Images look tiny in illustrator

May 24, 2012 7:25 AM

I'm using illustrator to design a logo.  When I'm in illustrator everything is so small, I have to use 70 pt text just to be able to read it, then when I export the image its HUGE!  what is happening?

    Exactly what do you export?

     

    If you cannot read stuff on screen, just zoom in.

    I know I can zoom in to see it.  But its frustrating because I never know what size its going to be when I export it.  I have just been exporting it to a png, and It's always a surprise what size its going to be.

    When you're designing for screen, turn on pixel preview and view at 100 %.

     

    And you should dive into resolution issues. There are a couple of good threads on this subject in this forum with some very informative remakrs by JET. Please read that.
