Just a quick tip. I have just designed my new business cards and needed to ensure that the artwork was correctly set to the CMYK colour space needed by my printers.
There are two areas you need to check, ideally before you complete your work else there is probably gonna be some colour correction required.
- ‘Edit’ -> ‘Color Settings’ and ensure your working spaces and color management settings are setup correctly. If you are not sure about this, contact your printers.
- ‘Image’ -> ‘Mode’ ->’CMYK Color’.
Easy eh?

In the three years since I last redesigned benbishop.me.uk, my personal blog, there have been significant developments in web design. From CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) frameworks like The Blueprint, JavaScript library’s like jQuery to development WordPress themes like Sandbox, all have been designed to decrease development time from concept to implementation.
‘Refracted’ is the product of three years experience with commercial clients and the implementation of many of these techniques.
Design
I had the idea of the logo image in my head for a while and was quite determined to go with a light and vibrant design. Contrasting significantly with the previous ‘Satin’ theme, a light text on dark background theme, I wanted ‘Refracted’ to feel like a change from the old.
Fairly regularly, it seems recently, I have had to backup and restore my settings for Adobe Photoshop CS2. This isn’t the most straightforward process but is relatively painless if you know where to look. This process can be followed for most of Adobe’s apps but in this example we will backup and restore Photoshop CS2.
This ‘how to’ applies to Vista/XP.
Backup
- Exit Photoshop CS2.
- Ensure that you can see hidden files and folders.
- XP/Vista: From ‘folder options’ and the ‘View’ tab, select the radio button ‘Show hidden files and folders’.
