1. Welcome!: Hey guys, my name
is Spencer and I'm a designer from
Indianapolis, Indiana. In this class, we're going to
take a look at how to make a business card in
Adobe InDesign, we're going to
make exactly this. It's a minimal business card. It's very simple, has
a front and a back. We're going to take
a look at how to use paragraph styles,
character styles. We're going to look at
columns and margins. I'm going to show you what
bleed is and how to set up your document and make sure you export it properly
for your printer. Whether you're using an in-person physical
printer locally, or you're using online printing, we're gonna make sure
that that document is set up correctly. And at the end of this, you're gonna be able to create multiple business
cards and export all of those in case you're not just creating a business
card for yourself, but perhaps for
your company with lots of different iterations. I hope you enjoyed this class. And the project for this one is definitely gonna be to make your own business card
and I recommend you just follow along from
the very beginning. So let's open up InDesign
and get started.
2. Document Setup: Let's start a new file
here in InDesign. So we're going to go up to
File New and then document. Or you might see that a new
document window already. Now I have previewed
check mark right here, so we can already preview what our business
cards can look like, Command or Control minus. And then plus will help
me zoom out of that look. And then I can move this
box over if I need to. I cannot scroll around this
document to move it over, which would be nice,
but that's okay. Now, in my presets, I personally am going
to start with inches. You can set it up to
whatever your printer needs. So if you're working
in centimeters, millimeters or the
pKa or whatever, you can use any of these, I'm going to set up an inches, three-and-a-half by two,
kind of a standard size. But once again, if you're
printing these online, just go look at what the sizing requirements
are that they need, what the bleed requirements are that they need.
We'll get into all that. Okay. So I'm going to select Facing Pages and we're
going to have two pages. We're going to start
on page one, columns. I'm going to do
five, but the column gutter of an eighth
inch, that's 0.125. And then on the margin, so scroll down
pretty quick there. On the margins here, we're going to have 0.25
" all the way around. Then if we scroll down
a little bit further, I've got 0.125 set as the bleed. That's an eighth inch bleed, which is pretty standard. That's it. We can hit Create. So now we have this
layout out here. Now, I don't see my pages of my business card next
to each other, do I? Let's fix that really quick. First up here, one
thing we need to do is right-click on my pages. If you don't see
the pages window, you can go up to window, down to pages and make sure
that's checked, Marked. Generally speaking,
you'll probably see the properties
pane over here and pages should be
tucked in next to it. So once again, we'll
right-click on one of our pages and we're
going to uncheck, Allow Document Pages to shuffle. Once we have that unchecked, we can actually grab
one of our pages here, like page two, and drag it up and hook it on to the
other page up here. Now we have two pages connected. It kind of looks like a spread. It is a spreads like
a two-page spread, except for the first page in your document always stands
alone like a cover page. So this allows us to see the front and back of our business
card at the same time. We have one issue here though. This bleed is now shared
between these two. And that's really not going
to work out very well for us creating this business
card graphics. So we need to use the page tool. That's gonna be the
second little tool here in your toolbar. Shift P is the
shortcut key for that. Now once we have that, we can actually click and drag our pages away
from each other. Now if we have issue with that, which I'm having
issue right now, There's probably a
very good reason we might need to turn
facing pages off. So let's go up to File, down to Document Setup. And we're going
to uncheck Facing Pages and then hit Okay. Now once we have that
unchecked, there we go. We can actually drag these
pages apart from each other. Check that out. So I'm going to zoom
out a little bit. Press Command or
Control plus and minus to zoom in and out or pressing Z and you can click and
scroll to zoom in and out. I'm going to press V to go
back to my selection tool. Okay, cool. We have two pages set up here or two sides of
our business card
3. Designing the Back: Let's look at the
left-hand side first, I'm going to create
a very simple back of the business card. We're going to flood
it with a color. To do that, I'm going to create a rectangle with the color. I'm going to swap the
fill and the stroke here. I want just a fill
and no stroke. If you have colors in both here, what you can do is
click on the Stroke and click this
little apply none. It'll switch it to this slash. Then we're going to
click back on this fill. I'm going to double-click on it. And we're going to
select a color. This color picker is a
little bit different, is kinda like the
darkness and lightness. And then you can go all
the way up here for white. Little different than some
of the other programs. Not really sure why, but I'm going to select
some kind of blue, maybe write it in here. You can see the hex code down here if you really
want to follow along that directly or just select whatever color you
want and press Okay. Now with the rectangle tool selected the shortcut
key for that is m. What we can do is find the corner edge of
