Product Questions

Q. Can I trademark the designs I create in Graphic Design Studio?

A. Yes, you can. Just keep in mind that it is up to you to make sure your design does not copy any other trademarked design (for example, drawing a graphic that looks like a well known cartoon figure and using it as your own would not be recommended).

A. After you choose a template from the Design Ideas browser, start by first clicking a graphic or shape to see the anchors appear around it. You can then click on a corner anchor and drag the anchor to resize the grpahic or shape (hold down the Shift button on the keyboard to keep the aspect ratio of the object as you resize it).

You can also add a filter to the selected graphic or shape by clicking the Effects icon in the Inspector toolbar. Click the Filters tab, check the "Apply All Filters" checkbox and then browse through the filters from the dropdown arrow. You can remove any filter at any time by simply unchecking the individual filter or the "Apply All Filters" checkbox.

Q. Why does Graphic Design Studio seem to freeze when I try and export a design that I used an artistic stroke in?

A. Depending on which stroke you selected and added to a shape, text or drawing, Graphic Design Studio may seem to freeze if you then try and export your logo in SVG format. Be patient and let the application finish the export. A few of the artistic strokes were created with such intricate detail that it takes a little extra time for the application to save and export the file so it can be edited later in Graphic Design Studio or any other vector editor.
