InDesign images blurry

[DrDrae]

Hey!

I've got a problem. I'm currently writing/designing a CV with InDesign and used some of the Google icons. (48dp, png)

When I insert the pictures (Ctrl-D) they become verry blurry. And when I save my document as PDF (1.4), the icons are still not sharp.

 

I've tried many things:

change the size of the icons with photoshop (to 60x60 px) and then insert them (useless)

dont change the size of the icons (useless)

...

 

i think the problem is the low dpi of the icons, even though theyre also made for webdesigning...

if so: can i get 300dpi google icons? does anybody know good sites for downloading icons?

 

please help! 

thanks in advance

yeah 60x60px is pretty small for printing purpose. If you want to view your work more like it will end, check view/display performance. High quality display will give you a good preview but can slow down things. 

 

For the icons, just search for bigger ones. The best case would be to using vector icons which would the highest quality available, at any size. 

 

Google "free vector icons" and will find sites like :
