Business Cards and Spot Colors

Most businesses take their Business card very seriously, and go the extra step to make sure that their cards tell people not just who they are, but how good they are. Designing business cards is an important job, and some companies will hire only one designer and professional printer for all their business card needs.

One mark of high quality businesses--and high quality business cards, for that matter--is the use of spot color. These cards are printed using offset printing techniques. A "spot color" in offset printing is any color that is produced using a single run. Most often, four spot colors--cyan, magenta, yellow, and key (black)--are used to create various colors in the spot color technique. Sometimes, though, for business cards that need fine tints of colors, two more colors, orange and green, are added to the set, creating what is known as the hexachromatic process. Using these two additional colors in an expert way can create a number of catchy tints. The business cards of many large companies use such tints. Often, big businesses will copyright their spot colors. UPS has its brown spot color as a trademark, purple is the trademark of the Los Angeles Lakers, and Tide has orange. Other businesses may not use these spot colors on their cards.

Most business cards employ at least two colors. The text is often in one spot color, and the logo in another. Often, there are multiple colors. Although, it's important to remember that too many colors will mar the elegance of your business cards. When designing cards, the best designers will pick only a few colors. There are software packages that will help you choose your design by using a combination of the most appealing colors. With the advent of digital and batch printing, it has become easier than ever to print full color business cards.

Face painting

Yesterday we went to Zoe's first birthday party at Max's in SM Makati. It's my first time to drive PJ in Makati area, and I did it..lol! I was not familiar in Makati, so I brought some drivers irritation because I blocked their way turning right, I just ignored them...lol! Anyway, Nikko agreed to have his face painted.

Here's the finished product

Next time I'm planning to take PJ at SM MOA, as much as possible I am avoiding to drive in EDSA, I'm more comfortable in C3 and Roxas Boulevard routes.

Baked Mussels

When you're in town of Obando, you better try buying mussels and baked it. My kids especially my chubby Nikko liked it very much. Its very seldom I see bigger ones so when I saw these in the market I bought one and a half kilos, Nikko was asking me before why I never cooked baked tahong for so long.....the preparation was a little bit longer , that's why... LOL!But when they liked it, the hardwork was all worth it! Tomorrow is buttered shrimp day! Its yummier than these mussels!
