Color combinations
23
Working with color• CMYK Color
– This acronym stands for cyan, magenta, yellow and black. CMYK is also known as process color, full color, 4 color, and 4c
– The colors are versions of the primary colors, blue, red, yellow and black. They create full color images like you would see in a magazine
24
Working with color• The Pantone Matching System®
(PMS) – PMS produces a specific color. It
contains hundreds of colors, light to dark, bright to pastel; each designated by a number
– PMS colors are typically used in one and two color printing and are also called spot color or flat color
– Inkjet and color laser printers are not able to produce PMS colors accurately
25
Working with color• RGB Color
– RGB stands for red, green and blue and makes up onscreen color. The RGB model is used for projects that will only be seen on a screen and not printed
– RGB is the right choice for projects like websites, PowerPoint presentations and Acrobat .pdf files

Color bands

Creating a publication• Begin with the end in mind
– What do you want to say?– Who do you want to say it to?– What is the best way to get your
message out?– When do you need to get your
message out?– What is your budget?

font, color and logo usage• Convert Publisher and other
attachments to a small PDF• Use an attention-grabbing subject
line

for trifolds, newsletters, fliers and posters
• Brand standards apply including font, color and logo usage
• Stock photography is available in the Methodist Stock Photo Center

started• Image size and quality matters • Send final files as a high
resolution PDF

Break time• Launch Microsoft Publisher and
open the publication.pub file and the Survey flier MTC.pub file the poster folder in your project folder
• 15 minute break
32
Working with images• How do I know if my image is big
enough?– Images for print project should be at
300 dpi (dots per inch)– Here’s how to do the mathPixels/300= dpi
33
Working with images2448/300= 8.16 inches1632/300=5.44 inches
• The maximum size of this image at 300 dpi is 8.16 in. wide x 5.44 in. tall.
• If a printer or vendor asks for a high resolution image or logo, this is what he or she is asking for.
