Okay, we're back. And we're going to continue bringing our photo. So we're gonna click on the document, go to File place. We're going to find our image and I'll have a package of resources for you. Under the your project section, either it will be in one zip file or they'll be separate files. They'll be images and copy and a couple of logos.
So we're going to grab this Catalina Island image, say open and it loads it up into your cursor and you just click on the document and drop it in So we've run the photo. And remember we talked about the Direct Selection tool and the other selection tool, the selection tool that selects everything will grab this blue box and move the whole image around. But if we select the Rex, the Direct Selection tool, you see how the box turns orange, that lets us move the image around within the box. So, we're going to do command Z, go back to where we were. And we're going to make the original full box the size of our guidelines. That eighth of an inch guide we put all around the page.
Okay, we're going to bring those in and if you press Command and the plus sign that will make your image larger on the page. And remember, you hit the spacebar, it turns to the hand and you can move it around. Move the page around. So that looks pretty good. And I can grab my direct selection tool. Select the image inside the box and move it around until I think it looks like it's in a pretty good place.
Remember, I need some room for my copy and, and logo at the bottom. So for now, I think we're just going to leave it this way, and we'll have to make adjustments later. So one thing I want to tell you about the image, the image should be a JPEG. And when you're going to print an add your images have to be at least 150 dots per inch. That's 100 50 dpi. In order to check our size of the that's the size of the image in order to confirm it, we're going to select the image, open our links palette by clicking on the links.
And we're going to just grab this up here in the tab and bring it up so that we can open it all the way. If you're not seeing this part down here, you can drag it you press this little arrow here, and you can drag this up or down to make sure everything's showing. So this is giving us all the information about this image. So we make sure it's selected. This is the name of the image, it's linked, because our link here is closed. If the image were not connecting with the document, maybe it got moved after we created the document, this link would be broken and we'd have to go and find it again.
But we're in good shape here. So this is working. The size we have a jpg, our color space is RGB, which is red, green and blue, which is a digital color space. And that's fine if you're going to upload your file to the web or use it in some other digital way. But we're going to print our image. So we're going to leave it and we'll I think we can convert it when we output the PDF at the end of the class.
But mainly, I wanted to show you what the dots per inch are pixels per inch, PPI and DPI basically are the same thing. So our actual size of our image is 72 pixels per inch. But because of the size, we're using it, we're not using it at its full size, it's reduced somewhat to fit into our box and on our page. So the effective pixels per inch is 288. And that's over 150 pixels. pixels per inch.
So we're in good shape, the image is large enough, and it should print really clearly, when we output our ad, or have it put printed in the magazine or publication or flyer or whatever we're designing this for. So that's good. And we're going to, so we're going to close close out or just drag it back into the palettes, and we're going to import our logo, so we go to File, Place and we find our logo. So I have two versions of the logo here. And they're both JPEGs. And once a high resolution JPEG, which means that it has those pixels per inch we were talking about or DPI or PPI and we have a lower resolution, we're going to bring them both in so I'm going to pick the lower resolution first.
So that you can compare and then I'm going to import the other one. So we'll go back up to File place. And we'll grab the high res version. See the difference? It's not perfect, but it's much clearer on the right hand side. And actually, most of the time when you use a logo, you won't be using a JPEG you'll be using and a.ai or a dot GPS, which are both Illustrator files.
And those files are not created with pixels. Those are drawings that are created with points. So the computer actually draws out, point by point, each shape of that character, each character, each letter, each element in the art and that's a more effective way of producing a logo. And when you have a, that's called vector, and when you have a vector and a vector file, it can be used at any size, it can be blown up to put on the side of a building and can be made as small as you need to to make a tiny little icon for a website. So that's more desirable way, but sometimes you're just going to get JPEGs from the client. So one way, we're going to check the size of our JPEGs.
Again, we're not of course not going to use our logo quite this large. So let's put it in place where I think we're going to use it. Well, first, let's look at the size. Okay, we'll take the low res and we'll open our links palette again. That's we have the right file picked it CNY Okay, that's good. We're ready for print.
The actual pixels per inch or 72. But you see the effective because of the size we're using. It's 61. That's way too low. Remember We have to be at one to 250 at least. So if we brought this down quite a bit and if you hold down Option Shift and grab a corner, you can rescale the box and it will scale also what's in the box and it will scale it proportionately.
So that's 165 effective pixels per inch. So this is the size I'd have to use it for to work in my print file. That's way too small. So that file is not going to work. We're going to delete it. And we'll go to this file.
I'm going to put it where I want it. I think I want it here. I want to keep it within this margin does half inch margin we created that was to keep our copy and are our elements in inside of that parameter. So I'm going to reduce that. Remember, grab the cups, I'm sorry, the Command Shift and grab the corner. And that's maybe a little bit too small.
Make it tiny bit larger. Okay, that's probably good enough. I'm gonna move it also. So that I'm utilizing all of my real estate here I want, I want it to be within that red mark. hot pink line of our half inch margin, but I can move it to where my, the edge of my type fits right in there and gives us a little bit more space. Okay, and then.
Then I'm going to have, then we're going to work on type. I think our photos going to have to be reduced, but we're going to wait until we get everything in here. So, we'll come back to that in the next video. Thank you
