Hello everyone!
I have created an A4 landscape Portfolio in Illustrator CC to send as PDF to clients with 18 pages total. File is 10 MG, too big to send to clients, I need real advice...
I have uploaded this file to the website Issuu so you can get a closer idea: http://issuu.com/dolorequena/docs/porfolio_2013
My original file use to weight more than 20MG, but I reduce the size by saving the artwork in Photoshop CC as images, so I made sure this settings were set:
All, 150 dpi
RGB mode.
JPG format
(take a look at the image, and feel free to advice)
Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.
Then I went back to my Illutrator CC file and I placed all the images...
in all honest, it took a while till I made sure it all layed out almost perfectl and had to solve other minor issues.
The question is... How would you have created your PDF portfolio to send to clients or for print?
Do you start by schetching, like I did? and use In-Design instead of Illustrator?
Can you specify as detail as possible?
......
Also recently I made a small presentation in Illutrator CC for a client, file is 17MG if I Zip it, it becomes 14MG.
In this case, for this type of presentation I use PNG images with transparecy, some vector illustrations with shadows... I know this increases the size, but how do you get a good resolution?
I saved the file as High Quality Print. But when I tried sending the file it took ages, and it wasnt even sent. What is the max recommended weight of file?
Be as open as possible, I am happy to hear all construcctive criticism.
Thank you for your time,
