I could almost say that the month of June has been brought to you by words that start with B: Babies, Blueprints, Bleeds, and Black ink dominated the templates and tutorials this month but that wasn't all. But before we get into the new content on the site, I want to point out some note-worthy posts from the forum. Almost a year ago proSBZ lamented that the "Future of design looks bleak." If you're feeling that way, perhaps this discussion that focuses primarily on eBooks and Web design may encourage you. In May a new post says, in part, "Although technology empowers more readers and users to personalize their learning experience, the internet still need good designers to enforce proper design layout and typography to make sure the sites we create serve its purpose well." Have a different opinion? Share.
Earlier this month there was a request for identification of a script font that caught my eye. I agreed with member JArle about what the font is and I must say, it's quite beautiful. Check it out for yourself.
Now, let's break down what's new and what's updated in the month of June by topic, in alphabetical order:
Bleeds and Booklets
In part because of an oversight while doing a tutorial a few days earlier, I put together a tutorial on setting up bleeds in Microsoft Publisher. And while they may or may not have bleeds, there are several design considerations for booklets you'll need to know about including creep, imposition, and saddle-stitching.
Business Card Blueprints and Baby Announcements
In addition to updating this big list of Free Business Card Templates I did some Microsoft Publisher tutorials with a business card (& baby) theme accompanied by templates to download.
Business Matters
What's your opinion on crowdsourcing, especially for design services? Is it something you do or something you avoid? I've addressed what crowdsourcing means and the pros and cons and there's a poll awaiting your vote.
Color and Ink
There's more to selecting colors than just RGB and CMYK. This month we introduced you to HSV as a color model and the many shades of black ink you may encounter or need to use. And when printing many layers of ink, total ink coverage can become a concern.
Page Layout
In addition to those tips on booklets I mentioned, I've got some tips for you on designing calendars where you'll probably find columns. And when composing columns of text, watch out for those widows and orphans. And if you're thinking about doing letterpress printing, heed these design tips for letterpress.
There were more than just business card templates added or updated this month. Some of these are templates I created. Some are links to other sites with great templates. 
When working with color it's important to know whether you are thinking in paint colors or in computer colors. On the computer, the primary colors are red, green, and blue (RGB), but in paint or art color theory uses red, yellow, and blue (CMYK in print). These three colors are the primary colors, and along with white and black you can create all the colors imaginable. Color theory is a way of relating colors together that look nice and harmonize well together. If you understand color theory you'll be able to create designs that look good because the colors work well together. 
CSS is where you go to set the colors in your design, but there are many ways to do it. You can use color names, color numbers in RGB, hexadecimal colors, and even define your colors as a percentage of Hue, Saturation, and Lightness (
