Checklist
Remember, if designing for print, set your workspace to 300dpi and at actual size to be used, or larger. Many people use higher resolutions, 600dpi for instance, but this is not necessary for general print purposes, and will not improve the final print quality.
If designing just for the web, then a 72dpi workspace is fine. However, it's always worth designing in a high resolution. That way, you'll always have a top-quality file available, should you need it.
Another thing to consider - if designing for print, then make sure 'Mode' is set for CMYK.
Insert > Mode > CMYK
Only use RGB mode if designing for the web, or if your project is being digitally produced.
