Use a high-contrast color scheme
Creating pleasing contrasts is essential in design, as it can make all the difference in the final result. To ensure that your board book colors pop, we suggest following the general rule of using dark font colors on light backgrounds or light font colors on dark backgrounds. Avoid using dark font colors on dark backgrounds, as it may make reading more difficult. Additionally, keep in mind that the brightness of your screen can affect the appearance of colors. Therefore, it's essential to choose the right shades with the final printed outcome in mind.

Consistency
Maintaining consistency is crucial in designing a professional-looking picture book. To achieve this, it's recommended to use a single font, font size, and color scheme throughout each spread. This approach will make it easy for readers to follow the design without feeling overwhelmed or confused. It's also important to choose a font that is easy to read to ensure the best reading experience for your audience.
Image Quality
To ensure high-quality images, we advise submitting images with a minimum of 300 dots per inch (dpi) or higher. If you're using a smartphone to take pictures, make sure to use the original image instead of compressed versions to achieve the best results. By following these guidelines, you can ensure that your submitted images are of the highest quality possible.
