How to design a business card using AdobeВ® InDesignВ® CS6 !!!

hello and welcome to my life first
screencast in now my series on using Adobe InDesign
today we're going to be doing is using InDesign version cs How to design a business card using AdobeВ® InDesignВ® CS6 !!! we will be creating a business card and not only are we going to you
use InDesign to you know do some actual
design work we will hop into bowls
Adobe Photoshop cs6 Adobe Illustrator cs
to explore some other concepts that we need to understand
to create not only a beautiful design but a design that will print well when
we bring it to the printers
color business cards so for example yes I go into in designing golf
filed so create a new document keyboard shortcut
command on the back or control and on PC
GE a
new document dialog box that we have InDesign
a in design lets you create rigs and Paul
a a document with the intent as treating it
sending it to the web or digital publishing so business cards being
printed
matter we will choose Print one page only
and the page size in now
in design we have a whole bunch of different standards
size is sold letter Z half by eleven
legal is


tabloid is
you have European sizes you have half sizes you have compact
disc
but we also have a traditional US size business card
so the business card is fine we have
the a option love choosing portrait mode which would be to cart standing up
or landscape mode which is like damn
columns are a a very useful saying in design in general when we have
a fair amount of space to use structure considering that a business cards for
small will go ahead
only use one column but we will change the default march in size from

what now notice that we have the Lord chain
icon depressed over here its way it's dark and if I tab
out as the top box automatically
all the values will be changed to the value that I changed manually
that's what the a chain does it makes all the settings
same now because we are going to be sending this to the printers it's
important to click the
more options bach here and
take a look at the bleed and slug now
slug is not something that will you know be very important for us
it's an extra area where
people can include information for the printer the
very few applications actually let you define
the area for the slug and people who have been a graphics industry for a long
time
especially those who used to use cork are not necessarily familiar with the
slug it's actually become much more
well understood since Adobe InDesign came out
and there's actually the slug area right document dialog box
what is important for us is the fleet
now the bleed is the part
as the document that you will prints
onto a.m. so that when you cut your business card at exactly the right size
that color
actually makes all the way to the edge now for example if you are going to
design a white business card in your book printed on white paper
bleed is not very important but if you're going to put a picture
on part have your business card and you want that picture to go all the way to
the edge
you actually have to print your
business card on AIM piece a paper slightly bigger than what you want as a
final product
so that the pictures printed bigger
Zen the final card and then once the ink is dry
the printer actually cuts them down to the proper size and actually cut away a
little bit of color picture
and that is what we call lead now the bleed value
is and a to manage so I can put in
.
I n
Indesit understands I in for being inches
and as I tab to the next box because once again my chain icon is
clicked over here it converts it automatically
points
so that's perfectly okay and as you can see over here
I have my business card the black line that's their
is the actual edge loves the paper the red line
is where the bleeders so if I'm going to place a picture for example and I want
it to go at least
to the edge here I'm going to extend it
all the way to the red line so that when the printer cuts
he can actually cut through picture
a the purple and pink lines in the middle the car
that's my margin it's important to respect your margin
because there's no guarantee that as the printer actually prints the card
that it's always going to mean remain
dead-on centered sometimes it wiggles a little bit
the paper itself is is paper it's not super super strong so sometimes a little
stretch a bit is sure there's lots of humidity it may be a little bigger
then if the papers totally dry so there it's an organic material so there is
some
what have you know a.m. variants
indeed the printing process and you have to allow for that it's perfectly normal
so we will add a little bit have extra picture
just in case something goes wrong now once again I'm zooming out so we can see
the business card over here
and what I'm going to do is I'm actually going to put
a logo on one side as a card and I'm going to put some text information on
the other side
this is going to be a one sided card only
and what I'm going to do using gonna keep it very simple
so down here I am going to you
pick my text to or the type
and I am going to click on the margin over here
I'm going to drag a text frame
so that it feels the right hand portion
%uh my cart now I was just going to invent some information here so I'm
gonna call the year
the client the person who has the car like on John Smith
now John Smith a lives on

Main Street
of course I want that to be a capital dish
and I world make him live let's say
in I don't know Boston Massachusetts
and his postal code will be or zip code for the Americans
I live in a one two three four five six
now design is not only about you know
technically making sings appear properly it's about assigning a certain amount
love importance to you the more important things and
that is signing a visual importance to its alright now John Smith's
is as important as his mailing address over here so I actually want
to make him look a bit more imports old doubled the size of this name
and I am you know I might sort of bring this down a little bit so it's not
floating all the way there at the top and I will actually put
shears information a bit lower their sold
this is starting to look you know a bit more fancy so we've got
disinformation here all insists perfectly legible and let's not forget
that we have to be able to call him so
let's say

