Handover folders...
under review
pinterferenc86
I won a bifold brochure contest and noticed something new.
There are 4 folders, one for each page.
Now i am required to upload 4 pages separately in ai, eps, psd, pdf, jpg, png.
Why this?
ai, eps and pdf are one file each...
psd, jpg and png are two files each, one for each side...
That is 9 files total which is already too much... They need only ai for future edits, pdf for print and jpg or png to look at.
But now i am supposed to seperate each page and make 24 files? Why? What for?
Who would even need these files like this? What can these files be used for?
Please fix this, its ridiculous.

pinterferenc86 Hey,
Are you still facing these problems?

Dear Designer , this function is new in DH , if you not upload file as per DH folder then your Handover will not start also your payment request decline after handover complete , so upload separate page as per folder and upload all page AI in Page 1 folder , you can upload more then 1 source file, follow DH condition , good luck

What i dont understand is the reason behind it...

pinterferenc86: Before this, many designer just upload source file and png file of design. Client do not know which file is require for design so Designhill added this function to get all necessary file to client, thanks

hrmotiondesign: Look, i appreciate the effort but you are not helping at all here since you are missing the problem.
If i make a bifold brochure, the print file should be one or two files.
If the brochure's size is A5 folded, we have two sides of one A4 paper that folds in the middle right?
So lets say i instead upload four A5 pages separately like it is required now.
What is the printer going to do with this? Are they going to print on two A5 papers and then put them together somehow? Maybe staple them?
I guess they could set it up somehow and print it on A4 paper if i send the files without bleed but this is very unprofessional.
In the end its just unnecessary extra work for me and the client will have to pay extra to the printers for having to deal with these garbage files.

pinterferenc86: Dear Designer , Prepare source one Ai or Psd file of all pages and tell client that this is main file of design and upload all separate page file as per handover folder , In past I faced same problem and my payment decline due to not upload separate file so if you not upload separate file then payment may be decline , This is Designhill term and condition to withdrawal payment, and we have to follow condition. We can suggest DH to change file format in Brochure design Handover , thanks

hrmotiondesign: 1. Some noob designers will just follow DH requirements and only create problems for their clients.
- Ok so we agree that this is not good and should be changed.
This is why i posted it here...
