Instructions for Agencies providing designs for BlocksGlobal to build and setup in Publisher:
- All artwork to be supplied as an RGB PSD file set in pixel measurements.
- Each screen/page should be a Layer Comp .
- JPG image of each screen/page should be supplied alongside the PSD to check that Layer Comps are correct.
-
For sites with complex navigation i.e. two or more tiers and indicative site maps should be supplied as a PDF file.
- All different text styles to be visualised, including bullet points, bold text, italic, link colours (and hover states)
.
If designing forms, please include error states.
-
Interactive states such drop down menus, sliding panels, galleries should have a corresponding JPG and Layer Comp clearly indicating various states.
- BlocksGlobal reserves the right to choose a replacement for fonts i.e. Interstate will be replaced with Proxima Nova Sans unless the party supplying the artwork secure a licensed copy of the fonts or are prepared to pay for licensing. We do NOT use Cufon, sIFR or image replacement techniques.
- Heading text should be actual text, rather than images for SEO purposes and to allow for easy editing in Publisher. (Live text can overlay images - we can provide examples if required)
- Repeating backgrounds/patterns should have a corresponding JPG/GIF or PNG file for use on the website.
- Type must be rounded to the nearest pixel i.e. 12.4px should be 12px.
- Body copy must not be smaller than 11px.
- Each layer should be named according to its content
- NEVER supply artwork superimposed onto monitors, browser windows, tablets, mobile phones etc.
- For responsive design (sites that flex with screen size) separate PSDs, JPGs or labelled wireframes (hand-drawn is fine) must be supplied to clearly indicate:
- How the design appears at its maximum size
- How the design appear at its minimum size
- How the design the appears at other points i.e. at what point does a two column layout become a single column layout
