A reminder: Compress Artwork!

A common problem with sending artwork over email is the loss of file extensions (and other general corruption's). Often this is caused by cross system email's, e.g. mac to pc (or visa-versa). A simple solution is to compress the artwork within a folder. Once you have collected the artwork to a folder, simply create a compressed archive of the folder using OSX 'create archive' (right click - contextual menu) or using an application like Stuffit. The resulting .ZIP or .SIT file should retain it's integrity regardless of where it's sent to and from!
