Final Print Requirements

Project Adjustments for Cohesion Among Prints

Fonts:
  •  18pt for smallest font
  •  25pt for main body text
  •  60pt for title (please use latinate words for your creature titles)
  • Please use colored Drop Cap (see example below)
  •  Use Roman Numerals for numbers (please vary the "figure..." numbers


Image Treatment:
  •  Filter: Photoshop>Filter>Artistic>Poster Edges (use at your discretion to achieve inky effect)
  • All yellow parchment as background (do not use Black version please)
  • Potentially use Blending modes with a parchment layer on top of main image to achieve 'ink on parchment' look

Keep Original Print Size:
  • 20"W x 15"T, 225 DPI
  • Prepare image to be 10% lighter than you think you want (for print darkening)
  • Bring PRINT READY PSD (Layers Intact) Files for Tuesday. I will provide print cards + Paper for your prints (paid by lab fees)

Examples:

John, you mentioned us using our course fees to pay for the paper and printing. Where should I pick up the material and print the image?

My mistake. I didn't read the description fully.
