Print Services Comparison: Which Website Makes the Best Prints? !!!

we ordered eight by ten prince from ten different web sites and in this video
we're gonna tell you
which ones are the best and which ones were not so Print Services Comparison: Which Website Makes the Best Prints? !!! great this video is made possible by fracture
fracture prints or photos and David colored directly to class
it the picture frame and mount Paul and one
to get your photo printed on bosko to fracture me dot com
and use the coupon code Chelsea or Tony
to get fifteen-percent of but you should use the coupon code
Chelsea because there's a competition
printed new address cards and the guy fractured told me that I'm winning we all might change again
back use the name of the person that you feel like has the most
camera trivia story in their head you should use
the name and the person that is the cutest
or tallest am and earliest
him thank you and now on yeah
something to say regarding conflict of interest fractured does not
make a by
friends like these that were you make glass prints only they're
very specialized they're not included in this competition
that would be biased right but they are making this video possible
and they're good option so
why not print at home we definitely
tried printing at home for an extended period time with model different
printers
but I always found was the different and have been more expensive because
Inc for printers is expensive but also
I with your hit rate on printing at home they had to print everything like two or
three times a year or less thing is I've never had one of those really large
expensive
professional printers but the thousands of dollars yeah
and then take a lot of space I mostly the Internet archival you there so you
make a present if I get a right and then you hang onto onto your letter will be
updated
printing sending out to an Internet service providers also this problems the
prints are higher quality
they last longer and you don't have to pay for your scrubs
so for that reason which is always send out our stuff we gave up on printing at
home
and I that's right how most people do too but about one hour photo services
the terrible writer just just always pretty bad
we didn't include any of those and this review but we have done them before an
appendage
your and they we haven't had I have much luck
right well anyone are printing service has the printer on
site so when you go to Walmart or the pharmacy or whatever there is using the
whole
printer there is being run by whoever happens to work there not some sort
expert so they don't have the big machinery that makes good quality
archival prints a pretty much look like the Prince you get
out of a bubble jet and they to stockholder so we don't recommend those
either
instead we recommend sending out to one of the site yes to the
that we review
today were Bay photo a teenage Color Lab
W HCC Walmart Adorama pics
nations photo lab ampex prodi PI
Shutterfly CG pro print these are on the US but if you're outside the US I hope
you'll
take into consideration the factors that we're looking at
and evaluate another printers in your own country but these do all ship
throughout the US we judged each
photo on a
scale using the following criteria:
color tone exposure clarity the finish in way
and the photo packaging ordering jeans and also the price
so who are the winners well as also add that this was a blind test so when we
were looking at the photos and rating and we didn't know which photo we were
raiding until we were done
we use dem pics for years and we were really surprised to find that they're
the best
we like them we hadn't used a bunch of different printing services so
it was a good surprise so yet ampex 49 and
points
two dollars and nine cents I like the photo so much that
I A put it in a frame so the tap is Ben
but the colors great the papers a good quality
I it sharp and as you look at the picture you can see why we chose this
particular picture it's got a lot of skin tones which are important in a
lottery by
print
but also has a really rich dynamic range part
the
almost why and then there are just deep deep shadows wanna make sure the printer
got natural skin tones
and cover that complete dynamic range with great contrast
W HC see came in second place
they had great skin tones they're also clear
didn't think they were quite is rich
as and pics but it was Billy a close second

