Print and Design Considerations

• Bright colours appear more muted due to the background tone
• Minimalist layouts often achieve the best results
• Simple typography and clean branding enhance readability

Because the material plays a visible role in the final look, designs are often kept simple and considered rather than heavily detailed.
