Here's one. Client says - 'I need the file to be 300 dpi for the website.' I say - 'Ummm... ok. What about height and width??' Client - 'They said just make a 300 dpi jpg file'...
- This isn't the client being dumb, just uninformed by 'they'.i_monk

these requests are often:
1. a collosal misunderstanding, like the 300dpi issue, based on a lack of understanding
or
2. an oddball form of respect for the god-like powers of the designer
I have to remember Conway's Law:
Never attribute to evil intent anything that can be explained by ignorance, confusion or stress....

Even designers don't seem to understand DPI.
You can see it in a ton of threads on this very site where morons are telling people to design for the iPhone 4 and set the screen DPI in the file settings to 326.
- Isn't that so that if you print the mocks it's the right size or something???orrinward
- This is the only valid reason for including a DPI spec with digital work.orrinward
- nah they just think they need to set it to work on the iphone display.animatedgif
