Color Done Right: 4 Print Design Mistakes to Avoid

Image
Your flyer looks sharp on screen. The colors are bright, the photos are clear, and the headline stands out. Then you print it, and something feels different. That gap between screen and paper is behind several common print design mistakes. Fortunately, you don’t need professional design training to avoid them. A few basic checks can help prevent disappointing results, unnecessary revisions, and materials that are harder to read than you intended.

When the day is over, is it difficult for you to quiet your racing thoughts? You work hard. And you enjoy it. But in this mobile generation, devices meant to create freedom have tethered us to the desk as we toe the line between productivity and workaholism. A study of 3,000 UK workers showed that 69 percent regularly work outside their office hours, and the average worker fails to use six days of paid leave each year. In the midst of an overwork epidemic, are you preserving your own well-being? Digging Your Own Grave While our parents said “hard work never killed anyone,” research says otherwise. Men who are unable to mentally relax after work nearly triple their risk of heart disease and psychologist Mark Cropley, studying health and stress at the University of Surrey, says an inability to detach brings disastrous consequen...
