Comic Book Page Technical Specifications

This is a post for comic book artists preparing their pages for their publisher or colourist. I'm aware that many pros still don't know some of this stuff, often because the bigger publishers have production teams who will take the incorrectly sized or shaped pages and adjust them before passing on to colourists or for print. However, this a) is giving more work to people that you can easily do yourself and b) reduces the amount of control you have over how your work is printed. It makes sense to provide files that will present your work in the best way possible.

So, the basics of a digital page file:

A standard US comic book page size is 6.875 by 10.438 inches bleed, 6.625 by 10.187 inches trim, with a live image area of around 6 by 9.5 inches. The DPI depends on your publisher, but the higher the better. 600dpi is standard at DC, Image and Dark Horse, Marvel prints at 400dpi (or did when I worked for them – if that's changed, someone please let me know). What do those terms mean?

TRIM: This is the final page size of the printed publication. The paper isn't cut to size before printing, it's done afterwards. Now, with mass produced offset printing, pages are trimmed at speed and in batches. This means that the trim on the digital file isn't EXACTLY where the trim will be in real life. Closely compare two copies of the same comic, where art extends to the edge of the page. You will more than likely see that they're not cut at exactly the same part of the artwork. This means that, when you're providing art that extends to the edges of the pages, say with a cover, it's not good enough to have art that just goes to the edge of the final printed page. The cut will more than likely not land exactly where you've drawn to. This is why we need the...

BLEED: The bleed is the area of art that extends beyond the final trimmed comic page. To compensate for shifts in the cutting process, it is 0.125 inches around the entire page. You’ll note in the image above that panel 3 extends past the edges of the trim to the bleed, so that it reaches the edges of where the page is cut.

LIVE AREA: This is the area of the page where it is safe to assume that wherever the trim cuts fall, everything inside this area will be safely on the printed page. Now, modern printing presses are MUCH better at this than in the past, so it's not as much of a worry as it once was. But all lettering, for example, should ideally fall within this area, at least 0.25 inches away from the trim.

DPI: Dots Per Inch. This is the “resolution” of a printed comic book page. Literally how many dots (pixels on screen) of ink there are in each inch of page. A DPI of 600 means there are 600 pixels across or down in every inch of printed paper. It's worth noting that if you're zoomed into 100% in Photoshop or whichever art program you're using, this will look massive on most screens. That's because your screen probably isn't 600dpi – at most, in modern screens, it's 300dpi, so your art will look about twice as big as printed at 100%. This is very important to note. Print requires MUCH higher resolution than screen. Your 72dpi image that looks great on your computer will print like blurry crap.

If your linework is aliased – meaning it's pure black and white pixels, with no grey edges – 600dpi is essential to print smoothly, with no jaggies (the visible square pixelated effect). If you use anti-aliased lines then 300 to 400dpi is OK, but still, the higher the better. This also applies to more painterly styles. I personally don't use anti-aliased lines when inking, for sharper images, and it can be easier for the colourist, but that's down to personal preference.

For digital artists, it's probably easiest to set up your page dimensions for the canvas you work on, so you don't have to do anything afterwards. Manga Studio/Clip Studio only goes to two digits after the decimal, so after drawing a page in MS and exporting it, it must be correctly sized in Photoshop using Canvas Size. For traditional artists, the standard board is 150% bigger than the printed page. An easy way to make the art the right size before you change the Canvas Size to the exact inch size in Photoshop is to scan at 400dpi, then use Image Size with “resample” unchecked to change the DPI to 600. This keeps the number of pixels in the scan the same, but tells the computer that they will print in a smaller space.

It's worth noting that many artists don't like to scan at this low a resolution, and prefer to scan at a much higher res then reduce the image size in Photoshop, to better control the quality of the scan.

File format: Pages should NOT be provided as jpegs or PDFs. Both these formats compress the artwork to reduce file size (PDFs can be set not to, but it can make the file size enormous). What this means is that the art is degraded, with artefacts appearing especially around the edges of big blocks of colour. JPEGs are fine for the web, as they reduce the file size for quicker downloading, but are not at all suitable for print. If you've got a painterly style, and your jpeg quality is set to maximum, you can juuuust about skirt this, but it's not preferable. Especially if they're not CMYK (see below).

Printers do often use PDFs for printing, but that is the final product, NOT the page you're providing for your colourist. If in doubt there, talk to your printer or publisher.

