## Customization Tips

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Replacing Logos" icon="image">
    **Best practices**:

    * **Use vector**: SVG or Figma vector shapes (not PNG)
    * **Maintain proportions**: Don't distort logo
    * **Check size**: Logos should be 0.5"-1" on business cards
    * **Color**: Match brand colors exactly (CMYK values)

    **Common mistake**: Using low-res PNG → Use vector or high-res image (300 DPI)
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Adjusting Colors" icon="palette">
    **Brand color application**:

    * **Document brand CMYK**: Get exact CMYK values from brand guidelines
    * **Update style guides**: Change in one place, updates all instances
    * **Check contrast**: Ensure readability (especially text on colored backgrounds)
    * **Proof colors**: Use soft proofing to preview print appearance

    **Tip**: Create color styles in Figma for consistency
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Typography Changes" icon="font">
    **Changing fonts**:

    * **Use brand fonts**: If specified in brand guidelines
    * **Embed-able fonts**: Ensure fonts can be embedded in PDF
    * **Size appropriately**: Business cards need minimum 7-8pt
    * **Maintain hierarchy**: Keep visual importance levels

    **Safe fonts**: Arial, Helvetica, Georgia, Times (universally embeddable)
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Layout Modifications" icon="pen-ruler">
    **Adjusting layout**:

    * **Respect safety zones**: Don't move content closer to edges
    * **Maintain balance**: Keep visual weight distributed
    * **Test readability**: Especially at final print size
    * **Preserve bleed**: Don't reduce bleed area

    **When in doubt**: Stick closer to original template layout
  </Accordion>
