I’m in charge of designing a trade show booth for the company I work with and I have a few questions.

The booth is a 4 feet tall and 6 feet wide.

I came up with a design that management has approved for the booth, basically there is a picture of our product on the right side and some text with our logo above it on the left side.

Should my file be the same size as the booth and also what resolution?

I’m worried that the text and logo will look jaggy.

I’m using Photoshop CS
Dell Dimension 2400
P 4
512 RAM

Call the printer and ask. I’ve done these in the past at 125 dpi at full size and they look great.

I hope you have a lot RAM.

Re: I’m worried that the text and logo will look jaggy.

How close do you expect people to get to the text? Don’t make the mistake of thinking that because the text looks bad from 12 inches away, like a document, that it is bad. If people will be seeing the text from 6 feet or more back, the jaggies will not be a problem.

If you get close to a billboard, you can seldom make out the image or text because of the low resolution used.

And if you save as PDF out of Photoshop, the text won’t lose any resolution at all.

Just thought I should add to Bob’s comment to make sure you tick include vector data and embed fonts in the options.

If you make sure trhe logo is made up of vector shape layers then this won’t lose any res. either.
