One or two colors can be more
Colors make any object interesting and exciting. To
make your designs and media material stand out, it
takes one color, or two, or even three extra dashes.
Hence, spot color design can be as rewarding as any
process design.
Here is an adaptation of money saving design ideas
to make colors look more, as well as other ideas to
make your design stand out:
Overprinting colors can create a third interesting
color. Printing one color over another creates a
third color. Remember the fundamentals of color when
we were still in kindergarten? To create green,
combine yellow and blue; for violet, its red and
blue; and for orange, red and yellow, and so on and
so forth. Integrate this concept with a good
knowledge of how to make your colors work for you
and a good relationship with a printer, will
definitely give you something that will attract even
the most choosy clients.
Paper color can be your third color. Nowadays, there
ˇs wide range of interesting and arresting papers to
choose from. There are papers with solid colors that
are very attractive. There are those that have
flowers or a combination of different papers in
them. Whatever it is, a kind of paper that differs
from your colors in the design would make a world of
difference in the final outcome.
A variety of tints will create an illusion of many
colors. To create many colors from two colors,
experiment with a variety of tints. There are
roughly ten tints of every color available to you.
From 10% to 100%, all of them reflect a different
shade from each other.
Experiment with duotones. Duotones are photos
printed in two colors. One great idea is to create
subtle effects from sepia tones for posterized
looking pictures.
Reverse text from solid or tinted boxes. The
disadvantage is that reverses are hard to read, so
avoid using generously.
Rubber stamping for your next colors. With the
popularity of scrapbooks, rubber stamps have flooded
the market. Get very creative with rubber stamping.
However, this process can be time consuming.
A laser foil can do wonders. Foil can be used in
your laser printer to create different colors. You
can create a master copy on your inkjet, copy it,
and use the foil with a copier. Nevertheless, the
process of applying the foil and running it through
your printer can be very time consuming.
Stickers and/or colored or foil labels. Simple
designs can be very attractive when you use stickers
in gold foil of you could also print directly to the
labels. Then stick them afterwards in your printed
pieces.
Scissors with unusual edges can create simple die
cuts that can serve an attractive design to your
media.
