How to Design a Business Card !!!

thereby this is grafted sarah blake
Overberg like that com helping you create something awesome today
says they were gonna talk about how you create a business card How to Design a Business Card !!! and bring his biz I've talked about why business cards are still very important
for marketing and branding yourself but today we're going to end up into how you
actually designed
affected business card I will be doing in Adobe InDesign and Adobe Illustrator
tutorial
on the actual making a business cards but this coming more
about the general idea in principle behind what a good business card
photos printed online its in the case of my business cards I did a two sided design
some people use one design on both sides the business card
I decide to create more emphasis on
the contact information on this side and keep designed very plain
versus on the other side I was much more are robust in terms of how much my work
I want to show
and I still have the contact information by I put the context what I have the
offer
as the priority and that's what I do
with these cards you think about what the relationship you want to build
is going to be with the person you're handing business card to
in my case I want people to contract my services as a graphic designer
so I handle business card that is usually what we're talking about
and the context that the situation there as a result
I like to hand them this side the business cards they can see some the
work that I can create
and the interesting design have my card and on the back
it's much easier for them to read the contact information
so that's why designed my business card that way
their changes I'm probably gonna make going towards my business cards just
because
the nature up the tab for relationships on building is shifting from
a focus on just graphic design to overall
brand development and marketing consulting with
graphic design kinda being the entry into that relationship
so there's another direction and that the take all my visual branding
wetherbee my
business cards my per fully all that I want to be consistent
and that the merely think about how I want to present myself going forward
and that's what you need to do when you design a business card need to think
about
how you present yourself their work
times where you would go to you an event
or to you a meeting in the suit there are other times when you can be more
casual or words more prepared to represent your brand
and we're young March need to think about what your business card is saying
about you
was communicating about you and the value that you have offer
and you really need to make that focal point how your design
understand that because you have a small service area to work with on your
business card
that the information you want to communicate is what you need to
prioritize
in terms as your contact information maybe it's your phone number
your website address in your email address but also
what do you have to offer don't be tempted to put along with your services
are business card they can find information on your website
where they can get that information from the conversation that they're having
with you
you don't need overwhelm them with text on your business cards
you keep is simple and straightforward and concise
as you possibly can there are different approaches and design styles for
business cards
and you can get fancy with that there are also other sizes like us to do in
the samples
that I got from some various printers but ultimately
business cards are there to not only convey information that's the main thing
a lot people bully business cards are dead because you could swap those
details I smartphone
but handing someone a business card and
the tangible nature of this business cards the fact that you handed to them
they can jim there's that they have one they say thank you when you hand them a
business card
there's a value to that experience and you
being able to give some I'll leave behind so don't underestimate that
in the agent digital this still has a role to play
when your business cards done you have to consider we're not she's in terms our
printer
also what type of card stock you want and how many
you want to print at a time is really important I usually don't like to do
small orders that local print shops would be more comfortable with also my
design
arm can be a little much for local printers so that's why use
online printers primarily if you are supporting local small businesses
I definitely respect and appreciate that understand that you want to really get a
lot of
is out love your business cards that in terms of the
are oh I return on investment need for the large amount business cards which
indeed giving away
probably no less than a hundred 200 business cards and weak
anti-personnel goes the conventions on a regular basis
maybe three or four times a year they need to have a large order run
me
to
business cards
that's what I had done so that I could go and I could
giveaway business cards to my heart's content and not worry about running out
so that is why would definitely recommend their Sep
to recap yet to think about the context the relationship and what you're
communicating
your business cards makes you have a great design that focuses on that
context and prioritize the information you want them to pay attention to you
that you get another business cards to build a handout to get the level a
business that you need to be successful
and you really just need to make sure that the business card
accurately represents you and your brand
away that you can stand in the gap for you not being there to explain it
or to do salesmanship your business card knees be able to do that
on its own without you there anyway I hope you guys enjoy this video if you

