Locating the Source of a Stock Image

Need to find the origin of an image? Try dragging and dropping the photo into Google Image search. You can do this using Google Chrome and you’ll discover all the places the image exists on the web and you’ll likely find the creator of the image pretty quickly. If you’re not using Google Chrome, and your browser can’t drag and drop, you can try pasting an image URL or uploading the image right into the Google image search bar.

Economizing your Production Costs on Posters

When requesting poster production, instead of asking for multiple file versions of your one poster design at various sizes, consider moving to a common build. Request that your poster artwork be built to 12 x 18″ at 600dpi and you will receive a single art file that your printer will be able to scale proportionally to output at 12 x 18″ at 600dpi, plus 18 x 27″ at 450 dpi AND 24 x 36″ at 300dpi. One source file = three output options. You can stretch your marketing budget even farther by outputing the 12 x 18″ version on a digital press!

Tip from the Web Team

shutterstockWhen creating a Web page, populate the TITLE field with an accurate description of the page content. That description will be what Google uses to find your page. Avoid “cute” or humorous titles, as Google does not understand cute or comedians.
