| Apr 23, 2019 at 17:25 | comment | added | jhurley | You had 2 problems, right: pixel size and blurry quality. Is the file size at least fixed? For less JPG blurriness, looking at your Save for Web settings, here are a few things that will help. Disable Progressive (that's obsolete nowadays) and crank your quality from 60 to 100. For 60 pixels tall, that's the best your Novecento Thin font can do. IMO, thin fonts need a little help in Photoshop. For example: duplicate the Text layer (making the thin font a tiny bit brighter). I believe this is just the limits of small banners – understand that sharp, smooth edges require higher resolutions. | |

| Apr 23, 2019 at 16:36 | comment | added | Lauren | I really appreciate your determination, @jhurley! I'm not sure what you mean. The screen shot photos I uploaded are what I am trying to avoid. On Youtube I see other companion banner ads that are blurry so I see that it's been a challenge for others as well. But I have also seen that some are very crisp and clear. Can I link the AI file I have to see what can be done? | |
| Apr 23, 2019 at 15:02 | comment | added | Lauren | Thanks. Photoshop didn't help. I tried all of the anti-alias options (photo added to question). Should I create the banner bigger and save as a smaller scale? | |
| Apr 23, 2019 at 14:50 | comment | added | jhurley | There is no denying that a 300pixel x 60pixel banner may have some blurriness (there just aren't that many pixels to make it sharp). Especially when you zoom in. But how does it look at 100% size? Adequate, right? If you want super sharp text (and photo), create the banner in Photoshop. The Character palette in Photoshop allows you to render the text as either: Sharp, Crisp, Strong, or Smooth. Unfortunately, there is no way in AI to turn off anti-aliasing for your text. Do you have Photoshop, too? | |
