Providing Artwork

An AI vector file type created by Adobe that can only be created or edited with Adobe Illustrator. A vector's main advantage over raster is its infinite scalability, there is no quality lost as well as being easily editable specifically colors. Raster images use many colored pixels or individual building blocks to form a complete image.Because raster images are constructed using a fixed number of colored pixels, they can’t be dramatically resized without compromising their resolution. When stretched to fit a space they weren’t designed to fill, their pixels become visibly grainy and the image distorts. This will result in a pixelated print. Recommended image size 4500x4500 at 300dpi

RGB vs. CMYK

CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Key/Black) is the color space for printed materials. Simply put, CMYK is the color mode intended for printing with ink, such as business card designs. RGB is the color mode intended for screen displays. When designing, the biggest mistake you could make is forgetting to convert to the appropriate color mode for your project. If you forget to do this, colors could appear washed out or too vibrant.
