LOL! Yes, make a nice big set!Originally Posted by Mouse
But seriously... If I'm understanding how the listing is set up, the images you upload in the "Photos" section are for promotional/preview images only. The actual product (your .PNG objects/elements) are what you'd send to the buyer after you've received payment. And I just personally like using zip files for that, whether it's a commercial product or a freebie.
To give you a better example of what I mean, take a look at one of my mapping freebies on deviantART: Deep Woods Fallen Tree Logs
I think a listing at Panjo is similar to how I upload things like this to deviantART. What's visible on the page is just the promo, showing people what they'll be getting once they download the zip file. Or, in this case (with Panjo), what they'll be getting once they send their payment. Go ahead and download that freebie set I linked to and take a look at the files, and the ReadMe.txt in particular (if you're interested in doing it that way, in a zip).
I like zips because it's one simple download that keeps everything together (no loose files). And I really think a ReadMe is important, since it contains stuff like the the title of your product, the date, a list of all files in the product, your homepage/url, and most importantly... your License/Rules/ToU. All very handy and important information that the buyer (or freebie downloader) can quickly and easily refer to.
EDIT: I forgot to say, you don't have to make a whole set. You could just sell each one individually. Like I said before, making a promo image should (hopefully) bump the file size up to something that Panjo will accept. If you've got a whole set, include them all in the promo. And if you're just selling one, just show that one in the promo. Since you're sending the actual PNGs to the buyer yourself, it doesn't matter how small (or big) that file (or zip) is.
