Professional Delivery

With all of my designs now ready to be submitted to Wylam brewery, I want to go over the process of handing over files to the client, in a way that is both professional, and at industry standard.

All of my documents have a bleed fitted, ranging upward from 1mm. This is to allow a bit of lenience when cutting the image, to act as a buffer zone in case of cutting variances.

Also, my documents must be in the format of either RGB or CYMK, but i will be choosing CYMK as I have more experience with the colour format.

The files must also be in the formats of TIFF, and PDF, as these are high quality file formats which will allow for a good resolution image.

It is very important to transfer the finished criteria to the client in a professional manner, and this very often requires the usage of digital tools and programs.

One would think of such tools as DropBox, however there are more secure solutions, that are specially tailored to moving files across industry.
I touched on this subject with one of my existing blogs within professional studies, and when discussing the topic of delivery to Ben, he brought up the digital service called WeTransfer.

WeTransfer has some big improvements over other internet transfer services, as it offers much larger file sizes, which in the case of an illustrator, means that once can transfer much more detailed files, at a high resolution.

I have had experience with using digital platforms in the past with a lot of my other modules, and these have all required the use of Dropbox, a format which had to be used according to the module requirements, although they were used to allow the lecturers to gain access to my work easily.

What is different this time, is that I am working with an active client, so this time I will be using WeTransfer as a more professional approach to submission.
I will still use Dropbox to submit on the academic side, but WeTransfer for the commercial side, as it is much more of a specialised industry standard platform used my a large amount of illustrators, and people in business.
