Bleed - On a press, the artwork is printed on a large sheet of paper and then trimmed down to size. Providing bleed of at least1/8 of an inch from the edge of a page allows you to properly run artwork at the edge even if misalignment during cutting occurs.

Process colors - Also known as4-color process or CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black) is a print system of using four standard inks and mixing them on the press to create a wide spectrum of different colors.

Layers - In graphic design, layers are used to describe the different levels or layers at which you can place objects or design elements, wherein stacked together, creates or define your design as a whole.