Your pages should be provided as CMYK files (Image>Mode in Photoshop). CMYK is the format used for offset printing, with each letter representing one of the four colours of ink used in the process. RGB is the format for screen work, with each letter representing the three colours of light used to make any screen colour. This is worth noting when you colour your own work too – some people colour in RGB because there are more effects available in Photoshop, but always have a CMYK preview window open so they can monitor how it will look when it is switched to CMYK for print. If you send off a RGB colour file, prepare to be disappointed in how it will print – inks just aren't capable of recreating some of the colours that a screen can support.

If you can – this is easy for people who work digitally, less so for traditional artists – separate out linework that you want coloured or have a special effect – rain, lightning, reflections, speed lines, explosions etc. This can be done either by having the lines a different colour in the file, or saving them as layers. Layers will increase the file size, but your colourist will be very grateful that you made their life easier.

The best format for providing linework is TIFF. When saving as a TIFF, check the “LZW compression” box. This will usually MASSIVELY reduce the file size, without affecting the quality of the image whatsoever. For “byte order”, select Macintosh. Why? I dunno, possibly because the publishing industry used to rely on Macs so heavily.

So, there you have it. It's all very easy once you grasp it, but you'd be surprised how many people haven't learned these specifications. Doing so will make the lives of your whole team easier – the colourist, the letterer, the production team – and your work will print beautifully.

Create Vector Image in Photoshop Guided Tutorial

Benefits of Working with Vector Image in Photoshop

In graphic designing as well as Vector Image in Photoshop, vector graphics and raster graphics determine how an image will appear. The former is known to give a smooth finish to an image while the latter will make it pixelated. Advanced designers always prefer to work with vector graphics. It has a lot of benefits when compared to raster graphics. Pixelated image is one of the biggest drawbacks of raster graphics. This also makes it difficult to zoom in the picture. The more you zoom or expand it, the more pixelated will it get. But when working with vector graphics, this problem is eliminated directly.

Vector and Raster also determine the overall quality of your graphics. So it important to make a smarter choice before you starts with designing. You have no time to waste and maybe, you need to design a lot of projects in one day. In the end, if you make a mistake with the picture quality, it is your loss. Here are three important things to know while working with graphics.

The Dimensions

Since the primary school day, the concept of drawing margins will never get obsolete. The reason to draw margins on four sides is not to keep the painting neat or clean. It instead specifies the dimensions and final area in which you are going to work. This is also the same for professional software.

Every designing requirement will come with a specific size. Don’t just start with a random layout. If you are designing for a poster, select the correct dimensions for the poster. Similarly, the process is also the same for other marketing materials such as banners, flyers, and postcards. You have the flexibility of choosing various dimensions. For example, you can choose a vertical orientation while still keeping the dimensions equal.

The Size and Resolution

The dimension of an image has a direct relation with its resolution. Hence, determining the correct resolution along with the image dimensions is equally important. But sometimes it is also calculated in inches or centimeters. The resolution, on the other hand, is calculated in DPI or Dots per Inch. Other units include pixels per inch and pixel per centimeter. All these are similar measurements for dots or pixel density.

The image dimension and resolution will affect its file size. This means, with a bigger dimensional value and higher resolution, the file size also increases. So, when designing images online you should find the right balance between dimension and resolution. This will determine the overall image quality and make it look good.

Raster Vs Vector Image in Photoshop

Now that you know about the correct file dimensions and resolution, learn about this third factor. This is another factor that affects image quality. As said before, vector graphics provide a smooth finish while raster graphics can give pixelated output. Depending on your project type, you need to choose the file format that works best. Often you can find hybrid file formats that are collaboratively made of vector and raster graphics.

vectoring in Photoshop

Advantages of Using Raster Graphics as Well as Vector Image in Photoshop

These Graphics come with simple data structures. This makes it simple to perform.

The technology and file format are comparatively cheaper than vector graphics.

The simulation process is simple. It’s because the cell has the same shape and size.

Each cell has a box of information. Hence the information does not collaborate or mix up with the other cells.

Raster graphics have tones of gradation.

If you use it with a PNG file format, it can appear on a transparent background too.

Most stock photo websites have a wide range of raster graphics.

What are Vector Graphics?

Vector graphics work with instructions based on mathematical expressions. These mathematical expressions instruct the software to draw lines, curves, points, and paths. Vectors do not have anything to do with pixels. Hence, they can be reshaped and resized without losing image quality. This quality also makes the Vector Image in Photoshop that is able to scale. Some of the commonly used vector drawing tools include Corel Draw, Adobe Illustrator and Inkscape. Most icons, logos, and illustrations are created with vector graphics.