hello and welcome to this video tutorial don't hear from TGH dot com
in this video I'm going to discuss and demonstrate Create a business card in Adobe InDesign Ep7/15 [Multimedia design course - Print] !!! had to set up a simple business card Udupi InDesign
if you knew to InDesign I'll be taking you through all the details
and explaining all the things you need to be aware of when setting up a
document like this
later we will be exporting this document ready for print
so let's take a look at what we will be creating
to shoot is the business card design open the
print website design completely on looking this in preview mode
so if I press W we will enter into normal mode
and Hugh we can see all the guides and free outlines
saw know if you're new to this course wish to take a closer look at this
document
and get all the assets to build your business called you can
find it in the project folder remember you also need to install
all the fonts when you open the document but can also be found
in that project folder don't link is description
to previously in the course I spoke about my design process
and how I designed the composition in this video
I will also be referring to Mikes camp designed you can get
and understanding but the whole process to knit design
we can see we have two pages to the campus
we have the front at the back on the front
we have a solid background with the logo top oppressed W-two into preview mode
we can get a better look at that and if I come down
we concede the back the business card on the left we have the typesetting
on the right we have the brand motif if I press w/ to enter
normal mode you can see the composition excellent
to know I'm going to set up a new document
so we can't stop this from scratch before that
with the project food open navigate to the design process folder
in that I'm going to open the design process PDF
to shoot on my days for that
business card
and how it developed the idea we are going to create Indies
so in this occasion I'm going to go with the simple approach
placed on the go on the front and use the round booty from the back
so let's make a stop so in InDesign
I'm going to come up too far you and choose document
a full pot the new document met you switch from sure
we are going to specify document size: properties
Foose all set the intent to print
a set the number of pages
because all we want is a front and back
for now I'm going to leave the facing page is box checked
you'll see one shortly I'll start with page number one
and come and set the document size: know again
with the project folder open now
the project
assets folder that I'm going to open the project brief older
and open the brief document so in the brief
it specifies the dimensions of the business card we need to make the bases
college to

millimetres by
millimetres
to back in design I'll make sure the orientation is set in landscaped
and set the width to
millimetres a height
to you
millimetres for columns
I'm just going to leave that said to one I don't plan on including more than
one column in this design for the margins
just going to leave that as default for now and you will see
shortly next I'm going to toggle don't bleed
and slug now back in the brief document
it states that lead on all documents should be
3 millimeters to back in his own on Sat the Glee $
billion it is
on the top bottom inside and outside
great so once I'm happy with the composition
oppress okay upon click
we now have the new document set up no check out the current composition
the pages looking a little good right well that's because I left
facing pages checked document setup talk about to fall
pic document sector and check facing pages click OK
and no they are nicely above each other knots separate press w/ repeatedly
on the keyboard we can toggle between preview normal mode
now in normal mode if you cannot see all guides simply press Command cool
so in normal mode the redline around outlined
represents the bleed and the magenta lines on
inside represented margin Uncommon Goods
later will become to export the document
you will see how the beat comes to play to now
I am in normal mode the document is ready and we can start
composing the design elements before that if I come back to the brief
document
it states on the print instructions docked for the business card
we will need to set this to be printed using pantone colors
okay so before we start to build the design elements
we need to make sure we have the correct pantone colors ready to apply to the
design
so with the project folder opened love the gate to the project assets folder
in that open the branding folder and open the brand document
so here we are now in Adobe industry to
with the branding document was originally composed here we can clearly
see the Pantone Color references
to know I'm going to take the Pantone references and get the colors
be InDesign to to make this real easy I'm going to select the type
that states the Pantone says a copy
come into InDesign and just paste at a glance I can see the pan to
references great so InDesign
I'll come over to the swatches panel if you cannot see yours
you can come to window slowdown and activity swatches
there so I'll come up to the top right with a little menu icon
from the menu I'll select new color swatch
up up up the menu so from the color mode
I'll click and look for the Huntoon solid coated
option a select that and then in the Pantone box
I look over tonight reference in the campus area and type in the shoes
swatch fall story
when that appears on make sure its elected and kick
had and just like that we have to do you plan to swatch
swatches panel ready to use now we still have to do you come a swatch many books
open so I'll go ahead and type in the next watch
full to full then click bad