and
points and my cam pics the website was
also pretty easy to use neck India a big factor
to some these web sites had a really difficult the tools
to get your pictures actually up yeah if the downplayed couple
downloading uploading Taylor suffered I'm one thing I liked about wht see is
that they give you samples
have all the different papers luster and metallic and linen texture
so the next time you on order with them if you would like to try something
different
you have a good idea what you're gonna like death knights
to either and Pixar wht CR great choices in the US again
not sponsors here in third place
present strong feelings about the API these were free samples
they do put a watermark on them so you can't use them we got three free samples
their packaging was good and I also came with candy you have candy
they get a little bit they get a little push for the candy
the prints were pretty good became a little more pink
in the skin tones yeah that's why they didn't get a perfect score
I am but I also like that they provided again samples of all the different
finishes like specialty payroll and Matt
and they also gave you samples of cards
so that if you want to get them printed for your clients to yourself you could
see examples
but they deal and it's really beautiful and Vikings address the question how
some people are thinking
why would the colors vary from one printing service to another
because after all the colors are embedded in your pictures should be the
same but it doesn't work that way cuz you taking a digital image
and then printing it and it depends on the printer that the use
so these printers will have profiles and you could theoretically go in an
embedded
in my room and try to match up manually on
but for the most part most practical way to do things is to allow the printing
service
to adjust your pictures to get the colors perfect and a good printing
service will look at every single picture and use their knowledge of how
their printer is working
to make sure the colors come on nationalism company that person and
they're making the adjustment so individual printing services can give
you very different result to the same pictures speaking at that
next bisbee a photo and I had a bit of a problem with their color
I don't know if he'll be able to see it here the city is a bit hard to make for
that reason
it's difficult to show the prints
they photo
so the hair has green tones in it instead of golden
or even or in your warm tones as some green cooler towns
and everything else was okay with sharp the
paper quality was good but the colors were off so that's why they lost some
points
but again not terrible
out of 50 points that's dollars
it's a bargain
paper also has a really difficult to use website now
Bay photo uses most the time you have to use a separate
a blur to like a Windows app that runs and they have
an incredible number have different types the printer you can make
which is nice for those of you who want to make some creative printing get it
printed on wood
were like balls are like a hundred different formats in different shapes
and big sizes
and for that reason I do really use paper do I need to make a specialty like
fine art gallery print
they have just great options but the website is a pain to use its way easy to
use ampex I didn't
way I didn't take way too many points for the
finicky uploader just because once you have it it's gonna be a barrier to entry
but the
something that if you like their services Ben it's not gonna be a deal
breaker
yet what you've done it twice you'll have it work yeah so I didn't penalize
them too much for that I really focused more on the politics I think if you get
really good quality than you're willing to
to deal with some other scorekeeping yeah H&H Color Lab also in third place
I had again color problem her skin looks really pink
and it wasn't as clear as the other month see
nations I the paper quality
is thinner noticeably course I can't really show that to you
but I can feel that it's a bit flimsy year
it's pretty sharp the color looks pretty good its noticeably not as good as the
others but I think it's good enough
I think if you've just got this one alone would be happy with that
and now onto are not great I don't wanna column losers
because we just have one sample but in this limited experience
I'm we didn't have a very good experience for them the first one is CG
pro prints
it's a thicker print it's very thick and has more for texture to it
it makes it look very grainy and its pink warm
and not very sharp so awesome points
it's also eight dollars and fifty cents for this one prim
and it is thick and I can feel the difference but
I it's actually not good for the picture in los quality because
that paper texture your Adorama packs
look at that color let me show you let me show you a good one just to show the
difference here
that you can seeing you see that Justin it is so green
it's just awful you wouldn't want to put that
on your wall but the paper quality is good and a sharp
but when the colors that that what do you do with that another one with bad
color
is Walmart its unsharp its grainy
color is terrible
I would not recommend warmer
still better
there one hour Prince and
in last place was Shutterfly a
this one not only was the color of the Spurs
an example good color the the Shutterfly but
her face was blown out details lost
it's really pink they tried to bring up the shadows when they should not have a
fair they had had a person overlooking this photo they would have said
know there were supposed to be deep shadows and not raise them so it's clear
to me that nobody
looked at this and thought that their computer just didn't know what to do
with the print
yeah you can tell had some sort of auto exposure system that's all the dark
background and try to bring it up to gray and as
over expose the most important part maybe a different picture would have
turned a client seems like for the papers a bit then
and it's not the sharpest long but the our experience button to get
this video once again is brought to you by fracture
prices start at eighteen dollars you can get rectangle
or square format their free shipping on orders over $
dollars
and also their happiness guarantee so if you get your fracturing
you don't like it you can write to them and say hey don't like it no
fix it for you or give you your money back I've dealt with them
have been very friendly with me and yeah
you want refractory candor fractionally dot com and use the coupon code
Chelsea become safely packaged are easy to
hand
lower fracture sent us a sample one of our pictures and we hung in our living
room
thank you fracture looks great suggestions
we only reviewed
places we think we're totally wrong
I was Shutterfly actually great but my picture just didn't get printed
in the right way think they could be better let us know in the comments
let us know other companies you think they do a better job than and picks for
the other winners
and if you're outside the US goodman's know what your cut what country ran in

pages and a high
up two inches this template has an extra what
extra point
inches added on to both the way
and the height to allow for bleed room because when business cards get printed
and cut
there's extra stuff that might get cut off on the site so there's little
area is put there to make sure that nothing important gets cut up
and the resolution is
pixels per inch to make sure that your business

DIY Business Cards | XO PIXEL !!!

hey guys
so today I'll be showing you how to make your very own business cards at home
business cards are great way the easily and professionally DIY Business Cards | XO PIXEL !!! exchanger contact information on the go you never know we might run into
here are some business cards that I created
this design is simple yet pretty effective
I used a very clean edge business card paper
if you have an inkjet printer remember to check if the paper is
inkjet compatible the template I'm using is $

discount online printing the cards are prefered on the sheet so all you need to do is snap the cartel
with a bit a bending no coding needed lastly
having a high quality printer will either make or break your designs
I recently purchased this Epson WorkForce printer
and I must say it's amazing the photo call the issue to how it looks on the
computer
which is extremely important if you wish to have high-quality results
to download the template for your every business cards
head on over to their website enter the template number
look for the template that is compatible with Adobe Illustrator
click download the two software programs that are used are adobe photoshop and
Adobe Illustrator
open up all the photos you wish to put on the back your business cards and
Adobe Photoshop
when editing I recommend duplicating the lear first before you make any changes
so that you can see a difference and also allow you to keep the original
photo
if you don't like the changes made when editing
it's in good practice to edit non-destructive week you can do this by
using the adjustment layers pain are normally found on the right hand side
this standard adjustments that I do
included Justin the color balance brightness contrast
saturation and adjusting the current levels while you can really see the
difference the adjustment layers me
to now that you're done all your photos
good image mode CMYK color did this all of your photos so that they're ready for
printing
any photo you plan to create should be put in CMYK mode
since the business cards are to buy three and a half
will need to make sure that the photos will be similar to that
aspect ratio to do this click on the crop tool
and go into the preset menu selected to buy three option
and rotate it so it fits landscape wise if everything looks good
then click the check mark for photos are on the porch inside
will do the same thing and decide what part of the photo we want to showcase
this looks like a good part
click the check mark and then save all your photos
I recommend saving your photos as a tip file not a peg
so now let's get started on the design
open up the business card template in illustrating
we're going to design the French the cards first
I'm going to take a ruler in the middle of the cards
to help align the graphics I place the local type on the left to the business
cards
and my contact information on the right remember
this is the fun part because it could be as creative as you like
get creative and fiddle around with what you want to have on the front of your
cards
people minimalistic anything in between
I've created an alternative design that is super easy to make
and it still looks amazing the fund I am using is
aerial I also added a background color
and I change the font color two-way notice that the background is slightly
bigger than the guide
this is to allow for a full breed I also added my main contact information at the
bottom
see local easy it was to make if you don't have illustrator
Avery has templates that can be used in Microsoft Word
if you still have the same design on the front the cards
just copy/paste until you finish template looks like this
now let's start working on the back at the business cards
on the back
you can open up a new template file by making you are bored and copy the guide
onto the newark board like I did
I suggest creating a new layer to keep your work organized
also make sure documents is set to CMYK mode
that way any colors you choose RNC my came not RGB
place all the images you edited in Photoshop
onto the are born at first my place images they're huge
but if you do Mel hardship NJ go quite as you're able to resize the photos
while keeping its proportions
repeat this for all your photos stored it doesn't matter it's all up to you
now we don't placing in finger photos
and as you can see there slightly larger than the guides to give room for a bleed
the last step to designing a business card is to add a logo in the corner
all I did was select my name from the front business cards and I resized it a
little smaller
inequity in the corner I also changed its color to white
added drop shadow to text if the background is too late
tele we finished designing your business cards
now all we need to do is print before you bring your cards make sure to
compare
all your texts outlines for now it's Chris text when printing
in l.a share go to File
then print go into Page Setup and make sure the papers format it for your
printer
in the paper size is US Letter size set scaling to do not scale
set the are bored range
because you want to print the back in front
individually going to set up and make sure that the media type is cool
glossy this is the recommended setting by Avery for this particular pack a
business cards
make sure the quality is set to best now all you have to do is print
the repeat the same steps back
redone
even officially design your own business cards
now hand them out to everyone you know and show off their word

