Lab 1 notes

When saving your lab, I recommend two versions:
1. An .ai version which allows you to open your file in Illustrator and make changes/corrections. This is very important. You can also use the .ai version for printing if you have both Illustrator and a printer.
2. A .png (PNG-24) version. This version is for Blogger and can also be used for printing (when you do not have Illustrator on the computer). The PNG-24 option is available when you "Save for Web..." All of the defaults are fine.

The Lab 1 instructions say to save your blog version as a .jpg with Maximum quality, but the background of image is appearing as a faint gray. The PNG-24 version is retaining the crisp white background of the page just like in Illustrator.
