I love it when a plan works
In mid-December, I flew to Indiana to attend the press check for my book, CMYK 2.0. It was the culmination of 8 months of collaborative work involving the editorial and design folks at Peachpit Press; the customer service and prepress folks at Courier; my own personal digital shaman, Kevin DeP; my wife and partner in crime; and, of course, me. The book was printed by Courier Press in Kendallville.
The pressure was on. This is a book about C, M, Y, and K, for crying out loud. If the book didn’t look great, it would kind of shoot the idea that the author knows anything about preparing files for press. And boy, would my editor be pissed. Holy Histogram, Colorman! Better get it right!! Read more

Let's talk about CMYK
Does your organization represent photographers, designers, or printers? Or, for that matter, prepress jocks, production managers, or digital assistants?
I'm available to give presentations and lead workshops on how to move from just-don't-know to two-point-oh.