business card and this is pretty standard if you've noticed subsection
everything out into zones the green
area green on an is a safe zone
anything that's printed or tighter you know put in this area
is safe it worked be clipped or trend the red is where their machines will
actually trend SAP you
places to make business cards uploaded to this or copper on the few
go to their web sites here's best could have business cards and see all business
cards you can get some ideas so
what it's going to look like arm got print this is the
you can go to got print acecomm samples you samples online
and then you can see pew examples here's one right here
just a nice logo on a white background some information
of a simple so I'll show you how I do it
and I'm gonna upload this template on my site so you'll be able to download it
and
each one of these is layered so you can now basic or shut the text of
shut these two of them will have our safe area here
and I'll create a new layer will rename that
background and then I will bill at where
white shift f5 will do it or you can just command you like it
now let's go and drop in a logo and I created a logo just before doing this
but say here's a logo now this is just a made up name it doesn't exist but
I'm if you do have a logo PC I knew resizing in just whole shift
enable constrain proportions and world keep your risk you in the logo
and I'll put it up the top left which here is where you see a demo slogans and
business cards
now we need to put a little bit attacks than so
of just that type my name Richardson
and click OK and then no

paper project
manager quick okay
now grab both these layers and will hold this
select all in a long line them on
or clicks like to to have this mean you come up now one thing I'm gonna wanna do
is this gonna change the
callers hear to



alright so that we can stay consistent and project manager
want to go ahead where between


so it's a little bit liar click OK on
we should be a row and then I'm gonna him down just a bit
will double click on my name make clear that

maybe and double click on this one it looks like it's a six already so
leave it at that but I'm gonna dropping down just a bit
all right now let's go ahead and with quiet
me week but some import here or
we could just maybe this could be the company information this
area here can be my information or
we can do it to spend anywhere you will just go ahead pay some tax in here
some where broder this would be in Lansing
Michigan and poor
and then
I'm I quick doubt must-see area
let's go ahead but it phone number by
on to work by
sounds good and call me there
on a promise i walking answer right away
actually I want because remember
but term you probably knew that we're gonna grab I'm
I'm gonna put a line here so I'm getting used to the our vector tools here
and miss you man so I can get just a few pixels wide
something like like Diana surrounds you
looks yeah my back I am
may want to put a you know I'm I'm I like corporate clean so maybe we'll just
put
something like a website down here BWW that
expert dot com click OK
me we can align it with a rectangle tool by
crap select sooner than and
looking pretty good might be a upon this

somewhere over just a bit just a match
okay so looks pretty good now
there's a few other things we can do we do you see this safe zone
so before you upload this year gonna shut that layer of
and then you'll do a Save ass I your grammar PDF
great here um in then you'll use the
US web kool aid their operation to
so I've already had that saved in your
mode here so when they change the print profile
so it should be fine if you use my template one thing though you may want
to do if you won desperation
this up just a bit with the something Mike I was talking about the bleeding
edge
earlier if you have graphics that go of the adage
that believe it is basically so we'll make our
they don't have any artifacts or white gaps on the edge
from communing sample I just have right here
just the logo itself for this made up company
mine and I'll just pull this
all the page where we can still see a
actually I tell you what let's drop it all the way below everything else
then ok duplicate it by just dragging it down
creamy layer and then walk grab it and will pour
all the way up to the top gray hair
okay now arm that's a little busy so what we'll do is work re
a hue and saturation adjustment layer above it
will let's just are well actually ran percent reaction up a bit
and I'll Drive the lightness just so I can keep the colors cuz I pulled a
saturation
down won't be able quite the difference in colors here it looks like we're
losing a bit anyway so
but for a watermark this come about where we may war
this could be arm together looks pretty good
it's pretty sharp so just give me a little bit of an idea of some other
things you can do
arm you know you can put more information right here if you want it
with this at the top you may not want too much going on here you may not want
any information maybe a
phone number something for the company this is your cell
but you can you know you can't assign this anywhere you are this is a nice
corporate clean crisp
look so you'd make sure all your layers are off you cannot look
that you're safe zone this is where cut zone is so
let's say you wanted peace I am be circles here
to to actually show up one thing you're definitely gonna wanna do
is on I'm plants around one so
grab it gonna pull bows and because this red area
that's where it's going to be cut probably between the red and the great
so that was important to you too for branding purposes or something like that
to get a few these outside circle center
you may wanna pull that in just a bit not just make sure that when it's Kat
you can see a few those so this just a few tips

How To Make A BUSINESS CARD with Photoshop CC !!!

