| Positive v. Negative Artwork |
| On the artwork that you submit, be sure to specify whether the black areas in the artwork should be black in the finished gobo (positive artwork) or whether the black areas in the artwork should be white/clear in the finished gobo. |

| Black Background v. White/Clear Background |
| Be sure to indicate whether your design should be set against a white background or a black background. For the best projection, Rosco recommends a black background because it helps to increase perceived contrast and color saturation. |

| Outlined Artwork |
| If the design you create has an outline (that matches the background of the gobo), please indicate whether the gobo should include this outline element or not. |

| Rectangular Artwork into Circular Gobos |
| Many designs are submitted to Rosco as rectangles. Of course, a gobo is round, and has a round projection area. In the case of photographic designs, you must specify whether your projection should be the rectangle shape you submit (with black around it to define the shape) or whether you want Rosco's graphic artists to "cut" a circular image area out of the design. |
