This month's rant is rather short. A simple question, really. One that I've always asked myself, which is odd because if I didn't know it the first time around, why would I expect myself to know it another time?
Okay. We've all seen the signs that say: ATTORNEY at LAW
Now, they say there are no stupid questions, so here it goes - can someone be an attorney at anything else besides law?
Attorney at Sport-Fishing?
Attorney at Pipefitting?
Just wondering?

DESIGNINGtip - RESOLUTION

This month's design tip has to do with images. Specifically, the resolution of images. The basic rules to follow are these:
• Print jobs: the image should be 300dpi (dots per inch)
• Web jobs: images should be 72dpi


The best bet is to start with images at the highest resolution, as you can always decrease the resolution for the web. If the images start out at a low resolution, you can't really increase the dpi without compromising clarity.