as you will too had
and lastly


I had and click Done just like that
we now have the full pantone colors document
so with the selection to a click the reference
in the campus area and press backspace to remove them
to tidy up my swatches panel on select the top swatch
I will not use press and hold SHIFT and select the lost
just above the first Punto and click the Delete icon but the bot
the panel said no we can see all that colors we will to use
perfect to know I'm ready go to store
the base the business card if we look
the finished design the background on both is the doc
way to to make this real easy in my new document
good to come over to the master pages in the pages panel
said looking at the pages panel we can see a visual representation of the
document
set up yet and just about this is the master pages
I'll come up to a most two-page and double click on this
a poll click we will see the master page
in this case the most to spread somos two pages
Lois to place design in the band's into them
in a single instance
we can then apply the most the pages to multiple pages
inside to me document this can save us time
duplicating endowments and updating Adams also this computer helpful
when naming pages more on that later most two pages
vital for and efficient and streamlined workflow
one of the main benefits of using design
print okay so here I'm going to come over to the menu
and select the rectangle to and Drug a box to cover the campus
area the page notice how I stopped from the
age of the BET in the top left and drug down to the bleed
the bottom right so with the new box
going to come over to the menu at the bottom makes you the fill color
is set to the doc great Pantone by selecting it
swatches many easy the last thing
I'm going to D is select the box notice how we can see the square point around
the time to box
so these are indicating the center and middle points
so our press command all acted clueless
around the campus yet and I'll click out a kite from the left
but I'll drag it across in the pic sport like so
I now drag another from the top down in the peaceful
area so the apt defines the center
middle point lined nice once I'm happy with the box
are coming to the page display in the pages panel
I double click on page one this will just exit the master page
notice now a background is applied to both the front
Backpage now if we look closely at the page display
in the pages panel and look at the pages we can see the on the display
we have the letter assigned to each page this means
that particular master page is applied more on that later
to know we have the back room setup let's
get the logo and so for this I'm going to jump back into the branding document
and select the logo that is set on the dock great background
no currently in Illustrator this is a group called individual
Dec shapes that's been grouped together
with the logo selected a copy command InDesign
and press Command the to paste and that is the logo
no because in design works with back to Sheetz
the vectors from industry to will be compatible with InDesign
so the logo will carry across perfectly nice
so I'll dragged into the center online data
perfectly press w/ to take a look previewed
to currently that logo is looking a little too big on the campus area
so with that selected oppressed by most cosa over the bottom right point
on the bounding box a press and hold SHIFT and
alt and click and drag in a little to get a more considered composition
I'll Chris W to make sure the new is Center
a press W and that's looking great
it now we have a problem if we take
a look over the swatches panel we can see be have some news
watches here we have some CMYK swatches
how did they get that well when we pasted the logo from the branding
document
it carried the swatches across because the fact is we set up
CMYK it document know this is easy to fix
no bear in mind the colors applied to logo
on OC im Kate we do not want that
we need them all sect panto so
over the swatches panel houses I'm simply going to remove the sea in my
case watches
and replace them with the panto so I'll stop at the blue sea in my case watch
so I'll selected right click and delete
now upon trying to delete it in design will say
hang on a second you have design elements in the campus area
with this color: if you deleted you need to replace the cup
so from the defining swatch I will select the blue Pantone
I wish to replace it upon clicking OK
the same week a swatch will be removed and the design element in the campus
area that was previously filled with seem like a swatch
will now be filled with the Pantone swatch very convenient
so I'll do the same for the rest of the CMYK swatches
I'll delete them and replace them with the right Pantone Color
soon I have my logo sect the crap Pantone's
and DC my case watches removed so that finishes the composition for the cover
so moving on to the back here we are going to place the type

at might design process document I decided to place the type on the left
and have some stroke behind right with the Patton
select Set this up so back in InDesign

Ten Business Card Template for GIMP: Full Tutorial !!!

I'm
love I'm the camp and today we're going to work with a template
which I've created especially for the chem program Ten Business Card Template for GIMP: Full Tutorial !!! gonna start by picking it up
at my website which is the
Kim went dot Word Press
dot com I'm
go to the homepage go to the right hand side menu
and picked the template set up for business cards
I'm camp
online digital printing and

scroll down I'm
you can come back later and read all the details but for now just go down
tourism template the first one is

looks a little lopsided but it will print
evenly and the second one is for the later version of gimps the

and it is evenly centered and it will print
even this enzyme
now click onto the template but left click
don't right click left click and then right-click
and click Copy I don't worry a copy is safe in the hands of your monks
and we're going to go on now
to camp this is to point
8 but these templates will work equally well with

