Color ready…
Keep attention grabbing color at your fingertips by stocking up on preprinted blanks. · Most newsletter nameplates don’t change from month to month. Have one or two years’ worth of empty newsletter “shells” preprinted in color then copy or offset print onto the shells each month. • Personnel and titles change frequently in some companies, and constantly ordering new business cards can get expensive. Work around this problem by having a common card (or series of cards) printed in color, then have each employee name imprinted. • If you business runs specials or provides coupons throughout the year, then preprinted 8 1/2 X 11 flyers could save you big money. Keep the layouts simple, just you logo, appropriate art, and a mortise, with plenty of space to add copied type. • Have color covers printed and folded in advance to house laser-printed, offset-printed, or photocopied annual reports, memos, presentation, manuals, and so on.

In focus…
Two important questions you should ask about a site are 1) Who is the target audience, and 2) What do I want this site to accomplish? The more you focus your site on its goals and the more precisely defined your target audience is, the more efficiently and effectively you can present the information. Without focus for design and content some features or information that would be valuable may be left out. Or, more likely, lots of unnecessary junk may be included. — Robin Williams, The Non-Designer's Web Book