our bleed out here. Click and drag from one corner to the
other, just like that. And it's going to
create a rectangle, basically slapping
a little background on our business card. Now, if you missed the
bleed edges there, you can press V, which
is the shortcut key for the selection tool
here and designed. And you can always click and drag and scale this
rectangle out. One little note that I
like to do is go ahead and drag your any element
that's going to the bleed, go ahead and drag it
outside of the bleed. When you export this is going
to cut off at the bleed. But in case I just
barely missed that, I don't want there to be like a white line that bleeds
should be cut off anyway, wants the printer actually
prints the document, but I don't know. I just like doing
this as a designer. I like to make sure that
my color actually goes past the bleed so that
when I export this, I have a full width
bleed of this color. This background color goes
all the way to the edge. Now, if you're not seeing the bleed lines here
or any of these lines. In fact, the W key on your keyboard
switches premium modes. So right here we've got
these two premium modes. You've got normal and
you've got Preview. Preview essentially
views your document or whatever you're
working on without all of the guides are margins
or bleed on there. So any text boxes, you don't see the
outlines of anything. That's really nice to kind of
see what it's looking like. But then if you need
all those guides again, pressing W and it's gonna
get you back to this. We have this rectangle out
here and it's colored in. Let's go ahead and create
a very simple logo. Now one thing you can do once
you have a background set, you can just lock it into place, make sure it's selected and
press Command L or Control L. You can also right-click
when you have it selected and you'll probably
find lock in there too. Alright, so now that we
have this locked and I'm going to create
another rectangle. This one is going to be white. So I'm going to double-click
on this fill kinda drag all the way up to this corner and maybe all the way up here. The other way that you can grab. I just I'm used to double-clicking on
these, but in InDesign, the other way you can grab color is with that
rectangle tool open. You can actually go up
to the Window drop-down, grab your color panel, and if you want, you
can dock it over here. If it's not already. And inside of here, you could grab colors. There's CMYK. The other really useful, like any color you
put in your document, if you go into Window down to, it's probably going
to be in color again. So let's go back to color. Swatches right there. So swatches, anything
you create out here, it's automatically
going to put a swatch, every colors in your
documents stored as a swatch, unless it's within an image. But anything like
vector-based is gonna be a swatch and it's already automatically created
this blue swatch, which will be nice to use later. So if I have elements, I want it to be this color blue. I can just select this swatch when I have that
element selected, we're going to create
another rectangle out here. I'm gonna go from this edge of this little margin or
this column right here, all the way across to here. I'm going to hold Shift
at the same time because I want it to be a
perfect square. So once we have that locked in and we can always
resize it later, we can go ahead and
center this square up. I'm going to grab
my selection tool, make sure my square is selected. Go to the Align
panel over here in my Properties panel and
find align to selection. Nope, not that one. I'm going to align to you
there are two margins paid page or not
spread in this case. So let's just align
to the margins. And then we're going to center horizontally and vertically. And now this squares directly in the center of this
side of the cart. The other thing I'm gonna
do here is create a letter. So I'm just going to say, hey, my company starts
with the letter S and the logo is literally just
the letter S and a box. We're going to press
T for the Type tool, just going to draw a textbox out here,
clicking and dragging. And then we're going to
click, I'm going to type the letter S. Now that I
have that typed out there, I'm going to select a font really quick in my
Character panel, in this Properties panel. And we're going to
use inter or enter. I don't know the emphasis
on those syllables, but we're going
to use this font. I'm gonna go with and
put black on this one. And we're gonna kinda
scale it up a little bit. Maybe too is 30. Whatever. If you're following along, use whatever size you like, whatever letter, whatever font you like, anything like that. So now this is the
way that I want. I don't personally want to edit the font or anything
any more than this. But I am going to edit the
size and also the alignment. And it's a lot easier
to edit that if this was a shape and
not editable text. Once I have the letter
shape out here that I want, I'm gonna get rid
of this textbox and really outline this S by going up to type and going
down to Create Outlines, that's Shift Command
or Control 0. Once I do that, this text
is actually a shape, so it is not editable anymore,
but that's fine with me. What I can do with it is use those same alignment
options and align it horizontally to the center
and vertically as well. Now this S is in the middle, and I can actually scale it
up and down really easily. I start to scale from the
corner. It's going to skew. I don't see a preview of that, but you can see the bounding
box is really skewing. So I need to hold shift that's going to keep
it proportional. I'm also going to hold
Option or Alt on Windows. So we're holding option and
