The Big Reveal

Today is the day that we hope all of you have been waiting for, the day of the “Big Reveal.” In this blog post were going to unveil the “TOP SECRET” project that SGP was working on and unable to announce it at the time.

Here is a little background on this particular project that we would like to share with all of our SGP Blog readers.

Mary asked us if we could create an Appreciation Certificate for a luncheon being held on July 11th. The event was to say thank you to all of the “Sunday School Teachers, Assistant Teachers and Cell Group Leaders.” You see, Mary is a very special and wonderful woman, a person we have known since 2004. The SGP family has become very close to a lot of wonderful people over the years. Mary is just one of many people we have had a great opportunity to meet and grow with. You might be asking yourself, well then where is this great place at. The place that were talking about is our church and the people are our church family. The name of our church is “Crossroads Multinational Church of the Nazarene” and the SGP family has been apart of Crossroads since 2004.

The reason why we couldn’t say anything earlier is because of the surprise. SGP has brothers and sisters who are linked up with them on Facebook and wouldn’t want to let the cat out of the bag. Now you see why we couldn’t announce this special and fun project when it came in.

Below are samples of the three design options SGP had provided to Mary. Actual certificates that were given out included other information as well as church logo, address and website address.

Never afraid to create
All the best,
SGP

Keyboard Short Cuts That Aren’t Just For Graphic Designers

‘Quik Tip’: What are Keyboard Short Cuts and do I really need to use them?

In this ‘Quik Tip’, we will be discussing the term Keyboard Short Cuts:
+ What are Keyboard Short Cuts anyways
+ Why is it important to know this term
+ How does it relate to my project

Now days everyone wants everything faster, faster computers, internet, cell phones and even shorter lines at the checkout stand. Even while writing this blog post I find myself trying to use as many keyboard short cuts as I can.

 This is a computer topic that I’ve wanted to do for awhile. Just like everyone else things are happening to fast in our world and we miss things. We have a list of topics that were choosing our blog posts from. Topics that range from hardware to software issues that can be turned into a ‘Quik Tip’ or other useful information. If you’re a follower of this blog you have already seen some of those topics come to life and we thank you. If you’re not a follower yet, please check out some of our past post. Good stuff there.

Let’s Get Into It
If you’re a newbie or expert with computers most likely you have heard the term “Keyboard Short Cuts.” For this Quik Tip, let’s say you have no idea what it is or even how to begin using it. Basically it is a shorter way of doing something that you would normally achieve by using your mouse. Is it starting to make a little since to you now, hang on it will?

 Have you ever wondered what those weird letters in the menus of your programs are, ones like ctrl + X, ctrl + C or ctrl + V? You might have thought to yourself these must be some kind of special code or something? Well your close, they are used for what is called “Keyboard Short Cuts.” A lot of your software these days includes these short cuts programmed into the program. Depending on which program you purchased the short cuts will vary. Some of the most common one’s will usually be the same in a lot of your programs. Computer users have become very dependant on one’s like X, C and V, I can’t tell you how many times through out the day I use just those three.

 Now that you know what a keyboard short cut is lets discuss how to use them. Using these types of short cuts is really easy once you get the hang of them. One thing to keep in mind in using short cuts is that it is a two or three step process. Let’s use ctrl + c as an example, this particular short cut is the command to copy. This short cut will copy what ever you have selected, a single letter, content, a whole page of content or more or even a file. You ask where does it copy it to, the items that you select to be copied get placed on what is called a “Clipboard.” The term clipboard is a whole other “Quik Tip” that will be discussed on another blog post, so stay tune for that one.

 Another thing to keep in mind when copying something to your clipboard is that, one copy will always overlap the next one. Meaning, you copy a paragraph of content and then need to make another copy of something else. The paragraph is no longer on your clipboard, it will be the new item copied to it. Some of Microsoft® Word versions will allow you to see what items you have copied.

Example
Try this, open a program on your computer that will allow you to type text, for instance a word processing program. Next step, type some text onto your page and select the text with your mouse. Look at your keyboard and you will notice two keys in two different locations displaying “ctrl.” On your keyboard, hold down the key that displays “ctrl” and then hit the “C” key. What has happened is you have made a copy of your selected text to the clipboard. Depending on what program you are using, you might be able to see it on the clipboard or not. But not to worry it is on your clipboard. The way you can tell is hit the return (enter) key a couple of times and then do a ctrl + V to paste it. That’s it.

