So at 3:53, where you show your back round image, when the card is cut will the end points to those 2 gold shapes be seen or will they be cut off? Also, why do you recommend a vector program? If you make the image 300dpi it won't matter right?

[sacdigital]

@ukballer1012 They will be cut off. And a vector program makes a huge difference when it comes to printing. Vector will print sharper than an image. Anti-aliasing is terrible for printing.

Can anyone answer this question do I really need to do it as CMYK or RGB what's the difference and do I have to save it as jpeg or tif which one would be more professional? Pls Help

tanx!

If you hold shift while dragging your guides they will snap to your 1/8th inch ruler marks. Just a tip since I saw you fidget with them in your video.

Very nice video

[snowdancer]

Some shops have their biz card jobs printed with photo printers, especially for photo style biz cards. Ask your printer what he wants for photo biz cards: RGB or CMYK. My printer wants RGB with 1/8" bleed.

nice job

[MrSuppersready]

RGB instead of CMYK ??? Photoshop instead of illustrator ??? Strange !!!

[ladyinvestigator]

@MrSuppersready the size is fixed so it's not necessary the vectors!

[sanjak]

very very instructional and useful. i've lost lots of marks in assignments because I didn't know how to do it (teacher's terms are always "Use bleed area, trim line, and safe zone, 1/8 each") So thanks again.

[Ssabidinho]

how about printing? can u make a tutorial about that?

[DJSoftwareforDJs]

Great Job!

[Akula04]

you went for rgb instead of cmyk? Care to explain.

[dcmedia2]

I thought I was the only one who noticed that.

[MrCroft1983]

well... i think I know why he went for RGB... or at least why I usually go for RGB : when working in CMYK, you can't use the Filter Gallery, you're limited to just some of the filters in the filter menu. And I use at least 2-3 of the filters for some effects when I work on a business card (one ex: to create some paper texture etc.)

So... I can only choose RGB :(

[Smolleyy]

Great tutorial, i am making a businesscard right now.

My copyshop says he wants the businesscard multiple on a A4 paper, How do i set up the cards on a A4 paper with the bleeds etc..THANK YOU

[lechrous]

arent the color mode supposed to be cmyk instead of rgb?

[dpsage]

i was thinking the same thing. for print colours should be in CMYK

[richpickins]

thank you!!!

[Aprendizzz2009]

Thanks for a very professional video-tutorial. I need to upload an already designed image to photoshop or illustrator (*.ia *.jpg *.eps) and edit the info inthere with my name, address, etc. for a business card. Could you please tell me how to do it? All tutorial I have found begin from zero, and I have the card already designed, all I get to do is edit it. Thanks a lot for your answer.

[sacdigital]

If it's a flattened image there is not much to edit. You would need to erase out what was there and re-type it. If it were me I would import the old card to InDesign as the background and re-create the whole thing in InDesign using the old one as a guide. Once finished you will have a clean editable file that outputs nicely to a PDF for printing and handles bleeds naively.

[dynesh]

thanks for the tutorial, really helps.

[TheChadslagter]

good tutorial. thanks for the help with the cut and safety margin line explanations

[120mar12]

[cecart]

Thanks so much :)

[mailocam]

great tutorial .... give me templates busniss card pleas

[robdb78]

are you not suppose to be working in cmyk?, not rgb.

[sacdigital]

Ah. Good catch. Being in CMYK is important but in all reality you shouldn't be using Photoshop to create a business card in the first place. Use it to edit photos then place those photos in to InDesign. Making a business card in cmyk doesn't help the output really when you are using a flattened raster image. What will make a noticeable difference is using a vector program like InDesign and InDesign is CMYK by default.

[Koolkeithmathew]

@robdb78 HAHA

I noticed that too.

[qlogic2002]

@robdb78

that's only if you plan on printing on a 4 color press... no need to work in CMYK when you are printing on a home printer.

[69krazykid69]

how do you save the margins though?

[miavonni]

good question big ballz !!

[onsproductionz]