Benefits of working with Vector Graphics

Easy to Resize Image

It is easy to resize an image with vector graphics. You can enlarge or reduce the image size, but you will not lose its quality. This option is very beneficial for professional designers. Often clients ask for different sizes of the same image. Instead of designing the images or logos, again and again, resizing the same image is more convenient.

Smaller file Size

Vector Images have a smaller file size. This is better than raster graphics. Expert designers need a lot of storage space for hundreds of designs. As these vector graphics use mathematical equations they do not need a lot of storage space. On the other hand, raster graphics come with heavy file size. This happens because they need to store data from thousands of pixels.

Multiple File Formats

This is another reason why vector graphics have become so popular. The World Wide Web Consortium has set SVG as the standard file format for all online vector images. But this is not the only one. The other vector supporting file formats include .odg, eps, .xml, and cgm. These files are often found in .pdf files. The common vector that enables software is Adobe Illustrator.

Different from Raster Graphics

The equations for both these types are graphics are not the same. Raster graphics are pixel-based while vector graphics are based on mathematical equations. The latter is easy to scale and does not lose image quality. Vector graphics can be converted to raster graphics easily. But this is not the same with raster graphics. Most raster graphics cannot be converted to vector.

Serves multiple Purposes

Vector graphics can help you in many ways. It has a lot of flexibility and you can design in any size. From small icons to large logos, everything is possible with vector graphics. Designs for infographics, computer fonts, and illustrations and on paper and clothes, vectors work everywhere.

Vector Images in Photoshop

Photoshop is one of the popular designing software that works with raster graphics. But do you know, you can still create vector graphics out of it? Although the method of working with vectors is different, you can still enjoy the benefits easily. It is important to note that the windows version of Photoshop is different from the MAC and smartphone versions. Here is how you can work with vectors in Photoshop’s Windows version.

Open Photoshop on your computer and start with a new image. Create the image for yourself so that you can test vectoring on it. Start with a small image instead of a large one. The small image will help you to enlarge later.

Select the vectoring creation tool. Check for any border color filled with black. After this proceed with a small vector circle and leave space for another shape of a similar size.

Use the pencil tool to modify the circle and size it well. Next to the other circle drop a point of drawing beside the second circle.

Now you have two separate circles. One is vector-based, while the other is raster-based.

Next, you have to enlarge the canvas size and then zoom in to notice the change of the circles and see how they get optimized to the new size.

Now you can reduce the canvas size down. Once again check for the difference in quality in the two pictures. Keep repeating this process.

Notice how the pixels in the raster graphics lose quality while the vector remained intact with the same aspect ratio.

With this simple test, you will understand how vectoring works in Photoshop too. It is a very easy and simple test. But for better application of vector graphics, choose to use Adobe Illustrator.

Use of Vector Graphics in Modern Design

You already know vector graphics provide scalable and high-quality images. It can not only conserve the file size but also make the design a lot more flexible. Hence it is the primary choice for cheap printing of any shape. The most common use of vector designing is for logo designing and creating infographics and illustrations. Modern designing involves designing in complex places. Here are some of the uses of vector graphics in modern printing.

T-shirt printing

Ever wondered how those lovely graphics come in your t-shirts? Well, this is part of modern designing. Since vector graphics are easy to scale, you can design easily for t-shirts. The designs are very flexible and are enlarged based on the t-shirt size. This way the resolution is not affected and the designs appear clear on the t-shirts.

Mug Printing

Mugs are printed on a completely different surface. But these designs do not have any relation with the printing process. The amazing designs you see in the colorful mugs are part of vector designing. Once again, it is easy to resize and typically the resolution also comes clearly.

Logos and Signs

Logos are important for any business. It is good to have flexibility with the logo design so that you can resize or modify it when required. Changing the complete logo now and then can ruin the logo design and even change it slightly. Signs, on the other hand, are visible in different places. They need to be clear and eye-catching. There is no pixelation concerned within the vector graphics, thus they’re straightforward to manage and print.

Infographics and Illustration

With vector graphics, you can work faster. Vector graphics also help business organizations in many ways. It can help to create a proper brand image. Infographics are important for any business; they are easy to spread in various social media platforms. With the help of vector graphics, you can create amazing infographics and illustrations. When using PowerPoint, you can easily work with vector graphics. Most infographic templates come with an EPS file; this file is familiar with vector graphics.

