I think the point they’re making here is that web items (or any images, for that matter) are measured in pixels per inch, or ppi, not dpi. Dots per inch is a resolution related to vector work, not pixel work. A lot of people just say dpi no matter what artwork it is as a way of communicating resolution, when there is a distinction between work created in illustrator vs work created in photoshop.

Awesome! Congrats + very well deserved. Keep up the great work!!

Thanks for starting a topic on this, I’m really happy that you did. I understand exactly where you’re coming from, because I’m coming from the same place. And being 26 does not make me old school

Being a production designer as my full time job, and then freelancing and designing on the side, I absolutely agree with you that illustrator is the best choice quality-wise for print templates. It is the professional industry standard for crispness and compatibility when working with a printer, especially for major projects. I offer almost all of my print templates as ai, eps, and photoshop, because I know many, manyyy of the graphic river community + buyers prefer, or are more comfortable working with photoshop. I use illustrator more on a daily basis now with production work, but my heart will always hold onto photoshop a little tighter, so I get it, and I want to appeal to as many customers as possible, so everyone gets a photoshop file too. Just make sure you don’t just use the exported psd file from illustrator for the zip to be downloaded. Most of the time there are some funky merges and very ugly named layers, so just be sure to tidy it up a bit. Good luck + welcome to the river!

Congrats to DOA , you’ve been drafted! It was a pretty tough call to make, and if I get any more invites, I will definitely revisit this thread Thanks everyone for posting your work, loved seeing it all!

Just a heads up to DOA and anyone else drafted – make your first shot the best shot you can make it – it will likely attract the most followers than any other shot because it automatically gets posted in the rookies showcase

This is going to be a very tough decision! I really wish I had more to give out. Just a reminder, today’s the last full day to post to this thread if you’re interested; I’ll hand out the invite some time tomorrow!

I mentioned this on Squizmo’s thread, but I have an invite to dribbble to give away. Just post up a link to your portfolio (graphic river + personal site if you have one), and also if you’re already a prospect, please post that as well. I want to give this to someone who will really use it, and knows how great dribbble is. That, and of course, awesome work to let the other dribbblers see I’ll give it away some time on Wednesday, the 21st. Good luck!

EDIT : 1 invite, had to take care of a designer friend. But this one is just for the river peeps

I also have 2 invites to give away I’ll see who Squizmo chooses and then choose from the others, if that’s cool. Also, if you’re already a prospect, please post it. I’ll let my decision go until the 21st.

And by ‘stationary’ you mean ‘stationery’, right? Some stationery design blogs won’t even accept submissions without the correct spelling since it’s so commonly misspelled. Just a head’s up

stationary
adjective
not moving or not intended to be moved : a car collided with a stationary vehicle. • Astronomy (of a planet) having no apparent motion in longitude. • not changing in quantity or condition : a stationary population.

stationery
