How to Create a 300 DPI Design

To create a 300 DPI (Dots Per Inch) design, you must start by creating a blank page in the appropriate software at that size. Programs like Adobe Photoshop will allow you to create a collage or any other custom design using images, text, layers and filters. As soon as you create the size and resolution for the blank page, any additions to it will automatically be sized to match the 300 DPI resolution.
