Meanwhile, the opportunity to preorder my book, Designing for Print is now! When I started the Kickstarter I was thinking the retail price of the book would be $85.00. But as things are progressing I am thinking the retail price will need to be close to $100 for me to cover my costs so now is definitely the time to get it for $50! Don’t wait, seriously, you will want to have this on your desk while you are designing or getting estimates. Design departments, get one copy for each team member and get everyone on the same page! Printers, buy them as gifts for your customers! Pre-Order Now by clicking here
Hi there,
i really love your work and your effort to share knowledge about designing for print. As a print designer you are my good reference with tips and problemsolving issues. The post about the clean files was a truly interesting one, and i started to read it, but then indeed something went wrong and it has gone now.
Is there anyway to find the original article again? The link provided in the article above sends me to a 404 page.
It would be really nice of you to help me out by finding the whole article again.
Keep up the good work and i really appreciate your effort. It is kind of heart by you to be working on this site. I know it takes a lot of time.
Kind regards, a graphic desinger form the other side of the world, loving this site.
Hi Anneleen, I think I made a mistake with the post and I can’t find the other half. Thanks for the compliments, and I hope the content is helping out!
