What format should my images be in?

I can work from any type of digital images. Most likely you will have .tiff or .jpg files. There’s an additional fee to scan 35mm prints or hardcopy.

Your digital images should be as large as possible. I will crop them (if required), as well as resize and sharpen them to create the thumbnail and large versions. I can always reduce the image but I can't enlarge it if you send images that are too small.

I have a site that I’m not really happy with. Can you work with those files and redesign it?

Yes!
