|Five Steps to Better Color with Adobe Photoshop – color profiling
Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010 by Jeff Collins
Many designers and other Overnight Prints product users order from us because of our fantastic offset print color output. However, there are ways to ensure that you can better replicate the color that you see onscreen, with the print color output that you will receive from OvernightPrints.com. By adding and adjusting your Photoshop color profiles, you will more effectively recreate the onscreen version of your design.

ABOMINABLE FONT CHOICE! – My list of dreadful Typography!
Tuesday, February 9th, 2010 by Overnight Prints
Being a design and marketing professional for a fair few years now, I feel reasonably justified in presenting you with my personal list of truly dreadful fonts – such as Comic Sans!
Personally, I find these fonts utterly detestable and I cringe every time I see them being used. If you regularly use these fonts, or are using these fonts, then my advice is to STOP using them! I am not in the minority in my condemnation of these typographical eyesores!