the to one to


sup for
number
so right now just information that we have
placed on the business card these are facts now
for those of you who have paid attention to the products in the Adobe Creative
Suite
Linux software adobe illustrator for example
is the sector based illustration program
if you've ever used it you know that you can draw squares and circles control
lines and
these lines are basically mathematical
little definitions in other words you draw a circle in Illustrator
and in the background Illustrator is doing all the map that says this
is a circle and you can print it at any scale because the math doesn't change so
whether the circle is an inch wider foot wider
feet wide
still circle fonts are basically the same thing
they are sector based drawings that a type designer has taken hours upon hours
to
literally hand draw each character
in the entire alphabet so uppercase and lowercase characters all the punctuation
a all the digits and also you know also two symbols
imagine you know the the monies sign the pound sign the Asterix
you know hash mark in and everything else so it's actually a lot of work
the beauty ovett is because it is a vector-based drawing you can scale your
type
any size and I'll come out perfectly fine
that is exactly the opposite the concept of Adobe Photoshop
sold the shop is a pixel editor and pixels our little tiny squares
so the squares look good at their original size
you may you let's say make them smaller but you can't make so many bigger
are within let's say maybe
percent could probably get away with it
but after that enlarging pixels is a big no no
so if I want to place let's say a
a logo on the side this card
I have to you options I can either go
into you Adobe Illustrator and create a logo there
which is the recommended way cuz you never really know how big that world is
going to be used
obviously it's gonna be very small business card but what if they wanna
make a banner to hang on the side
building thats easy with illustrator illustrator
art worker skills very well
in Photoshop you have to know what your final product is in create the file
specifically for that
so if I jump into Adobe Illustrator sheer
and may create a new file a what I want to do in this case I'm gonna keep it
really simple
I'm actually going to make a document that
is eight house by
and is just going to be something that looks very much
let's say like the
the Japanese slacks I'm basically scummy a red circle
ago pretend that it really looks like a
like a love so I can't draw circle over here
and I can go into lets in my color picker in the toolbox
over here I'm gonna make the middle red
and I am actually gonna take away the black line
now considering that I want this to be a logo I'm going to come back over here
and I'm going to make my text weights
and hoops made a mistake there change I did not d select my circle
Dez circle the
take my textile and I will simply take
logo
so that starting to look like about the right size
hit is black I'd did sailed
wait so I've selected it I will come over here
sick white and there you go
one really really fancy logo now if I save this
and I'll
actually go put this in a specific spot
and Eric we have seen the logo now
this is an eight half by eleven pager got a very big logo
Shearer and if I go into my finder and angles
find the spot where I ceived its on my computer
my local file
is actually very small you can see it down here it is
megabytes
considering that it's an eight-and-a-half by
sheet of paper
a
makes is not very very big compare
is at artwork to exactly the same thing in Adobe Photoshop
sup going to Photoshop ago in News I am going to make it
a US sized piece paper so
letter-size ate half by eleven
DPI
which is what we should have when we r
printing and I will call this logo
as well now I'm gonna come
into you for shopping going to select spread
I am going to choose a the selection tool that his round
and I am going to basically do exactly the same artwork
so as you can see here
it's starting to look good very very very reminiscent to what they did
telustrator now go back take my text tool once again I'll
click over here and I will take them
world logo
so I have this document it's basically pretty much the same thing
fun sucking exactly same but that years besides pot
I'll save this file as
a a certified which is quite standards for going into
into print answer to file
down here I have to make color profile
and I will go six
go back to the Finder take a look at my logo dot ATI

Magus take a look at the same load on built in Photoshop

huge its over
times the size
up the other one and yet the print quality should be exactly the same
the in Serie the
illustrator one should be cleaner but it is a
DPI
file it is you know in perfect to alignment with industry standards
so when you're doing
you know design a lot love the technical aspects in a boil down to what software
are you going to use to do the job
logo design as I mentioned before because
we really have no idea where the logo it's going to be used in the future we
treat the most versatile file possibles
we build it illustrator not that you can't do it in Photoshop but
Photoshop is pixels it's limited to the size that you made it right now it's an
eight and a half by eleven
it will treat beautifully but try and print something the size is building
it's not going to work out so back to our
InDesign file I all is at was leading up to the idea that we have our
InDesign file and we will place an external documents so
a picture picture the logo and will place that
into the layout over here so what I want to do in the first case
is go to Z Adobe Illustrator file
and put that basically
on my a.m. this mister yet whoops
I made a mistake there so let me just do that because I did not
d select this for textfree
I want this I want this cursor
to appear here so that I can actually place the logo on the side so
when you go into the place command just make sure that you don't have a
previously created box selected because it will replace whatever's in there with
what you're trying to place
so if I come over here notice that my logo shows up
at its real size which is huge
way to bake remember I design something a half by eleven
time
business card now the beauty
love Illustrator is that I can take let's see the edges
box over here I can make that basically
shit and I can even right click on that box
and going to the feeding a.m.
contextual menu and I want to fit the
content proportionally inside that box
and you see that you know InDesign
automatically comes in and does all the math for me and places it perfectly
also notice that I'm Way too far I am going beyond the Black
edge over here and going beyond the paper I'm even going beyond the bleed
and my a logo would be cut off some actually
just move overlooked but and I'm going to keep it
within the margins so
the moral of the story is that when you have
artwork coming from illustrator you really
do not have to worry about size
a.m. because it's vector-based artwork it will fit perfectly fine
and you know even if you are in large in it or reducing it because it's
vector-based
you basically have nothing to worry about you play set you
mi amigo look pretty and you keep on going
the fact that this might be something like maybe