we're kinda scaling this out from the center holding
Option and Shift. And we're just
going to size this. So we're gonna kinda
eyeball this in here. Maybe something, maybe
something like that is fine. Now I do want to
change the color. So remember that
swatches panel we still have open over here. Click on that blue and
it changes to a blue. Now we can click off. And I don't like
these sharp corners, so we're going to click
on this and just this corner a little bit in the
properties appearance section, I'm going to grab the rounded, that's a little too rounded. So we'll just kinda
click in here, use the up and down arrow keys. You can also type in values that you want for
the corner radius there. But I think that works. Now if I press the W key, we actually see the back of
our card has been completed. We put a little
mark logo on there and it's a very clean back
of your business card. Just a little bit here. I'm going to scale that down because I think it
was a little too big. That's a lot better. Okay, there we go. Now, let's come over here and do the real details
part of the card
4. Designing the Front: So I have all these columns and the margins setup to create
some whitespace in your card. Now to start with,
we're going to create a textbox t is
that shortcut key. And then find this
corner of the margin. It should help kind of
click you into it if you click anywhere near it to
start drawing your textbox, you can also zoom in
and out if you want. And then you can just
click and drag from here. We're going to drag this
out to make sure it's large enough to cover whatever
name you're putting in here. So I'm gonna put in my
name, Spencer Martin. And then we need to change the font because I want
to select my own font. Like I said, we're
going to use Enter, and I'm going to use
probably bold or extra bold, not sure which one. We're going to try
bold for starters, then you can make any
adjustments here, whether or not you
want some kerning or tracking between like spacing between all of your letters. You can select
your size of font. Maybe I'm gonna go with, I think I'll go with 12,
make it nice and big. And also you can
select the color, so you can select one of
your swatches or go to your Color tab and start
selecting from there as well, or even of course, the
swatches over here. Now, one thing to note
when you are trying to affect the color of the
text and not the text box. One thing you need
to do is make sure that if you just had
this text-box selected, you need to apply the color not directly to
the text box like this, but instead need to look at which one you're
formatting for here. So Formatting affects container. Well, I don't want
any fill on that, but formatting
effects that text. I do maybe want to change that. In this case, I don't,
but I'm letting you know that if you're
changing the text color, you want to make sure
you either highlight the text so this is selected, or if you have your text-box
selected or whatnot, just, just make sure
you're applying it to the right spot. Okay, so we've got this done. Now. I'm going to create
a paragraph style, and that will allow us to reuse all the styling that
we've done to this text. To do that, I'm going to find the text style area in
my Properties panel. When I have texts selected, I'm going to hit the plus icon. We're going to add
a paragraph style. This one's gonna
be called header. So I can reuse this
later if I wanted to keep my elements
consistent in my design. In this case, the next one, I'm just going to
press the Return. We're going to type in my
title, a visual designer. Okay. I don't want it to
be this same style. So we're going to
create a new style. I'm going to make sure to
uncheck header for this line. And we're just gonna
do Basic Paragraph and let's start with that. Now, from here, I'm going
to select my font. Again. I'm going to maybe do medium. And then I actually am going
to select all caps on here. And we of course need to
scale this down a little bit. So somewhere in the range, I'm even going to
change the fill. I'm going to select this, make sure I'm applying it to
the texts, not the frame. And I'm going to select
70% on the tent. So this is going to
be like a 70% black. So you can see that we're
creating some difference here now I feel like these
are a little too close. So to adjust the line
spacing or letting, there's actually this
little selection here kind of shows
you that icon. You're adjusting the
spacing and the lines. We're going to do
maybe 8/12 or 12/8. I forget which way we call
that in the design world. So this gives us a
little bit of spacing. We can always go
back and edit this. Obviously, I'm just
recording this for you guys. One other thing I wanna
do with this one is actually give it some spacing
in-between the letters. And I would say 50
here on the tracking. And I think that's starting
to look a little bit nicer. So we have some visual
hierarchy here. Now if we select this and I'm actually
going to bump this down, maybe one more, and maybe
bump this down one more too, so she can make it a
little bit smaller. I want some contrast
in my design. But if we do have this
highlighted and we've locked in exactly what we're
doing over here and our Character panel and
our appearance panel. Then we're going to add
another paragraph style. This one is going to be called sub-header because why not? So we've got header and sub-header here now
that we can reuse. So anytime you have a
piece of text here, we're just going
to type some text, doesn't matter what you
type or how you type it. If I select this text, I can actually just quickly
choose a paragraph style. There's my header, there's
