The most common differents between 300 PPI and 72 PPI is that in the design world;72 pixels per inch (PPI) is the standard resolution for online images, while 300 PPI is the standard for high-quality print images. usually 72 PPI: used for web images and screen-oriented designs;Has faster loading times because of the less megabytes it requires; Has smaller file sizes Is a common standard for web due to its faster load times.300 PPI :Used for print images Ensures crisp details, smooth color transitions and lifelike images; Is the sweet spot for producing clear, detailed printed outputs; Is considered to be a high quality photo for print ;Is recommended for small format jobs such as brochures or booklets. another human to be considered is the human eyes perception of the amount of PPIs. A 72 PPI image looks worse than a 300 PPI image to the human eye because a lower PPI means each pixel takes up more space on the screen, resulting in visible pixelation and a less sharp image, while a higher PPI like 300 has smaller, denser pixels that appear smoother and more detailed when viewed closely, giving it the life like feel.

Understanding the importance of print production is crucial for a graphic designer working on print projects because it allows designers to create designs that are not only visually appealing but also technically feasible to print, ensuring the final product accurately reflects their intended design and communicates the message effectively for example the tone/mood of the design to affect the consumers. Also it ensures their designs accurate translation from the digital screen to physical printed materials, which helps insure the maximum the visual impact in order to attract the consumers for increase profits. and print projects need a higher resolution (300 DPI) compared to digital designs, which are often created at 72 DPI. This ensures that images and graphics look crisp and clear when printed, avoiding pixelation or blurriness which is more visually appealing for consumer attracting more buyers.

For web designers, knowing the difference between 300 PPI and 72 PPI is important to make websites look good and load quickly. 300 PPI is used for printing because it provides high-quality, detailed images. However, these images are usually too large for websites, making the pages load slowly. Slow loading can frustrate users.On the other hand, 72 PPI is the standard for web images. These images have a smaller file size, which helps the website load faster and gives users a better experience. But, with more people using devices with high-resolution screens, like Retina displays, 72 PPI images can appear blurry. To fix this, web designers use higher resolution images (like 150 PPI or 200 PPI) for screens with better quality. They also use responsive design, which helps the website show the right image size depending on the user's device. By using the right image resolution, designers ensure that the website looks sharp and loads quickly on all devices. This creates a better experience for visitors and helps the website perform well on search engines.

New information which was not included within the lecture is that "300 DPI" refers to a high print resolution, usually used for professional-quality images that are meant to be printed. This ensures the image looks sharp and detailed when printed on things like posters or brochures. DPI (dots per inch) measures how many ink dots the printer can put on paper, so the higher the DPI (like 300), the more detail you'll get, which is why it's important for print so DPI is a new thing i found out . On the other hand, Many people think 72 PPI is the standard/normal for all screens, but that's mostly a myth. The myth of the 72 PPI standard came from older computer screens, but nowadays, with the technological innovations most devices like smartphones and modern monitors have much higher pixel densities. So, the PPI setting in an image file doesn’t really affect how it looks on most screens anymore. But for printing, 300 DPI is necessary to keep images looking sharp and detailed.

self-portrait in gray and colored

Image
  My experience and process about the project " self-portrait in gray" was very interesting because it take a very long time to layer the works ands took me some thing of how am gonna execute the project, and there were plenty of challenges on the way in order to finish this project.The process of creating this project is not simple at all, it took me  a lot of time, first i had to take a picture in photoshop and turn it gray and than i use 6 layers so 6 different colors of grey to create the picture, but a challenge i encounter was the crazy amounts of layer and confusing, so i had to restart because the finish project of my old one was not that pretty because there was lot of white spots and i did think that was visually appealing, so i restarted and took my time with the pen tool using 200% zoom for a detailed look i traced all the lines and filled in the colors the hardest part of the project was the glasses it was hard to fill them.and i work from the outside to inside l...

Image File Formats

JPG is one of the most common image formats, widely used for photos and web images. It uses lossy compression , meaning some image quality is sacrificed to reduce file size, which works well for images like photographs where smaller files are important. PNG is a lossless format, meaning it keeps all the image details intact. It’s perfect for images that need transparency (like logos) or for any images that require sharp details, like icons or graphics. GIF is great for animations and simple graphics. It supports only 256 colors , so it’s not the best for detailed images but works well for things like small animations and web graphics with fewer colors. BMP is an older image format, and it’s uncompressed , meaning the files are large. It’s not commonly used today, but it was once standard on Windows systems for basic images. PSD is Adobe Photoshop’s native format, keeping all your layers, masks, and effects intact. It’s perfect for working on complex designs or photos where you wa...
