I prefer to work in Adobe Photoshop in RGB Mode. RGB stands the primary colors of light which are Red, Green and Blue. When a book is printed the color mode that is used is CMYK. CMYK stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Key Color (which is Black). It is also referred to as process color. Process color cannot reproduce all of the colors of RGB. If I am not careful I can find that I have use colors that are outside of the CMYK gamut and will not print well. Here is a tutorial that can help by creating a RGB color pallet that is CMYK safe.

I am pleased to announce that my favorite bow tie company, Beau Ties Ltd. of Vermont, has licensed the Doodle Garden Bow Ties.

Stay Tuned for Availability
We are at the beginning of the process and I don’t know how long it will take but in the near future you can have your very own Doodle Garden Bow Tie (or long tie) exclusively from Beau Ties Ltd. of Vermont.
