Fun fact…

Back in the day, publishers used to send in artificially resolution boosted screenshots so they looked better in print.

Many of us in print media called them bullshots, and it was particularly common in the Xbox and PS2 days!
Tip #12

Again. Resolution matters more than you think. An A4 page printed at 300 DPI is roughly 2480 × 3508 pixels.

Anything smaller may look soft or blurry in print.

Editors can always scale images down, but they can’t invent lost detail when scaling up.

You’ll laugh. You’ll scream. You’ll sabotage your loved ones in ways you never thought possible.

Coming soon.