Add subtitles/CC

either what are the best ways to promote your digital artwork
is to create a business card having a business card will make it really easy How To Make A BUSINESS CARD with Photoshop CC !!! to network with people because you can hand out your Cardinal have all of your
services
a sample if your artwork and your contact information and a link to your
portfolio
you can hand these out people are you can leave in places
that's a really good way to hear just kinda get your name out there
unfortunately the it's not
printing page something that you can do I'm with curl painter and a lot of my videos
are curl painter videos but this would be
pretty much you'd be pulling your hair out trying to do any the stuff in
cropping or even though there is a text to learn everything
it's just a real pain so I wouldn't suggest using Photoshop for this
you can get a free 30-day trial Photoshop from Adobe's website
if you go to the download link and product trials
it's like Photoshop also quite affordable to you just
rented on a monthly basis with their Creative Cloud Service
you can check that out to you or go back to Photoshop
and so we have an example here just a quick car that I mean on
first thing that you're going to want to do is you gonna need to pick a place
to print your cards from any you can print them yourself
or you can have them printed to an online service I'm not really gonna
suggest
anybody specifically by it a meet some cards for somebody the other day when I
my clients and they went with this website here
and their specs where a product size 3.5 inches by two inches with a bleed such
as a

by
inches so essentially what that means is
the card is going to get rimmed off for this dotted line is
anything that's outside of that dotted line
is probably going to get cut off so if you had a background that you wanted to
bleed to the edge
which is a printing term if you want the Inc to go all the way off the edge of
the paper
so there's not a white border anything then you have to have it
go past the paper in the treatment of so
there's a a certain margin you have to account for when you make your cards
some web sites might not have this it might not matter and you can just upload
your image as is but
it's good to check and see it'll save you a lot of time anyone have to
redesign the card after you finish it
also note some things that they want specific
file types and specific
resolution DPI and
for the backside they want you to rotate the image
degrees
so basically they want you to flip it upside down so that Prince properly
so you could have to watch out for some stuff like that but most spring web
sites will have
specs or they'll have a template which is a file you can download
to open in Photoshop once you have the
crack specs you can even use the specs here go ahead and move forward
so we know our products as gonna be 3.5 by
and we want this plead size to be what they have listed here
there's a few different ways we can do this I find that the easiest way for me
Estes make a new document and
will make it the size that we want to
eventually trailers which is
by 2 inches so we're gonna change her with
from inches from pixels to inches
suffering a
inches by two inches
and will serve as resolution to
and their color mood
Ferguson CMYK so that's the kind of color mode you have to use when you're
printing
you can use RGB also it kinda really doesn't matter too much but
which is can use proper green principles here
and will neighbor card for community thing wont go okay
and I recommend going and just saving your card right now
I just so you don't have to really worry about messing anything up
you know where it is so that
next thing that will do is we're going to make sure that you can see rulers
so what you have to do this you have to go to the
View menu and then select rulers
are you could get control or a new keyboard all had revealed these rulers
appear
so to have a ruler you can click on the ruler
and drag with your mouse to drag down
guy when you release your mouse you really should guide
you hover over it when you get this little
icon you can adjusted sort these guys will be useful
this kind of latest set some reference marks
know we're going to want to do this for gonna make sure that we step to this
edge
here edge if the document if that's not happening
monitor the View menu and make sure snaps enabled
in a snap to menu make sure that
snap to you document bounds or guides is enabled
and go ahead and just read another going down to the bottom
and do the two sides so we've got guides that
surround our car here now will go to the Image menu
in with the Kansas its we're gonna change the size or Candace which is good
we're going to make ur
card bigger but archives against and the same place that where guides will be
representative where the card will be trained
so will change this to you

and Tripoli
because that's going to be our
believe dimensions that were required by the printer
and was fun make sure that this gold dots in the center here so that
everything experience from
the senator howard click OK know you go now we've had this bleed area and that's
exactly what we need
snow we want to make sure that when we're designing a card that we don't
my anything go outside at this line that we don't want to get cut off
so it's okay if color or a background pattern gets cut off because that means
to bleed off the page
but anything else like your information you don't want to go
even anywhere near this line here if you're just gonna have a white
background
you have to worry about anything at all speak sure that everything stays in the
center here
so louisiana just a little bit
Curtis cards going into creating small so we don't really look at it
to big and when I recommend doing
is making a folder I'm to store your
card Photoshop file in and within that folder
you could also store some assets if you already have them Lake
artwork or graphics or your logo
things that you might want to use or photograph anything you want to put on
the card just get all that stuff together
and put it in the same folder let's just good design practice for everything I
think
so here's the folder I have here and it's got a
my logo it's pretty good sized version of it that way
you know I can credit in a high-resolution
and I've ca just a piece of artwork you going through my card
I recommend the if you're an artist me making a business card for yourself you
should put a piece of artwork on I wouldn't go crazy and good