 Below we have a small list of some common keyboard short cuts you might be familiar with or not. Plus we have provided a link to the Microsoft Support website for a list of more short cuts.

Ctrl + Z: Undo
Ctrl + X: Cut
Ctrl + C: Copy
Ctrl + V: Paste
Ctrl + P: Print
Ctrl + S: Save

 Alt + Tab: Toggle through opened programs

 Window Key + E: Opens My Computer

We would love to hear some of your favorite keyboard short cuts, so make a comment and include your favorite ones to share with others.

Microsoft Support Website

 My Final Thoughts
Short cuts are a cool way to shorten the time of doing a project on the computer. If you’re new to all of these short cuts we recommend you trying only one or two of them. Once you feel confident in using those add another one or two. Sooner then you know you will be using several of them. Take your time; don’t rush into trying to learn all of them.

Women’s Ministry Conference

Recently we had the opportunity to be part of something amazing. An incredible experience for all persons involved. SGP is talking about a women’s conference called “Women of Faith Presents Contagious Joy,” Hosted by Lancaster New Life Church of the Nazarene. The conference was a time for the women to come together and fellowship; hear several great speakers and have a chance to spend quality time with God.

 The women who attended this conference are not the only ones blessed by this incredible experience. SGP is also blessed by this opportunity to have been chosen by New Life Church of the Nazarene. Below see samples of items we had provided for the Women’s Ministry Conference.

Note: This final version of the program is printed on a light gray paper using an inkjet printer provided by Lancaster New Life Church of the Nazarene.

Note: Serveral women created centerpieces for all the tables. Our part was to provide an “Information Card” that could be taken home or given away.

Note: SGP created this “Gift Certificate” for Delores to be placed into a basket with other goodies. Several women created baskets that were given away as door prizes.

Never afraid to create
All the best,
SGP

Can’t Open A PDF File

‘Quik Tip’: What are PDF Files and do I really need to use them?

In this ‘Quik Tip’, we will be discussing the term PDF File:
+What are PDF Files anyways
+Why is it important to know this term
+How does it relate to my project

Phyllis started her morning just like any other morning. By turning on her computer and checking to see if, she received any new e-mails. Only one had come in and noticing it had an attachment with it. Therefore, proceeding to save the attachment as she would any other attachment received. Then found the saved attachment and double clicked it. Phyllis was excited because the e-mail was from here friend Carrie from college, one she lost contact with but recently got reconnected with. Shortly after double-clicking on the file, a dialogue box appeared on her screen informing her she did not have the correct software on her system. When Phyllis took a second look at the file, she noticed that the file had a .PDF extension. Phyllis was not familiar with this type of file format, sitting there for a few minutes and wondering how she was going to open this type of file.

Phyllis remembered her friend Anna made a comment to her a couple of times about reading a blog online from Scuotto Graphics Plus. She was always commenting on how much information they have on there blog website about different computer issues. Phyllis quickly calls Anna on the telephone “Anna, I need help opening a .PDF file.” Anna replies, “Where did you get the file from?” Phyllis tells her, “from an e-mail attachment that a friend from college sent me. Anna is their a way to open this file?” Anna tells her, “Let me look in my 3-ring binder of all my printouts of past posts and see for you.” Anna puts the telephone down to look in her binder. After a few minutes Anna picks up the telephone. Anna replies, “Yes, there is a post that talks about having trouble opening a .PDF file.” Phyllis replies, “That is great. Can you fax that over to me?” Anna tells her, “sure no problem.” Both women say goodbye and hang up.

It is around 10:00 am in the morning and Phyllis just finishing reading Anna’s fax and doing what the blog post had mentioned to do. Now she is ready to see if the file will work for her this time. Phyllis relocated the attachment file, double clicked it, and noticed that it was opening up in the program she just installed on her computer a few minutes ago. When the file had opened up Phyllis started to read it and was getting excited as further down the page she read.

You see it was an invitation from Carrie inviting Phyllis and her husband Robert to a weekend at Big Bear filled with fun and friends from college. Phyllis quickly printed it out to show her husband when he comes home from work that night.