Conclusion

Usually, every designing software or file format will have advantages and disadvantages. It completely depends on the type of project you are working on. When you are working with digital images, it is better to work with raster images. This is because it can store accurate file information in various color tones. But when you are working with logos or illustrations it is excellent to work with vectors.

If you have any questions about this print, please use the “Ask a Question” button next to the price and we’ll get right back to you as soon as possible. There are a lot of advantages to self publishing over traditional publishing, To be a successful author, it needs hard work! Self publishing requires you to have knowledge of every aspect of the publishing process, like designing, formatting, and marketing. Platforms like Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing make self publishing accessible to everyone, but it can feel overwhelming to independent authors. What do you need to use Amazon KDP? What technical skills do we need to meet Amazon KDP requirements? How to promote our book? Here are seven tips and tricks to hack Amazon’s self publishing platform and be a successful author. 1. Make Your Book's Title and Description Perfect: Couples and Relationship guided A good Amazon book title and description are important for your book to rank well on Seo. Your book description gives readers a taste and overview of your writing skills and tells them exactly what to expect when they buy your journal or planner . Your journal title and description should look professional. A poorly written description have huge impact on sales. Run your blurb through a grammar checker to check for mistakes and readability. Aim for a genre-appropriate, specific set of rich keywords. Couples and Relationship guided We’ll talk more about keywords in the next section. Amazon will allow you to use HTML formatting on your descriptions, so get the benefit of this awesome feature. You will be able to organize your keywords. 2. Use long-tail keywords like Couples and Relationship guided. One of the most important aspects to getting ranked on Amazon self publishing is the seven keyword boxes. They allow you to add up to forty-nine characters. A keyword is a word or phrase that people type into the top search box on Amazon to find a specific journal or planner... You need to focus on specific long-tail keywords. Instead of a broad, short-tail keyword, you might enter Couples and Relationship guided (a specific long-tail keyword). You can research these using a keyword research tool like Google Keyword Planner Tool, hire an expert in KDP categories and keywords, or simply search for them manually by yourself. Look for keywords that give you only a few results, not thousands, to beat your competition. 3. Choose Extra Categories Amazon KDP has preset categories for books, and it’s hard to choose the best one for your work. When you upload your journal or planner interior, you can select two Amazon categories. Your book might fit into multiple categories. You can also increase your chances of being a bestseller in a category when you choose less competitive categories. A little secret : you can add additional categories with these simple tips : If you can call KDP customer service, KDP will allow you up to eight more categories, for a grand total of ten! 4. Purchase a High-Quality Designed Cover The first thing that Amazon visitors see is your book’s cover. A high quality cover can make a big difference and impact your sales numbers. There are a ton of elements that impact whether a book cover is engaging. Various classifications have different expectations. A basic cover does not take into account genre trends and expectations. A nonfiction book should not look like a kid's activity book or vice versa.

Unless you’re an experienced graphic designer, avoid using tools offered by Amazon. Find an experienced designer who is familiar with your theme and check their portfolio. Try to reach out to other authors for recommendations, or browse Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to find a freelance designer who works with other authors. 5. Emphasize covers and interior design. The quickest way to a one-star review is an ugly book cover or interior. When your print book format is a mess, Amazon's visitors will move on to the next competitor. Don’t gloss over this step. There is a lot of software, like Canva, Photoshop, or Illustrator, that allows you to format your book and make it look professional. You can also outsource your formatting to an expert. In our case, the Couples and Relationship guided is already formatted for KDP, so you will save a lot of time and money. 6. Adjust Prices for International Markets When you publish a journal or planner on Amazon KDP, make sure that you adjust the price accordingly .99 : This is a marketing psychology that works on any markets. If KDP adjusts the price automatically for other markets, You can manually change it to international prices, however. You can add a .99 to the end of each price for each currency. And keep your eyes on royalty rates. You should also monitor the pricing boundaries for 30% and 70% royalties for each currency. 7. Becoming an Affiliate for Your Own Book Promote affiliate links for your own book and earn 70% royalties! Use your Amazon affiliate link on social media, website links, and anywhere else you can think of. Your amazon affiliate link allows you to earn additional 4% on the selling price of your book. It seems like not much, but that additional 4% can add up quickly with enough sales. Keep in mind that you only get this income when someone buys through your affiliate Amazon link, not from Amazon's search box. Finally, make Amazon KDP your friend; Using tips and tricks like these can assist you in succeeding on Amazon KDP.

