First, you need to know about your printing.
You need to ask yourself these question

• What is the size of your printing?
• This will effect a lot in arranging texts and design a layout [This is essential! This will make suck content into something more interesting]

• What kind of paper?
• Different kind of paper, different color of paper [ex. green read, glossy, A4, colored paper] resulted different effect. With the same design and color, printed in different paper, some part of your artwork will be a thing called 'disaster'

• Used color?
• CMYK or Black and White need to be decided before designing process
• Targeted Group & Content
• When you're going to design anything, you need to know the content. Content and artwork must go in the same direction.