Later that evening after Robert, Phyllis’s husband gets home from work. Phyllis’s telephone rings and it is Anna. “Phyllis, did it work out for you?” Phyllis replies, “Yes it did and thank you for your help.” Anna tells her, don’t thank me, it was the Scuotto Graphics Plus blog post.” Phyllis replies, “Ok then. Thank you Scuotto Graphics Plus.” Anna asks Phyllis “Are we still meeting for lunch next week?” Phyllis replies, “Yes.” Anna tells her, “Ok, see you next week then.” Phyllis replies, “Ok.” Both women say goodbye and hang up.

Phyllis’s Solution
Some people this solution might be a no brainer and others this might be a very difficult problem to fix. In Phyllis’s situation, she wasn’t sure on how to fix her computer issue.

Let’s Get Into It
The reason why Phyllis was having this problem is because her computer didn’t have the required program installed on it. Her solution was to head over to a website called Adobe®. Adobe® offers a program for download that is known as “Adobe® Acrobat Reader, Adobe Reader or even just PDF Reader” to some people. The term PDF actually stands for “Portable Document Format”, which means it is a compressed file format that is very manageable. Many people in the non-business and business profession world have discovered the ease and use of a PDF file for many of their projects. With so much usability of a simple PDF file that can be put onto a CD, Zip Disk, Flash Drive or even sent as an attachment in an e-mail. Having the PDF Reader program installed on your computer can help and relieve a lot of stress during a possible crucial time in your project.

On the other hand, what if during a project you do not need to receive a PDF file but actually send one to your client. Maybe it’s to a new client that you’re trying to send him/her a copy of their project for review. Or to someone that you know that doesn’t have the program you are using, but they need to review the project. What do you do? You could fax it, but you are limited on the size, plus faxes tend to get distorted, look nasty and even might only be in black and white.

Another solution is to purchase a program called “Adobe® Acrobat” this program is a powerful program to have in your resources. The program contains a lot of cool features that help you do different tasks with your project. One of the main features we like is the ability to create a PDF file from what ever program you can print from. You see, once you get the program setup on your computer it is as easy as hitting the print command. After checking your settings for your PDF file and clicking “OK” the program does its thing and creates you your PDF file. Following the creation of the PDF file you have a chance to review it, make sure it is how you’re wanting it, if not, make adjustments and create another one. Finally, you can do several different things, you can save it, e-mail it, put it on a CD or a Flash Drive. That is it, not to hard.

* At the time of this blog post the Adobe® Acrobat Reader is a free downloadable program from there website.*
* SGP is not receiving any money for writing this blog post on two of  their programs.*
* The reason why SGP  has written this blog post is because we feel it would be a useful topic to write on.*
 
My Final Thoughts
There are different programs on the market that will also create and view PDF files. A word of advice, check around and really do your own research on this subject of having a program that will be able to create and view PDF files. In the meantime download the Adobe Acrobat Reader free program and take a little stress off.

Note: The names Phyllis, Carrie, Anna and Robert are all fictitious names that were used only for this ‘Quik Tip.’

Style Sheets

‘Quik Tip’: What are Style Sheets and do I really need to use them? 

In this ‘Quik Tip’, we will be discussing the term Style Sheets:
+What are Style Sheets anyways
+Why is it important to know this term
+How does it relate to my project

For this ‘Quik Tip’ we will be using Microsoft Word as the primary program for this discussion.

“Style Sheets” are a very important feature that most word processing/desktop publishing, layout, web design programs, comes standard with. This feature may not be called style sheets in your program, due to each program is different. But, you should have the same result. Even this blog that you are reading or our website at http://www.scugp.com/ have been created and updated using style sheets.

The feature of style sheets have been around for many years in these types of programs. It is not a new feature. However, a feature that lets you control many different text features like font, color, size, spacing, leading (the space bewteen the bottom of one line to the top of the line below it) and etc. across your whole document. The main point in using style sheets in your document is to have the look and feel be consistent throughout the whole piece. As you read in “Option #2” not having style sheets already in place is a very time consuming process, when making changes. Especially when you are the person working on a time crunch project that needs to be handed off to someone else.

Please read the Example, Option #1 and Option #2 below to find out how this important feature can impact your projects.

