Mastering File Types and Resolution

This is a free introductory class on file mechanics and resolution rules. Every day, designers make critical mistakes that cost agencies thousands of dollars in ruined print runs or blurry web assets. Sending a “fake vector” to a client or using the wrong color profile can instantly kill your credibility.

What We Cover In This Free Lesson:

• The Ultimate File Type Blueprint: Master all essential asset formats from vectors (.AI, .EPS, .SVG) and rasters (.PSD, .WEBP) to document layouts (.INDD). Never guess which extension to export again.
• The Fake Vector File Learn the 2-second trick inside Adobe Illustrator to catch low-res .JPG files hidden inside vector containers before they go to production.
• The 300 DPI Myth: Learn why print requires 300 DPI, why web doesn’t, and how to safely use 150 DPI (or less) to design massive billboard and event signage without crashing your computer.
• The Vector-to-Raster Cheat Sheet A step-by-step procedural manual on how to downsample assets properly, change document color profiles safely, and export flawless, press-ready PDFs. Ready to upscale your technical design skills?
