Create a Large, Mono-Color Background

If you have ever wanted to add an interesting background to the cover of a brochure or a Web page, this technique works great. Using a full-color image to fill an entire background would normally require a four-color process, which is costly, and for Web pages it would normally result in a file that’s too large for Web viewing.

In this project, you create a monochromatic background that will result in lower printing costs and a smaller file size.
