print question for designers
Hey, when designing a logo that is going to be used for print work... and hence it needs to be fully resizable (vector)... i have been simply using photoshop and making sure that everything i create is a shape vector, and not rasterizing the image at all, and then saving it as a photoshop .EPS file? is this good enough or do you really need to use say illustrator? ive been using photoshop for ages so i am just use to doing it that way, but i want to make sure that the final product is still going to be okay with no problems when people open it in say illustrator to make it 10x larger...

make sure you use a high dpi and cmyk. 1200 dpi is usually what i start out with, it can always be dropped. Most bcards I do I go down to 600.

High DPI wont matter . But you SHOULD learn illustrator or corel draw . They are the way to go and takes 10 x less time to create the same thing

The image doesnt have to be a vector image to print. Who told you that is an idiot
![]() But that said if you are printing in spot colours and so need the logo vectord photoshop wont work, its eps is still a bitmat and not a vectord image, so you will need to create in Illistrator or freehand. Avoid Coral draw its for amateurs working at home. |

okay so basically if you are just using photoshop then there is no point in providing a photoshop .eps file?

for printing (vector) artworks.. i'd say use coreldraw or macromedia freehand.. these are some of the top vector editors right now.

one thing I learned from working in a print shop and also having a best friend that went to one of the top design schools is that your wasting your time doing anything above 150dpi....there are almost no printers (the machine not the shop) that go above it....most printers (the shop) just tell you to do it above because of the myth that has been perpetuated for so long about

okay cool... so when creating a logo for print using photoshop, what file types would you need to supply? is there any point in making everything shape layers? and do you just make the logo a size that should be the largest it will need to be?
