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

Awesome video. It’s very refreshing to see a tutorial in plain english. I’m only curious if you could make a tutorial on how to make a greeting card with bleeds and borders.
Keep up to a great job!!!

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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