10 Photoshop Architectural Rendering Tips for Beginning Architects <a href="https://www.savidevelopers.com">Savi Developers</a>

Photoshop for architects is a powerful image editing software that allows transforming even bland photographs or illustrations into amazing architecture projects. You just need to learn the program’s most useful drawing and photo editing features and establish an effective work cycle to maximize your productivity.

The primary reason why Photoshop is the most popular software used by architects for picture editing is its user-friendly interface and thousands of video tutorials. PS allows you to change and improve existing architecture renders as well as create new ones. Even highly acclaimed visualization designers perform the majority of their work in Photoshop using rough 3D objects done in other programs as a foundation. Photoshop can be used for virtually everything: creating realistic property images from the ground up, retouching photos of completed projects, improving the line work, etc. Read more about how to use Photoshop for architecture renderings http://fixthephoto.com/blog/retouch-tips/how-to-use-photoshop-for-architectural-renderings.html efficiently.

If you’re only getting used to working with this software, here’s a list of 10 tips that will help you perform Photoshop architectural rendering better and faster.

Tip 1. SystematicWorkflow

Like other image editing programs, using Photoshop for architecture rendering gives the best results when you remain in full control of your project’s structure. When working, ensure that you can always move a couple of steps backward or forward without losing your progress. The key to maintaining such flexibility is employing masking and adjustment layers. Masking allows you to introduce small changes to specific areas of various layers rather than altering the entire picture.

Tip 2. Organize Your Project’s Layers

While it’s always better to have as few layers as possible, Photoshop architectural rendering files tend to end up complex and chaotic. The best way to organize them is to group them into folders based on their content. Typically, your file’s layer folders should include:

Base Files (line work, base rendering, Alpha, etc.)

Sky

Background (surrounding structures, real landscapes, etc.)

Ground Plane (roads, pavement, grass territories, etc.)

Interiors

Plants, People, and Transport

Visual Effects (color overlays, lens flares, etc.)

HDR/Filters

Also, give unique names to each layer to avoid figuring out what “Layer 3 copy” has on it or which folder it belongs to.

Tip 3. Make Use of Smart Objects

Did you ever experience the awkward feeling of adding a picture to the canvas only to have it pixelated after you have zoomed in? This problem is fixed by employing Smart Objects. They are perfect for Photoshop architecture projects since you can change their size, rotate or otherwise transform them without the quality loss, which is impossible to achieve with a rasterized picture. Smart Objects are also handy because they preserve any changes you make in Free Transform. This allows you to adjust or delete those changes at any stage of your project. You may create copies of Smart Objects and have them acting as instances. You can do that by selecting “New Smart Object” in the Copy menu of an existing one.

Tip 4. Hotkeys Can Save You Lots of Time

Photoshop rendering deals with a lot of clicking through menus, settings, and options. If you want to decrease the amount of time you spend on drop-down menus, it’s recommended to memorize the essential hotkeys so that you can instantly select various functions and activate tools. Here’s a list of hotkeys that are most frequently used for architectural renderings in Photoshop:

Flatten layers: MAC: Cmd+Alt+Shift+E WINDOWS: Ctrl+Alt+Shift+E

Invert selection: MAC: Cmd+Shift+I WINDOWS: Ctrl+Shift+I

New layer via cut: MAC: Cmd+Shift+J WINDOWS: Ctrl+Shift+J

Increase/decrease brush size: MAC: ]/[ WINDOWS: ]/[

Blending modes: MAC: Shift+plus(+) or minus(-) WINDOWS: Shift+plus(+) or minus(-)

Change canvas size: MAC: Cmd+Opt+C WINDOWS: Ctrl+Alt+C

Tip 5. Save Time on Color Sampling

Beginning designers who haven’t watched a single Photoshop architecture tutorial tend to waste their time by importing photographs into PS for the sole purpose of performing color sampling. A more efficient method of doing so is to simply choose the Eyedropper, click and hold the left mouse button, and move it to the color point of your item. It can be an opened picture, a web page, your desktop image, or anything else.

Tip 6. Protect Your Work

An important part of being a professional designer is sharing your work with potential clients. That’s why it’s important to protect the files so that they can’t be used without your authorization. While adding a watermark is a viable way out and isn’t the most elegant one. Instead, consider protecting your work with a password so that it can’t be printed out or edited. Simply save your files in PDF format and type in a password in the Security, Permissions section of the menu.

