When creating graphics you should keep them in a format this readable by all of your graphics programs and is scalable. For example all of my imagery is created and saved in Postscript format (.ps). This format can be resized up and down without compromising the image. If I need the image for a website I open up the .PS format file and then save it as a .png/.jpg/.gif and in whatever size/resolution I need.
<br><br>If you create your image in a non-scalable format then you are stuck with whatever resolution you create it in as the maximum size. I re-create a lot of old computer bitmap images which by nature are pixelated. I draw them on pixel at a time but same it in a scalable format. This means I can take the base image of 8x8 pixels and scale to 8000x8000 and it looks the same (just larger).

Working on logos and such. (Hmmm, does reading books on letterheads and logos<br>rather than working on the content of my ever-promised business site and some<br>sample sites indicate something? Learning a lot about how to save money if using
<br>1980's printing technology.)<br><br>1. Is there a reliable and easy way to do a scalable graphic that keeps smooth<br>curves regardless of size? Or is it best to do it up in a draw program and just<br>save a couple of bitmaps at different sizes?
<br><br>2. Is there a way to embed a font in a webpage or should I just include it in<br>the bitmap from 1? How much bandwidth would this eat?<br><br>Thanks in advance,<br><br>Sandy<br><br><br><br>_______________________________________________
