Job interviews

Ive got an interview on Friday for a sign company
and it should be interesting cos I will be asked to design a something graphical in 2 hours based on a brief and there is about 15 designers going for the same job.
I am not too worried I have got some experience working in a sign company but i have never had to print out the design just design it. It has been a while since I used illustrator.

Why is it that when you do a couple of designs in illustrator you save it as a eps to import it in to photoshop to do a shear maniplulation in photoshop but when you import it back into illustraor it groups all of your designs and cannot seperate each of your designs from the group?? I thought illustrtor was a vector based program like flash yet it doesnt seem so flexible.

You answered it above. when you imported the eps into photoshop, it rasterizes the eps file. This makes it a bitmap file and no longer vector. so when you opened that file again in illustrator it was already converted.

Sorry for posting this so long after your job interview, but I just became a member.
When you bring it back into Illustrator, Illustrator has a great tool to vectorize bitmaps by tracing it.
If you still would like details post and I will respond back to this thread.
