That Ms. Paint Sure Is A Rascal

Me: “I’ll be making your 8′ by 8′ banner. Do you have any original files for the logos you sent over? JPEG images will look blurry when scaled larger.”

Client: “I sent over the logos!”

Me: “Yes, those are JPEG images; when they’re scaled, they become pixilated. What I need is the original vector format. The original designer might be able to help.”

Client: “I’m the original designer and I made those in JPEG!”

Me: “JPEG is the image format. I need the original format, like the Illustrator file.”

Client: “I did my research. You can just take a JPEG image and put it into Illustrator, and it becomes the original file.”

Me: “It’s… not the original vector format. What did you make these logos in?”

Client: “I made them in JPEG!”

Me: “No, I mean what tool did you use to create these images?”

Client: “Oh, MS Paint!”