Example
Have you ever been in a situation at work, where your boss (James) has asked you to make changes to a 3-5 page or even a large 60-100 page Microsoft Word document, and one that someone else has created? The person who created the file is out of the office. So James comes over to you and asks can you make these changes? You don’t want to tell him Noooo. So without even thinking and looking at the document, you say, “sure I can.” Now you’re responsible for making those changes to the document.

Once you have agreed to the changes James gives you a marked up hard copy that has all the changes in it. He mentions to you that the changes are minor, easy ones, no problem.

While looking through the hard copy version you notice that all the changes are on the “Headline” and “Sub-head” only.

James lets you know all he wants done is for you to change all the Headline and Sub-head text throughout the whole document. He needs to have the headline text in Arial Bold font at 22pt size, as for the sub-head he needs them to also be in Arial but in normal/regular font at 18pt size.

You say to yourself at this point, “I can do this.”

James informs you that once all the items have been completed throughout the whole document. He needs you to look it over to make sure everything look’s good before going to print. Afterwards create a PDF file of the document and e-mail it to the printer.

Did I mention that the printer told James that he needs the PDF file from you within an hour so he can stay on target with his own deadline?

Finally, after all that you have a chance to open up the file and take a look at it on your computer screen. While scrolling through the document you notice that it is setup using either Option#1 or Option #2.

What do you do?

 

Option #1
The document was created using Style Sheets.

The only thing you need to do is select the “Headline Style Sheet”, make any changes to the font, size and leading etc. Proceed onto the “Sub-head Style Sheet” and repeat the process. Once you have completed this you’ll notice that all the Headlines and Sub-heads have been changed across the whole document. Next, just look over the whole document to make sure it will print correctly, create that PDF file and e-mail it over to the printer. That’s it.

wordsytlesheetOption #2
The document was created using no Style Sheets.

The first thing you will want to do is go to the beginning of the document. You might even have to try and figure out what and where the “Headline” text is on the page. It may or may not be noticeable.

Once you have established and selected the text that will become the headline text. Start by creating a style sheet called “Headline.” If there is a “Headline” style sheet already in your list, that’s great. Either you are creating it from scratch or change the existing one, it is pretty simple. All you have to do is set your font, size and leading etc. desired. That’s it. Remember, this will depend on what program you are using to make these changes. Once you have finished creating/changing the Headline Style Sheet on the first page. Go to the next page, select the text that will become the headline for that page. Select your newly or changed style sheet you used on the previous page. Continue selecting the headline text on each page and giving it the same “Headline” style sheet throughout the whole document. Once you have finished with the headlines, go back to the beginning of the document and repeat the same process but for the Sub-Head Style Sheet. Going through the whole document for each of the style sheets can take a lot of time, depending on the length of your document. This is the main reason why style sheets should be used, especially on big documents.

Now you remembered that James also mentioned for you to look through the document to see if anything out of the ordinary catches your eyes. If the document looks good for print, then all you have to do is create the PDF file of it and e-mail it to the printer.

My Final Thoughts
As you can see from the two different options above using style sheets can really help in a time crunch project. Once you starting using them, I’m sure you will really like to use them on all your projects.

Remember, for this ‘Quik Tip’ we were using Microsoft Word as the primary program. But this feature may not be called “Style Sheets” in your program, due to each program is different.

The goal you want to try and keep in mind is to show a consistent look and feel throughout the whole document to your readers.

Note: The name James is a fictitious name that was used only for this ‘Quik Tip.’

Why Would You Need to Convert a PDF file to JPG Format?

Last week I met a business owner named Steve at his business I frequently go to. You see, when I go to his business I usually get helped by Mark and not Steve. This particular time Mark was out doing some other business related work.

Steve and I got to talking a little bit about the services that Scuotto Graphics Plus (SGP) offers their clients. After a few minutes of talking Steve asked me, I’m having a problem with one of our customers. Would you have any suggestions? I asked him what kind of problem; I’ll try to help you, if I can. He proceeded to tell me that one of his customers e-mails him PDF files that have four pages included in them.

PDF files are great, because one PDF file can consist of 1 to many pages. The term PDF stands for Portable Document Format. Which also means that it is a compressed format and very useful. It is a format that a lot of computers can read, as long as you have the PDF Reader software installed on your computer.

