Scribble Font Final Specs

Final file format and size. Handed in no later than Tues. Sept. 14th to the Turnstile2 server. Make a folder with your name, and name each file with your last name someplace in the title

Scan your letters as:
  • 8-bit
  • grayscale
  • 300 dpi when sized to 4.25 inches wide x 5.5 inches high
Use those scans and build an A-Z alphabet sheet with 1/4 - 1/2 inch border on all of them:
  1. landscape - 17 inches wide x 11 inches high
  2. portrait - 8.5 inches wide x 11 inches high
  3. square - 9 inches square
  4. Format the three above as High Quality Print PDFs, and hand in the three separate PDFs.
All of the above will be handed in:
  • individual TIFFs for lowercase (26) and uppercase (26) (52 in all, but designers who did theirs in Illustrator as outlined vectors do not need to submit these);
  • and PDF layouts (six in all); uppercase (landscape, portrait, square); and lowercase (landscape, portrait, square).
How to name your files: lastname_project_format.FileType
