Why don't you post what you've come up with so far and get some critique on that? Might help you.

Maybe if everyone stopped getting their jobs printed in China there'd be room for more of a margin. Just a thought.

The error is nothing to do with your friend, the printers should be providing her with the correct job at the cost she was quoted. Don't pay for their mistake! I would say they are within their rights to ask for paper money if you've cancelled the job entirely now though.

What?

Is it a photo with a short depth of field? If you had a photo and you wanted that effect you could always mask out the person and apply some blur effects to the background in photoshop so the person is left sharp. Or set up a photo shoot!

Looking at your design, you want bleed instead of a white border. Google "printers bleed" and you should find some useful info.

Hi, it looks like Ariel rounded to me, stretched out of proportion. Eww.

I'd send the illustrator file along too, for the customer to pass on to printers and designers if requested. It's a jeffing nightmare when all I get is a crappy jpeg.

Where power point and publisher are works of the devil. "I have done this booklet that I want A4 please. My artwork is all ready to print" "no worries, send us the artwork and we'll do that asap" *Gets email. Opens power point slideshow. Face palms* :icon_biggrin:

It's not an issue to use PS as a starting point is it really? I think the only arena where it really matters how the work was produced is if you want to print it.

I would def look into getting yourself some contracts drawn up to cover yourself for ALL design work you do, I don't know where you'd find a good template though. You don't want to get ripped off.
