How To Prepare a Business Card Design for Print

In today's tutorial I share my process of designing a business card and highlight some important considerations when designing for print. It's super important that you get things like bleed, color mode and resolution right when you're creating your artwork, otherwise you might end up having your files rejected by the printer, having to start again from scratch or even worse, receiving hundreds of prints back that look nothing like your design!

Business cards are a common printed product that are fairly simple to design, but before you start, make sure you receive specific artwork instructions from the print house you're going to use. Every company has their own preferences, so the settings I'm using in this tutorial might not match up exactly to what your printer wants, but at least you'll know what they're referring to when they say stuff like trim size and bleed size.
