You might just use your logo on your own computer in Microsoft Publisher Youth Ryan Strome Jersey , or you hired a designer to create your logo that will be deployed across your web site, apparel, brochures, banners, advertisements and more. In either case Youth Adam Larsson Jersey , I promise you that taking a moment to internalize this article before you really settle on a logo will save you loads of time, money aggravation in the long run.
Knowing a little about logos ahead of time will save a lot down the road.
There are essentially two main categories that logos, and for that matter, graphics can be designed in: raster and vector. Both have pros and cons, and you'll ideally know what format the logo is going to be in before it's created for you. Having the logo designed in the right format will allow you to easily transfer it to a t-shirt Youth Kris Russell Jersey , a business card, a trade show banner, whatever you want - this format is called vector.
In order to get the most out of your logo, you'll want to ensure that it's designed in a vector format. Vector logos and graphics are comprised not of tiny pixels like raster graphics but mathematical equations. Logos designed in vector format can be enlarged to banner size and beyond. As the graphic enlarges the mathematical equations and relations change and the logo never experiences loss of quality or degradation. This means your logo will always look crisp and clear.
I know, who cares?
Well Youth Wayne Gretzky Jersey , if you or someone you hire creates your original logo in a raster format, you may run into problems down the line. Take for example, Mindi, she's a good friend and client who had a designer create some DVD cover art for her a while back. In the process the artist quickly created a sort of a logo for her and slapped it on the DVD cover. The logo was designed in a raster format.
On the DVDs her logo looked fine, so Mindi didn't think anything of it. Recently she made a decision to have a trade show banner created and wanted to use the same logo. That's where things got complicated. Mindi's logo was created in a raster format Youth Connor McDavid Jersey , and when you enlarge it to banner size it doesn't look so good. In fact, it looked "fuzzy" or "jagged" - not the professional image she was shooting for.
Mindi was faced with a difficult decision because her logo was not created correctly in vector format. She could just not use the logo or have the logo recreated in vector form, which will cost her some time and money. Either way, the decision was not a fun one.
If you intend on using your logo for more than just business cards you print out on your computer you want to ensure you know your logo is being created in vector format so you can avoid the quandary Mindi found herself in. So remember, even if your logo looks good on the computer screen it may not look as good when printed Youth Leon Draisaitl Jersey , this is especially true when printing a logo in what they call "large format" printing (banners, etc.).
The best way to ensure your logo will look good on whatever you place it on is to work with an experienced, savvy graphic designer. He or she will create your logo so you can use it, your staff can use it, and it will be welcomed and accepted by any printing professional. You will have the peace of mind knowing your logo will look outstanding whether it's on a business card or a banner.

Long scarves in a striking sheer fabric are always useful and versatile, and the advantage of screen printing is that it enables you to cover vast lengths of fabric with the same design in no time at all. This project uses light-sensitive screen coating painted around a template, and employs a spiral motif that is highly stylish. But it would be just as easy to create a different pattern that could be printed to an equally fabulous effect.
You Will Need:
(To make a scarf measuring 24 x 198cm)
* Pencil and Pen
* Screen measuring 50 x 70cm
* Paintbrush
* 150ml light-sensitive screen coating
* Cerise silk organza measuring 50cm x 2m (washed in a mild detergent to remove any finish)
1. Draw a simple spiral to the size you desire onto the centre of your screen mesh. Paint around this with light-sensitive screen coating, leaving the design area unpainted. Allow to dry, then develop and fix it by leaving out in bright sunlight for 30-60 mines until all the coating has changed color. Ensure all of the non-design area mesh is covered in the emulsion, including a large enough reservoir space on the screen for the printing ink Silk Screen Frames.
3. Place the screen sideways at the top of the fabric and place masking tape to indicate the position of the corners of the screen (stick the tape onto the printing base). Label this number 1 on both edges to indicate the top and bottom for the design area within the screen. Then move the screen along, judge by eye where the next printed design area should be. Indicate the corners of the screen again with masking tape and label as number 2. Repeat along the entire fabric, numbering 3, 4, 5 and so on.