percent its original size because it's vector-based
information that is completely irrelevant
now if we switch hats and we decide to move this
off to the side creates a year
a new text box not text box that picture box sorry
frame a a.m.
not take frame I will make it in the century the same position over here
and I will place my
Photoshop
once again I will right click on yes I will go into sitting
and I will still life frame proportionally
more to cart proportional
my local still there okay it is working okay
but look what happens when we go in and we take a look
at the links palette and this is where
ifs you know you know what you're looking for you can spot
trouble GE actual PPI
over here so the pixels per inch saved in the file
is
that's what I need to print but because I've made my logo so much
smaller than the size
at which was that three hundred Paul
pixels per inch has become
in
eighty which technically is way way way too much
I am you could get by you know almost


you know about
percent more but after that
the more you go up or in fact the more you go
down to go down too far you lose quality but you go
up too far you lose quality as well
and the other thing to pay attention to you is that the color space
owes exists logo is in RGB
RGB is great for things that end up on the screen
but terrible issue trying to go print
so to trick is too take a look
at what you doing and shaker out just how big that picture has to be
now for example if we take wine guide in weekly sit here
in illustrator and we take another guide
over here this is the Wits
that I want my logo to be at
its widest you can a
let's say moves the
the ruler by grabbing the top corner over here moving
that
aligning its on the guide
and we can see that right now we will put this in inches to make
rather simple and are width
is just shy of about an inch and a half so
let's keep it let's say image in a quarter just to you
makes things easy on ourselves so if I go back to Photoshop
this is what I want but it's ate half by eleven
I want it to be an inch and a quarter white
so I'm going to do is in Photoshop I go into
image size: and I can do it in inches
I want my wits to be an inch and a quarter but because there's a little bit
await space on either side do it image
so little bit of extra notice that my 24 megabyte file
will now become
kilobytes
so radically smaller than the first
still
DPI just a lot shorter
so it has been resized if I take a look at it
at a hundred percent it's much smaller
and remember that RGB the color space was wrong
a I'm going to flatten my image to get rid
v the text layer that was urs who had
text floating on top of the red circle
such slightly image and I will convert it to CMYK
RGB is lights so like balancing of the paper
but seem like a are the angst actually on the paper going to the printers
we need colored thanks
click K and now I will just save this file
go back to my hard drive take a look at me my
AI file Adobe Illustrator still
meg
my a CMYK TS that has been reduced to the proper size

makes a little bigger not by much
and now if I go back to Photoshop notice that there's this little warning sign
over here on the edge of my picture box tell me that something is wrong
and it is echoed by the same a.m.
warning symbol inside my links power so
it means that the original source file has been modified
and if I double click that it will update
noticed that the little symbol of years gone there was a ser
redrawing of the preview on screen I come over here at my color spaces CMYK
and my effective PPI right now
is
so it has
you know is sort of slightly reduced inside this window but I can always
change that I can come back lets it to my sitting
and center it
we're still my friend proportionally or fit my content proportionally rather
so that its resize to the proper size
right now it was fit before
still image is kind of like foresight to be a little bit bigger
you can see that it's gone from three hundred
the actual PPI to an effective PPI

I will say that thats
okay for now it's
percent which is okay
ideally you should have

dead-on but for the purposes have today will say that it's good enough
so right now I have my logo on one side I have my
text on the other and the only thing I want to use I want to
had a little bit of color so that my car
you know how does a little bit have designed cents to it and
also I want to take advantage in fact that I want to use the fleet
so putting a background color is really not terribly difficult we create a box
and we go into the color picker and we choose a color
so for example I can come it's a over here
and choose something are probably still in the reddish
area so somewhat have a relationship
to my my red logo
and I'll take away the actual
take with that the black train there so I can do this over here for example in C
Knoll outline so no stroke around the box
and I will move this square this frame rather
on top of my design and right now
because I created it after the logo
a InDesign understands it as being on top
but I want it to be behind so once again I can right click
and I can use the arrange
can to sent that box to the back
and shares my logo over here
you'll notice that the logo comes in with a white background
I can actually play with that aunt
you know define the relationship between
one placed element and another with different options
so for example we have the logo TF which is here's a logo AI which is on the edge
we have
you know the tax and we have the rectangle
so what I want to do is I actually want to play with my
a I file over here and
I'm going to go into something called
its let's find it where is it it is
d transparency
obviously you can tell that to I have been using
other applications for quite a while and sometimes some
the things that I used to do that same work express kinda feel effete median
other applications but the
what I want to do is I want to come and I want to change the
qualities love this box over here
and their ago so it was in the right click I was looking droplets
so effects transparency
and basically I want to gears this layer if you will
channel preview so that the
you know what is on the
the layer ever seen its white I wanted to disappear
so wake not darken anything kennett so
dark n gets rid of the white it changes the color of my read a little bit
boats you know I can always try dear friends
options over here to see if they give me what I want
and you know this is part of the creative process over here you are going
to you
you know do exactly what you want artistically by using different
combinations of features
inside the software
so let's say that you know just to keep things simple
I'm going to use it dark and and I'm happy with that
so what we have is we have
the actual business card remember that the outlined over here the black outline
is the edge of my paper
the red outline is where the bleed must go
there's no bleed on this area over here
there's basically white that goes all the way to the edge so there's nothing
to be worried about their
but because I want this over here and I want
this brownish color to go all the way to the edge
of my card I have to put it at least
all the way to the bleed line which is in
red I can go beyond it that's not a problem but if you were to stop short of
it
I the printer could have some problems with it might be very difficult for him
to you
hide it without giving you a little sliver
white paper something like that so you can be generous there's nothing to worry
about as long as you respect
the area of the lead you should be okay so
right now I'm going to say that I've actually finish this business card
the easiest way to send this to the printer is to actually make
and Adobe PDF now in design is a great program for tree eating PDF's because
its Adobe technology so you know to Adobe products one creates the other
without
any problem whatsoever so in the presets you have high-quality print which is
actually not for going to the printers it's more for doing high-quality color
photocopies Lesar output something like that good quality
but not color separations and actual
you know income paper PDF X
is et cetera for industry-standard PDF stat are built to
perfect specifications among other things are good for archival
a are archiving digital documents
teaching simple I'm just gonna choose Press quality
as in printing press so Press Club it's perfectly OK
and I will be saving this in the same locations
so inside my folder with
my two lokos so I'm gonna call this business card and I will simply

