really creative Web site

November 25, 2008 |  by ken harper

this is one of my favorite sites...it's a lot different than most. one of its best features is that it features hidden links throughout the page. It's just another way to present info in a really creative way. and the design work featured on it is really cool.

Hey all!

I just stumbled upon this site, it has a bunch of cool websites. The other sections of this site are pretty cool too, there are some really good letterhead sets, and lots of cool pictures and graphics.

Understand DPI (Dots Per Inch)

November 11, 2008 |  by kenharper

Here is a good article on DPI.  It talks about what it is and how it differs for print and on screen.  The print info is towards the bottom, but I recommend reading the whole article.

Remember Professor Harper recommends 300 dpi for print and 200 dpi as a minimum.  Oh, and save as a tiff.  InDesign really likes that file format.
