RE: Resend: dealing with designers

Ann,
I do both print and web design.  I do know that some designers are very
touchy when it comes to their work.  Your designer needs to realize that
these are two different worlds.  They can't have the quality in a web
photo that they would in print (well I guess they could if the user
wants to wait about 1 hour for a photo).  

You can make the web match the print material, but the resolution will
not be the same.  I can't show you my print material, but we have two
websites from our print material: http://www.roswellincident.us (still
under construction) and http://www.experienceroswell.com .  They really
don't even rival the print material, but the latter site contains all of
the same information.  I wasn't worried so much about design for that
one as just getting the content out.

Good luck!
Juliana

Maybe I could talk the Marketing Director into ASCII art, and just stick
with plain-text e-mail... 

;-)

That might be worth a try, but there's the bandwidth to consider.

Arrrggghhh! I should never have pointed out to them that this was
possible!