now because I chose the proper preset over here
I went to press quality the export PDF box comes and it has the press quality
setting over here so it is a preset
but most listings that are here you will basically leaves
alone there's there's no options to go inning change
but what you do you want to do is you want to have the marks and bleeds and
these are the
pieces of information if you will that the printer needs to be able to do a
good job
in other words you check all printers marks the crop marks bleed registration
color bars
all of this information will be printed around the area the business card so for
example the printer knows where to cut
so that all the cards exactly the same size they will have let's say the
registration marks which are little symbols
so that when the printer prints with four bank's site
and magenta yellow and black to their all perfectly aligned one on top of the
other
and the other thing that we need to do is we have to make sure that our
lead information is actually being used so
use document please settings and what we put in when we went
new document is there automatically so we don't even have to do anything
and then you just hit the expert but so
believe it or not we're actually done if we take a look
inside our business cards this
is what our final product looks like
so we have the actual business card
GE's colored boxes at the top are references for the printer so when he
has to print a pure black he will measure
this black over here to make sure that it is dark enough
same thing for the White has to be pure white it can't be let's say slightly
gray
and they have measurements for all the tones in between so if the printing
presses going a bit too dark kiln
same thing that's going too late it will be obvious when they checked this over
here
the other color bar the the other bar is for colors so we have yellow magenta
site and blue which is a mix of Scion Image into
trine which is Scion in yellow and so if there's
wanna the being said is not printing in the proper proportion
these colors will be off so once again your printer will be aware of that
GE mark center over here these are called the
crop marks so when the printer has to cut your cart she's basically gonna
follow these lines as
died and cut through that
these little target things are the registration marks this is what
the printer uses to be able to print is for peaks in
perfect alignment they have to completely match up with that
and this is exactly what we can send to the printer
it goes straight from PDF to the printers there's no need to send the
InDesign file anymore
it is simply a PDF based workflow
so as a summary remember that you want to you
use CMYK elements inside
in design so you print with printing kinks not RGB light
and your PDF must be pre quality
and include all the printers marks that for
let's say graphic design
covers most of the mistakes that people will do when
they go to the printers for the first time
RGB elements inside a print project
improper bleed and no printers marks
so that's the beginning she can member that you'll do fine

5 Tips to Create the Perfect Business Card - How To Design Professional Business Cards
Hi! I'm Antonio Centeno. I'm the founder of Real Men Real Style. Today, I'm going to be
talking about the perfect business card. I'm going to give you five tips on how to create 5 Tips to Create the Perfect Business Card | How To Design Professional Business Cards !!! the ideal card for any situation.
Before we get into this, guys, you know what I'm going to ask, for you to subscribe to
my YouTube channel. That way, these videos come right to you. You don’t miss any of
them and they're delivered right to your inbox because if they're not, you're going to miss
my ghost videos, which you guys know I'd put out there and they're only out there for about

