Convert Your Images Into Vector Graphics Online with Vector Magic

As you may or may not know, when uploading your own artwork for printing as part of your design at SignsToday.me, you should pay attention to the size of the print area and the physical dimensions of your artwork. A tiny .gif or .jpeg simply cannot be stretched large enough and maintain the quality of the print for say, a large canvas print.
However, sometimes the perfect image is in an unscalable format, and you’d like to enlarge it, but maintain the original quality of the image. Well, great news–vector graphics were created to solve just this problem. A vector graphic (common file extensions are .svg, .eps, and even .pdf) can be resized to any dimensions with virtually no loss of quality of the image. Thus, they are commonly used in the printing industry.
So, how do you convert your .gif, .jpg. or .png into a vector graphic? If you don’t have access to an expensive graphics program, such as Adobe Illustrator, this could be a tricky problem. You could always ask your printer to convert the file for you, but this could entail extra charges.
Fortunately, the easiest and best-quality way I’ve found is to use an online tool called Vector Magic (http://www.vectormagic.com). You simply upload your image, and it’s automatically converted to a high-quality vector graphic, suitable for any use! And the quality of the vector images is generally pretty amazing–it performs better than Illustrator’s Live Trace function in my opinion.
It’s not free (although, they were offering 2 free uses with the creation of a free account–not sure if this still applies), but it could be a lifesaver if you need to transform a 2 inch square logo into a 10 foot wide canvas banner by tomorrow! Very cool stuff, indeed!

Every business and website needs a professional-looking, polished logo. An attractive logo helps your customers identify you and helps you build your brand. Branding is important because once your brand is established, it’s like a “mental shortcut” for potential customers–they don’t have to think and compare anymore–they just BUY!
Unfortunately, logo design can be a costly and time-consuming process. It’s difficult to find a design firm that you trust, and that can consistently produce quality work. And a designer’s time is anything but cheap!

That’s where we come in! Using our online logo designer at SignsToday.me, you’ll be able to quickly and cheaply get a custom designed logo for your website or business. Simply upload your own graphics and text, or start with one of our professional templates, and you’ll have a great-looking logo in minutes for just $5.00!
We’ll send you a vector file of your completed logo (for example, an SVG or PDF file), and you’ll be able to resize this image, with no loss of quality, for use on all your promotional materials–letterhead, business cards, signage–whatever! You simply cannot beat this deal.
