Stop The Press!

As you may know, a few weeks ago I designed an annual report for SIFE. Well, after completing the design and emailing it away, I've managed to get my hands on a few copies of the final print.

After looking through the report, I was actually a little disappointed in the image quality of the backgrounds (which I had designed)

So, my tip for designing for print -

Always make sure that your images have a large DPI (dots per inch) so when your publication/document in printed none of the images are pixelated (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixelation). It's hard to notice on a computer screen when designing so make sure you print out a prototype before mas producing!

In conclusion, I should have printed the report out myself to check before handing it to SIFE for printing. Ah well, I've learnt from my mistakes which is always an important.
