MAC Illustrator Workshop.

Swatches. In the workshop we were shown how to start from scratch and make your own swatches for your design.

Below shows how we created our own swatches then made them a 'Global' swatch.

Once the colour is a global swatch it allowed you to not changed the colour itself just change the tones.

Swatches - double click - tick Global - Make tints.

Also when printing we were told that if you sent your piece of work to the printers with a list of the pantone colour references, you could then use a pantone colour not on the list to select sections on your work of which you would want spot varnishing. And just make sure to let the printer know that that specific colour is for spot varnishing.

Also if you wanted a cmyk reading of a spot colour you can:

colour groups - colour guide - edit colours.