now we're going to go up
to file click on File
and then choose new this will pull up
this little dialogue and you will choose
the US letter-size
don't choose the default I'm
and that will pull up this now
click on to edit I'm
and then choose pieced I'm
and there's your template ready to file
and to fill with your business cards
pot of gold at the end of the rainbow
okay now we come to the second part of this tutorial
which is positioning your gift cards into the template
not pull up your template
and go to File and download your business cards
hopefully you've created them in the correct
format which is

by
pixels when you don't know them they're gonna look huge
but they will fit into your template perfectly because we've counted the pics
so click onto edit
and then click Copy I'm
now move over to your template click edit
and click he just I'm
I don't forget to left click on your move to
otherwise you're not going to be able to move your card which is what we're gonna
do next we're gonna move
up and position it just under the top guideline
don't cover the center line now we're going to expand the size of your canvas
to about
percent and it'll be easy to work with
click on at and
paste don't click anymore copy we finish with copy it's now going to be pieced
me
now we're gonna click on another edit I'm and another paste
I'm now this cars were going to be very careful to keep our center line
intact we're gonna patient right over the
horizontal line now continue
pasting into you have
cards in position
now you can remove the guidelines by using the bucket fill
I've used this blue-collar for demo purposes only
normally no print on white or color cardstock
so you'll use white to that race the centerlines
very careful here that you choose the
white and then go up to the bucket fill
pick up your bucket and carry it to the center line be very careful to position
it correctly
click and you have removed that center guideline
now the neat thing about this
is I position this so that you still have your RAM
cutting lines left intact now remember that one
is transparent when you print anything in a graphics program
so your bucket filling a black line with white
makes transparent it's not advisable to print a background color
just use your colored cardstock
okay now we're going to trim and cut you cards
we use a standard home
guillotine or cutter
I K she cards have not printed centric we're going to follow my
guidelines so were divided into
following that center guideline now you have two pieces
so the next step
is we're going to cut half an inch
from the top and the bottom each piece
now this is a tricky part cut the card

as size, embedded fonts, resolution
and bleeds.
brochure printing services Once your artwork passes this review, your job is passed on to pre-press.
The pre-press technician's job is
to assemble orders for maximum printing efficiency.
Yours as well as multiple customer's
jobs are grouped together for
properties such as paper stock,
size, quantity and processing options.
Several customers orders are placed
into a single group for greatest efficiency.
Once assembled, the jobs are sent to plating.
Here, the plate maker sends
each job to a thermal infrared imaging machine.
Aluminum plates containing an
infrared-sensitive emulsion load into
the plate setter where it wraps around the imaging drum.
The drum spins at a dizzying

RPM's, as an infrared
laser exposes an image onto the plate.
From there the now exposed
aluminum plate moves to the processor,
a four step treatment
is applied, developer chemical, water,
buffing, and gumming for further scratch protection.
A plate for each
color in the CNYP profile
are printed for transfer to
the press.
PrintPlace utilizes three
Komori offset printing presses for all of our printing.
Maxed out, the Komori press
can print a stunning
sheets per hour.
The pressman takes the aluminum
plates and hangs them
on ink units of each corresponding color.
Blank sheets are fed from the back of the machine.
A series of conveyers and
rollers rapidly shoot each
sheet under cyan, magenta, yellow and black ink units.
The rollers evenly distribute ink
to the plates, which offsets the
ink to a blanket roller,
that in turn, applies ink to the paper.
Coated sheets are then fed
through our aqueous coating unit
and run across heating elements for drying.
Every few hundred sheets, the pressman pulls a sheet for analysis.
He scans a color bar along the bottom edge edge for color accuracy.
Visual inspection is also needed to check for highest quality.
After printing, the sheets moved to the cutter.
A large industrial cutting machine slices up to
sheets.
Each job is then separated
for transfer to their particular finishing processes.
Your business card's once sliced
are still attached in columns that are four high.
As a finishing step, the cards
are loaded into a slitter, where
sets of rotary knives separate them.
The result, a
high quality, quick-turn business card ready to ship to your door.

in fact we just created a simple slide and then we use that to create a
business cat would you like to see him to do it
this is really so easy look I'm going to show you the prices
first and then you can decide whether you want to watch the rest to the video
full color printing it's not going to be a long day at
to see how to do it and that why I am NOT wasting a time if you're not
interested but
this is really really simple all you do is create one
sloughed like this and then
simply once that sucks slide is created you export it is in the image:
and then imported into it I'd now I'm and show you how to do that step by step
once once I slide is created
you can just simply go to the design 10 and scroll across
and she's different designs that will affect
and give you your business cards and that's all I did
the holidays business cards you saw I just inside new images
with that different styles to create you cuts
with a show you how to do it this graduate together
so here we have a blank slide this is well against a

to be the same aspect ratio is your business con
business cards in this trial you I am at nine centimeters by
centimeters
now what you need to do is well you're on the design tedisco either too tight

Create a Print Ready Business Card in Adobe Illustrator from Start to Finish !!!

