in phnom whatever program but obviously in this tutorial
it's going to be in Adobe Illustrator so in letters to other show you how to do
all the stuff in for a shock to
on my my AR my layouts primarily come out a bill share
Obama image editing is where I do everything in Photoshop basically so
letterhead printing services arm if you're looking at the screen you're going to notice
arm a logo for ABC Company which
I A spoke about inning no tutorial on how to create a professional logo
our Design in in Illustrator and I wanna do is Connor volume
americana continue that tutorial and make a business card outta this
this very basic quickly thrown together low so
on just give you a condom ideas a you know what to do in business cards I'm
gonna be doing a lot most world
on building business cards and I'm sure also be looking at
arm you know anywhere you go and you see people have their business card out
you should definitely be picking them up i've seen the different types layouts
and designs
om you know we're looking on the internet no type in the word business
card design
an ongoing images and in our
in my Google the something just to get idea and that you know if you see
elements you like like that always say
I you know learn from them and utilizing your own artwork it's not stealing
issues and ideas
and I you know you create your on ideas offer that so
that being said I let's go back to the screen right now
if you go on if your YouTube right now under this
under this video I'm going to put a link to the page I
the specific page on my website with this tutorial because on that page
there's going to be a link you can click to download these business card template
are without this local of course I if you're
if you're on the web saying right now I you can click that link
and it's basically a look like everything we have here without a doubt
logo
okay and a couple things I want to point out a min is now real quick
this is a TSU by three-and-a-half business card template
are to buy three and a half is a standard business card size
nowadays I you know there's all different types of
I you know creative types a business card out there these
in our business cards is business cards and blocks
even on you know i've seen. triangle a business cards
on anything that you know complete key people remember who you are
I thats that's how you build a bridge to people you know on
obviously meeting them in jerusalem tone them back services
but you know when they look at that car ride I were you know
in their cars on their fridge you hope that it stands out that maybe
they'll think you one day or somebody else would think a view I you know when
they're looking at their fridge inning oh that's a nice card you know
any kinda makes them think that this business
is a professional business because they have a very nice looking business card
so
back on the screen arm under that
%uh that headline you're gonna see on unity first on the black line is the
finished size the to buy three and a half so if you see where my mouse is
going right now
it's obviously a black line that's going to be the final size the business card
on this blue area out here
is the bleed area arm I like to at least
incorporate in a
a quarter vintage but I reviews in 8 because
long enough where no one eight is enough
so that if you edit a obvious obviously
to each side you're going to have your document go from to buy three and a half
to two and a quarter
i three and three quarters so on
that being said the if you're wondering what the Red gary is the red area
is the margin to stay within on
business cards
ish
not how as a chef but when they're printing on
you know interpreting large stacks in high stacks accords
are you wanna make sure that none of your copy is near the
edge because there's a chance that the copycat actually cuddle up
or you know if you have things are close to the edge you get your cut my goal
right to the end of your copy in a skillet
really funny because mackie's things obviously are not gonna be online
anymore
I if you had a nice arm headline don't do the whole thing
and was completely Senate on your card now people are gonna see without a doubt
that this thing is definitely off center so
something to keep in mind definitely I am but
the margin is where you wanna stay with them so anything
outside that read you should not have any type a sign that read
were logo elements are you get your background image obviously go to their
and your background image will if you have one cuz its gonna go through in its
gonna cover up with the bleeders
so that's how we're gonna read that template real quick
om and we're gonna take this ABC Company low that I created
and we're going to I you look over your layers
the temp Lee is on the bottom of the ladder other template I showed you
and now the logo is on top so
I we're going to design this logo on top in a template and
I'm going to go to lighten right up because it's
it's kind of annoying right now I'm to really designed around it
some like a man like a
percent transparency on it
so you can see it but it's it's very very faint
okay and we're gonna maybe take this logo
and since now since this is up to now on
and this is why it's good to look at other design and it's important
that this logo is a Malaki typable although
which will make it easy to design with because there's nothing really hanging