to
printing photos online hours. If you miss those, you don’t get the link from YouTube saying, "Hey, Antonio
has uploaded a new video." Well, you're just never going to see them. You're going to miss
them. Let's just say I'm going to have fun with those ghost videos.
Let's go ahead and jump into the content. Guys, these five tips aren't going to apply
for every single one of you, and that's the key. Number one, you need to understand your
purpose for the business card. Me, I'm a business owner. I have multiple businesses. When I
use business cards and I go to events, sometimes I'm speaking. Other times, I'm simply sitting
back in the audience, but I'm at a point with my business where I'm pretty selective about
who I want to spend time with.
So my business cards are geared a little bit differently. They actually say just simply
"business owner" on them. They only have my email address because honestly, I am very
careful about who gets my phone number now. That business card, for many people, especially
if you look online, they'll say it violates a number of rules, but for me, it serves my
purpose. It actually is something that has plenty of room that I can write on the back
of it and it sends the message that I want to send.
A good example, I met a guy named Chris Brogan who's at the New Media Expo, shook his hand.
He didn’t know me from atom, but I knew who Chris is. Chris is actually one of the
leaders on the internet, just for the last decade has been someone out there leading
the charge on what the worthy internet is taking us and what it's going to do. He's
got a very popular blog.
Now, when he looked at my business card and he saw "owner", it immediately sparked his
interest. I also mentioned at some point where he picked up that I was in the Marine Corps,
so all of a sudden, he meets a Marine who's a business owner. It turns out he owns The
Business Owner Magazine, so he was very interested. It turned into a guest post.
Now, my purpose was to send the message and to connect with other business owners, people
that are running companies that I respect and I knew that they would pick up on that
kind of stuff, so my business card, number one, served its purpose.
Now, let's look for you. If you're out there looking for a job, then that business card
needs to in a sense send that message. You don’t want to be using a business card from
some other company you used to work at. Instead, get a new business card that actually says
-- maybe it lists some of your unique skills, some of the things that sets you apart, not
a full resume because you don’t want the card to be cluttered, but you want to make
that positive first impression. You want it to be memorable. That's very important because
if you're memorable, you're actually referable.
Oftentimes, you're going to meet somebody, give them your card, and to be honest, there's
not going to be a connection. There's not really a way that they can help you. However,
if you're memorable, if you're somebody that strikes into their memory, then you'll be
able to -- in a sense, when they meet somebody and they're like, "You know, I just met someone
that you need to meet," and they could pull out your card, they're going to be able to
make that connection, so number one, focus in on the purpose of your card.
Number two, keep it simple. Make sure the card is readable. You will not believe how
many business cards I get from other people, and they're actually difficult to read. They're
actually cluttered with information. It's actually even hard to understand who is this
person and what are they doing. Make sure you use a readable font. Not everyone actually
has perfect vision. A lot of people, they may misread it and they'll simply throw it
away. You get a very short time frame. So again, make sure it's got your best contact
information and multiple forms of contact information.
Now, I just said that I violate this rule, but I do it on purpose to create barriers,
but if you're out there looking for a job, you want to have a great email, a professional
email. You want to have your phone number. You perhaps want to have your LinkedIn profile
so that they can go see that. Not everyone is going to want to have their LinkedIn profile,
but for you, it's probably going to be important because it's going to be relevant again to,
number one, your purpose.
The other thing is that some people just prefer to talk different ways. I like to talk on
the phone. I also like to interact with people, believe it or not, via videos. Sometimes I
send people video messages, but a lot of people don’t like to do that. They would rather
type everything out, so that's why you also want to have multiple forms of contact so
that the person that wants to reach out to you with an opportunity can reach you via
their preferred method.
The last thing about it is make sure it's clean. This is where you want to have room.
[
I like to keep it clean because I do carry a pen and oftentimes, I can write on the back
especially if I'm speaking to someone and they're really creating a great, solid impression.
I sometimes write notes because I don’t have to remember it, then I can put that business
card in my pocket.
So we've talked about having your purpose, keeping it simple. The other part, number
three, is make sure the information is accurate. I have actually received business cards in
which the information -- they just had them printed out and the information wasn't accurate.
This also applies if you are changing jobs or you're with a new company. Don’t give
somebody your old business card. That may be all you have, but it doesn’t send the
right impression, so don’t go with a pen mark.
That's another thing I see, which is really bad, is that people just write -- they'll
scratch it out and they'll write their new phone number. To me, that shows a lack of
preparation that you're not taking this super seriously. And honestly, it's much harder
to read, so we're going back up to the part of it being simple and readable.
A lot of times, I can't read it or if it gets wet, all of a sudden it smudges. Guess what?
I'm not going to be able to contact you. Please make sure it's the right company. It's one
of those things oftentimes when we look at it and you want to make sure that's associated
with you. So we've talked about purpose, simplicity, making sure it's accurate. Make sure it's
professional.
Now, we've talked about this at the very beginning, but look at the email. Oftentimes, people
are using these email addresses like fatheroffivekids@aol.com. Now, that's cool. I'm having my fourth child
on the way, so I respect being a dad, but when I see a business email like that, I'm
wondering, does this guy actually take it that seriously? That's a personal email.
Don’t use personal emails unless they look professional. Gmail is pretty good. The new
Outlook emails aren't bad. The Hotmail emails, I know, have gone away, but there are a number
of emails out there that are really long and convoluted. Try to avoid things. Go with something
simple, something that's clean, something that's professional. I would avoid Yahoo!
emails as well. Just the word "yahoo", if you look up what it means, it actually doesn’t
have a professional sound to it. I don’t know. Maybe the company will rebrand at some
point.
The other thing is make sure that the actual card is clean. I know this should go without
saying, but I've had people hand me smudged, dirty cards that they had in their back pocket
for I don’t know how long. Honestly, I don’t want to even touch the thing.
The other thing is have a system for handing out cards. What do I mean by this? Whenever
I hand out cards, my right pocket contains my business cards. My left pocket on my jacket
contains the business cards of others. So when I take your business card, I put it -- it
depends on the gentleman. Sometimes, I often acknowledge the card. I look at it. There
are some cultures where you want to acknowledge the card. Basically, it's a sign of disrespect
if you put it away too quickly, but I always put them in my left pocket. Then I take out
my business cards and hand it to them from my right pocket.
The reason I do this -- and I've seen people hand me other people's business cards especially
at networking events where business cards are going all over the place, so make sure
you've got a system for it. Again, that's my system. Feel free to copy it, but that's
the one that works for me.
The last thing, and this is something I see again and again, is have plenty of business
cards. I see people that go to conferences and after the first day, they have run out
of cards. Don’t let that be you. Really plan ahead. If you're going to a conference
with
people, we'll take
business cards. That's a good amount. A lot of times,
people go there and they take
or
business cards.
If you do that, you need to be really strategic in who you hand them out to. Otherwise, you're
going to run out very quickly, and who knows? You could easily give out
business cards
in
minutes if you're someone that's really working the room and meeting a lot of people.
I know for me, because I'm a speaker, a lot of people want my business cards, so I'll
simply put a small stack in front and people can just come by and grab it and reach out
to me later.
Another thing I do with business cards is I strategically place them in various points
so that even if I mistakenly forget my big stack, I've got in all of my sports jackets
-- I've actually got about
to
business cards in various pockets on the inside. I
do this because I don’t forget my sports jackets and the business cards are always
there, so that's one thing I do.
Another thing is I carry the case. Actually, I have a very nice case, which if we go back
to keeping them professional, looks very nice. It keeps them clean, but actually having the
case, putting it in my luggage, it's actually on my checklist whenever I pack and I go places.
Another place I keep business cards, inside my car or truck. Now, if I'm flying, I'm not
going to have access to it, but a lot of times I'll go some place and by having
to

