Before&After 

Who we are
Before & After magazine has been sharing its practical
approach to graphic design since 1990. Because our
modern world has made designers of us all (ready or not),
Before & After is dedicated to making graphic design
understandable, useful and even fun for everyone.

Our color wheel

This color wheel is a newly exanded version of the one
we use in Before & After magazine. It is a reference tool,
not an interactive product. Its purpose is to help you
understand how colors are related.

To add its colors to your swatches palette

in Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator or InDesign,*
download our Adobe Swatch Exchange (ASE)
file, then select one of the following from
the Swatches palette or Swatches panel menu:
• InDesign: Load Swatches
• Illustrator: Open Swatch Library: Other Library
• Photoshop: Load Swatches
From there, select the ASE file, and its colors will be
loaded into your swatches palette, ready to use.

To learn more about the

­color wheel’s basic con-
struction and use, go to
www.bamagazine.com and
look for article “0646 Our
color wheel.”