lock
on all by itself everything's kinda contain buddy is
the wider typable ok so om
if your government if you really want the local these big on your business
card
then where you gonna feel the information you name
are website %ah telephone numbers on
you know address the basic information what happens nowadays is a lot of people
create a two sided business cards
where on one side you have something very prominent like the logo
and maybe below the local you'll see like the web address span the whole car
that's a big thing these days on because it's it's an important thing
and obviously when they turn on the other side the card that's working
they're gonna get their meat and potatoes that's where they're going to
get all the information that they need
about you so but in this case we think really one sided card
on with this logo which means we're going to have to shrink this logo just a
bit
okay and in a poll this guy up here
okay and
and a minister building my text elements
I am see your name
right here actions production
him smear and below it
the way that I'm doing this is I'm holding out option
clicking and I'm dragging but I'm home a ship when I drag
so it creates a copy of that and keeps the same
fine but this guy up here
me john smith a little bit larger is obviously you want john standout
and following up I mean I'm using a sans-serif font right now which means
there's no Seraph something and kinda like this
ABC are if I wanted to keep the continuity obviously I would change the
sometimes
and I'm going to a line is to the right okay
on yachts leave at like that right now it's pretty cool and on to do
kiefer phone number and maybe
my area code I can give you my number
ok although it is on my business website
but whatever I see
p mouf for fax which is the same thing
on up a book by a lot of people do that what you can do is i mean
if you got you see a blue yet rare European got
our range I you may be changed the PE
to on lets you know make it is blue for right now
make it this blue it's close enough by
you know this stuff is not
mean this is this video I have a couple
minutes left work
on this is a lot of playing around what I do here
in Illustrator so you never going to get anything on the first try
and I from you sit here and and go to all my ideas
I may take awhile because I'm a terrible person some ease pay me a minute you
everything I can to make sure I have my best idea forward
a market to get an idea together real quick that big you'll love
but I know that I can assure cuttings in
that's not what you want to do that's bad business and I you know in the end
your you not gonna make out very well me n
by doing so I'll maybe come down here
and make a bar raining and I feel that way
this blew up here which is pretty cool
change angle of migrating in
and maybe put the web address really large you're so
going to come WWII BBC
company dot com con su
throw away in their gonna make this guy little bit bigger
nowadays is really good to have your website prominent
on the keys that were people going online and everything about you
when they start to decide if they want to call you or not
so it's I it's like having a conversation
without them actually talking to you so
learning about your company why listening to testimony old stuff like
that
so kinda I the subsea centered yes it is
wages did that was I I grabbed the point hold hold SHIFT and option income just
I does that mean that the args I guess and I'm doing a quick fix on this
om we are going to want to add the bleed here
so just like my believed Williams can drag this guy out
om problem at a hundred percent dead on bitches for this tutorial I am a few
minutes left and
in here I'll
drug tests to cleary
means re it sounds kinda like dat
so many ways you can lay out business cards
I mean I don't even think it's its I'm not gonna do tutorials on
on laying out business cards are ready tutorials on car
on web sites that have awesome business card layout see Cameron from
on because that's really the best way you can learn
along with messing around with himself obviously
all these guys down because what's happening here because my rulers
I want everything the kinda in with this company ends I want everything the kinda
and at the same area so in this case I'm actually a poll is down a bit
on and what I would probably do last is
this whole big space in your I may put like a couple the services cell
I'll meet my beloved point real quick
oMG you that might make an appearance did
I like to actually do elect little lapses
ABC Company I love mine
I'm configure this one real quick
us looks kinda funny
rain on
copies babies over to
re and you get the point
this case I'm kinda just
I in the fact to align these up so
I'm that's a basic business card
I you know just for a couple services I my changes around
actually what I probably would do is with this have a business card with the
way everything is laid out
I probably wanna make a horizontal card om
because that will be a lot better for the logo
thats their is with this kinda like media tour ok workers on a nighttime
I'm BabyCenter everything a little bit better
I'm smear
year sky
and these color bars really separate things it's very much Its a very nice
I'll look he's in a locked car buyers
on the sea your I
three's a first-line and the web address

Romney's at work where make sure the spaced out