business cards in the console of my vehicle, I can always go back out and grab those, and
then be armed at least with those
to 100 cards.
[
The final place where I keep at least five business cards is inside my wallet. Now, sometimes
they do get a little bit beat up and yes, we're going to violate that, but that's better
than me having nothing. I keep them in a small little case, a little plastic case that actually
does a decent job of protecting them. No smudges get on them, but they do get bent up occasionally.
However, that's better than not having anything.
Let me know what you think and hopefully you found this video useful. I would love for
you guys to go over to Real Men Real Style and join my email list, and grab your copy
of my free 47-page ebook on men's style. I actually give a number of tips on how to be
a better man, on how to use certain different techniques. We talk about negotiation. We
also talk about things like this, this business card, and how to be a better man.
So hopefully, you guys found this video useful. I'll see you in the next video. Take care.
Bye-bye.

Free Business Card Template Photoshop !!!

English - free business card template photoshop English - free business card template photoshop
Hi Besties! A lot of you are looking to get business cards
for your businesses But you don't know where to go
or you just want to design them yourself If you have Photoshop I can help you a touch Free Business Card Template Photoshop !!! with this tutorial I found a blog post that has
free business
card templates for photoshop. I'll have the link below this video
Click Don't forget to like and subscribe if you
like the link. Z! Go get the computer so we can show them
how to edit the free business card template in photoshop!
When working with the template and the photoshop, the first thing that you wanna do is to always
business cards printing services click on the arrow here just so that you have the right tools selected
You're not typing anything in funny and yeah So here we have I opened this and out of that
business cards I gave you the ones that I am choosing to edit these ones
So there are two sides the front side and the back side Open both of those. Now keep
in mind that when you open your template you're probably not going to have the same fonts
as the template so be prepared for your photoshop and show these little exclamation points in
the corner You'll just need to find a similar font or
just one that you like and when you click it you will get this 'Oh we're gonna substitute
it for something we think it's close, but usually, it's not even close.
So what I'm gonna do with this is I'm gonna actually find a font that is closest as possible
to it and then I'm going to work literally with this character pallet just pushed it
in like it was so that it's close to that font already.
You might want to change the words first and then you can change the colors if you like
it and then select this box up here then you can select different colors from this color
pallet or you can go in to the color library and change the colors here. If you're going
to print the business cards, I suggest the color a color library that says pantone in
front of it because these colors will keep your file and CMYK for printing, then you
know that it's gonna be the closest match to it.
Now keep in mind that every computer screen also varies so what you're picking out here
the ink color might not come up exactly the same unless you actually have a pantone booklet
printed out and those are very expensive if you're just doing business cards. You're not
no one to get pantone books so just keep in mind that your business cards might not come
up exactly like you choose just because your computer screen might vary but it will be
pretty close and a little bit good enough if you're not gonna hire someone and then
you gonna have to accept that it might be close to the color you want but if for example
you choose this yellow it might come out this yellow. So it would be the same color but
different variation. If you keep grays and blacks or very solid colors like that then
it should come out just fine like that. So here we have the arrow tool and then we
have a text tool here and you click on the text tool every time you need to change a
number and then the emails and then you can also here in the layers if you drag this up
a little bit. In the layers, you will see all the different if you double click this
T it also like that font as well and highlight it and once again I'm going to shrink it down
so that it looks the same as the other font. We can do that with all of them and you can
see the different folders and these would be the icons and if you're like I wonder what
this is, I use the eyebrow tool and you can click it off and then back on. The clicking
doesn't delete it, it just turns it off and makes that invisible.
So you can see these are all the icons over there and if you click the eyebrow, you can
see which one controls which graphic because in photoshop you can't just click on a graphic
and move it. You have to find the exact layer for over here and then click on it and then
move it. This is very basic
photoshop skills and if you are very new to photoshop
and you don't even know the basic tools, I truly suggest you get a $
subscription to
Lynda just for 1 month and just take like three class, they're like
They have video tutorials on just the quick tools. It's
fixed and you're not hiring
someone to do your business cards for you. Or else, choose someone to do your business
cards for you and we have some discounts in the forum richmombusiness.com to do discounts
for you as well so that should help you out too and then here's the stripe and then the
background color as well. Pretty simple. And then you can do the same thing to this side.
Double click it. You're not gonna always have to shrink it down sometimes the computer will
have the match font already that's just if you don't have the font for the template already.
So go ahead and take a look at the templates that I have down the video for you and pick
one out and just open it right up in photoshop and then start missing with the text. You
shouldn't be have to do anything else unless the text and like the color of the text which
you can do up here or if you want to do the background here then you want to go to the
paint bucket here select a color and then just paint it. So use the paint bucket if
you have like any background colors or if it is like like an icon like this. That's
the background of the icon we can see how these colors overlay so you can't just paint
bucket it in because it's not just gonna work. So click cover overlay if you see that and
you can change that color as well. Don't forget to grab my book "Home Business
Startup Bible" on Amazon or Barnes & Noble and you can even borrow it free on Amazon
Prime. Luv u all
Peace out yo! *** ***

