Starts up computer, waits, starts up illy, waits, stares intently at blank page, scratches head, starts to worry, opens firefox, looks on interweb for hours, switches back to illy, stares at blank page, switches back to firefox, turns off computer, feels guilty, worries, has dinner, sleeps. Repeat as needed...

this will sound as a dumb question but:
Each of us has 4 pages (2 spreads):
the first page is for a presentation/introduction
the pages on the second spread are for display
the 2nd page (on the right) of the 1st spread is for display or what?
it is meant to be a cover or we can just use it as we like?- anything you'd like anywhere except for page 1..neue75_bold
- The right side of the 1st spread is for displaying work as well... just follow the grid.NotByHand
- ok perfect. Thought it was for a kind of personal cover with some limitations.Fariska

Question in terms of the entry form.
It asks for your QBN name and how long you have been a memeber etc.
I have been on here since 2004 but forgot my password a couple of years ago so I change my username from Baskerville to BaskerviIle (cap i instead of an L). which should I put. I don't wanna look like a noob- as you wish... but can you not get your old info back via resent password?neue75_bold
- Fucking n00b...NotByHand
- no because stupidly I removed my email address and QBN wouldn't send me my details elsewhereBaskerviIle

I'll try to have something in this weekend. I already have most of my artwork done. Just have to read the instructions again and see if my old work actually fits into the guidelines, hahaha
- magnificent_ruin0
here's betting at least half aren't print ready, use rgb colors, 72 dpi, etc
- I thought it was CMYK?juhls
- I'm expecting worse...neue75_bold
- * starts crying... because I know you're right.NotByHand
- Oh, that's what you were saying, hahahajuhls

ok here is my dumb print question...
since i use illustrator for everything i create.do i export the file[s] to photoshop as a 300DPI image?
open the ai file directly in photoshop and save it there as 300DPI?i only use photoshop for PSBs so my knowledge of print is next to nothing...
someone just tell me 1 way to get it done and then i can probably submit today, all my art is done for this.
would it need to be higher than 300DPI?
or is that the standard for printing??all my files are CMYK to begin with...
what you have seen of my work are just screen captures.the actuall files are rather large.. which i mean in height or width.
i design everything at a minimum of 7feet tall. which is great for this project since its vector. i can downsize anything and not lose any details.:)
