editing my business card to modifiy the text. I used a company to create the business card I'm using illustrator cs6. I've clicked the selection tool, then the text, and the teext has anchor points around them, but I can't edit any text. What's the best approach to edit this card.
When I went to make my business cards, I had the settings at 2in x 3.5in 300dpi in GIMP.
When I go to print them as business cards using GimpLabels, you can only see the very top portion of my image. After switching the ruler settings to pxl (in the corner) I noticed my image is actually 2500 pixels by 3500 pixels. Obviously a business card is not that big. So... Is there anyway to easily scale this to the correct size?
I actually have about 10 different versions of this card I have to print.... So it would really suck if I'd have to go in an manually scale every one of them. It would be nice if GimpLabels would scale it itself you know?
I'm updating my companies business cards which have a white background. Is there a way to get a thin black line at the artboards edges that I could use when the design is put on a word document for presentation?
It's just to see the outer edge in presentation, not in printed version.I guess i could draw a rectangle and have a black border, but is there another way to get the exact edges?
I need setting up the size of a new document. It will not allow me to choose a (Custom) size only the presets and there is not one there for a business card.
So I am desinging a business card for a company I work for. The company we are sending them off too obviously needs to have the bleed and trims marks. The only thing I can't figure out is how do I make the bleed marks visible to them? When I print the document it shows me the trim marks but since I have a white background, it looks as if there is no border. Should I add a border to the actual Artboard?
I am working on double sided business cards. I am using illustrator cs4. But the crop marks on one side dont align with the other. I am also using a office jet pro 8600 with duplex printing. I called HP but they said it has nothing to with the printer. They said it is the software that I am using.
I am probably not posting in a right forum. Not sure where it should go.
What should a business card definitely include? What kind of info? Name of company?
Do I need to put my name also? Or just the name of the company is enough? Do I need to put my address? Or is my phone number and email address enough? What about website address is it necessary?
how can i make a business card in 3D like the one below with Photoshop?
I can make the round rectangle, and put some bevel and shadow, but the problem is that this card has the right-side of it aparently more higher than the left side... how can i do that?
I just purchased the Adobe Design Suite 5.5 Creative Premium.
I have an old two sided business card stored to JPEG. Its two sided, so I have a jpeg of the front of the card and a separate jpeg of the back of the card. The card is full of graphics so I was hoping to not have to edit the card at all - and just print it in photoshop or illustrator.
I'm doing a business card for my friend in photoshop (can't use japanese in illustrator), and he uses this specific company color. I switched the image to greyscale and used tritones for the pantone spot colors. However, it seems these pantone colors don't cover every color in the spectrum. Can I just choose the color I want using the hex code? also, I added bleeds to my card. When I am done, what file should I send to the printer? .tif? or the photoshop file? and also, how will they know where the bleeds start and where it ends? should I draw lines on the picture to show them? Last thing, why is it when you save a file in cmyk, the color gets so distorted?
My experience with CS3 is with photos and not creating images starting with a blank canvas...so I am having a hard time trying to figure out how to copy/paste the image I made (using brushes and text only)from a blank canvas on to a template for a business card...
I'm working on a business card but every time I try to upload it to vista print the design is blurry. I can't figure out why. It looks fine on my computer. I'm also using their custom design template so the dimensions and stuff are fine. I would try the psd but the psd file is too big. Anyway to shrink it? I've tried JPEG, png, and eps so far.
Question: How do I join triangles and squares so that they are symmetrical?
I have a customer for whom I am designing a business card. I am having to reset the business card from a scanned image.
The business card has got angles and triangles on it. Some of the angles have fills. Others do not.
I can use the Shape tool and trace the scanned image of my customer's business card. However, some of the angles are mirrored on either end of the business card. If I trace the scanned image it would be hard to get the angles right.
Basically, how, to work with triangles? I need to join triangles together at angles and so forth so that the business card looks symmetrical.
I am trying to resize a logo to place on a business card. When I insert the logo and hit ctrl+shift to resize with the cornerbox I shrink it and the box becomes smaller but the image stays the same size. So pretty much it is merely just zooming into the logo and cutting off the picture. It is a jpeg. file. Beginner at InDesign here.
I have a document i am designing that has a front and a back to it, its not a business card.
How do i align/position the two sides so i get specific elements where i want them on the back side,
the problem is not with the front and i only need to position the back and specifically, i have checked out the print preview imposition tool and only seems to just print duplicate copies however many times need, unless i used it incorrectly,
I mean i could manually try to set them up and waste a lot of ink and paper positioning the two sides but i believe there is a faster/smarter method to accomplish this.
How to print a sheet of pictures 2x3.5 (business card size). I have reduced the size of the picture but I can't figure out how to fill a sheet with this image and print it.
I am a casual user of Gimp and am trying to design a card that uses slashed zero fonts, both those that are included in Windows 7 and others that I have added. When I use any of the slashed zero fonts with a zero that has been typed in Gimp, the top of the slashed zero is clipped. This happens with every one I tried, yet the same fonts display perfectly in other programs such as Word and Open Office. Is there a setting that is causing this or any way to correct it? If I can';t get this to work in Gimp I will have to move to another program as the slashed zero is a requirement for the project.
I've created a logo, and I'd like to use it in some PDF documents. I've tried several different methods for converting it into an image, but the image quality really degrades when I do. Maybe I'm expecting too much - since the vector image is essentially perfect - but it seems like there should be a way to come up with a decent looking image. Is there a "best practice" for this process?
I have a designer that created this beautiful (but complicated) design in illustrator and now we're trying to get it exported to html. The thing is, most of the images that are in tds we want to be background images so that we can put stuff on top of it. So we need the exported html to generate the image size correctly. For example, I don't want
The problem is that illustrator for whatever reason is generating the images slightly too small (I guess to make the image size smaller?), then is stretching them using width and height attributes. As I'm sure you guys are aware of, the background attribute has no way of specifying a width and height.
Ever wondered how to perfectly fill an outline with touching circles? I did -- after seeing the example image in Solving design effect - image made of perfectly arranged circles.
It took me a while to get the proper calculations, but -- Here It Is! A Javascript, written for Illustrator CS4 (it might work on other versions as well), that fills a selected outline with circles. Download zipped script from my site: [URL] ...., unpack if necessary, and put it in your Illustrator Scripts folder to make it available the next time you run Illy, or anywhere else (you have to browse for it each time).
Select any path -- but no live text; you have to convert it to outlines and select each character in turn. Then run the script.
It displays a simple dialog, where you can set a maximum and minimum circle size as a percentage of the selected object size. In addition, you can select either a plain basic color, or select any of your current Swatch Groups; in that case, each of the circles are filled with a random color from that group.
The script may take a while to run. Usually, only a couple of seconds for a simple rectangle, but it may run into minutes for objects with lots of curves and/or holes. I didn't have the guts to run it on a vectorized world map, to recreate Mario "Quasimondo" Klingemann's Foam World Map; but, in theory? Possible.
