Hi - Could someone clarify what the Extended X format is. I was thinking of having a go at one of the Poster/Ticket contests but the brief asks for images to be Extended X.... I'm guessing this means vector and scalable.
thanks

Hi Trish

Extended X has to do image licensing. It allows people to resell their products that contain certain images

Oh I see, thanks - it just means totally copyright free original images? I'm also not too sure of something else with the poster/ticket contests - I know the client puts them online and their customers upload their own details and then the posters/tickets are printed and mailed to them - am I limited to any font choices to keep them free to customize - should I ask the CH? Can I just design the poster in illustrator with the text provided in the brief and leave it as font rather than outline.
thanks - I registered with DC a long time ago but have only just decided to start using it - I'm a designer and used to working for print but this is more of an online service that these clients provide - with templates?

When you read the brief you will see this ch has an account with fotolia.com
the brief says

"***You are welcome to use stock imagery from fotolia.com. Our total budget for imagery is 100 credits, but the image MUST be Extended X. If an image does not offer Extended X we are unable to use it. You can download a comp for placement and then if you are chosen as the winner, I will replace the comp image in your final files with the high resolution image." on the image if you choose to use stock for the poster contest says right on it what it is is. You can only use the images that have "extended x" on them
