US: Yunique Solutions adds new PLM tools
source: just-style.com
"Yunique_Solutions Inc, the developer of product_lifecycle_management solutions for the fashion industry, has added new image management capabilities to its flagship PLMOn solution.
The tools include an advanced digital storyboard, image sharing, and Adobe integration, and are aimed at addressing the needs of fashion designers, merchandisers, and product developers.
The image cataloging tools enable users to place materials, trims, sketches, technical drawings and pictures into a digital storyboard for use in line planning, line selection, and visual collaboration with suppliers and customers.
Once design and merchandising concepts are added, the digital storyboard serves as a natural starting point for product developers to launch new raw materials and product/style development from this visual workspace.
The browser-based software is said to be fully compatible with both PC and Mac operating systems and allows users to work directly with popular design file formats, including industry-specific CAD systems.
Yunique has also developed Adobe Illustrator tool boxes that provide fashion-specific brushes, symbols and other design tools for PLMOn users.
Product information can be shared and modified by in-house teams, across the supply chain or with customers."

Vector National Flags Collection
In February I posted a detailed scalable political vector map with most countries, well today I found another large vector flag collection for Adobe Illustrator. The pack contains 274 national flags, all vector, THANKS to raknoob. The archive file is a self extraction application (.exe file) download it from here. I'm not sure that you can run an exe file on a macintosh, so for all mac users I made a zip archive available for download here. Enjoy !Wednesday, March 26, 2008

Pathfinders and Shape Modes in Adobe Illustrator
Pathfinders and shape modes in Adobe Illustrator are an important feature. If once you start to feel comfortable with them you’ll find them pretty handy for drawing all kinds of complex objects. Before you start drawing the shape of your object you should first analyze it. Look for geometric shapes within the object’s shape. Which shapes can be used to create your final object? Look for pkaces where you can use the ellipse or the rectangle tool. Most pathfinders delete objects, so have in mind to make additional duplicates. I found a great link (click here) with video explanation of the different pathfinders.I'll post more stuff about pathfinders and shapes pretty soon.