pieces of art you know it's gonna be a small card
but just pick one thing that kinda stands alone nicely
and this piece in particular has a white background already so
I can kinda place it anywhere in work text around it
and once you've got your image it's going to make it a lot easier to pick
colors
things you so
on the Select these few images and the way I like to do my layouts for pretty
much anything that I do
graphic design related is a generally like to put the images in first
and then do the text after that because generally speaking the text ends up
falling around the images
so really quickly to put images into your Photoshop document
it's just select whichever images you
images or files you wanna you can hold control on your keyboard click
on multiple files to select different files here
and I'm going to drag it down to my taskbar
when Windows taskbar and hover over the Photoshop icon
in Photoshop or open and when
still while holding down the mouse go over to the Photoshop on it that's now
open
and is going to release my mouse and that's gonna place these files into the
document
and then if I don't want to resize them at all which in this case and only want
to do right now
I was gonna click the checkbox to commit to that placement
do the same for this one and these
to image assets are added as their own separate layers in Photoshop
there's a special icon here that indicates that the user smart layers
so if I skill them up or down they're not going to degrade
in image quality
so that these images here in here we can can play around with them a little bit
if you find that your images are coming in too small
for this resolution is
DPI
I recommend fining wait either enlarge the images
or pick a different image because you might need to
a pretty big image here to work with this type of resolution reason why we're
working with
DPI eyes because it just makes for a nicer print
so now we can use the
black arrow to hear to move these layers around wherever we want them to be
and if we want it change the hors d'oeuvres layers the way that they're
stacked we can drag himself I wanna put the logo on top of them are of
a click and drag in
I can move on top of the other if we want to change the size at them
scale them you can hit control T
or you can go to at it
Free Transform I was going to use the shortcuts though
and it'll give you these transform handles
now if you just drag love them you're gonna squashing image
what you probably don't want to do so what you gonna want to do to correct
that is full shift
while you're driving in shift or constrain it
in proportion if you also hold
alt while holding SHIFT it will scale from the central constraining so that
can be helpful if you very pleased something
you can keep it in the same place but you can just make it bigger smaller
sonamy
I love about this big click the checkbox to commit to that change
and then I'm going to just drag it over to the side here
if you want to drug something in constrained to an Access
like the horizontal axis here and what I mean by that is
and moving it but I can't move up or down even if I move my mouse afternoon
this is happening because I'm holding SHIFT so as I was dragging a story
holding shift in a constrained
to the sexes I wanted to constrain it vertically
it started raining vertically hold SHIFT
now you can see that I can't move it to the left to the right
sons gonna put it right about here and resize my mom of
again I'm gonna do you control team to transform it and in a skillet from the
center while constraining
by holding shift and alt
it's making about this big
right here Beach
keyboard shortcuts really important because makes it faster to do things if
you don't have to keep
repositioning everything so if you can kinda just keep things
online from the beginning it's going to make it easier to work with later
so now one thing we should look into before we start
really placing tax and everything you gonna wanna find some way to divide up
the scarred
and make it look nice and
you have to kind of account for what you have in your so I know I have the logo
on it to be about this big and i won
there to be a lot of hard work because it's going to be a small card my
you know look something like this: so really want artwork to stand out
in the text just has to be readable just gonna be some information
so if we wanna know where to place things just to make them look good
you can use something that's called the rule of thirds
and if you imagine that you can this is
divided up into
grid and give you an example here
this is a agreed it's a rule of thirds great so everything's divided into
3 call rose three four columns so what i recommend doing
is placing year image assets for your text
within these areas so
I'll ogres within this
column in this role here my artwork is mostly
taking a these two hear than everything else can kinda just
you know flow around but that generally makes it easy to
to do a layout if you just kinda do everything with them relive thirds
your layouts you can look good ninety-nine percent of the time
the E I pulled up that good by going to the crop tool here
and you can just click and you have to be careful because if you change this
box at all its gonna trim awesome if your image so be careful not to do that
you can use it just to get a visual
so I think tomorrow the place for the stuff I was gonna tidy up some things
here
in a double click on these layer names and I'm gonna name them
just to make it look nicer
and now we can go ahead and add some text so we can take the textile
here you can get to you on your keyboard for the textile
and was gonna click and we can start typing syntax
now I recommend
picking a fart thats readable
and in New York pick something that's obviously not too big into small
depending on if you're going to have a line to the left or right or center you
might want to take that first
on a pic center because I want my text here to be centered
fans can go ahead and type in my name
okay to commit to that you really have to worry too much about the font size
because you can transform text like you can with an image
doing control T on your keyboard and surrounded in
you know hunt around with the spot sizes here trying to pick the right side of
the scale it down and then
go ahead in rounded off to a nice even
point size here
works pretty well for that
I would say for the card for business card be published in grozny smaller than
about
a and six would even be pushing it because it's not going to be very
readable for the average person
free font size really want sorry between nineteen