Tip 7. Search for Any Hidden Pixels

A large-scale architecture rendering Photoshop project usually deals with numerous layers, Smart Objects, and textures. With that much going around, it’s easy to miss pixels located outside of the canvas. If you want to see hidden pixels on all layers, go to the “Image” menu and select “Reveal All.” This will increase the size of the canvas to display all existing pixels.

Tips 8. Try Out Filters Before Applying Them

Adding a filter to a large picture is a memory-intensive process. If you want to avoid wasting time just to see how a bunch of filters would look like, it’s better to apply then only to a small part of your picture.

Tip 9.Maintain a Consistent Color Palette for Your Project

If your Photoshop architecture rendering project consists of several pictures, it’s crucial to have a consistent color palette so that it has a coherent, professional look. You can use the Match Color function located in the Image “Adjustments” menu. Just open the pictures you need to change and choose the image with the necessary colors in the Source drop-down menu. This will allow applying the color data from the source picture to the other one. Also, it’s possible to change the luminance and color intensity in the same menu.

Tip 10. Know When to Say “Enough!”

Photoshop architectural rendering consumes much time if you don’t have an established workflow. The ability to endlessly change and improve your work is both a blessing and a curse. To avoid trapping yourself in the endless photo editing cycle, it’s advised to establish a rough deadline for yourself so that you don’t waste time applying various cool filters and styles that you know you’ll never use. If you’re just beginning your architecture career, you can send your architecture renderings to fix the photo http://fixthephoto.com and receive professional Photoshop help easy and fast.

Following these simple tips, you can make your Photoshop architecture rendering much faster and efficient.

You can find a number of Deadpool coloring pages online ranging from the more simplistic to the intricate with detailed shading. In fact, younger boys will also find the baby Deadpool pages for coloring a fun addition to their printed sheets collection.

Quick Tips For Printing Coloring Pages

Most Deadpool coloring pages will contain a lot of lines and intricacy in a way, therefore, printing the highest resolution pages possible helps ensure coloring accuracy. This often means a PDF file format is recommended, but by no means is it a requirement. The next on your list should include a .jpeg file.

Coloring pages are exciting to start working on but do make sure that the ink is thoroughly dried. Though laser printers tend to dry the ink quickly as they come out from the machine, inkjet printers need 30 minutes. This will prevent color bleeding and mixing with the black ink.

Paper plays an important role in the quality of the printed images that are reproduced physically. Young kids that don’t wish to keep their coloring pages or are currently experimenting can use simple white copy paper. However, those that like different coloring mediums i.e. watercolor or marker should opt for a 65 lb white cardstock. That enables heavy use and makes the product ready for permanent display.

Lastly, if you have printed your Deadpool coloring pages using an inkjet printer, you need to understand that your ink is purely water-based. That means getting exposed to watercolors or wet products such as markers may cause smudging or extensive bleeding. In short, colored pencils or crayons are the best mediums to use in these instances.

Instead of focusing on just the colors themselves and coloring in blank areas, take into consideration the details that you could include within your coloring. For example, try highlighting Deadpool’s weapons by shading the hues or blending the colors on his mercenary uniform.

2. Opt For Quality Coloring Products

If you enjoy coloring on occasion, basic Crayola coloring products are more than adequate. However, if you seriously want to advance your coloring, choose quality watercolors, Copic markers or colored pencils. These may require an upfront investment, but they will bring any comic book hero to life.

3. Choose Simple Or Detailed Coloring Pages

The basic shape of Deadpool remains the same no matter the artist, but a coloring page with more detail allows for an increase in creativity. In short, find the rendition that resonates with your personal coloring tastes.

4. Develop Your Own Coloring Style

When you do a simple search online for completed coloring pages, you often see that the artist infused their own coloring style into the finished piece. Deadpool coloring pages are the perfect practice sheets. As the tiny details are minimized, you have a large blank canvas to work with. In fact, this is a good place to start learning how to shade accurately.

5. Your Colors Don’t Have To Be Accurate

Deadpool’s fans are aware of the iconic black and red mercenary outfit, but coloring pages are meant to let your imagination soar. You may certainly wish to stick to the given colors for simplicity’s sake. However, if you want to experiment, let your imagination determine a new color scheme.

6. Mix Your Mediums

The beautiful aspect of printing your own Deadpool coloring pages is your ability to determine the thickness of the paper that’s right for your needs. By doing so, you can mix your mediums and experiment with a different coloring approach. For example, watercolors and pastels pair perfectly as do colored pencils and gel pens.

