Hi there, ya’ll!

 I’ve been thinking for a while that Chrysalis Logos needs an attractive new tagline that will catch the imagination of all who read it, but my brain is occupied making pictures in my head, so I want your help! If you can come up with a tagline that makes me scream “That’s the one!” then you will score 4 delicious Cookietree brownies (which have been described as chocolate bars with bits of brownie in them) AND a full retail account from SendOutCards, good for one year, with enough credits to send 10 greeting cards through the mail.

All you have to do is write your tagline(s) in the comments section, and I will choose the winner no later than March 25th. You can enter as many times as you want.  I also have a small prize for everyone who participates, so you really can’t lose.

Feel free to browse our site to get a feel for what we do and who we are. I will give you one hint: Chrysalis Logos aspires to be a small business’s best friend when it comes to design.

Good luck!

What is dpi? (And why should I care?)

Dpi stands for dots per inch.

Dpi relates to the resolution and file size of a bitmap image. The higher the dpi, the higher a resolution you have.

If you were publishing an image on the web, it is common to use a file with a resolution of 72 dpi.

With printed materials, most presses print at a resolution of 300 dpi, although some go higher.

Why should you care?

If you send your printer a 72 d pi image, you may wind up with a low-quality image that is pixellated or has “artifacts.”

Conversely, if you try to publish a 300 dpi image to the web, it is going to be huge and you will probably have to scroll alot to see the whole picture. Not to mention it will take longer to load than a smaller picture.

Therefore, always keep in mind the purpose of your image before setting it to a certain dpi.

NOTE: If you have an illustration that is a low resolution, but you need to turn it into a high resolution, contact us and we will show you how or fix it for you. :)