my sub-header. Pretty neat. Those are the, that's like the power of paragraph
styles really saves you some time later
on in your designs. Okay, cool. So this
textbox is plenty big. I can just scale
it up like this. And then we'll create
another one down here. And actually what we could do is just duplicate this text box. So I'm going to
click on it, hold Option or Alt, click and drag. We're going to bring it down. If you hold Shift, it will
kinda keep it lined up. I'm going to drag it to the
bottom corner of the margin. Right there. And I'm going to drag
this or I'm going to expand this
upward a little bit. So we're going to put
our details down here. Now let's double-click this and we're going to press
Command or Control a to select everything
and just delete it. Now, down here is gonna
be like our phone number. It's going to be our website
or email, things like that. I'm gonna do it pretty basic. Come up, press P for
the phone number. I could do low colon and then of course we
can just maybe type in a random phone number. Now this section, I
want to be smaller. So let's go ahead
and style this. Right now it's on sub-header. I think what I'm gonna do is probably change to
Basic Paragraph again. Then just do my
own settings here. If I go back to that inter font and I think down here
we're going to do regular. So we've got irregular
as the font weight. We're going to maybe
make this six point. We might even make it
5.5 here in a second. We're going to make sure
the fill is 100% black. Yep, it is. So that's good. We're going to space
it out a little bit. So we'll do that 50 here
for the tracking again, and accidentally scrolled
on my mouse wheel. So we're going to redo that. And we've got the phone
the down here, right. So we can press Enter. And we're going to do an e-mail. And we're gonna just say it's
info at company.com, right? Whatever your company or
whatever your email is here. Now you might notice something these dependent on the
size of the letter here. In fact, it's going to be even more apparent if we put it in a website here,
www.yourcompany.com. So look at this.
These are starting to the misaligned, right? There's actually some
really cool in Illustrator, in Illustrator and
InDesign that we can do here with tabs. And what do you need to do is make sure you have a
text-box selected like this. And we're going to go up to type down two tabs right here. And it's going to open up
this little tabs panel. It actually lines up with
your textbox, which is nice. You can move it around. But in-between here, we can
adjust these different tabs. So this right here is the
starting point of your textbox. So you can see it
moves everything over. Well, we don't want that. We want to do is add
another tab in here. And that tab, if we click, just adds right in there. And we can actually
see a line on our textbox of where it's going to line up that tab
and we can drag it around. I'm going to have
everything line up with the W1 because I know W is the widest letter
that I'm going to use. So we're going to line
it up right about here. Okay, nothing happened. That's because we
actually have to use the Tab button on our keyboard. Okay, so we come in here and
we have some space here. We get this right before our number starts
and we hit tab. And what it does is it will
tab you over to each of the tabs that you've added
in the tabs panel. Tab. Perfect. And this one's
already lined up, right? So that one's okay. And then we can press Enter. And what's the last one? We maybe an address. So we'll do a random
address and we can press Tab to get us
lined up to that tab. So everyone's lined
up on the tab, which is really, really nice. We're gonna do some street
in New York, new York. Sound good, not New York, Indiana, New York,
new York and 55555. There we go. That's
the zip code. Okay, So one other
thing before we lock in this paragraph
style is the line spacing. And maybe even the
size of our elements. You can keep your elements this size or whatever size you want. I might go 5.5. And then I'm going to adjust the line spacing
here a little bit. I'm not sure what I'll do. I think ten might be
a little too much, so we're gonna do
nine right there. And then one other thing
that we can do here, and I'm actually going to just
get rid of this tabs menu. Don't know what
happened there. It must have clicked
something somewhere. However, one other thing
that we can do here is actually align these elements to the bottom of this text box. To do that, we can
click on our text box, right-click on it and go
to Text Frame Options. The shortcut key for that
is Command or Control B. In here, we actually have vertical justification
along with a lot of other options for your
frames, for your textbox. But right here on this textbox, I'm going to align
it to the bottom. And if previous checkmark
you can actually see what that does and
hit Okay, now, no matter how many
details we add here, it's going to add them from the bottom up, which
is what we would want. We want the final line of this section to be lined
up on this bottom margin. Now, I think that we
could probably go back to six point font and keep
the 9-point line spacing. That's just a designer. Designer adjusting elements. Nothing is ever finished, right? But this we are
going to lock in. So let's go up to our
paragraph settings again. And we're going
to add a new one. And we're going to
call this details There we go. So we have details
paragraph settings. Now, if you drop this down, you can actually
see we have header, sub-header and details in here, and we can reuse these
anywhere in our design. Now one more thing to note, you see that have
