  2. have you tried printing your logo yet ? I'd like to know as looking at the PSD file that was submitted its 1. in RGB (Should be CMYK) and 2. 72 dpi (should be 300 dpi, at least. In order to get it to print it right then we will probably have to redo it in vector so that it will print well.

  3. Good questions.

    1. We'd like name, title, phone, e-mail, website, address to be included
    2. I haven't printed the logo yet, but I have the fonts so it should scale. Of course, I'm not a graphic designer so I'm not sure of it. I'll try it tomorrow (I'm at home now).

  4. unfortunately it won't scale I'm afraid, I'm also afraid that the colors that are in the file won't come out the same as you see them on screen seeing as the file was created in RGB.

  5. well I tried but I think your going to have to get your logo redone into a vector format, while photoshop can be used having the Dpi that low is causing problems, its even tricky to get it into Illustrator so that it can be converted.
    Will see what I can do in a couple of days.

  6. I agree. The logo should be in vector.

  8. Sorry for the Photoshop hassle guys. I actually specified AI in our logo contest, but the winner had been using Photoshop. I let it slide because I thought it would convert easily.

  9. Everything's looking great so far. Some overall contest feedback:

    1. We're not looking for any new graphics, apart from the lock in our new logo. Subtle shapes, breaks and backgrounds are fine, just nothing large and obviuos.

    2. Please don't use the "FinFolio" logo font as the main font for the business card. I included it because I thought it would be needed to make the font scale.

  10. Logo update: I changed the logo to CMYK and upscaled it to 300dpi and 600dpi. Photoshop seemed to convert it just fine. I also opened it in Illustrator and saved it. This all seemed to work fine. I'm not a graphic designer so let me know if I missed anything.

  18. Just as a reminder to fellow designers and the job poster. You may want to reconsider using die-cuts in the business cards because it is very expensive to get the die-cuts done. Also I do agree with my fellow posters, please don't copy or steal someone else's work.

  19. I have already mentioned it maybe expensive having a cutter, but if it is just standard rounded corners there may be one in existence at his chosen printer.

  20. I'm sorry for the lack of feedback. This was a crazy week for me, and this is the first chance I've had to look at everything. Very impressive--there are *several* designs that we would be happy with. We're currently evaluating and will pick something soon. Thanks.
