To add your design to a template:

Click on an image for a template of the right size

 

Archetype/goddess

Heroine

Women's work

 

If you put your scanned image into the same file you should be able to see it in a layer behind the template.

Image Resolution

Images made can be scanned or photographed with a digital camera for further work in a CAD package. Usually 150dpi (dots per square inch) will give you a good colour copy at normal print size - anything larger takes up a lot of memory. Images for the Web or e-mail are even smaller at 72 dpi and usually saved as a gif or jpg format..

So when you are working on your image on screen keep a copy at 150 resolution tiff for yourself and make a second one smaller - 72dpi jpg/gif in order to send to the workshop. Dimensions of the files sent to workshop should be the same AA the downloaded template gif files.


This means your image will print onto a A4 sheet at 72dpi and it will measure approx.:

Goddess - 8cm x 12cm or width 230 x 340 pixels
Heroine - width - 18.5cm x 18.5cm or width 530 x 530 pixels
Women's work - 22.8 x 18.3cm width 645 x 520

 

You can do all you offline design work on paper if you wish and scan/photograph the results for sending before each work shop session. However for those of you who would like to use on screen tools here are some useful suggestions for using Photocopy. (However I am not an expert and I would advise using a good teaching program - The Mac Academy CD-ROM is excellent) However there is a page of brief notes available on Photoshop

There is an example of stages for the use of templates in Examples
