Visualising the Graphic Stand

So far Today, I have been compiling a Visual Idea for my graphic Stand to take with me to my Tutorial tomorrow.

I have prepared my images to what I believe they need to be, including going through every visual and outlining the fonts so they will print properly. The images are embedded also.

But a problem is....the saved PDF of my idea is 501MB and my Lecturer wants files no larger than 350MB. I will need to speak to him tomorrow about this, as my file sizes are A4 and below at 300dpi and therefore cannot be made any smaller without looking too small and pixilated. Hopefully, my Lecturer will suggest some options in order to get the PDF size down! A normal Illustrator would unlikely be such a large size, I am guessing it is the PDF conversion which is making the file much larger.

Most of today has been taken up by the outlining of the fonts and resizing of the visuals. This has taken much longer than I anticipated and have therefore not got round to editing the visual content of the mini report which I have aimed to do today. Time is set aside for this after the submission of the PDF for the Graphic Stand so the latter has more importance at the moment.

I am going to get ready for tomorrow's commute up to University and for my Tutorial.

If I have time after this, I am likely to make the visual changes to my Research and Development boards rather than the Mini Report.