Deadpool is a beloved Marvel character that captures the imagination. Adults, teens and young kids alike find him a flashy yet interesting addition to Marvel. The Internet allows all artists and non-artists the ability to develop their own coloring techniques and style, but when working with a subject you love, you become even more artistic. Remember: there is no right or wrong way to color anything, just like there is no right or wrong way to draw from your imagination!

Design Tips to Achieve the Best Results and Save Money in the Process

Here you will find a number of helpful tips to enable you to present your artwork which is print ready and eliminate expensive mistakes which many printers will charge for:

In these difficult financial times, small companies and individuals in particular are trying to save money by doing their own graphic design without knowing enough to be able to present an acceptable image to their printers. Sometimes this proves to be a false economy due to changes that are necessary in order to have their job printed.

1. Check the specifications before starting the artwork creation. Set up the canvas, which is simply the area you are using for the design, ensuring you are using the correct dimensions to the specification supplied. This will show the length of each edge or a ‘to scale’ template which will enable you to lay out your graphics. It is most important that you follow the exact requirements of the printer you are going to use as many use different parameters. Although some products such as CD Jewel Case Booklets vary little it is still advisable to stick to the script. Even with an A4 Poster which is unlikely to cause any confusion.

2. Bleeding Out is one of the most likely problems that people get wrong. All artwork for print must include an extra 3mm of the background on all outer edges. Therefore, if the total finished size is 210mm x 148mm which is the size of an A5 Booklet for instance. You need to add 3mm extra background on each edge resulting in the full dimensions of the artwork being 216mm x 154mm. Also include crop marks indicating where the actual cut line is. This always true whether using Digital Printing or any other form of printing.

3. Keep relevant data away from the edge by ensuring it is at least 3mm away from the actual cutting line within a safety margin. So a total of at least 6mm away from the very edge of the graphic design. This is because there is always the possibility of small shifts when printing which is why the bleed area is necessary. Furthermore, this could affect both edges so you could find that some of the area inside the cut on one side will be lost as more bleed zone comes onto the finished unit. It doesn’t matter if it is for brochures, booklets, leaflets, CD packaging or whatever always stick to these principles.

4. If in doubt create a PDF rather than saving to JPEG to save your work as most programmes are capable of outputting files of this type. This, along with the quality aspect makes it much easier to get your crop marks added prior to production. If the whole process can be designed inside Adobe Acrobat for instance, this is most likely to save you money too. There are many software packages around that are used for graphic design but not all are truly suitable. Some will not let you add crop marks or registration marks showing the cut line but you can overcome this by ensuring you have compensated for the bleed and keeping all elements far enough away from the edge as stated earlier.

One thing to remember is that it is impossible for any printer to help you improve your images if it is presented in poor quality and using an unreliable or inadequate software package like freeware. Sometimes it is worth getting the design professionally completed, especially if there are branding issues and particularly for a logo design. In the long run, if you do not have sufficient creative design skills and are conversant with the software you are using you will finish up with more problems which will result in additional costs and time wasted.

There are a lot of advantages to self publishing over traditional publishing, To be a successful author, it needs hard work! Self publishing requires you to have knowledge of every aspect of the publishing process, like designing, formatting, and marketing. Platforms like Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing make self publishing accessible to everyone, but it can feel overwhelming to independent authors. What do you need to use Amazon KDP? What technical skills do we need to meet Amazon KDP requirements? How to promote our book? Here are seven tips and tricks to hack Amazon’s self publishing platform and be a successful author. 1. Make Your Book's Title and Description Perfect: Childhood Reflection guided journal A good Amazon book title and description are important for your book to rank well on Seo. Your book description gives readers a taste and overview of your writing skills and tells them exactly what to expect when they buy your journal or planner . Your journal title and description should look professional. A poorly written description have huge impact on sales. Run your blurb through a grammar checker to check for mistakes and readability. Aim for a genre-appropriate, specific set of rich keywords. Childhood Reflection guided journal We’ll talk more about keywords in the next section. Amazon will allow you to use HTML formatting on your descriptions, so get the benefit of this awesome feature. You will be able to organize your keywords. 2. Use long-tail keywords like Childhood Reflection guided journal. One of the most important aspects to getting ranked on Amazon self publishing is the seven keyword boxes. They allow you to add up to forty-nine characters. A keyword is a word or phrase that people type into the top search box on Amazon to find a specific journal or planner... You need to focus on specific long-tail keywords. Instead of a broad, short-tail keyword, you might enter Childhood Reflection guided journal (a specific long-tail keyword). You can research these using a keyword research tool like Google Keyword Planner Tool, hire an expert in KDP categories and keywords, or simply search for them manually by yourself. Look for keywords that give you only a few results, not thousands, to beat your competition. 3. Choose Extra Categories Amazon KDP has preset categories for books, and it’s hard to choose the best one for your work. When you upload your journal or planner interior, you can select two Amazon categories. Your book might fit into multiple categories. You can also increase your chances of being a bestseller in a category when you choose less competitive categories. A little secret : you can add additional categories with these simple tips : If you can call KDP customer service, KDP will allow you up to eight more categories, for a grand total of ten! 4. Purchase a High-Quality Designed Cover The first thing that Amazon visitors see is your book’s cover. A high quality cover can make a big difference and impact your sales numbers. There are a ton of elements that impact whether a book cover is engaging. Various classifications have different expectations. A basic cover does not take into account genre trends and expectations. A nonfiction book should not look like a kid's activity book or vice versa.

