Discussion Point: The digital
desktop shifts the responsibility of preparing artwork for reproduction to the
designer. Identify an area of file preparation you need to learn more about and
provide and overview (200 word max) of the process and its significance.
The area of file preparation I really need to look more into
would easily have to be file formats. There are a large variety of file formats
that all have their pros and cons. The main differences between them all from
my understanding is that some of the file sizes are made smaller and are
compressed and so in turn information is lost and the quality of the file
drops. These smaller file formats are great to use while working on the design
as they don't take as long to process for the computer. Then there are other
file formats which are much larger, take longer to process by a computer but
have all the original information available resulting in better quality output.
I think it is crucial for me as a graphic designer to understand how all these
file formats work so that I know which ones are best to use for certain occasions.