English English
Hi thanks again for watching OneMinuteDigital.com. Today is a little bit longer tutorial today
for those of you who are interested in learning how to design and save your file for a printer
a business card. And I'm going to be working a little bit in Photoshop but mostly in Illustrator Create a Print Ready Business Card in Adobe Illustrator from Start to Finish !!! to show you how to prepare your card. You have a business, you need a business card
- maybe you don't have a logo yet - but you can still make a really nice looking business
card with just a photo and a little bit of type manipulation. So the few things that
I want you to keep in mind are are here on the screen. Use a high resolution image that's

dpi or more for your printed card. And make sure it's CMYK. Outline your fonts, make
sure to add bleed if it's a full bleed image, and don't use more than
order business cards fonts, that's
more of a design tip than printing. But these are the things that printers will look for
and if you don't have the files prepared correctly they're going to ask you to redo them, resend
them, or they're going to fix them the way they think they should be done. So here we
go, from start to finish we're going to design a business card and get it ready for print.
OK, first thing, in Adobe Illustrator go to File > New. And you have the option here for
number of artboards. We can have as many as we want, we only need
front and the back of the business card. Your files size is going to be
x
business card size is
x 2 but when they have bleed they need to be a little bit bigger
so that the edge as you can see here gets cut off. And the artwork needs to go all the
way to the edge so that when they're cutting if it doesn't go all the way to the edge you
might have a white line at the edge which looks really, really bad. So we want to make
sure our files size is a little bit bigger than the actual printed size. Say OK and now
we have two artboards. The front of the business card and the back. IF you go to Window > Artboards
you can see them here, Artboard 1 and Artboard
Now for the front of the business card we're going to use a photograph, that cupcake photo
that I showed you in the earlier screen. Let's open up that image. I downloaded that image,
the cupcake image, from morguefile.com, it's a great place for free stock photos. So let's
go ahead and open that image that I got. It was a jpeg. And here it is it's a cute little
image. If you go to Image > Size you can see it's
inches wide by
high but it's only

dpi. For printing, the resolution of your Photoshop images needs to be
dpi, there's
no ifs ands or buts about it you need to have a high resolution image for that. So, making
sure none of these options here are checked, go ahead and highlight that
and change
it to 300. And you can see the width and the height changed, it went down to about

