I have been working with my client to get t-shirts screen printed with the new branding. I converted the multi-colored logo into a single color version for this purpose. The client sent me some images she created in Photoshop, asking if I could convert them into “vector” artwork. This is a good example of trying to do your best what you are given. These files were very small and difficult to live trace. For one of them there was a QR Code included. I don’t want to have to trace this since the code needs to be exact for the link to work. So I have requested the original artwork to recreate the piece, instead of live tracing.
My client did ask to know how this process was done. So it’s nice to know that I can educate her for future projects to either do on her own or working with other professionals.

I really like what you’ve done with the logo. I looked back at the full color logo & now the single color version, & I think it will look great on a t-shirt. I actually just had a very similar experience as you with my client not knowing what a vector image was or how it’s created. This wasn’t for anything to do with my project, but my client was told by a printer that they need a vector image, & she, having no idea what that meant, had to call me & ask me for it. It felt good being able to explain what a vector vs. a bitmap image is & why the printer needed the vector.
It’s always nice when you’re able to educate a client on a process you use to create something for them, and is helps them out greatly in anything they want to have done in the future to know exactly what needs to be done to reach that point so they know exactly what they need to have ready to make the process as easy as possible for the designer.