miss you gonna have just a really big piece a text or something or a logo you
could do that pretty big
but really it's up to you how you want to design this you have to do everything
horizontally to do vertically you can make a bigger wider Carter
skinny fit her car your the really anything you want this is kind of
the principles is making a card slot you know
I'm not telling you that you have to do everything and the way I'm doing here
design wise so as I mentioned earlier
about keeping alignment to just to save you time
isn't another neat little trick so if we're gonna want more tax
that's going to be the same font size
an ally and at the same way that this is here rather than going to the type tool
and placing other PC type and then having to constantly realigned
all the pieces a type that you had it's easier just to clone what you have
so the way the on some things you hold down alt when you have the air tool
selected
and your icon will change to this double arrow see there's a black and white one
and anytime that you click can you drag with the icon your clone
a new layer into that position
so if you clone and you hold SHIFT
know you can come now you can constrain your clothes to an axis so
if we constrain it now to this vertical axis
we get a copy that's aligned we don't have to line it later rates are deep
realigned
and since we picked I center alignment
ahead of time when we go to change this text that will stay aligned
if we didn't do that it would possibly be left the line and then we'd have to
go through in
do an extra step up having to realign everything so
thinking and really helps when you're working with this kinda stuff
you can be yourself whatever kinda I tell you what
misconceived visual artist but sometimes I use Illustrator
artist for hire you know want two different things
or click the checkbox to commit to that text
and again if we wanted to and more text with the where we want to clone selected
down open the keyboard drag
shift while holding on dragging
and holding with your mouse still and then release your mouse and shifting all
together when you want to just
leave it somewhere there if we want to change the texts like the text tool and
we can change it
you could put in you know phone number
could give you my phone number here but you need to put in your
phone number if you want thus all those text you can place for everyone
in if you decide you don't like it where it is you know of course you can move it
somewhere else
goes for any other stuff if you wanted to do something as a group and keep it
all together
you know maybe I wanted me this logo and this text
together I can hold down SHIFT
and click on the lower layer to select contiguous layers
or to select independently a signal down control
and just pick different layers here with the loose
selected that they can do a control G to group them
from in a committed group here that I can manipulate
so with this group selected no can move the entire group
I wanna move independent objects within the group
you can select them right move them again holding shift to keep things
constrained you can also use the arrow keys on your keyboard
up and down left and right she hold SHIFT while using their keys you can not
things in larger increments
if you wanna kinda finding something that's pretty easy to do
and again you just go back to the group if you want to meet with the group as a
whole
no centering things
and aligning things it's pretty easy to do in Photoshop
would say we want to make sure that this whole group here is perfectly centered
with the entire card here so we can you something as a reference to center upon
which is the card background because it takes up the whole document so anything
that we choose to center with will get centered
just basically in the senate the document so with background selected
that's this white background
we can home controller keyboard and select the info layer which is this year
and we'll get some alignment options and we'll go with this option here which is
aligned vertical senators
so now we know that this
piece of info is more or less perfectly centered
this doesn't always get it right now does most of the time but you might find
that
even if it is perfectly centered by what Photoshop thinks is centered
statically it doesn't look right to die
so I would still recommend adjusting things
until you feel that their senator there where you think they should be
so and then move the server and a little bit
using their Okies and then by my office think is
pretty good work on it let's add some more texts on and go back this
in full they ran on a clone summer this text here by holding alt
my keyboard
and let's put some more contact info
it's good to let people know
how to get a hold the view
if you have a website a that's even better to put on your card
you can also put it your Facebook page or your twitter feed
you know pretty much anything that you would use to contact people scape
I recommend if you have a really long complicated web site name like idea
and smoked for words you can use caps here because it doesn't matter if people
take them in with the cancer without the caps it's still going to your website
and I feel that makes it easier to read you don't have to put in the WWW
you know of but in the HTTP semi colon slash slash all that junk
it's really up to you what you want to use here
you go something like that sometimes it just depends on your design
so I see that this is too big to fit within
my safe area here so we're gonna change the font size a bit
to you
man will work
maybe about here its clone this again holding alt
and shift to keep it aligned while cloning
and let's put in some info about what we do you anticipate will get a good idea
he have multiple mediums that you work in or you offer multiple services
but that kinda stuff and then people get step quick glimpse into what you're
capable of doing
I'm using you said pay characters here which is a
you get them by holding shift in the backslash key
to divide my day free my own
all keywords: here but you could use anything you more really he could use
you know dashes if you're you
not gonna too much detail here
just babies about and
a lot of times I just do things by I'm not gonna get to
you know crazy about this amount of space universe is this myspace here if
it looks good to me
visually and I have to say that that's probably good enough
analysts that this line here isn't centered so we're gonna center that
on a click on this line text and also hold control and click on the back
earlier
wanna make sure that centered do the same thing with
in for the top here
make sure that centered know for sure it's looking pretty good
zoom out a little bit because you can overlook your card
and approximately the size that's going to be printed
and that's going to vary depending on how close you are to your screen and
what size your screen is
I'm working on a
everything generally looks really really huge in after really likes him out
I find that
percent to
percent somewhere in that range
is generally if i holed a print up to the screen
that's about what size it is but perceptually I think
percent so good
view to look at something as it's gonna create
if you're working and
PPI
so that would be in my opinion a pretty satisfactory card if you want to change
the background
that's pretty easy to you you can
but if he said artwork if you wanted to you or you could just throw a solid
color
recommend making a new layer and is calling it BG for background
and you can use the pay packet to pick a color
will use yellow and we ran into a wall
issue here where this graphic
has a white background
few different ways we can get rid a
weak and trembling notable apply
which works really well for backgrounds away it pretty much makes the bat
whole background go away
as we'll see if we move the more flair here
in person kind it almost looks like it's going behind the lair
you get rid of that white background whereas if we put it on or more than you
can see it covers everything
that's one way
for no usable in
multiply and we can do secret trick here where we double
click
rate between where it says the name of the layer and thus alike on
if we drag the slider here we can knock out some other background
you basically just keep dragging to the background goes away
so this is doing is it's essentially hiding everything that's white
and you know so on up until this point
so if there's a long way in your image that's gonna disappear to
so you not gonna watch out for that ideally you want to use images that
don't have backgrounds if you don't want the background to interfere with your
layout
in this case that works and if I wanted to do that with my logo to you I could
do that
to city centre more pliable and
no have a nice yellow background for my card
skip this my of back somewhere
looking at it kinda close I'm seeing still some friends on here
someone to go back in C&C it starts to remove the light colors
if the kinda want to can also try this:
trick here I'm gonna send it back to normal
you can try to use them magic Wand Tool
to a selection and remove the background
whatever recommend doing is instead of trying to delete the pixels
which you won't be able to do if you have a smart lawyer enabled here is just
use a mask
just click on the mask year and
good and very here in your Properties panel
true masks Nov
you know some varying
success here this doesn't work only because I put a drop shadow
on my artwork so ultimately what i think im gonna do them was gonna set the blend
mode
to multiply because I don't think that looks cuban
miss the Precor I want to change my background
rather than filling again with the paint bucket tool
I recommend using a live affect here color overlay
if you click on the swatch here you will get some different
color options for your background in the pink sky frightened pecan find something
that looks good
looks kinda cool click OK
me ago you can see
easy to change the background if we want to change the colors of our farts
of course you can you know discover the swatch here when you have to
on selected that you want to change
selling change the color the the
my name here change that way
order what can be faster sometimes
is again to use one of these effects here
clear overlay pick something like Wat
okay and if you right click on the Slayer now
you can go to copy layer style and that will copy this
effect that you put on the lair and you can select
all the other layers that you want to make way right click on them
and UK sleeve style: there you go
if you wanna play to drop shadow on some others text to help it stand now
double click on affects
drop shadow acquitting this checkbox
click on the drop shadow to change so the settings
again if you want to capitalist-style
by right-clicking you can do that its like the North Pole layers that you want
to apply the style to
right click and EP sleeve style: Mingo
of course I don't like this background being orange
and now the drop shadow doesn't work at all
notice the color overlay so went to school and is
turn off the effects for all this and put it back to normal how we had
of course you will want to make a backside for your card
more than likely so when I recommend doing
is grouping together all your layers from your front side
because you could make two separate documents but there's kinda really no
reason to not just
be more than after for you have to work between two documents so
I've got my friend here you can duplicate it by right clicking on it and
couldn't duplicate group
call it back had the front where
now we're looking at the back and
want to
go to some other stuff you like the logo on them off
maybe
on pat on the back where
and still eats more the stuff you let's just keep
I contact info
just for example sick this will be a backside
but you could really do whatever you want you could have a piece of artwork
we could have some additional information
and will want to speak a different color go and make this orange color so we can
distinguish between the two
so for her backside front side
so now what you gonna want to do is as we were looking at earlier
with their design specs this particular
printing service once eight if GOP your GPS
if you're working with Victor R which were not in this case because we're
working in Photoshop
when I can be exporting an EPS file
JK would degrade the image quality a little bit and possibly change the color
so we don't want to use such a pig
so we're going to lift if that's the best option here
used to fill our for printing
IRS artwork so what you want to do is you want to hide in revealed this back
in this from depending on
what you want to say if gonna file and save as
select if from the format
I don't wanna say with layers so uncheck this box
gonna call her different recommend not using spaces and using a high finish
unit
try to represent a space save this
shoes LZW compression that'll just make the file smaller but it's not going to
hurt the image quality
and again make sure that there is no layers miss the settings you can just
leave it there
click OK and they have a file
to file that you can create for the front of your card
and I will do the same for the backside will head the front layer
reveal the back clear go to File
say about us she's the to format
unchecked the layers box and will save it
has card back
enough we take a look at our in Asia assets folder
you can see that we've got a a card back in a card front that we can upload to
our website a
I'm and check it to see if it will print properly
you want to ensure that not have your text is getting cut off by the
bleed or any of that boundary guys that they have
set up for you and if they are say for instance
maybe some medicine for like this info appears too close to the edge
you can just move it adjusted down using a row keys on your keyboard
and do the same thing with their email down here at the bottom
discuss good things around to get looking the way or
I'm I recommend printing
a test batch of cards you know print
quite a few don't order you know like two thousand cards
because that there's something wrong with them maybe that the fight you chose
is an
readable or the colors then turn out the way you wanted to
or something cut off even though you didn't think it would
you know it's always good to test friends first that way if
something's messed up you can fix it and when it's finally looking the way you
want it to you
credit wise thing you can you know and a whole bunch in
I regarding farts
I ninety-nine percent the time I think I just use
myriad pro I'm I like san serif fonts
for text that needs to be readable sensor if
is the typeof found that doesn't have a bunch of
fancy I'm embellishments on it like for instance
Georgia if we use that see out the in Zavala
these letters there's this little hooks
and all these little extra little bits as they're called seraphs
and they make the font possibly harder to read even though they make the font
look nicer
I'm some fonts you know
have serious that are still readable but I for the most part feel that
it's just better to have the farby is readable as possible especially if it's
going to be small
so I just goes something like a myriad pro you could also use for gay and
there to Homer aerial me those fonts are all pretty much the same
but I recommend using something really really wacky
for all your texts cousin might look cool but people are going to be able to
read it and people just go into your cart away
if they can't read it and get me useful information on it
first paper goes be careful what kind of paper you print on because if you print
on colored paper
or unnatural paper it might change the colors
I'm some have your artwork when it blends
with the paper color in yourself to watch out for those white background
there's a little white background around some view image
you have to watch out for that because it might end up hurting so
on sometimes it's just easier just to work with a white background because at
that
and if you run into the issue now you know how to fix it
so there you go now you can make your own business cards

