I’ve noticed some digital artists out there who just kind of guess when choosing the dimensions of their artwork. Trying to understand ppi, dpi, print dimensions, and resolution can send you down a rabbit hole of complexity likely to break your brain.
If you are creating an image only for the web, it is really up to you how big you want to make it. The only relevant dimensions are the pixels. Print size and pixels per inch are of no consequence. A 1920x1080 300ppi image will be the same as a 1920x1080 600ppi image. Your screen only cares about pixel dimensions.
If you plan to print your image, that is where things can get complicated.
Here is the simple version…
First you need to determine the maximum size that your work may be printed. Here are the most commonly used sizes for poster prints.
Now you need to know the brand of printer that will be used. Typically it will be Epson, HP, or Canon.
For Epson printers…
Input the width and height.
Input a resolution of 360 pixels per inch.
For Canon, HP, and most other printers…
Input the width and height.
Input a resolution of 300 pixels per inch.
So let’s say you are in photoshop and you want your art to be printed at 11" x 17" on an Epson printer. This is how you should create your document.
If you do not know how your work will be printed, I recommend erring on the side of “too big.” If you end up having to enlarge your work, it could result in some quality loss.
idk take some time away from the outdoors, find your old garments from the castle, try them on for fun and get carried away getting to know softer sides of each other
Behind on life
Behind in school
Behind on my hobbies
I can’t catch up
It’s too fast
My depression is holding me down
Why are you here now?
Why am I sinking further in this pit?
Why can’t I climb out?
I was doing good
It was alright but…
My depression is killing my worth
I want to be happy
I want to feel wanted and accepted
I want to be supportive
I can’t when I’m like this
It’s not okay
My depression has me it’s it’s hold
Can I get out?
Can I get better?
Can I have a moment I feel okay alone?
The answer is someone has already throw a rope.
It’s right there with you, it’s just out of reach.
He keeps throwing more rope for you to grab but you just keep sinking deeper and deeper.
You’re afraid.
Maybe he’ll run out of rope.
He needs it too, he’s half way down your hole with you. He needs to get out too.
You stop reaching. You let it go, you let him go, because you have to strength left to put yourself first.
You shouldn’t anyway. You’re far behind and he’s about to cross the finish line and start another race.
He shouldn’t have to cheer for you when you’re so far behind. No one should. They should keep running.
I shouldn’t be a bother. Not when everyone else’s life is exciting.
