Sven, if we convert any artwork which is ment to be printed to CMYK format |
| 4 |
we should be set to go, unless |
| 5 |
the resolution is real small for the size of print... i.e a 640x480 image on |
| 6 |
A4 is likely to be ok but not great.. |
| 7 |
|

So if anyone wishes to design posters or any visual media it really should |
| 9 |
be designed for a specific size |
| 10 |
below is the Euro paper size plus its physical size in millimeteres. If your |
| 11 |
from the US then erm.. erm..:) US |
| 12 |
Legal is A4 .... work from there?!?! :) :) (I have lived in the US for 8 |
| 13 |
years and still use the A system) :) |

Peeps wanting to design there own posters/visuals for printing, its real |
| 33 |
important to work in CMYK mode, Gimp and |
| 34 |
Photoshop support such modes, the default is RGB, I wouldnt advize working |
| 35 |
in RGB then converting to CMYK due |
| 36 |
to the shade differences which might screw up your design.. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
Visual branding is a horrible term divised by corperate idiots who wish to |
| 39 |
sound intelligent:) but what it means is that |
| 40 |
if you couldnt read, you would know that a poster/hand-out or any other |
| 41 |
visual communication is designed for Gentoo. |
| 42 |
At this point the G is the symbol of Gentoo, the visual-brand/logo.. but I |
| 43 |
am thinking of style also |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
A Technical example would be CSS for web, but this "CSS" would be for |
| 46 |
Presentations/press releases/posters/hand-outs etc..etc.. |
| 47 |
If you look at the backgrounds I have done so far for the presentation |
| 48 |
template they intentionally follow a style, pastle shades and |
| 49 |
suble colour changes... I am trying to work on a CSS for it all, I am trying |
| 50 |
to devise a concept for the other visuals now. I think |
| 51 |
I may have a few ideas, I didnt really like the idea I had posted previous |
| 52 |
(LUG poster) it was a style mixture and I dont feel |
| 53 |
that is the way to go, let me play around with a few ideas before you shout |
| 54 |
at me:) |
