will be back
1 min read
Been so long since i've visited here and everything going on has been hectic.
LOVE - Never felt so wonderful yet painful at the same time.
WORK - too busy as usual.
LIFE - like most people say...."sucks" BUT still have to keep on.
Games - checking my old games and try to finish it as my PC is only low-mid range and don't have enough cash to upgrade. Back to CounterStrike:Global Offensive and am so rusty now.
Health - still not as healthy but will try to do more to keep in shape. Going back to see if I could get into basketball again. Tho not my fav but will keep me going. Chess is my thing and a nice app which playing on cell from time to time. Beat 2x the highest level (so proud) but am sticking to midway level as thats probably more of my level.
Will be slowly getting back to do some artwork at my spare time apart from missing someone so special in my heart. And most likely pick up my pencil back again.

designers for print.....
2 min read
for the future designers out there and you want to design something for print......please please know something about it
google is your best friend if you did not even took a course
CMYK, bleed, crop marks, dpi, PDF.....InDesign.....Pantone colours are good but when you got lots there your client going to get charged so much on print costs, and check what paper your client want it to be printed
cleaned so many......converted, made bleed, retyped, resized, butchered artworks and puzzled them in as took freelance designers from overseas or hard to contact (guess what....unlikely they will hire you again)
templates are good to help you but if you flatten everything with the template then it will go back to you and go back to your work files (if you havent flattened it yourself then back to square 1)
its a tough market and so many designers out there and most are so creative and sometimes inspiring. It really pays to know these stuff and saves you and your client time for some simple matters like this.
Some of your clients could be demanding and stuff but adding these (ie no bleed etc) back at you might not be good unless your really patient. Deadlines are hell like in any other businesses out there. And doesn't look good as to you...a designer for missing parts that is needed for print.
luckily handled a few that goes back and forth
but mainly check if its good for print and if i cant tidy it up in no time its ok (makes me think tho if the designer either missed this part or really dont know) BUT if will take a while then will be charged for my time OR goes back to the designer.
maybe the last one for now is save your files and DONT flatten/merge layers in which you cant edit back
PEACE!
MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
