[wicked]

[hereslizz]

[Moke]

w00t!

We had a card designed but some of the text is too small and I need it blown up a smidge. I dunno who to send it to! LOL!

[wicked]

send it to me i am killing time because i dont wanna get paint out

[Moke]

Sooooooooooooooondrrrrrrraaaaaaaaa!

I need you again! :D You worked some good magic on that file but now the other half of the project seems to be a different size. I sent it to you !

[wicked]

will get it tomorrow, where are you sending it, i can download their specs

[Moke]

overnightprints.com.

I tried resizing it and it's either too big or too small. I also sent it to Lizz so i will email you if she is able to help.

[wicked]

oh thats an easy fix
i always have issues with them
i have to convert, its an easy thing

[Moke]

ok. The one you did is perfect but the first one is giving me fits.

[wicked]

the first one?

[Moke]

Sorry, the other side. We had the illustrator do 2 sides. You did side 2.

[hereslizz]

Is my help needed here still? I haven't checked my email today at all but saw the beckoning in another thread.

[wicked]

i dont know, i work with overnight prints alot, they have odd formatting hoops to jump. i just didnt jump em. but its an easy fix tomorrow

[Moke]

I sent an email to your gmail addy. If it's an easy fix I will take it so I can upload it tonight. If not, sondra has offered to fix it in the morning.

[hereslizz]

What exactly needs done to the yellow side?

I don't see any text other than in the pic like on the papers and signs and stuff.

[Moke]

It's just too big. I have no idea how to resize it for business card size. When I upload it I only get a corner. But when I try to shrink it using another program it shrinks it way down.

oooohhhhhh. I don't know if I know how to do that. :indiff:

Let me poke around.

[wicked]

it has to do with the document settings and the file save process.
save it as a tiff, if you can do the work with illustrator, save it as a jpeg, send it to photoshop, download the set up file from overnight prints for photoshop, make it fit the pattern size, save as 300 dpi and a tiff file... i think thats all

[hereslizz]

Well. To make it edge to edge I can't scale it with out skewing it a little. It's not business card ratio'd. Like if I shrink the height down to card size, there are gaps at the sides (left and right). I'd have to stretch it. And that would probably make it look wonky.

[Moke]

I tried to download the file for publisher... it shrank it when I uploaded it. :getyou:

its all about dpi 300 is imperitive.

as for the ratio, i had to muck with it
i made layers
i put a layer of the base color beneath the design, took the design apart and put it back together

[Moke]

poo. We may have to go with postcard size. Which means the 2nd file might be too small.

:bang:

[wicked]

there is a real learning curve to overnight prints, i tore my hair out the first couple of times i sent orders through

[wicked]

send it to me , i have photoshop and illustrator on my laptop at home, i will go download the overnight print files and it shouldnt take long

[hereslizz]

d00d. :laugh:

You did way more that I did. I mean I would have to move actual graphics around a little.

I scaled it as it was, let me save it as a jpg and show you.

[hereslizz]

This is the jpg. I didn't fudge it like wicked did. I just scaled it down and stretched the edges a little. But now everything looks longer than it's supposed to.

So...I think you should let Sondra do it, she's a professional, I'm just a hobbyist. ;)

[Moke]

It does look a bit stretched... but it's better than a shot of my middle finger.

[wicked]

i got that attitude when i did my first overnight print job... i called it all sorts of names... vowed to print itout and drive it to california

[hereslizz]

LMAO!

I will send you the real version. See if it's too stretched to use.

[Moke]

Sondra I forwarded the files to you.

[wicked]
