Need Drawing Help

atkin68 · Post by **atkin68** » April 16th, 2021, 1:01 pm

I've got a problem. I have a dial design I'd like to hand off to Dimitry, but he needs a high res or vector file to work with. I created my design just in Microsoft Powerpoint, using Wordart - and when I save as an image, the resolution is too low. I have tried finding a drawing app of some kind, but none of them produce the effect I want which Wordart produces, and I also don't have the skills to create that effect myself with the software I have tried. I don't know if there's an inexpensive software package that I could buy and learn to use to do it, but what I'd really like to do is hand off my low res design to someone who has the tools and skills to reproduce it as a high res/vector file and then use that to send to Belkin.

Is there anyone who has suggestions on how I could do this myself, an app I haven't found, etc.? Or...

Is there anyone who would take on the task of creating my design for me from a low res image, supplying a high res/vector file - for a fee?

Thanks!
Dave

If you print the ppt file into PDF, it should keep the vector information intact. And it's still editable in Illustrator.

I tried saving the pic as pdf and sending it to Dimitry, but it didn't work.

not the pic, the ppt file where you create the wordart.

Oh, Ok. I right click the image, save as picture...but pdf is not an option for file format. Maybe it is just a matter of the version/license of PowerPoint that I have.
