Until recently I only worked for print, this is my first "digital flyer"...
Image, when compressed to JPG, either exported from Illustrator or saved from Photoshop, ends with noise around the letters.
I also tried to design the flyer from scratch in Indesign and still I get the noise.
How to avoid or reduce this?
Thanks!

Tried compressing at a better quality?

Did you try making the image/file a larger size before compressing?

It's not that terrible.

24bit png should work as vaxorcist wrote.
png doesn't produce artifacts as it's a lossless compression (comparable to tiff in print).it's not a quality issue, but a compression issue.

That is .jpg compression artifacting, not noise.
As stated above, less / no compression or switch to .png.

Okay then, first thanks to all for the input.
Second, I was reading about the artifacting.
I used "Save for web..." using PNG-24.
Let's see how it looks like after they uploaded it tomorrow.I also think that the type used in the logo, because it's not with straight lines, has some visual effect that might enhance the compression's loss of sharpness.
I will update you guys tomorrow then.
Thanks again!

If he's uploading it somewhere, it's possible whatever CMS he's using is re-compressing it.
- he's uploading it in facebook. but i think from a server.mnk_b

- There's your problem then. Facebook will always compress the shit out of it.Nathan_Adams

It's being recompressed for sure. Jpg at 90% or more should have no artificats to the naked eye.

Not sure about Facebook but on Tumblr/imgur/etc you can get them to use the actual file if it's small enough instead of mangling it again.
Are you exporting it at 700+ pixels wide?

Facebook will fuck it up. You have no control over this. Their compression is more noticeable on vectorish, large single colour areas. The only solution is upload a bigger image, as I noted that, the larger it is (without exaggerating of course) the lesser the compression will be visible. also you have the option to keep it in HD if the image is big enough.
- as it is for several collabs and with the perspective of future record covers and other media, between €50 and €100.mnk_b

Just curious how much you charge to do FB flyers like this? One of my clients wants me to start designing monthly "cool" newsletters.

Yeah i get this all the time on solid color + text stuff i put on facebook. Its maddening, but it's facebook. They're trying to save money on bandwidth.

years ago, AOL used to compress all images sent to its email users, which led to awkard conversations with clients over proofs sent .... same experience I fear....

maybe point to an image in your FB rather than attach it?
i.e. <img src="http://www.server.com/image... ....

- before sending? if it is indeed email or somethingfresnobob
- it's being posted on Facebook. Read FFSmonospaced
