Before you send artwork
Keep the original
Send the best available source rather than a screenshot of a screenshot. Include font and color references when they matter. If a file is unsuitable, ask about redrawing or simplification.
Confirm the final use
State the output format or physical product, width and height with units, quantities and deadline. Supply artwork you own or have permission to reproduce.
