Artwork Requirements

Ideally you should send your artwork in a 'vector' format. This is what most professional designers will supply anyway. These should be in Adobe Illustrator format (.ai) or a PDF or EPS file generated from Illustrator or other similar graphics packages. Layered Photoshop files are also acceptable.

If you supply your artwork in a 'bitmap' format (typically JPEG or TIFF), there may be additional artworking charges. It really is worth trying to get a 'vector' version from your designer rather than sending a Bitmap image.

If you have to send a JPEG or TIFF, please send the largest one available (often referred to as a 'hi-res' version).

If you have any questions about artwork please do not hesitate to get in touch, or get your graphic designer to contact me if you prefer.

Sending Large Files
You can either send large files on CD/DVD, or use an internet file-sending service. My personal recommendation would be YouSendIt.com, which I frequently use to send large video files to clients.

Their "Lite" account is free to use, and allows sending of files up to 100Mb. For heavier use, their "Pro" account allows you to send files up to 2Gb for around £5 per month.