character styles here too. You can actually do
character styles within paragraph styles, but also if you had all of
this as a paragraph style, you can make
adjustments to that. As a whole unit, like everything will change. So if you change the kerning here and apply it to
your paragraph style, the current and
changes in every line. But if you want to make
individual changes to elements, he would maybe need to
use a character style. So for instance, if I
wanted this to be black, but this to be that
70% tinted black. What I could do is change
this fill to 70% like that, and then go to Character Style
and add a character style. And I could call that 70
tinted or something like that. So now I can select info at
company and I could say, Oh, the character style
and I'll apply to that is 70 tinted and you can see how it tents that line. You can't do. So Paragraph Style kinda
goes line by line. But character style, you can
apply to specific sections. So if you wanted to do
something like that, you could, without having to
go in and re-select the exact tint percentage
every time you can set that up as
another automatic thing. Now in this case
I'm not going to, but I wanted to show
you that option with character styles. Cool, so we are almost there. What I wanna do is bring this little logo
thing over here, which we can select both of them by clicking and
dragging and selecting. Make sure this guy is
locked or else you will also select him or
move him around. Now, I want to keep
these two together, so I'm going to
group them together. That's Command or Control G, or you can right-click
and select Group. Now this element is grouped. I don't even need to select, it moves around together. I don't have to select
things individually. I can duplicate that
by holding Option or Alt and bring it over here. Now it's gonna look a little
weird because I can't see this white box. So what you could do
is drag it outside of your business card to
make some adjustments to it. The adjustments I wanna
do is flip-flop these. I want the box to be blue
and the S to be white. So I can double-click
into this group, select that box, and
adjust the fill. And actually, I'll
go to those swatches and just grab that blue. And then I'm going
to select the S. I might have to double-click, make sure I get
that S selected and select paper as the white color. Now, I've got this and
I can drag it over here and line it up with my margin in the
bottom-right corner. And then because I have all these columns and stuff set up, I can actually select maybe
this line or this line, depending on how your logo
looks in this corner. And I can scale this down, make sure you also hold
Shift at the same time. And just select which of these
you want to line it up on. If you want a smaller
logo, maybe like this, you could go a little bigger or whatever size you would like. And now we can press
that W key and see a preview of our
business card design
5. Adding a QR Code: Let's take a look at how
we can create a QR code and generate a QR code
here in Adobe InDesign. So what we'll need to do is
go up to the object window. You can think about it like
we're creating an object. Down here about halfway
is Generate QR code. Once we have that open, we can decide between
the content of the QR code and also the color, the color we can change later. So I'll just keep
this on black and the content we have
different types. We have plain text. We could do a web hyperlink. We could do a text
message, an e-mail, or what you might be interested
in is a business card. So we would type in all the information we
would like to include. You don't have to fill
in all of these boxes, but whatever you'd like to include here, you
can type it in. So I'll do just my
name and then a URL. Now, to be safe, you might even do
the full HTTP on URLs just to make sure that it really gets to
the right location. Maybe an add an S there if you have that security
setting on the website. However, name URL hit, Okay, and it's going to
generate this QR code. It's already on the
tool tip of my cursor. Now if I just click, it's
going to place it out here. I can probably also
click and drag and place it in a frame the
size of my choosing. Once I have that, if we scale this
frame up and down, It's just going to
scale the frame, which basically will
cut off the QR code. So to scale this up and down, you're going to want to press E, which is the scale tool. Now, one thing you cannot
do is not hold Shift. See how it skews the QR code, that's going to
ruin it completely. So when you have e
selected that scale tool, you'll also want to hold shift while you're
scaling this up and down. Now unfortunately, you
can't see a preview here. But one little trick you can do, pressing V for the
Selection Tool. We can right-click on
this and go to fitting. And then we can fill the frame proportionately and fit
content proportionally. And there's a lot of
difference options here. What I would do is fit
the frame to the content. That frame is going to fit to the QR code a
little bit better. Now you can always bring
that in so we can press Z and click and drag here
to zoom in on a corner. And what we could do
is bring this frame into the very edge of our QR code if we wanted to align it up just like that. And then if we zoom out some, we can then drag it over to
line it up to the edge here. So same thing with the top. You could bring this down, kinda lock it into the
top of the QR code, pressing the W key,
I'm going to show my own margins with this page. I'm, I bring it up
to this corner, pressing E for that scale tool, grabbing this corner and
holding shift while I scale this down and maybe match it
