Points essentiels
01
A magazine palette must never exceed 5 disciplined colors: 1 Dominant, 2 Structural, 1 Accent, 1 Neutral Canvas.
02
RGB gamuts shift dramatically in print; designing within calibrated CMYK spaces prevents devastating color loss.
03
A signature colorway ensures readers identify your publication from across an entire bookstore.
