Genius genius genius, thank you so much! Saved to PDF with no problems :) That's saved my bacon, cheers

oh and it still didn't Save as PDF (same freezing problem). I don't have anything - toolbars of any kind, etc...

Oh my goodness Squiddy - I've done that and there's nothing now when I open Illustrator. I am being told there are no export filters and it said I'd lost a lot of functions. Any way I can revert to what I had after hitting Alt + Ctrl + Shift??

Thanks Scotty. Where would I find my prefs folder? See what I mean about not being so tech-literate...?

That'd be great Tony, thanks! I actually haven't changed much since factory settings so I don't mind that at all :)

Hi guys. I'm wondering if anyone can help. My Illustrator has suddenly done a wobbly on me and suddenly freezes up when I try to save an .ai file to PDF. This never happened before now suddenly non-stop for days. Any ideas? I'm not very tech-literate so if someone could be kind enough to write...

Ah, working now. I actually didn't read it before redesigning mine (ie the bit about not being able to say 'like the page') so I might have to change mine but here's what I came up with - what do you guys think? Doric Design's Facebook page

Your link isn't working? On this topic though, I think everyone needs a cover image just because we're so used to seeing them now, if a page doesn't have one, it looks incomplete. So far I've just used one of the background images from my site as the cover image to maintain branding but I have...

Yeah I wasn't at all sure about it when it first appeared but actually it's not too bad. The typeface is actually really nice but the logo really makes you think of shows like TOWIE and all their 'brain fluff' shows and I think that logo will struggle to represent anything gritty, political or...

I'd have to agree with @inspiringprint - I have had the best experience with Solopress. Their customer service is great (I'm on great terms with my account manager) and the service is speedy, reliable, good quality and most importantly v cheap. I got my own cards printed from them and I wouldn't...

Must completely agree with Squiddy and Alex. It's just at a very early stage (obviously we're not going to spend a lot of time looking into/starting to plan something that might not be wanted/possible to do). At the moment, there seems to be a fair level of interest. Having just finished event...

Hi Chris. You say there are plenty of events around. Can you give us some examples? We won't organise one if they already exist. I was really struggling to find any UK ones that didn't involve a lot of web design. Thanks, Jen

Your Google searching kind of says it all really, doesn't it?! I'll get in touch with Greg and see what he thinks (or if he has any inside knowledge as to why this doesn't already exist). I'll try to get the word out about the thread you've created.

Thanks for that link Paul! Yes we'd need engagement from communities or even professional bodies - these people tend to have the 'oomf' behind them to make these things go with a bang rather than just have 10 very enthusiastic people in a huge room! I think that we should be doing this...

Hey guys. So I mentioned this to Alex on my blog (Doric Design) earlier but in my last role, the majority of my work was in event management. I'd be very keen to see if setting up a UK based graphic design for print conference would be of interest to people. There's a BIG gap in the market here...
