Digital billboards in my city are showing art, but my files kept looking wrong.
I submitted my work for a public display, and it came out fuzzy on the big screen. After some trial and error, I found that saving images at 300 DPI in RGB mode fixed most issues. What's your go-to method for prepping digital art for large formats?

Ever try working in CMYK from the start? It can really mess with your colors on a screen. I always design in RGB and only convert if it's going to be physically printed. Saves a ton of headaches.

Ugh, my friend had the same headache with a bus shelter ad. She learned the hard way that vector files for logos and massive pixel dimensions for photos are non-negotiable. That RGB tip you mentioned saved her a second round of edits too.
