CMYK vs. RGB Color for the Design of Your Printed Products

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 Blue.

Business Card Printing for Realtors

If you’re a realtor, let’s face it: You’re not alone! There are a lot of people playing your game, and if you want to stand out, you’ve got to have an eye for detail, from your dress to your office décor to your business card.

Top realtors do a number of things very well to set themselves apart. These include showing up early, putting in a lot of hours, being available, and being consistent. Dressing neatly and maintaining good hygiene are obviously essential elements to success in any field, including real estate. Long term success depends also on being honest (yes, you can land a few profitable deals by being dishonest, but you can expect to have a short-lived career if you bank on such practices), staying focused on your goals, delineating your area of expertise (people like it when you do one thing very well – they often don’t trust professionals who seem to be spreading themselves too thin), and recovering quickly if you don’t strike the agreement you were hoping to strike. Move on, move up!

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 lamination? What size should you make your flyer? The list of choices can seem overwhelming. But there’s one very easy choice to make amid all this chaos: what card thickness should you print your flyers on?

Choosing the Perfect Fonts for Your Marketing Materials

It may seem like a minor detail, but in fact a font can evoke a very strong and very specific feeling or response in the beholder. Throwback fonts like Courier, which mimics the look of text from a typewriter, can create a time-tested, reliable image, but lack the modernity some brands require. Lucida Handwriting has a feminine aesthetic, which works for beauty salons, but not for hardware stores or tire wholesalers. And Times New Roman carries an academic association that could work for businesses who would like to appear studious, but will fall flat if used by a nightclub or luxury spa.
