    I have a question.

    Hi guys I have a question for you because I have a small problem, when I upload my works in the contests they don't look like the same, I mean I loose colors information and the works look like dim.

    Can some one tell me what should I change.

    PS: I work in Illustrator,and I save the file as .ai

    thanks

    rgb/cmyk color mode

    I think it is very important that you have to change color mode. Cmyk color mode is for printing and rgb color mode is for web and presentation.
    Simple open File menu>Dokument color mode>rgb(switch to color mode that you want)

    if you're working in Illustrator, you can save for web - it'll convert your work to RGB for you (although some color shift may occur)

    one more suggestion, when you save your files as jpg or png, you have to save in a small (500-600 px by width or hight) otherwise the website has to resize your work, and it will not be so clear