PDF Specs:
+Very useful format
+Compressed
+Easy to print from
+Font friendly
+Looks same as a print out

Marks problem was that he needed to print the PDF file as a four panel brochure on a sheet size of 11” x 17.” Not as two separate sheets double-sided. You see, Marks main business is not printing brochures for his customers. His goal was to satisfy his customer’s needs and to provide the best possible customer service he could. Prior to Mark asking for my opinion he has been struggling to figure out a way to accomplish this task.

The option that I gave him was to convert the PDF file into separate JPG files for each page. Converting from the PDF format to a JPG format would require him to purchase additional software to accomplish this task. By doing a quick search I was able to find several companies’ that provide this type of service. While doing my search one company stood out because they offered this feature and more. The company is called CoolUtils Development at http://www.coolutils.com/TotalPDFConverter

By converting the PDF file into four separate JPG files would be more manageable in his case. His option now would be to place the four JPG files into a MS® Word document. Placing them on the appropriate pages and hitting print. The out come would be a great looking print out.

The names are all fictitious except for SCUOTTO GRAPHICS PLUS (SGP).

What is DPI?

‘Quik Tip’: What is DPI? 

In this ‘Quik Tip’, we will be discussing the term DPI:

+ What is DPI anyways
+ Why is it important to know this term
+ How does it relate to my project

If you print anything from a home office or business printer, you are dealing with DPI. For this ‘Quik Tip’ we will be discussing DPI as it relates to graphics. The term DPI stands for “dots per inch.” Even this blog you’re reading has been created using DPI. Basically, DPI consists of tiny dots that are used to create a graphic. The higher the DPI number is, the more tiny dots their are, which translates into a better quality graphic being produced. In some graphic programs, you have the ability to change the graphic to a higher or lower DPI setting. In the graphic design industry, DPI is also referred to as resolution.

What you want to keep in mind is “what is the final piece going to be used for.” The final piece will dictate what DPI you will need to have the graphic or graphics set at.

72 DPI LowLow Resolution
The industry considers 72 DPI to be low resolution. This type of resolution is known for graphics that will be placed on a website or in a presentation. The reason is that the files are small in size and load fast, plus you don’t loose a lot of quality when viewing. If the same graphics were printed on your printer the quality would be very poor, the graphics would look fuzzy. SGP is not stating, this type of graphic shouldn’t be printed on a home or business printer. The resolution would be useful if you only needed the graphic for reference purposes only. 

150 DPI MediumMedium Resolution
The industry considers 150 DPI to be medium resolution. This type of resolution is known for graphics that you plan on printing on your printer at home or in the office. The quality of the print out can also very from printer to printer. Basically, your standard home or business printer will be able to produce a quality graphic piece for samples. In addition, if you are happy with the quality that your specific printer prints out at, for any given project, then really that is all that matters. 

300 DPI HighHigh Resolution
The industry considers 300 DPI and up to be high resolution. This type of resolution is known for print shops and professional printers. Your local print shop or professional printer can even reach 2,400 DPI or higher. It all depends on the print shop or professional printer’s set-up. DPI can range greatly from project to project, as you can see.

 
The above DPI settings for low, medium and high are just a starting point and can very.

Many people print or view things that were created using a certain DPI and not even be aware of it. Even from your basic printers, scanners, monitors, copiers, fax machines, digital cameras and multi-purpose machines, they all deal with DPI. Here is one that you may or may not be aware of, all those websites that you surf on your computer. Those sites were all created using a certain number of DPI for the graphics that were placed on those sites.

P.S.

Remember when dealing with graphics, you want to keep in mind, “what is the final piece going to be used for.” For an example, you’re creating a graphic for a website or a brochure that will be sent to a print shop? You wouldn’t want to send the print shop a low resolution graphic. If by chance you did send them one, the print shop would verify with you to make sure the quality of the graphic was correct, before printing your project. The end result of the printed piece wouldn’t be good. You never want to send a print shop a low resolution graphic for printing. As you can see, DPI can play a very important role in the quality of your printed piece.

Also, it would be a good idea to formularize yourself with this graphic term. In case you need to have a graphic created, you should know what kind of graphic quality to except.

SGP
