Building From Scratch vs. Starting Here
Designing from scratch requires hours for grid alignment alone.
Many designers set up brochures in RGB because it looks correct on screen. When that file reaches an offset press the printer converts the colors automatically - and the result often shifts noticeably especially in darker tones.
This file uses CMYK values calibrated for print output which removes one of the most common sources of color mismatch between screen preview and final print run.
Teams often combine this with a tennis sports brochure for complete sets.
