Got rid of temporary internet files. Wasn’t anything to do with that though. Just refreshed and the old one was replaced by the new one. I feel very silly.

On a related note, how do I get my donation badge added?

Haley - did they not send you the kit for that? You need to apply it in photoshop. The graphic came along with the confirmation from Typophile.

Hmm no I never got anything. Just my receipt from paypal.

Yep. I got my receipt about a month ago but nothing has been transfered from my bank account yet. I guess paypal just sucks.

Haley - FWIW mine went into my spam folder. I have no idea why. You might check there, or else contact Typophile. You should wear your badge proudly!

I don’t have a spam folder. Maybe I’ll make my own typophile badge. :)

Image size?

Same here. After Patty’s comment, I just went and checked my confirmation e-mail, but there is no attachment. Hmph.

I’m having the same problem. I think the problem is that I cannot get my file size down below 24 Kb. I’ve made the image extremely small (30x30) but the file size will not get smaller than 52 Kb. I’m obviously not a web guru. Any suggestions?

Hi, Michael. This worked for me:

1. In Adobe Photoshop, start with a new image that is 60 pixels wide x 60 pixels tall, and has a resolution of 300 pixels per inch. Alternately, in Adobe Illustrator, make a square that is 60 points x 60 points. This will equal 60 x 60 pixels later, when you save your file for the Web.

2. Make sure you are in RGB mode (in either Photoshop or Illustrator), and that you have the color palette set to Web-safe colors (to make sure your icon’s colors will look the same on a Mac or on a PC).

3. When your icon is ready, go to File > Save for Web. This will open a window that gives you a preview of your icon, and lets you choose different image formats (JPEG is best for color, GIF is best for black and white). This window will also show you what size the final file will be, and let you choose different variables for image compression and quality. Once you hit the Save button, you will get a chance to change the name of your file, if you wish.

I hope this helps!

(JPEG is best for color, GIF is best for black and white)

Actually the way it works is that jpeg is good for photos and GIF is fine for color as long as it’s flat color. Mine is a gif I think. It should be anyway.

Ack, thanks for the correction, Patty!

[EDIT] And you’re right — your icon is saved as a GIF file.

Hello, moderators and/or Punchcut folks... Just a friendly reminder that I have not received my donation badge kit... (I wrote e-mails to Joe, Jared, and Zara, as well, but have not heard back yet.)

Thanks in advance,
R.

After 1&1/2 months I emailed Joe and got my badge right away.

Thanks everyone for the support and for your patience :)

I just got my email.. But I think I’ll keep my fake badge. Thanks though!

Hey, Zara, sorry to hear about your computer problems. :-(

I wrote on February 21, but not to the address you posted here... (I wrote to your individual addresses.) Thanks!

Kind folks at Punchcut, I am still waiting from my donation badge... *pretty please?*