How to design a business card in Photoshop - a printed.com tutorial !!!

English (United Kingdom) English (United Kingdom)
Hello and welcome to this printed.com tutorial.
My name is Dan, Designer at printed.com.
I'm going to show you how to design a professional-looking business card in Photoshop. How to design a business card in Photoshop - a printed.com tutorial !!! The first thing I'm going to do is click 'File > 'New'.
Set the Units to Millimetres.
In this case I'm going to design a business card that's
X
millimetres
- that's he standard size in the UK.
So..
discount brochure printing x
millimetres.
Both the units are set to Millimetres.
The resolution should be set to
dpi (for print)
and...
the 'Color Mode' should be set to 'CMYK' (for print)
Give your file a name -
I'm just going to call mine "Business card"
- and click 'Okay' once those options are set.
So... I've got a blank document open,
and the first thing I'm going to do, before I add any design,
is to add 'bleed'.
'Bleed' is an area of print that sits slightly outside the document
that's trimmed off when it has been printed.
These business cards will be printed on a big sheet
and then trimmed down to size.
To make sure your images, text and colour
all line up with the edge of the document without and white lines round it,
you need to add 'bleed'.
The first thing I'm going to do, is make sure 'Rulers' are visible
by clicking 'View' > 'Rulers'
If I untick this, they will disappear.
'View' > 'Rulers'
Switch to the 'Move Tool'
(on the top left of the 'Tools' palette).
If you can't see the 'Tools' palette, click 'Window' > 'Tools'.
Switch to the 'Move' tool.
Drag some 'line guides' to the edges of the document.
That has marked the edges of where my design will come to
and the bleed will spill over those edges.
To extend the document to include 'bleed',
you need to click 'Inage' > 'Canvas Size'.
Switch back to Millimetres, so it's more clear.
Then, I need to add
So... on this side, there will be
on this side there will be
and the other two sides, too.

