One of the first
decisions to ponder when you are starting any design project:
Am I EVER going to want to print this?
The answer is
Always YES!!!
Yes because designers can create for print quality, have you approve the design
and then down save the files for web. However a designer cannot Add Quality into a file to get it up
to par for print.
Designing for websites, email, facebook, instagram, twitter and other social
media can be created at 72dpi (dots per inch) where as to get a clear, crisp
image for print, the file requires 300dpi.
Often a project
has a few different layers of text, pictures, gradients, images in order to
come together to create the final image. Purchasing photos off the internet at
the highest quality available at the first time will allow for future potential;
whereas if you click on the small file it may not be good enough quality for
print.
Recommendations
that you keep all the support files in a place that you can find them in their
original state will make your life and mine a whole lot easier. Things change down the road and sometimes
tracking down a photo you ordered on the internet or found someplace is more
costly and more time consuming than if you had started with high quality right
from the beginning.
