how to Convert logo image to vector using Illustrator CS3??

I have Adobe Illustrator CS3 and I would like to know how do I Vectorize a image?? I have a logo that I want to put on my shirt but in order for me to put it on my shirt it has to be Vectorized. Can someone please tell me how to do this using Adobe Illustrator CS3??? Thanks

 

It would take much to long to explain how to vectorize a image, let alone each howto do it. And besides there are tons of guides all over the internet for this. So... if you want upload the file on the net and post a url in this thread as long as the image isn't do advanced I'll vectorize it, otherwise look into a program called Vector Magic that will automatically vectorize the image.

 

Ok here is my url http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/ind...ndID=370847648&albumID=335431&imageID=2140603

 

What font did you use for this?

 

Um I dont know. Someone else design it for me

 

Well does it matter to you as long as I use a similar font?

 

Naw it doesn't matter to me!. I just want to put my picture on a t-shirt.

 

Thought I'd give you a update. I got bogged down between my school work, and my job and didn't have the time to complete the vectorization. I am going to work on it all tonight and try to finish off.

 

Ok thanks alot!!!

Heres just a .png of the vectorized logo. I was playing around with dualbooting my system and screwed up my windows partition via a linux disk editing tool. Before I realized my mistake I had already told the program to do the work to the HD so I lost my windows install. So I recovered a lot including this PNG image of the vectorized logo but I couldn't get the actual vectorized illustrator file though.

 

yo whats up peainapod i am new to afterdawn and i saw you mention vector magic... do you by chance know a way to aquire the desktop version of vector magic for free??

 

I'm looking for something free to do this too.. OO draw will save as vector, but nothing will open them again after.. not even draw :s

Help us out.. windows preferably but if not any platform

 

There are a few options...

1)Adobe Illustrator (obviously)
2)Scribus (open source Adb. Ill. alternatice, not the best interface)
3)Vector Magic (Cheaper, but less options)

That is about all I can think of at the moment.

 

I have used scribus.. quite like it though development seems to have stalled..

Will these do jpg/gif to some vector format? Sorry.. graphics aren't my strong subject.

 

I don't know. I haven't used Scribus in years.
