Frequently occurring issues in the life of a designer:
▼ PROBLEM: No, we can't print your compressed profile image logo on a billboard—it will look awful. ▲ SOLUTION: Recreate the logo as a pixel-less vector.
▼ PROBLEM: No, we can't use this grainy one-inch image you took on your iPhone 2 and texted to yourself 7 times as a book cover image. ▲ SOLUTION: Shoot or buy a new image with a high resolution.
▼ PROBLEM: No, we can't use your microscopic email tag logo to make a large banner image for your Home screen on your website. ▲ SOLUTION: Remake the logo or find the original files for it.
