Very simple. I would like to recreate the design below. Will send you all the files needs; font, images. What I need for you is to prepare the File in Illustrator. Descriptions below. File Preparation and Transfer
To ensure your job goes through production as smooth as possible, please prepare your files using the following guidelines:
File Type
Vector Files: Adobe Illustrator (AI & EPS)
Make sure to place your artwork on the artboard. The artboard has to be the same size as your artwork. Embed all images. If you have more than one artwork, define artboard for each artwork.
1. Print Ready Files: Adobe Acrobat (PDF)
Only high resolution PDF files can be printed.
2. Bitmap Files: Adobe Photoshop (TIFF, PSD, JPEG)
Flatten all your layers before sending your file for print.
3. Page Layout Files: Adobe InDesign (INDD)
Make sure to include all the links & fonts. The best way to insure all files are included is to make a “Package” from InDesign. Your page size needs to be same as your artwork.
File Name
Please avoid all punctuations and symbols in your file name. Only use upper case, lower case, underscore and hyphen in the file name.
Scale
Whenever possible build your file at final size. If you have to scale it down it’s highly recommended to build your files at 1/12 scale. For example if your final output file will be 10 x 15 feet (120 x 180 inches), build your file at 10 x 15 inches.
Font
Include all fonts used in your document or convert them to outlines.
Color
Files can be created in either RGB or CMYK. Make sure to embed your profiles when saving your files. Always supply a proof for color matching. Always build your blacks at 60-40-40-100 for CMYK or 0-0-0 for RGB files.
DPI
As a general rule prepare all files at 70-100 dpi at final size.
Bleed
If possible build your files with bleed. It’s important to define the bleed as “Bleed” in Adobe Illustrator or InDesign. You can build 1/4” - 1/2” bleed in you file. We can adjust as necessary.
File Size & DPI
For best results, files should be between 75-100 dpi at final size. All images should be in the CMYK or RGB and saved as tiffs or eps.
DPI/ File Size Chart
Reducing the size of the file will keep the sizes manageable and keep your upload time to a minimum without impacting print quality. The following is a quick guide:
Print Size dpi 1” = 1’ scale
File Less than 100 Sq. Feet 600 dpi
Less than 800 Sq. Feet 420 dpi
Less than 1600 Sq. Feet 360 dpi
Less than 3200 Sq. Feet 300 dpi
Less than 6400 Sq. Feet 240 dpi
Color
Files can be created in either RGB & CMYK color spaces. Make sure to embed your profiles when saving your files. If there is no embedded profile, Adobe RGB 1998 will be used for RGB files and US Web Coated (SWOP) v2 for CMYK files. If PMS matching is required, build your files using PMS numbers, not 4 color process values. Always supply a proof for color matching. Keep in mind that a laser copy is not a proof. Always build your black vector objects at 60-40-40-100 for CMYK and 0-0-0 for RGB files.
Font
Include all the fonts used in your document, or convert them to outlines.
Scale
Build your files at 1/12 scale. For example, if your final output file will be 120 x 180 inches (10 x 15 feet), make your file at 10 x 15 inches.
