Hello!

I picked up my first graphic design contract last night and I got right to work first thing this morning. I downloaded the image the client sent, resized it, added designs according to their specifications—the works.

Thing is, I have no idea what color mode to use. I know CMYK is standard for printing on paper, but is it the same universally? The client wants this design printed on beer glasses, T-shirts, coasters, and cocktail napkins. Would CMYK be the way to go? Would RGB be better for some and CMYK better for others?

Any help is greatly appreciated! Sorry if this isn't the right subreddit to ask this question, I'm still very new to this.
