What are the typical problems with client-supplied PC or Mac graphics files?
Common problems with supplied files from amateur or part-time designers, typically involve file and font incompatibilities, missing bleed and crop/fold/perf marks and poor color matching, (due to improper monitor calibration and a general lack of understanding of the CMYK process) which means the final output can vary DRAMATICALLY from what you see on your monitor. If you have never done this before, your CD or DVD cover isn’t a great place to experiment. Not everyone who owns a computer is a graphic designer! Summit Sound designs music product covers every day, and our professional staff can provide all related services with no hassles and guarantee “major label quality” results. To avoid extra cost and needless work, before beginning any “DIY” cover design work, be sure to call and speak with one of our consultants to ensure that you are taking the best approach.