Setting up for print (Business Cards) InDesign !!!

the peep
what's up guys trying to create a gurney dot com television geysers
your documents up for print within InDesign and specifically for business Setting up for print (Business Cards) InDesign !!! cards
not this tutorial can benefit you know a lot of different ways because you hope
you become more familiar rise between design
as well the print process now I quickly made it his business card to show you
what we're gonna be doing to this tutorial
and yes you see here we know it is really simple business cards
are now to turn up the preview window you to sit W to turn it off and on
professional printing and as you see there once we do that we have to choose all that these grades in
lives near one-to-one /url lose are before start
are showing you how to set this up on explain you what you to these things are
the red outlined here are bound
are document is called are we'd essentially the bleeders their
it extends past the document window up
to ever amount size you set it to as
a kind of like a safe zone for when printing and it pretty much just account
for the movement of the printers
so there's a if you normally had I no bleed on there and you would go to print
and say the printer limine was off and he predicting sideways then you have a
problem
this pretty much eliminates that altogether by making sure when it goes
to print you're not going to have that
issue are now fighter turned the background of
BBC that on we have a document window here
and the Red buying goes about it inch or a quarter inch outside over document
window
and like I said that's is there to cap for any print issue so if you're
I wanting to trim it out as well on
you don't have to worry about I'll om cutting it and they're messing up in
having a white line
you're always going to have a clean collar coat all throughout
if you have a lead on their on so I do that promotes all my prince
our prime out with that and the economy exactly like the ruler
and you're always going to get a clean cut no matter if you mess up
so that's always a helpful way to make sure you're always going to ensure a
clean cut you know especially if you're
arms you know printing on expensive paper
in your life
pre you don't wanna have that
a possibility messing up to you always want to make sure
that you always have this do are set up now this purple on here's our margin
and such a dash is there to keep everything I nascent
organize and you came design outside a bit
but it is is they're saying okay this is where are
all my info tax images and stuff like that is going to be contained and I
don't want to go inside or outside it
and as you see here all my text in whatever
lines up to the margin and doesn't go outside it and that's just a nice
helpful way to keep things on ice
and organized on so now and show you guys how to set up a document like this
and how you get it ready for print so you go cue to file
new document command and or control and if your own PC
and what you gonna do you gonna have a new dialog box not generally
the preview section stern all you wanna make sure that's turned on C&C
with your documents doing as you can see here I
so up for when you first get it you're gonna have
the int sometimes it's set to Wed and that's going on actually said
pixels now you don't want that instead you I C
printing
and you wanted in inches is dead pixels so you always wanna make sure that is
on print and you're gonna make sure facing pages
unchecked now generally facing pages when you go to print its gonna print
front to back which
most printers can't do unless you have a printer that can print of front and back
pages
om but I truly don't print front to back because there's always
the printers that I always use always mess up the alignment of it so it is
always easier to
print individual pages and then trim about yourself now
generally you might have to happy simply just turned on if you saying sons to
print shop
on and they're like okay to deter basic pieces on that's the only time you
really have to you
but Gen II tend to keep that of
now now for the paper size gonna change it to US business card
which is
inches by two inches
and that's a standard our size for any business card
are but you can't really be anything you want odds hits all within budget
com and for number pages one said that it too because I was the one
a fun and Backpage are now
for the margins which was talking about boris has purple line
and as you can see it set up about a half an inch and
we don't want that we want it about a quarter-inch
likes so and thats is going to give us
I enough room to put all over contents inside without going too close to the
edge
and out down here is our lead NR slug which is was talking earlier
I'll now this is how far you can
disturb leaders essentially like a seko's pastor documents so you wanna set
how much you want to go past it
so I'll we could set this to the same inch
and see how big that box now as we see here inches
we too big for our business cards now you can send in an age
I'll but you really generally don't need to waste that much Inc
so we can send it out up

