Introduction
This is what we'll create in this episode: a two-sided business card size 90x55mm ready to be sent to the printer, complete with bleed, safe margin, and CMYK mode. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe Illustrator series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. We enter the print design and social media module. Print design has its own rules, millimeter size, CMYK mode, bleed to avoid white lines, and margin safe to prevent text from being cut off. Create a new print document. Size 90x55mm, two artboards for front and back sides, bleed 3mm on all sides, and color mode CMYK.
Step 2: Safe Margin
The red line outside the artboard is the bleed line. Drag the 5mm guide inward from the artboard edge as a safe margin. Important text and logos must be inside the guide area.
Step 3: Full Background on Back Side
In the second artboard, the chocolate brown box extends all the way to the bleed line, not just to the edge of the artboard. If the cut is slightly off, no white line will appear.
Step 4: Logo and Brand Name
Place the coffee bean logo and brand name in the center of the back side with cream and orange colors. In the first artboard, type the name with a bold font, smaller job title in orange, then contact information at the bottom.
Step 5: Front Side
Everything remains within the safe marination. Save as PDF
Step 6: Save As PDF for Printing
In the Marks & Blades section, check use document blit setting so that blit is also saved. This file is ready to be sent to the printer.
Done!
Done. We have already created a business card document with two artboards, bleed, CMYK mode, safe margin, background up to bleed, and saved the print PDF.
