8" x 10" transparencies are acceptable for color and grayscale scanning. While 35mm slides may become "grainy" when enlarged, transparencies 2 1/4" size and up will reproduce extremely well in most cases. If possible, specify to your photographer to use 2 1/4" format or 35mm film intended for extreme enlargement. Full Color and Grayscale Scans: Continuous-tone art is most commonly submitted in the form of transparencies, photographs, or negatives taken by a professional photographer. Supplying preprinted artwork such as a magazine page or a printout from a color printer is highly discouraged.

The finished art can contain one or more colors and varying tones of those colors. While a scanning charge does not usually apply, an art charge to recreate the image may. The complexity of the image as well as the quality of the supplied original will have a direct effect on art charges.

Don''t let too many ideas, themes, or words convolute the entire advertisement. Three to five words within a space of 20''x20'' works best. Size is key to the content of the cascadecreek sign. The same goes for the other "languages" of signs. You probably don''t want to mix too many media, too many colors, or too many cascadecreek textures. Attraction is the most important step in the process. To attract, the attention of the consumer must be seized-and held. Once someone notices the sign, part of this process is achieved. However, the concern is with getting the attention of the targeted customer. This is when strategy decisions can get tricky. Ploys such as quirky cartoons, bright lights, or loud colors can interrupt the gaze of any passerby. It''s a matter of selecting a visual scheme that will grab the targeted product market.
