Design preparation for print Ep1/15 [Multimedia design course – Print]

When we think about design for print there are a number of factors we need to consider.

In this video I am going to be touching on the following topics:

– Image quality

– Colours

– Document setup

If these things are not addressed early on in a project they can come back to haunt you later.

Just when you think you have finished your design and its ready for print, you get the printer calling you up saying that various files are not in the right format, colours are wrong and you need to go back over your work and spend more time tweaking it.

In this video I want to share with you my experience and inform you of the things you need to be aware of so hopefully they don’t happen to you.

Enjoy
