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

and I save the file as .ai

that's what's wrong!!
u should save ur file as .ai of course..but to upload them to a contest u should save them as .jpeg or .png
i use jpeg myself.
good luck

But that's up to you

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)

Thanks guys for ur support.

If you have any other questions...
Good luck

True

PNG is better then JPG by the way

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

By the way guys, I am newbie to the topic, can anyone tell me what is the difference between .jpeg and PNG?