Unless you’re an experienced graphic designer, avoid using tools offered by Amazon. Find an experienced designer who is familiar with your theme and check their portfolio. Try to reach out to other authors for recommendations, or browse Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to find a freelance designer who works with other authors. 5. Emphasize covers and interior design. The quickest way to a one-star review is an ugly book cover or interior. When your print book format is a mess, Amazon's visitors will move on to the next competitor. Don’t gloss over this step. There is a lot of software, like Canva, Photoshop, or Illustrator, that allows you to format your book and make it look professional. You can also outsource your formatting to an expert. In our case, the Childhood Reflection guided journal is already formatted for KDP, so you will save a lot of time and money. 6. Adjust Prices for International Markets When you publish a journal or planner on Amazon KDP, make sure that you adjust the price accordingly .99 : This is a marketing psychology that works on any markets. If KDP adjusts the price automatically for other markets, You can manually change it to international prices, however. You can add a .99 to the end of each price for each currency. And keep your eyes on royalty rates. You should also monitor the pricing boundaries for 30% and 70% royalties for each currency. 7. Becoming an Affiliate for Your Own Book Promote affiliate links for your own book and earn 70% royalties! Use your Amazon affiliate link on social media, website links, and anywhere else you can think of. Your amazon affiliate link allows you to earn additional 4% on the selling price of your book. It seems like not much, but that additional 4% can add up quickly with enough sales. Keep in mind that you only get this income when someone buys through your affiliate Amazon link, not from Amazon's search box. Finally, make Amazon KDP your friend; Using tips and tricks like these can assist you in succeeding on Amazon KDP.

Create Vector Image in Photoshop Guided Tutorial

Benefits of Working with Vector Image in Photoshop

The Dimensions

The Size and Resolution

Raster Vs Vector Image in Photoshop

vectoring in Photoshop

Advantages of Using Raster Graphics as Well as Vector Image in Photoshop

These Graphics come with simple data structures. This makes it simple to perform.

The technology and file format are comparatively cheaper than vector graphics.

The simulation process is simple. It’s because the cell has the same shape and size.

Each cell has a box of information. Hence the information does not collaborate or mix up with the other cells.

Raster graphics have tones of gradation.

If you use it with a PNG file format, it can appear on a transparent background too.

Most stock photo websites have a wide range of raster graphics.

What are Vector Graphics?

Benefits of working with Vector Graphics

Easy to Resize Image

Smaller file Size

Multiple File Formats

Different from Raster Graphics

Serves multiple Purposes

Vector Images in Photoshop

Select the vectoring creation tool. Check for any border color filled with black. After this proceed with a small vector circle and leave space for another shape of a similar size.

Use the pencil tool to modify the circle and size it well. Next to the other circle drop a point of drawing beside the second circle.

Now you have two separate circles. One is vector-based, while the other is raster-based.

Next, you have to enlarge the canvas size and then zoom in to notice the change of the circles and see how they get optimized to the new size.

Now you can reduce the canvas size down. Once again check for the difference in quality in the two pictures. Keep repeating this process.

Notice how the pixels in the raster graphics lose quality while the vector remained intact with the same aspect ratio.

With this simple test, you will understand how vectoring works in Photoshop too. It is a very easy and simple test. But for better application of vector graphics, choose to use Adobe Illustrator.
