Around my house we say, “Merry Christmas” but maybe in your family or circle of loved ones you say happy holidays or some other seasonal greeting.

The Nativity story is a classic which needs to be updated to our day of computers, the Internet and social networks.

Thanks to Steve at SHIFT for sending this along.

Knockouts, overprinting, trapping and Adobe InDesign.

Recently, a client asked me to redesign a catalog cover using some pretty fancy printing processes. The layout and design was nothing new but I needed to be able to print a photo on the cover which did not knock-out the metallic ink fill behind the greyscale photo. I found this video which does a nice job explaining how to tweak InDesign trapping settings to do this.
