All artwork must be compatible with Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop. We are currently using Illustrator CS3, but prefer you backsave to CS2. For customers sending Macintosh disks and art, there will be no problem reading your files. If, however, your doing the art on PC's, (Corel Draw, etc.) you must export your file as an .ai document for us to properly output your art as you know it. Please supply a color jpg so we can make sure there is no difference between the supplied disk art and what you have on your platform. (Sometimes letter styles are incomplete and gradients can be weirded).
Please convert all fonts to outlines. We have access to about 12,000 fonts but they can be different names depending on which font house and what platform they are on.
See our contact page for direct links to the artist you are emailing art to. Please include company name and po#. (this is especially important if the art is being sent by a third party). If you do not know who is doing the art for you, send it to art@designerts.com
Once again send me only Illustrator or photoshop images. Do not to exceed 10 mg for file size. Also, please include a copy of the art or include a jpg so I can make sure everything came across O.K. and to let me know something is coming
We can read almost any type of media.
With the exception of Syquest and older type media. Send a CD-R! It's cheap and works every time.
Special Note about jpgs and gifs
Jpgs and gifs are for web content only!!!! These types of files cannot be used as art. They are specially created for fast downloads and have serious quality issues. If these are the only types of art available, they must be recreated and will incur an art charge. When we ask for an illustrator file, do not "place" the jpg into illustrator and expect that to be good. It must be a native "vector" illustrator document.
Types of Files we do not accept
Microsoft Word -.doc
Microsoft Excel -.xls
Microsoft Powerpoint -.ppt
Microsoft Publisher -.pub
Quark (any version) -.qxd
Adobe Pagemaker -.pm
