thanks! It took a while to get that much done, so I had to take a break. I wanted to post my work in progress anyway so others can start using it. I'll probably work on it some more this weekend.


I'm glad so many people have found it useful.

I've just learned the resolution is too low. It's 150 when I upload it into vistaprint. 300dpi is ideal, but really lower can make a nice brochure. 150 is probably too low. I'm trying to figure out what went wrong. I think it's probably saving it as a picture in powerpoint. I'll post when I know how to fix it. It might need to be designed in photoshop instead. I just find powerpoint to be so much easier.

OK I've almost figured it out. I resized the powerpoint page to be twice as big (22.2x 17.26). Then the resolution is 277dpi. They suggest 300, but 277 is fine. I can probably go 3x size & get the dpi up past 300. the only strange thing is it isn't full bleed size when i upload it. It looks fine though in the preview. I'll see if I can figure that part out. I think it would print fine how it is though.

I'll mess with it later & then upload a new template. Don't worry if you have already been messing with the old template it can easily be converted to a larger page & get you higher resolution.
