Spring Your Business into Action
The spring season is known as a time for new beginnings. When the crocuses are blooming, the streams begin flowing again, and sleepy animals come out of hiding in search of the season’s first fruits and sprigs, the world feels fresh and blank, like an artist’s canvas before the first drop of paint hits it. There’s a whole world of possibility at the top of the spring season, and that goes for your business as much as it does for your backyard flower garden.
The winter months bring a slow to everything, ...
Styles of Brochure Printing
“How much for a mani-pedi?”
“Do I have to sign up for a full year or do you guys offer monthly memberships?”
“Where’s the pool?”
“Is there a monthly fee on your checking accounts?”
“When did this place open?”
“Do you guys have anything gluten-free on the menu?”
“What’s the name of your oldest third cousin on your dad’s side?”

Flyers for Artists
Attention all artists: the days of Vincent Van Gogh are far behind us, and that means that it’s no longer cool or necessary for artists to die in poverty and obscurity. If you want people to know about the glorious works you’re creating, self-promotion is not only acceptable --- it’s an absolute must.
To this end, it’s time to stop being so Emily Dickinson (i.e. composing poetry in your closet) and making it impossible for the world to recognize you, let alone pay you for your art. It’s time instead to have ...
Flyers for Easter
Easter may not be the most scintillating of holidays (unless you’re in elementary school and you have chocolate bunnies, Peeps, and egg hunts to look forward to). But the Easter break does give people enough pause to let them relax their minds, bodies, and budgets just a bit. If you own a business, this springtime holiday is a great opportunity to help people figure out what to do with their vacation hours and the leisure-time dollars they have swirling around in their pockets. But an important factor in ...

CMYK vs RGB Color
If you weren’t born in the year 2000 or later and acronym-overloads tend to make your head spin, you may be interested in a breakdown of two popular abbreviated terms in the printing world: CMYK and RGB.
Both CMYK and RGB are acronyms that stand for modes of color use in design and in printing. CMYK stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black (the people who came up with the acronym used “K” instead of “B” for black to avoid confusion with the “B” for blue in RGB), whereas RGB represents Red, Green, and ...

How Thick Is Thick Enough? 16pt Cardstock Flyers vs 14pt Cardstock Flyers
There are a lot of choices to make when you’re designing a flyer. How many colors do you want to use? Or do you want to go black and white? Is your message best broadcast using a lot of words, or are images king for your custom flyer? Should you use Helvetica, Garamond, or Comic Sans as your font of choice? Or do you want to go off the grid and scan a handwritten message to put on your flyer? Are you going to add hot specialty design elements like full-color foil printing, foil-stamping, spot UV, or silk ...
6 Tips for Printing Custom Letterheads
There’s a big difference between writing business correspondence on a plain piece of paper and putting your words on stationery that’s anchored by your business’s official logo and info. There’s an air of authenticity you can achieve with official stationery that’s simply lacking on unadorned 8.5x11. It may seem silly, but it’s inarguably true. Letterheads make correspondence seem more legit, whether you’re a doctor, a florist, or a salesman.
Almost every professional can agree on this point, and many ...
