Obviously a different project type but tree-wise, similar enough example. This is a tree symbol I use frequently – it is high enough resolution that when I zoom in, it’s still quite crisp. They are all on one layer and copied around the page, shadow added to entire layer. You could easily create 3-4 different similar layers if you wanted to var…[Read more]

You’re right – the flexibility of having the vectors to move them around and edit is nice, and of course they are more crisp than rasterized objects. I have two ways that I typically approach rendering master plan trees. One method is to use a high-resolution plan tree image that I don’t anticipate needing to change and marquee tool it + alt…[Read more]
