The design of media for printing is much more different than designing internet solution media.To get more familiar with these two types of design we would compare their features below:<\/p>\n

1. Size & Resolution<\/span><\/h1>\n

WEB<\/strong>
\nThe size of the images is 1:1, with resolution 72 dpi (dots per inch)<\/p>\n

PRINT<\/strong>
\nThe size of the images is 1:1, with resolution 300 dpi (dots per inch)<\/p>\n

2. Colors<\/span><\/h1>\n

WEB<\/strong>
\nAll colors are in RGB (Red, Green \u0438 Blue) mode.
\n\"Design<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

PRINT<\/strong>
\nAll colors are in CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow \u0438 Black) mode.
\n\"Print<\/p>\n

3. Rasters and Vectors<\/span><\/h1>\n

WEB<\/strong>
\nRaster images are used – the image is composed by dots in different colors.<\/p>\n

PRINT<\/strong>
\nVector images are used – composed by curves.<\/p>\n

4. Positioning<\/span><\/h1>\n

WEB<\/strong>
\nWhen designing, it is important to plan the content position very carefully according to the standard monitors’ resolution
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

PRINT<\/strong>
\nWhen designing, it is necessary to consider carefully the cutting line.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

5. Text<\/span><\/h1>\n

WEB<\/strong>
\nAll text is just raster text or may be converted to a raster image (remember the dots?)
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

PRINT
\n<\/strong>The text may be converted to curves in order to look better on paper<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

6. Fonts and Typefaces<\/strong><\/h1>\n

WEB<\/strong>
\nThere is a limited number of type styles, which are supported by the browser and all OS such as Verdana, Gerogia, Arial, Timen New Roman, Impact etc. These are called “web safe” fonts, because they can be displayed on all machines.<\/p>\n

PRINT<\/strong>
\nThere is no limit for type styles. All available types are suitable for this design type.<\/p>\n

7. Time<\/span><\/h1>\n

WEB<\/strong>
\nWeb design requires more time for completion.<\/p>\n

PRINT<\/strong>
\nPrint design is time effective and requires less time for completion (depends on the project)<\/p>\n

8. Measurements<\/span><\/h1>\n

WEB<\/strong>
\nIn web design everything is measured in pixels<\/p>\n

PRINT<\/strong>
\nIn print design everything is measured in cm and mm.<\/p>\n

9. Software<\/span><\/h1>\n

WEB<\/strong>
\nWeb Design’s software is independent. Usually it is : Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign<\/p>\n

PRINT<\/strong>
\nThe software depends closely on the machines that are being used for producing the materials. It consists mainly of vector procession like Illustrator, and InDesign, CorelDraw, Quark Expres etc.<\/p>\n

10. Way of functioning<\/span><\/h1>\n

WEB<\/strong>
\nWay of functioning – information moved by hand, expression of information relationships is possible as a part of interaction and user movement.<\/p>\n

PRINT<\/strong>
\nWay of functioning – the eyes walk over the information, selecting objects and using spatial juxtaposing order to enhance the page elements and make them explain each other.<\/p>\n
