66 Amazing and Inspirational Print Ads
To tell you the truth we just picked a few adjectives we thought you might be looking for like amazing and inspirational when looking for design ideas. Truth is we like these and they have spurred us on at times and we thought we’d share. We could probably have also said these were outstanding, awesome, creative, award worthy, top notch print designs or any number of other things. We did the work of putting them in one spot. You get to spend less time looking. If the image seems small, click it, it might get bigger.

Common Design and Print Terms
Some folks we follow put together a list of common design and print terms you might want to know. We picked a few from their list but you can get the entire list via the link at the end of this post.
Bleed – Printing an image past where the final print will be trimmed, which allows color to extend all the way to the edges of the final print.
CMYK – Abbreviation for cyan, magenta, yellow and key (black), the four process colors.
High Res – Files which have a “high resolution” DPI or “dots per square inch” count.
PANTONE® Matching System (PMS) – Numbering system for identifying 3,000+ colors created through combinations of 14 primary color inks. The Pantone Company produces numerous color-matching systems for standard print and computer applications.
Pixelization – Process of enlarging image pixels to increase image size, resulting in jagged edges and blurry images.
TrueType – The most common format for fonts that work on both Mac OS and Microsoft Windows operating systems.
Vector Image – A computer image that uses geometrical primitives (such as points, lines, polygons and Bezier curves) to produce mathematical descriptions of paths for the graphic, which eliminates pixelization.
