godsmonster 13,477 Posted March 18, 2022 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 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the ocean 67,525 Posted March 18, 2022 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 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
annedauphine 33,878 Posted March 19, 2022 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! 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
