all my works include source files!!!

  • The most common file types needed are AI (Illustrator) and EPS for most professional print jobs. These     are vector format files. These files should be in a CMYK color format. Vector art allows you to reduce or enlarge a design to ANY size without losing detail or clarity. Also, I will provide you with print quality PDF file.
  • For home use and some print jobs you will need TIFF and PSD files. These are pixel files and should have a DPI (dots per inch) of at least 300 dpi. 600-1200 dpi is best for professional printing. These type of files lose their detail when enlarged but can be reduced.
  • The last file types you will need would be JPEG and GIF. These are pixel files and are used for web design. They should be in a RGB color format. You will receive crisp 72 dpi files for the Internet. A GIF file will be transparent if you do not want a white box around it when displayed on your page.
