Interview with Creative Honey

ByMarina September 15, 2016April 21, 2018

I had the best time being interviewed by Maria Bougioukos and Zachary R. Hill for their podcast Creative Honey! From their website:

“Both have a passion for design, art, and sharing the stories and the results of the creative endeavors that so many of us put forth into the world on a daily basis.”

I love talking about print, maybe too much! But when I am with designers I can’t help it. Your enthusiasm and passion for your craft and the tech part and the art part and the science part just gets me so excited! I swear, I am the most enthusiastic person on the planet when it comes to graphic design and print… and Maria and Zachary are the funnest to talk to. Their passion really comes through in the quality of their interviews and podcast. Check it out at the link below and definitely leave a comment! I want to know if you learned something that you didn’t know by listening to the podcast and if you have a story to share, please share!

ByMarina July 18, 2017April 21, 2018

One of the things designers worry about the most is being disappointed with how a print project turns out.

Designing Envelopes

ByMarina February 22, 2016April 21, 2018

Now that electronic document delivery is here to stay, your clients are probably ordering fewer envelopes. But they are still an important part of their stationery suite, and when used, make an impression by mail, messenger, FedEx, what-have-you. A blank envelope with a sticker is not professional in appearance nor does it accomplish branding objectives. Because…

DESIGNING CUSTOM ENVELOPES Through custom converting (making an envelope out of a flat printed sheet of paper) you can get an envelope of whatever size, paper, etc. you want, with a few caveats.

Color systems and models are the languages we use to classify, describe and render color. Like any industry, it is part of the jargon – the tech talk of graphic design. These models are important because they use a precise language to describe precisely how color should be rendered. You as a designer get…

How to Design for Large Format Printing

ByMarina September 1, 2016March 14, 2020

Unlike the toner-based digital printing processes, inkjet printing does not have as many pitfalls. However, it has a more limited selection of regular papers to coordinate with regular printing papers. Large-format printing is ideal for small business material or short-run items that a business would need for a trade show. Inkjet printing used to be…
