Save The Design By Saving It Right!
Have you taken a print of your artwork and found it highly unsatisfactory? Yep, we know how annoying it is for both the mind and the pocket when the designs just won’t look right after printing. Allow us to unveil where it all could go wrong, the final file making part of the design.
Designing as we know takes at least one good dose of imagination but there’s more to this than what meets the eye. We all began somewhere with an inspiration or a muse but a technique is only mastered with a solid base of knowledge. So let’s begin at the end here, as we take you through the last but the most critical stage of designing – Saving your design in the correct format.
understand what you are designing and what your goal is as we have certain output parameters to follow
Basically, knowing what your target is helps you play better. There are four main file formats for saving your graphic design i.e JPG, PNG, GIF and SVG. Each of these file formats has its plus and minus points and a distinct usage to highlight the visual importance of an image or design. Graphic design falls into the deemed category of ‘raster’ or ‘vector’ so your artwork has to be saved to a particular format based on the output you require for your project.
Cracking these two categories is a piece of cake, all you need to know is that Raster images are either made up of pixel-based programs, captured with a camera or a scanner. They are images that have a finite number of pixels and can lose quality when scaled higher. JPG, PNG and GIF are formats perfect for raster images.
And now about the second one – Vector! Vector graphics are generated with design software and can be sized as much as possible without losing quality. SVG is best for vector images, while you can also save a vector graphic as a JPG or PNG but there are obvious limitations to its quality.
Remember as kids, we couldn’t always eat candies, sweets and cakes all the time? We would critically plan it so we can enjoy it to the fullest. Like when we were watching our favorite cartoon or with our friends or sometimes when no one was looking. Similarly, we have to apply that ninja-like technique here. We now know that these file formats carry their pros and cons so let’s dive in and see how we can make the most out of each!
