thinking of low-fi audio and try to match that to wire-frames.... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Ask HN: Is there an “uncanny valley” effect with startup MVPs

  ...to the point that (great) UX and wireframing tools like Balsamiq look crappy _on purpose_: https://balsamiq.com/wireframes/ Which all kinda makes sense, with the intuitive reasoning being: If you had time and money to sink into a pixel-perfect design, you're already one step beyond product-market fit, so creating a too good impression might not work in your favor. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Best way to make mock ups for beginners

  Sounds like Photoshop is the wrong tool. For the wireframe stage, I'd go for something simple like Balsamiq. Otherwise, Adobe offers AdobeXD specifically for such mockups. I have quite a few friends who specialize in UX, and almost all of them live by Figma. Good luck! Source: almost 2 years ago
