Print Media

Print media is actually anything about the game is printed and published whether on paper or the Internet. If you would put an image of the main character on a website you would make the image size small like 72 DPI (dots per inch) or if you put the game’s image on a poster it would have to be a march larger size about 300 DPI.

If I was going to be printing any images of the game it would be published on magazines, banners, newspapers, the game box cover, websites and leaflets.

This is an example of the print media.

On the left is the poster of Diablo 3 which is going to be a big print out so it will have to be 300 DPI so that the quality is not lost on the poster and on the right is the banner for the game from http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs24/f/2009/242/b/8/Diablo3_Banner_small_by_DavionX.gif . Though it looks like it’s a big image but it’s actually small with the resolution 72 DPI so it can be uploaded on the Internet without taking up much space.
