Picas? Points? Inches?
|
Posted 5 months ago hey everyone, ive been a pro designer for about 8 years now and ive always worked in inches or pixels, its just what ive always been comfortable with. just thought i'd ask all you other designers what you work in (pica, point, inches, pixel, etc.....) and why? Screw it, I'm working in cicéros from now on. |

| Posted 2 months ago I work in pixels for web work and inches for print. Mainly because I have a clear visual understanding of both and they are standard measurement for screen size or paper supplies. |

| Posted 2 months ago I'm with you two. I've only ever worked in pixels for web and inches for print. With only one exception when I worked with points on a book cover. My Artist's Blog - "the capital A" -- http://thecapitala.wordpress.com/ |

| Posted 2 months ago I don't even know when to use picas. I only use points for web stuff and email images. |

| Posted 2 months ago Picas for print. Picas make the math easy for typesetting in points and for fitting layout on an inch-denominated page. Pixels are tied to hardware. “Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” -- Albert Einstein |
