i recently had a job to do... and had to work from pdf's from a designer... the client says it is all too big... i say that i worked to the size of the images... turned out the client signed it off having looked at it at 66.7%.... nice one!
- lookingat 66.7 and saying too big... wouldnt you have to make it even smaller then?cannonball1978
- signed off at 66.7, then saw it later built at 100%acescence

The designer should know something about the media they are designing for. Plain and simple. Either know something about paper, binding and finishes or about what it takes to develop web content from your design.
Design is a craft.

I'm sure one of the reasons this occurs (and it has to me many times from print designers doing web) is that the designer worries that the web-based content may be used in print one day so protects his ass by making it all at print resolutions. Or then again, maybe they are just muppets.
- this isn't a bad idea ... but make a copy and resize and send that file instead.pizzafire

i tell print designers to use 288dpi and usually supply a measurement width for their photoshop files. 288 divides to 72 perfectly without buggering the design up but still lets the print designer use the toolsets / filters / measurements their comfortable with - obviously at lower res the effects / styles / whatever become different to use or apply and that confuses the fuckers.

I'm a designer and I'm pixel-paranoid. I created this Design Slideshow exactly for that reason: http://www.theclientspace.com/de…