millimetres in width.
So... if I add
(which would equal
millimetres),
and
(which would be
millimetres),
The 'bleed' should be added.
All I need to do is click 'Okay',
and there is my 'bleed'.
Because I had my background colour set to this maroon colour,
it has filled it with that colour,
so now I need to fill the whole document with white.
Okay, so...
when this document is printed,
it will be trimmed at that point.
Anything that spills over will be cut off.
Now that my document is set up, I'm going to save it somewhere
(so I don't lose it).
'Save'
I'm just going to save it here.
I've already named it, so I can just click 'Save'.
Now I'm ready to start adding my elements.
I'm going to add in a logo.
I've already made one.
I'll just go to my 'Desktop'.
I'm just going to click this logo file,
and drag it into the document
and Photoshop will automatically turn it into a 'Smart Object'
Once it's in place, I'm going to press 'Return'
A 'Smart Object' is a layer type in Photoshop that allows you to
resize images, text and other elements,
without damaging their original quality.
If I bring up the 'Layers Palette'
(by clicking 'Window' > 'Layers', and making sure it's ticked)
I should be able to see it on the right side.
If you lose track of things in your workspace and everything seems messed up,
click 'Window' > 'Workspace' > 'Reset'.
Just switch to 'Essentials' if you want the basic setup like I have on-screen.
I'm going to go over to my 'Layers Palette'
This object here is a 'Smart Object'.
If I double-click it,
I'll go inside and see just that object on its own.
So, whatever I do to it in here
(twist it, distort it, etc),
The object will stay as it originally was, inside the 'Smart Object'
So, once your logo is placed, you can start to add text.
To add text, use the 'Text tool' from the 'Tools palette'
(it's the 'T').
Click that...
Click and drag to create a text box,
then type in your text.
I'm just going to type in "Company name"
Select your fonts from the 'Fonts' menu at the top.
- in this case, I'm going to use Museo Slab

Then, you can use the 'Character' menu to change things like the font size, spacing, line-height...
You can add 'faux bold'
You can make sure everything's in capitals if you like
To see the 'Character' window, go to the fonts menu at the top,
and click this little button,
or click 'Window' > 'Character'.
Select your text...
If you want to change the colour, click the swatch button here
- it will bring up the colour picker.
I'm going to set my text to black.
To make sure black text comes up really sharp in print,
It's best to use
On the bottom-right of the colour picker, you should see the CMYK colour boxes.
Type '
('K' means black)
and set the 'C' (Cyan), 'M' (Magenta) and 'Y' (Yellow) values all to zero.
That will give you really sharp black text.
Change your font size until you're happy,
and that's one text box complete.
To create more text boxes, just follow the same procedure.
Use the 'Text tool' from the 'Tools palette'. Click and drag
and enter your text.
I'm going to enter my name.
I'm going to switch the font to Museo Sans, which compliments Museo Slab.
I'm going to make this text smaller, because it's slightly less important than the company name.
Then I'm going to continue to enter the rest of my details.
Now I've entered the rest of my details, I want to arrange the text so it's neatly laid out.
It's really important, when designing for print, to make sure text isn't too close to the edge,
because it could potentially be chopped off.
It's best to make sure text is at least
I'm going to arrange my text so it looks neater.
And the same with the logo
- I'm going to make sure that's at least
Because I know this is
I can just make a judgement on the distance.
So now that I have all my text in,
I think I'm going to add some colour.
To do that, I'm going to use the 'Shape tool'
You can use a variety of shapes:
Rectangle, Rounded rectangle, Ellipse, Polygon, Line, Custom shape.
For now, I'm just going to go with 'Square'
I'm going to click and drag to create a square.
It's important to make sure this square runs outside the bleed (up to the edge of the document).
At the moment, this square is white
To change colour, I'm going to go up to this menu at the top,
click 'Fill',
and then, either choose a colour from here,
or click the colour picker and change the colour there,
or I can use the Gradient tool
and select from some preset gradients,
or create my own.
Or, I can use the pattern selector
- some patterns already exist in here,
but you can also create your own.
For now, I'm just going to use the colour picker,
and I'm going to set it to a simple blue.
If your rectangle turns up over your text (like this),
All you need to do is go to your 'Layers palette',
click on that layer, and drag it below the text.
So my text stands out over the blue, I'm going to change the colour to white.
To select all the text, I'm going to click the bottom text layer in the 'Layers palette',
hold down 'Shift' (on the keyboard), click the top layer,
switch to the 'Text tool',
click the colour picker,
and set all the text to white.
So now, it stands out over this blue background.
I'm not totally happy with this design, so I'm going to have a play with it.
I'm going to move the rectangle around,
and to do that, I'm going to click the rectangle layer in the 'Layers palette',
click 'Ctrl + t' to bring up transform controls on the edges ('Cmd + t' on a Mac)
then rotate, move, and resize until I'm happy with the shape.
To make duplicates of shapes, just click them on the 'Layers palette',
hold down 'Alt' (keyboard), then click and drag.
Now I have two of these rectangles (Identical),
I can drag them both around.
I've finished moving my images, and I've changed my text colour to grey.
I'm pretty happy with this document, so I'm ready to save it as a pdf
(for upload at printed.com)
To do that, I'm going to click
'File' > 'Save as',
click this dropdown,
select 'Photoshop PDF' from the dropdown menu,
name my PDF, then click 'Save'
In here, I'm going to change my preset to 'PDF/X-
and that's it - that's all I need to do.
Then click 'Save PDF'.
I'm just going to find my file...
and open it.
This image looks pixelated.
That's because this PDF is zoomed in beyond
If you want to make sure your PDF will look okay in print,
make sure you view your PDF at
There's quite a wide gap here between the edge of the document and my text,
and thats because some of this is going to be chopped off
-
Having the images run out like this, further away from the edge of the document
means there's much less risk of having white edges around it.
And that's it! - That's how you design a business card in Photoshop
ready for print at printed.com

and I'll get back to you at the first available moment.
Thanks for watching.
