I have finally had the time to read through this series.

I am somewhere next to a medium designer and these articles helped me a lot.

Good thing they come to my countrymen

@TeeJay – thanks for the comment and the Twitter follow. It’s a good strategy not getting pissed just because somebody’s an amateur and pointing them to a place where they might improve. And if that place happens to be here, I feel honored!

I think the post states the obvious, but definitely a helpful reminder of how color should be applied to various design projects! I have came across so many print-designers that ignore the impact color makes to ANY design. If i come across anymore, instead of feeling mean and pointing it out myself, ill link them to this. Very well explained.

I didn’t provide any Pantone colors because the list was thought up with web designers in mind.
On the other hand, you could do an aproximation of the RGB values in Pantone

No pantone selection guides? In my case, most of my projects end up being printed as well so we select Pantones/RGB and all from the beginning.

Neah the “frenchies” actually helped. I used to just get pissed off whenever a client had some weirdo request. Now I kind of see it as a challenge: to actually do what the client wants but in such a way that it looks good. Harder than just plain being angry and doing a crappy job but much more rewarding in the end.
