so, do you have the image on a disk? A photograph? Let''s say that it is Great Aunt Edna''s 90th birthday. What better way to show you care than to give her a life-size printout of herself! To ensure that every wrinkle prints out clean and crisp, we need the full-size image resolution to be 50 dpi (Dots Per Inch). That means that when we blow up Aunt Edna''s best mug shot from a 3"w x 5"h photo to a 36"w x 60"h banner the scan has to be done at 600 dpi. The nifty little equation we use for figuring this out requires some algebra skills on your part but works wonders when trying to determine the scan resolution of your image. Photographic Prints and Negatives: How photographs and negatives scan depends on the quality of the original. If the image is blurry there is little that can be done to improve the sharpness. If the photograph is too dark or too light, or the color is not great, the scan can be manipulated to some extent and improvements can be made. A negative will always contain more detail in the shadow and highlight areas than a photograph produced from it. Whenever possible, please provide the negative along with a photographic print that appears less than perfect. Transparencies: 35mm slides, 2 1/4", 4" x 5" and

Single messages, simple words, and direct appeals keep the big banner accessible to the most causal passer-by. In a car, a driver or a passenger may zip by and still catch the new sale, the grand opening, or the brand-of-the-month. Exclamation point addicts can have a field day with big banners. Big banners are colorful. They offer a wonderful chance to jazz up a dull brick building or an aging structure. Colors rule in banners. They are king in big banners. The goal is to attract attention. They even generate excitement. Color is the key. Use a big banner''s color to contrast with the businesses usual color schemes. Use colors to show change as well as having the banner announce change in its lettering. Big banners are promotional. As a new addition to the visual landscape, they are by their very nature a demonstration of something new. The bigger the new banner the bigger the sense of promotion. Bigger is louder.
