be sure to get your message across.

Color In A Word – CMYK
What is cmyk? It stands for cyan, magenta, yellow and black, (I know black doesn’t begin with a “k”, but I am sure an artist came up with this not a wordsmith). Your choices are Grayscale, RGB or CMYK. Grayscale is for non-color projects, RGB is for web projects which brings us to the printer’s favorite cmyk. So set your Photoshop or Illustrator settings to SMYK. Also, be sure to correctly set your bleed. For more on that read; How to add bleed to a pdf or artwork.
Typography Is Important in Good Print Design
Pick easy to read fonts and don’t mix too many. Consider size differentials or Invert white on black (or on any dark color ) this will often give your design or typography more strength.
Consider printing costs and quality.
