HELPFUL HINT

To test out your image/photo/logo size and format, drag and drop from File Explorer into Internet Explorer. If your image doesn't display, you may have saved the file in the wrong format (see below RGB vs CMYK). If your photo takes up the entire screen - it's way to big!!!

This example image is 150 pixels high by 200 pixels wide.

LOGO FORMAT

SAVING FORMAT All images MUST be saved as RGB. The only acceptable file formats are: jpg and gif. As a general rule logos are best saved as GIF if they have a flat slab of color and JPG if they have gradation of colors. Your logo on your business card may not look exactly like the logo on this website. This is because printing inks mix colors differently to how your computer screen mixes colors. When you buy toner or ink for your color printer what you actually buy is Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black. This is known as CMYK, and these four inks are used to mix colors. Computer screens however use Red, Green and Blue (as the primary colors) to mix the rainbow spectrum of colors. NOTE: files saved in CMYK will not display. FILE DIMENSIONS No larger than 400 pixels wide by 400 pixels high. FILE SIZE Photos/images should be saved at 72 - 96 dpi. Try to keep the weight under 50k. ^Back to Help Menu^

Glossary

CMYK CMYK are the ink colors your printer uses to create colors. C=cyan, M=magneta, Y=yellow, K=black DO NOT SAVE YOUR IMAGES IN THIS FORMAT RGB RGB is the way computer screens creates colors. R=red, G=Green, B=blue. THIS IS CORRECT FOR YOUR ADVERT PIXELS Your computer screen is measured in pixels. DO NOT MEASURE YOUR PHOTOS IN CM or INCHES ONLY IN PIXELS. DPI DPI stands for Dots Per Inch. It is an old printing term, but for the web it describes the resolution of computer screens and is sometimes referred to as PPI (pixels per inch). Your laserprinter will be 300 or 600dpi but your screen is 72dpi therefore some images will not print out very clearly. GIF and JPG These are file formats that graphics are saved as in order to be viewable by a web browser such as Internet Explorer, Netscape, Safari, Firefox, etc. ^Back to Help Menu^
