Hey gang, this will be my last blog update and it covers all I've learned in Digital File Preparation. I'm happy to say that looking back at this former posts, I learned a great deal about Microsoft programs as well as what it takes to work with deadlines, and what all goes into the preparation of the final printed product.
Some of the highlights:
-Learning to create a Duotone Raster and making it so it's coherently printable.
-Never take your image from the internet. It might seem like a quick fix but really, it's going to hurt the overall finished product with fuzzy imagery.
-Printing for bulk is easier than printing for few.
-How to properly package a file, including links, paragraph styles, and the difference when printing for RGB and CMYK (including spot and pantone processes).
-The product is about customer preference and must meet their specs in order to keep them happy and give you a guideline for how you create it.
-Creating and properly formatting pictures for bitmaps.
- Worked on a gate fold for the first time.
-Mastered scanning images
-Learned to keep better track of flash drives.
-Creating inverse type.
- Working on a budget.
-Printing variable data dependent on the customer while still satisfying the need to get the product out there.
Thanks for reading and hope you all have a great summer!
