Graphic Design Discussion

[godsmonster 13,477]

I figured I'd make a topic where we can discuss methods of making things/ask help when needed!

I mainly made this because I need help creating a knockout on Illustrator and I cannot find what I'm looking for on Google

What do you need help with?

[the ocean 67,525]

i’m more of a photographer than a graphic designer but i’ve been trying to navigate it

 

considering that photoshop has been rooted into my psyche trying to work with illustrator is such a hard learning curve and i’m still really struggling with it

[nowhereInParticular 17,647]

I consider myself a “redneck photoshoper” using Paint X, retired atm from MS Paint.

Mostly Cars & Vinyl mock-ups.

so I'm trying to recreate this on Illustrator

 

which I'm assuming is a knockout w that text

except I'm doing it with an image, not text, and I cannot for the life of me figure it out
 

this is the logo I'm using

 

and this is the layer it sits on top of that I'm trying too have it knock out (I hope that makes sense, I'm kinda drunk lol)

i'm not an illustrator whiz but aren't there clipping masks like there are in photoshop?

is this want you want to achieve?

I just used the difference blend mode in GIMP, but the outer line of the first image must vanish (or be blue).

Is this what you're trying to achieve? 

If so you need to put the vector logo on top of the layer you want to have as a background, select both, and use the second option on the Pathfinder. In French it's called Soustraction, it might sound like Substraction in English

Sorry I forgot to mention - you really do need to have the logo in vector, but you could always vectorise the png, if you need help with that I can attempt to do that for you!

This is the ideal male body. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

I don't promise I'll succeed, but I can certainly try!