to the logo that's below it. And run it along this
column line right here. So that's how you can work with that to align it
to other elements, just adjust your frame. The fitting maybe didn't work as well because there is
some padding on the QR code, however, you can always adjust that frame to a custom size. So there we go. We've got
these two elements on here. Personally, I think they
compete with each other. I might even shrink this
guide down a little bit more. That QR code down a little bit. So it's not quite as dominant as the logo in the
corner down here. A lot of different ways
you can work with this. You don't even have
to put the logo here. You could put it over by her name or you
can just not even have it on this side of the card because on the other side, we had this this logo just kinda taken up
the whole other side. Now one thing you can
do with your QR code, if you right-click on it, you can actually go to
Edit QR code right here. So when we edit that QR code, we can change the information and then we can also
change the color. If we wanted to
change, for instance, if I wanted it to
be the blue color that I have in this design, I can select that blue swatch and come over here to content. And maybe I needed to add
an organization here, Pixel and bracket,
and then hit OK. And that's going to
adjust the QR code so that includes
that information. And then of course it turned it into that blue color as well. So that's how you can make adjustments to the
information of a specific QR code and also how you can change
the color of it. So really easy now
to add QR codes to your designs here
in Adobe InDesign
6. Duplicating Multiple Cards: We finished one business card. What if you wanted to make more? Well, we can go back to pages. We can just select both
of these pages by holding Shift and selecting both
hold Option or Alt. And we can duplicate this
business card and down. So now we have a, another spread where we can just
come in here and say, oh, this is, This
is another person. Will go as little then Martin. And this person is the
director of design, right? So we've got these
multiple spreads in here, which is multiple business
cards that we can then export
7. Exporting: How would we export this? Well, we go up to File. We would go down to Export. And actually personally, I would just go to Adobe PDF presets. Select high-quality
print. From here. We're going to select the
folder and we're going to select the name. So if I just wanted to business
cards, I could do that. I'm going to hit Save and
that's going to save as a business cards PDF
into this folder. And we've got this whole
PDF export PDF area. In my opinion, unless
your printer says, Hey, we need compatibility
to be a certain thing. We want the standard to be this, a PDF X1, a 2001. Unless you have
that information, which I would just reach out to your printer and
ask what they want. High-quality prints should
do just fine for you. Now, we do need to select
the range so we can select the All Pages and export
it as pages. That's fine. It will give you
individual pages. So that might not work so well. The other thing you could do is create separate PDF files. But let's look at just one
business card for a second. If we wanted to just the
first business card, that would be pages 1 and
2. You can see it up here. So we could select
one to two pages. Then if we look in
our marks and bleeds, we actually have Printer marks. So if your printer wants
those so you can add them. But we do need to
add document bleed settings so that this background that goes over the edge or to the
edge of our card, it needs to extend with the bleed and then the
printer will cut that off so that your
background doesn't print with like a little
white line or something. Because when they print
these business cards, the printing process
and the cutting process can be off
by a little bit. That's why an eighth
of an inch or so they need that room. So once we have that,
so we've selected which business card
we're exporting. We can hit Export. That's going to go to
where we saved it. So if we've got
it right here and we can double-click on that. And you can see, I've
got two pages in here, the front and the back
of the business card. Now, this is going to
depend on your print. They want to receive
the files or your online printer and
how you upload files, you might upload a back
that doesn't change. And then the front, you might upload a bunch of them to change the information, like to print out a lot of different people's
business cards. Or if you do them one at a time, you can just upload
them like this. Or if your printer can handle it and
they're fine with it. You can go back and export, export each of these and have
them all in one single PDF, two pages of that PDF is
another business card. The other thing that I don't want to lead you
wrong and this right here, I might need to
go look it up and I will create a tutorial. I've saved this, create
separate PDF files. I need to make sure that
if you were to click spreads or even page, I think pages will create, sort each of these
pages spreads. We'll create a separate
file for the spreads, but your printer might not
want them uploaded as spreads. That's where the issue comes in. So I would say that finding
out from the printer or the upload place how you need to export these would be best. And then you can export and decide what's best
for that scenario. But you could do also, you could do all pages. That's how you would do that. So this is kind of
how you would make adjustments to how that
PDF is going to come out. Anyway. If you guys have
any questions about this, hit me up in the
