can you do is an email signature?
aye
here you go
Brilliant, but can you make these all hyperlinks though - one to Facebook, LinkedIn, the website, Instagram, one to open up and email and one to open a call?
right. No problem…
easy to make a pdf, not easy to make an email signature.
so this has basically been my day…
create the design first - normally I would use photoshop, but this isn’t shopping-photos, so my next go to is in design, but this isn’t for print, so off to illustrator we go.
learned that the basic running order is;
get the design sorted
”slice” that up into individual elements (each thing that someone may want to click on, and each other thing)
each of these elements then gets saved as it’s own image
you then need to put them all back together but with the code behind each click through image.
got about 80% of the way there I reckon, but all my elements have gaps between them which is a right pain, as it’s not a completely white background.
so, after beginning to learn how to HTML’s code, and also replying to a wedding customer from last month who has made their final cuts and also had a couple of photoshop editing requests AND taking delivery of two client prints for which Kirsty is NOT letting me use one of our frames, we decided to hotfoot it to the supermarket. A for more essentials and B to see it they had any picture frame to fit the peculiar size of print (chosen because it fits in one of our frames - raging at Kirsty’s unfounded unjustifiable emotional attachment to an ikea picture frame doesn’t cover it!)
so, two new frames ordered on express delivery, quick bite of lasagne and back to the computer.
also today I had to approach service provider to ask for a deposit back - didn’t feel good but I know I would be refunding deposits if anyone asked, if they were cancelling due to covid-19 government restrictions. Hats off to the supplier though, she is happy to work with us which has further instilled my faith in humanity that little bit more…
