Technical Considerations When Creating Graphics
Color Model
When you are creating computer graphics, you must choose a color model, or color range. A color model tells devices using your graphic how to show the colors you selected for your design. The two most important color models are RGB and CMYK: RGB, which stands for red, green, and blue, is used to display color on scanners, digital cameras, and computer monitors. In addition, desktop, digital, and other printers usually print RGB images without problem. In most day-to-day personal, academic, and business applications, RGB is typically used because it’s the most common color range in the digital space. CMYK, which stands for cyan (blue-green), magenta, yellow, and black, is used in commercial offset, four-color printing. When your end product is going to be printed in this manner, graphics must be created as (or converted from RGB to) CMYK images.