now instead of that huge image. It's going to make it smaller, but that's still much
much bigger than we need for a business card. So say OK. Now go to Image > Mode and change
it from RGB to CMYK, that's what it needs to be for printing, Say OK, and now we're
going to Save it, Save As, and I'm going to call this cupcakes and save it as a TIF file,
this is the best to use for printing. I mean if you saved it as a Photoshop or as a jpeg
it's really not the end of the world but you really need to save it as a TIFF for printing.
So now it's cupcakes.tif and save it. OK, so we're done with that one going back to
Illustrator: Let's place our image that we want to use first off so you're on the first
artboard which is Artboard #1 the front of the card. Let's move it over. Go to File > Place.
Now search wherever it is on your desktop in a folder where you just saved that photo.
It's cupcakes.tif - Place. And see, it's much much bigger than we need and it's a high resolution
image so it's great. So let's, Holding down Shift, click on the corner and drag that down,
until it's about the size of our business card. Now the next thing we need to talk about
is BLEED. This document is sized a little bit bigger than a business card, remember?
It's
x 2.125. What you should do as you're working is click on your Rectangle
Tool here, click anywhere on the artboard and make a
x
OK. Now using your Selection Tool, move that right into the center of your business card.
Go down here to your Swatches palate, click on the white part here and click on this red
slash that's going to get rid of the white part of that rectangle, and just leave you
that stroke, the black outline. I want that there because I want you to see how big you
have to make your image so that it bleeds outside of the business card because it's
going to be cut there, and if we don't have our image extending all the way, when it cuts
it could leave a white line at the edge, you don't want to do that. So you need to make
sure that you see the area that you're working with, that you can't go outside this area
with your type or your picture and that's really going to help you later. So put that
in the center, now Copy that:Edit > Copy and Edit > Paste And the new one, just grab it
and move it over to your second artboard so we have that there as well when we work on
the back. So this is the bleed area outside of this black rectangle. Okay, so we have
our image, we have our rectangles here. Now we need to design the rest of our business
card. So let's just say the name of this company is One Minute Bakery. Just use your Type tool
and type it. Get your selection tool, grab it, bring it down. And let's pick a nice font
for that, so go to Window > Type > Character. If you use this window, when you click on
the name of the font you'll get a preview of all the fonts in the actual style that
the font is in. If you go up to here, the character palate on your toolbar, it does
not show you a preview, so that's kind of boring. You don't get to see what it's going
to look like. So if you click on your word, go over to your Character palate, and then
you can play with it and see what they look like before it changes. It helps you decide
what font to use. So I'm going to go ahead and use Pacifico. And now, Holding down Shift,
hover over it til you get those arrows and pull it out til it gets to be the size you
want. I think that looks good: One Minute Bakery. Now let's have a tagline for our business.
How about, just using the type tool, click anywhere, here is fine, let's call it - just
start typing, it doesn't matter - "Cupcakes on the Go." Now I assume you have all of your
words written, I'm just sort of making this up as we go along. Now for the tagline we
don't need it to be in the same fonts as the logotype, so lets select that and go over
again here to our Character palate. If it's gone, make sure you go to Window > Type > Character.
But it is here, and let's change that to a little bit easier to read font for smaller
type. How about I like Arial, where is Arial, where are you where are you...Arial Narrow
and Italic. That's going to be our tagline. We're going to put that under neath. I think
it's a little bit big, let's make it smaller. Up here in the tool bar you can just go ahead
and click the arrow down until it gets to be a good size for a tagline. Then just grab
it and move it over there, it looks pretty good. Now, go over back to your Type Tool
and click and drag, make a nice box here. Now you;'re just going to start typing all
your information, you probably have this all ready, I'm just going to make this up. Joan
Smith is the Owner, and the phone number is area code
joan@onemintebakery.com and the website is www.oneminutedigital.com and the address is