and that looks good to me that is gives us enough
room that we could trim without having any issues
now axes actually just clicked off that it mean to say let's go back to a
computer
I'll who file and document setup
and so if you'd like I just did there if you ever messed up where you want to
come back in edit something in your docking he's got here
file and document setup now
I for the slot you generally don't need to use log
are because we're not printing on old presses like to do so essentially with
the slug is
it was used for typesetting and typesetting you know originally was used
with wooden blocks and let blocks and there was stamp down
and you know that I'll take this is for me up but
slot was essentially there to account for the spaces in between paragraphs
and that's all that's therefore home whites in
II InDesign I'm not too sure because you know it's not really
I've never really had to use it I and II printed books before hitting the road to
use it so I don't really know whites in there but its ensuites as the whole time
type thing are you really can ignore it
our own so yeah that's quick history there
Priya for and we can just hit okay as you see here
resume now we have with our front I
and back document here I'll
now it's very easy to do once you have it set up now
another show you guys how I designed this because it's pretty straightforward
I'm pretty much here to show you guys have set up your document
and stuff like that now to set up for print
like this where it has all the bleed and what not I
made up a PDF here real quick for you guys to show you I
what happens when you print with cleaning stuff like that
so we go to print its gonna give you options for all marks
weeds and stuff like that and you're gonna when it prints out you're gonna
get a whole bunch of garbage
you deal with all this now essentially what it is
II CDs %uh circles here with the crosshairs are your registration marks
you generally don't need those
especially when you print business cards are but I just put them on their
for reference to show you what they are by general you don't need them in this
circumstance
and then these lines here on outside RR
remarks here on the very outside our remarks you can see where he extends
past
about it a half an inch and then these airlines are your crop lines for your
true mark sry wood trim with your who learn exactly like so
you as though sonya before if your ego trip here still trimming against the
whiteliner truman against the black color out the background so
if you mess up your not gonna have lost you know some like little
increment white line messing you up so that's what
%ah your not the documents will look like when you go to printed
and it's very helpful I use it all the time for my prince
and it's something that we should get in the habit of doing because it's just
away
to give you that extra step of professionalism if that's the way you
want to put it
on songs you guys have set this up right now are so once
you had your document set up in all your business cards are ready to go
and ready to print you got your I'll print
we hit can hit command P now you are seats left your printer
and you would set up how you know how many ranges
like a if you have multiple business card you set up your range but
we're going to hear suits like all and you
if you only plan pages you wanna make sure print blank pages
checked which iraqi encounter light which can be helpful upward keep down
checked
and then you gonna go cures setup wanna make sure the paper size
is set to I'll that put it on letter sheets
where is US letter as you see here this is where
business card printing but if you look here it's gonna be printing in the
left-hand corner of her paper we don't want taxes that may be able
to let us art room property so you just couldn't YouTube page position
and make sure centered now you see here now Center
inside a barred letter she sheet of paper
now once that's done you wanna go pee remark simply it's now this is what I
watched
showing you guys earlier on pedia where has all the bleeds on it
mom if we click on all printers mark that's going to give us all
upper the crop marks a bleed registration marks color bars and Paige
information
which is exactly what I'll show you guys earlier on the PDF
right here so yeah generally don't have to have all that in there
arm so like got you don't need color bars
com page information you can keep on their outlets you don't need
registration marks a generally
I you can just how crop marks flea market page information which is
essentially just gonna be the document name
the time that de you printed you can also set how thick you want the lines to
be
so you can set it to quarter financial use it to use your

you know whatever I have finished an eccentric but I usually keep it as your
point

and that's pretty much
it before that partial portion ovett on and you also wanna make sure that use da
complete settings
is checked because sometimes yet the printer can automatically set them
and you don't want that because that's going to mess-up doc meet the general
you don't have to worry about that
om so yeah and
and let's see if anything else is to be checked are
printers good printer are sometimes like I said if you're pretty if you are
facing pages on
wanna make sure that stern also in that case if you do you have
are facing pages on you want to turn them off you just couldn't hear the
layout
and then fari features and you make sure that too and finding
or printing is turned all not gonna our
stop it from printing double-sided and
now you have to do is hit hit print and you would get
essentially this on a letter she cheated Peter I am so yeah
now most and show you guys before I and thus to only be shown you guys want to
see you
about this document like I did hear into the PDF
with all the printers marks which can be helpful if you wanna send
it to print shop or whatever so once you're ready
like I said to print or your finalized in all that you got your file
any good out here too export and what you have that you just got here
format and make sure that it's on Adobe PDF print
not interactive if you do you interact if you're not gonna get the same
settings as you would hear
and we're just gonna call is obon Amrani
see and then you get this export Adobe PDF document file are
%ah dialog box
offer this you want to keep it of first and do you wanna sell it to PDF
axe or two you know whatever that is you want to make sure it's up to that
if you have that nine sometimes it screws up in everything our
compatibility matrix
set on the latest Weinzapfel print to PDF I

and
and it added that's not good you can disagree or that and then the real
important stuff is on mark simply needs
and since we already had it checked off on our printing settings it's already
checking of
in here as well so like I said it's just like in the printer you check in on
checking of
and the ego CDC export and as you can see here
it opens up our PDF with our print marks
bomb so yeah if you guys enjoy the video
