If I wanted to design a logo for web and print, can I do all this in Photoshop or do I need to utilise another program for print?

Thanks,

PS would do great. But you have to make two separate pics, on for web on 72dpi and one for print on 300 dpi
You can make the 300dpi first and shrink it to 72 dpi(dots per inch). If you make an 72dpi image first and blow it up you get a lot interpolated pixels and this will be ugly once printed.

take a look at those threads:

First it?s up to you what you want to do with you logo. Is it going on 72/92 dpi stuff like web sites, interactive CD ROM or 300dpi print work, like letterheads, forms, ect?

Yes you can do it in photoshop, following Rinswind steps (one at 72 dpi and one at 300dpi), but if you want a hassle free logo, that you can re-size up and down with out the major quality loss, a vector program like Illustrator, freehand or other vector creation software will be better for you. I know photoshop has some vector support, but not as better as Illustrator or Freehand.

So it?s up to you and what you want out of it.

Why do people make it tough?

Yes you can use PS.

No you don't need to make two copies.

Yes using paths and shapes would be a good idea, because when you downsize their vector quality will stop them from having image loss.

No you shouldn't fret about the web graphics first.

Yes using Illustrator would be great, but far from necessary.


And there ya go. Using 300 dpi resolution is pretty standard...and even that's not necessary depending on the quality of the printer you'll be using. The rule of thumb is twice the number of lines that your printer will output. But that's that. Cut...dried
