A discussion of the differences between digital printing, print on demand services, direct-to-garment printing and traditional screen printing services. I cover how the printing methods affect the cartoon logo I create for you, and why you might want to choose a certain style of art depending on the primary method you intend to use the final artwork.

A brief discussion of CMYK (printed) and RGB (web/computer screen) color spaces, including why the colors you see on the computer monitor don’t look as bright when the logo is printed. I also touch on halftones.

An in-depth, and hopefully not too boring discussion on what the vector art digital format is, and why it’s important for your cartoon logo to be created as vector art. I discuss the differences between vector art and raster art (also known as bitmap or pixel art).

You will learn why the resolution-independent format of vector art is far more ideal when it comes to logo illustrations.

You can read up further on this topic over at my vector art info and overview page. It also has some images with examples and comparisons of both types of digital art.
