Changing the resolution in PS will only make the image larger if you have resampling selected. And even then it will lower the quality. If not, when placing the image in Quark or ID it'll make the image smaller.

Employed, and work freelance. Not that it has anything to do with this discussion. So, out of curiosity, do you only employ people who are supposed to be able to do absolutely everything, instead of specialising? Seems like a cheap way of doing things. Levi, if you want to talk "high and...

Yes, the "crowd-sourcing" of the GAP identity went really well, didn't it? "Anybody with a pc/mac can get into design these days..." And therein lies the last statement from you that I'll take seriously, because a PC or Mac, as well as Creative Suite or Quark, are tools for a Designer, not the...

So, just so I get this right, you run a design agency, and want to see graphic designers removed from the industry, unless of course you judge them to have talent or ability? Haha... Class. And no, I haven't been near a university, or London, for years. Absolutely naff all "tree-hugging"...

Out of about 30+ on our degree course, there are now less than 10 who are professional designers. It's a stupidly low amount, but it still doesn't mean that because it's hard someone should give up before even starting Uni. That sort of thinking will leave the industry with no fresh designers.

So, there'll be no need for fresh Designers in 3 or 4 years, and everyone will by default have to be code monkeys to have any sort of career? What a load of crap.

Unless it was explicitly agreed at the start that you would be handing over source files (and that this would be included in the overal price for the work), then never give them away for free. Clients all too often believe that they're entitled to these files automatically, and will give you...
