I know we may have discussed this in class but does anyone know the best way to use an Illustrator logo in InDesign? I have just been copying and pasting it, but I've noticed it looks all jagged. I changed the view to the highest quality, and it still occurs. If the solution is photoshop, how do you take just your illustrator logo and make it into a jpeg of the correct size?
Thanks,
Clare

rather than copy/paste, use file/place to put the logo in. and to make it the best possible, save the master as a .ai file but then save as and make it a .eps file. then place that one in ID.
this was helpful. what's an .eps file anyway?
so we have to save it in exactly the same size as in the version we want to copy and paste?
ok that really didnot work, the whole eps thing-- came up super pixelated.
With InDesign you should be able to place the .ai file directly into your document. One of the perks of staying within the Adobe family of software is that you shouldn't have to change it to an .eps format. Once it is in InDesign you can treat it as you would any other image to resize or move it around.
btw, an .eps (encapsulated post script)file is a general vector based image format instead of the Illustrator specific .ai file format.
