Want to trade digital artist trading cards?…

I googled digital artist trading cards and the funny thing was that I came up with Scraps of Mind again today…great “minds” must think alike LOL. She started talking about it on her blog last year. I’ve always wanted to…

Well usually you have two versions Cindy: a save-for-the-web version and a PNG version at full resolution. When you trade a Digital ATC you send the high resolution PNG to your trading partner(s). That way they can they can print out the ATC in a high quality print on good photo card. Or they can use it as an element in their cards or scrapbook layouts.

It’s a good idea to have a little ‘trademark’ that you put on all the digital ATCs that you trade so that it is known to be created by you.

If you are making Digital ATC's , how are you trading them? Are they meant to keep digitally? Or are they to be printed? Just curious. Cindy Lietz, Polymer Clay Tutor's last blog post..Baking Polymer Clay Safety Tips - Fumes From Burning Not So Good

ITA with your answer there Karen. The one ATC I made was at 300dpi using the standard size for ATCs. Worked out perfectly. hmm…maybe I’ll start doing some and doing some trading. Have you looked at Digital Art Quirks? It’s a site by Maya of Scrapbookgraphics. There are some beautiful ATCs floating around there. Now to figure out why I seem to be locked out of my Flicker account…stuff like this is always happening to me!!! ARG….

I think with digital you still keep to the same physical size. The pixel count will vary depending on the DPI you use. I’d suggest making them at the standard 300dpi and then you can reduce the size when you save for the web (ie. take it down to 72 dpi). THat way you’ve always got your options open to do a good quality print, and when you send the the actual ATC file you can zip it up as a 300dpi jpeg or tiff file. Hope that makes sense.

Until now I have been able to resist… Like you I’m a sucker when it comes to collecting stuff (much to hubby’s dismay). *IF* I get into ATCs, it will be digital ones. BC (Before Computer) I was into cardmaking, but I hated the cutting and the glue-mess :p That’s why I love Digital Scrapbooking!
Any idea how big the digital cards should be – as in pixels I mean. 2,5×3,5 inches gave me an image of 177×244 pixels, think that is about right?
With my Campaign gone, I need another project *grin*
