Let's convert your design into a usable file

Logo dosyaları

For vector drawing, SVG and print outputs, I check the structure of the existing file.

Baskı hazırlığı

I examine size, bleed, image resolution and fonts according to the manufacturer's specifications.

Güncelleme

I determine the impact of text, product, size or page changes on the current design.

Where does preparing the design for printing begin?

Print-ready design is a file that complies with the manufacturer's technical specifications. Just looking right on the screen is not enough. I learn the final size, cutting template, color expectations and materials to be used for printing file editing. It is not possible to convert an incomplete or low-resolution image into real detail by enlarging the file.

In case of requests to prepare a Canva design for printing or Photoshop design editing, I check the editability of the file. If the source is not available, re-preparation may be required. During label sizing and design sizing, it is necessary to maintain text readability rather than just changing the external size.

Logo redraw and vector files

Logo vector artwork recreates the existing sign; logo refresh changes its appearance. We first determine which operation is requested when requesting to convert the logo to vector. For logo file editing and logo SVG preparation, I determine the versions to be used in print or on the web.

Within the scope of vector drawing service, it is important how clear the source image is. For specific program-related requests, such as Corel drawing service, compatibility cannot be promised without reviewing the file version and delivery format. You must have the rights to use the original design.

PDF catalog editing and renewing existing design

If there is an editable source file for PDF catalog editing, we can make text and product changes more controlled. If there is only a PDF, fonts, images and page elements may not be preserved. We first evaluate a sample page and compare the cost of correction and redesign.

Share a sample of the file and the list of changes when contacting Selçuk Aker. The manufacturer's proofing and technical approval must also be obtained before final printing.

Frequently asked questions about file editing

Can every PDF be edited?

No. Fonts, layers and the structure of images are different. Without seeing the file, I cannot promise editability or complete recovery of the source file.

Is redrawing the existing logo a new logo design?

No. Redrawing establishes the current format in the available file. Changing the visual identity is a separate design decision.

Do you also do the printing?

I offer design and technical file preparation. Print production, production approval of material selection and physical proofing are carried out separately by the printing house.