Main St. if you hit Option and the number
Yourtown USA 12345. So now we have all of the information that we need in our business
card. So you still have this selected and now it's time for a little bit of styling.
I think this is a little bit big for the textbox, we're going to go ahead and make that smaller
so just hover over there, select that bottom address and lets make that maybe
and that should fit very nicely, maybe even
go below 7 points, that's too small. Now, I think it all fits but let's start at the
top. So, One Minute Bakery. It looks okay in black but maybe we want it pink to match
the color in this photo. So, over here on yout Toolbar go find your Eyedropper tool,
it looks like the little eyedropper and anywhere you select in here it's going to sample that
color. Here's the brown of the chocolate, the white of the coconut, and the pink of
the tablecloth underneath it. I think that looks good for the logotype. So there we go
we have One Minute Bakery, it almost looks like a logo. And when you center it, keep
in mind you're not centering it to this edge because this edge is going to be cut off.
You want to center it in this rectangle here to the edge of your photo. So give it a good
amount of space between and it looks good. How about the tag line?Cupcakes on the Go.
I think it maybe should be grey, so double-click on your fill palate with it highlighted. Pick
a nice grey color and that looks good. Maybe make it a little bit bigger. With that selected,
Hold down Shift and drag this out and that looks a little bit bigger it stands out a
little bit. It's different from the main type and it looks like a tagline. How about, though,
if we make that all caps. Let's go to Type >Change Case > Upper Case. I like it better
in all caps but maybe not so big so Holding down Shift, move that again and there we go,
there's our tagline. Now let's style the rest of it. It's a little too close to the top,
let's move it down a little bit. Let's highlight Joan Smith and let's make it the same as the
tagline. So using your eyedropper tool again with that highlighted just select that and
it's going to go ahead and change it to the same font size and color as the one you just
selected. I like that but maybe we should make it bold. So it's Arial Narrow Italic,
we're going to make it Bold Italic. And maybe
for Owner that's find underneath. Phone number let's give it a little bit of space. So go
ahead and highlight that, go over to your Character palate, and this is your Leading
setting here the 2 A's on top of each other, just give it a little bit of space, click
the arrow up, up, up maybe three times is fine and also with the address. Let's go ahead
and select that go over here to your Leading and up, up, up. Just separates thise a little
bit, give it a little bit of breathing room. Now kind of make sure it's centered. Move
it where you want it. I think that looks really nice. There we go for the front. Okay, so
moving to the back just hold down your spacebar, get your little hand and move it over so you
can work with it here. I think we're going to make the background pink for this one.
A full bleed pink card. So using your rectangular tool, just click and drag, it doesn't matter
how far out you go but you only need to go about that far. Using your eyedropper, select
that pink area again and go to Object > Arrange > Send to Back. Okay, now there;'s our area,
our pink area full bleed all the way to the edge. Now what are we going to put on the
back? That's up to you, I'm going to go ahead and make something up. So, using your type
tool click and drag and we're going to say: Best Cupcakes in Town, Open
and Visit our website: www.oneminutedigital.com. Now we have all this formatted to flush Left.
We want to make it Centered so with all this still selected just use your selection tool
the Black Arrow, go up to the top here. You can see there is Flush Left, Centered and
Flush Right. You want to make it Centered. And now if you hover over this bar and you
drag it all the way to the edge it will make sure that it is in exactly the center. I Think
we can make that a little bit bigger. Here in the Character Palate increase the Leading
also give it more space between the lines and I think we'll go ahead and highlight this
website address and over here on our color palate let's make that white. So that pops
out. Now this is the same font that we used for our information over here, our Owner information.
It's a good design tip is don't use too many fonts. I know it's tempting to go ahead and
use every font you have in your character palate but it looks really nice and professional
when you only use one or two fonts and so what we have is the entire thing is in this
Arial Narrow except for this logotype which is in Pacifico. And I think that looks pretty
good. Now we have the front and the back. So what you do to get this ready for print,
is first thing: Delete these rectangles that you made. Just select them, delete, select,
delete, because you don't need them to be there. Otherwise they will print so make sure
you get rid of those. Now we're going to Select All which is Command A or File, I don't know
I use key commands so much I don't remember, so Select All, command A and that selects
everything. Now go to Type > Create Outlines. That makes turns them from fonts into graphics
so now there are no fonts embedded any more it has changed them to a graphic. Now we want
to go to Window >Links. and it shows you any links you have in your file. In this case
we only have one image that is linked here that was not created in Illustrator. It was
created in Photoshop and linked here. We need to embed that image because we're going to
send it to a printer who doesn't have this on his desktop, he only has it in the file.
So on your Links palate click on this little arrow up at the top and say "Embed Image"
and that's going to make sure that image stays in there forever and never leaves. Okay, now
we have it, let's go ahead and Save it - sorry, too many key commands - File > Save As and
let's call this buscardPRINT. Save it as a pdf and save it where you want it. Now here
in Illustrator in the Adobe pdf preset, you want to click there and select Press Quality.
Uncheck Optimize for fast web preview but leave preserve Illustrator editing capabilities
checked just in case your printer needs to in and move something you just never know
when you're going to have to do something and if this is checked they will be able to
do that. Under Compression make sure it is not downsampled. Check do not downsample.
We wnat to make sure it stays at high resolution and say Save pdf. And now if we open it in
Adobe Acrobat we open that bcardPrint, there it is our beautiful high resolution image
and if you look here in your page thumbnails it is not one but two files, front and back.
And this file is absolutely print-ready, CMYK, Outlined Fonts, Embedded Images, and it's
ready to send to your printer. And that really is the best way to do it to do a full color
business card. One thing I didn't mention is that you should always save a copy of your
layered file before you do all the outlining and embedding. So make sure to save a copy
as a layered file. So if I Command Z undo, undo, undo, we can do File > Save As > and
call it buscardLAYERED, just to save a copy that you can go in and easily edit and keep
that as an Adobe Illustrator fiel and save that (.ai) in your folder just is case your
phone number changes later or something changes and we have to go in and edit it, we don't
have to retype everything. So there you go, that is the best way to get your files print-ready
and printed. I hope this was helpful, I know it was a long one for me but thanks so much
for watching and until next time, bye-bye. *** ***
