Hi

Does anyone have a useful tutorial for creating an SVG out of Illustrator I am getting some text not displaying and it is saving the whole artboard when I do it.

Hi Graham,

Have you had a look at : http://www.highlander.co.uk/blog/2010/10/19/illustrator-and-svg-an-example-of-getting-your-vectors-onto-the-web/

I’m not big on Illustrator, so this might not be the right kind of thing!

Hi George - yep checked that out. I am not a huge illustrator person myself - am I better doing it from Photoshop

Hey Graham,

You're not alone; SVGs are a little tricky! We don't have any tutorials about this yet, but we will next year. Illustrator Foundations should be complete in late March. We're experimenting with a new production process for Illustrator Foundations, and we'll release it all at once instead of releasing one stage at a time.

Cool thanks for all the input chap - looking forward to the videos Nick and also will dive through the blog Charles and see where that takes me.

Anyway i have a question. Do you think SVG support older version of browser? Since i use this for my logo for my portfolio.

Thanks @Mat, oh no i need to backup a .png format from my logo and some parts of my site since I implemented the svg format instead of png. Thank you for the link
