    You should dedicate a video to printing.

  • @holyshiet787
    @holyshiet787 3 роки тому +24

    I think that we designers should get into printing, or at least understand the fundamentals, because online you will see lots of "awesome and unique" business card ideas (like templates that can be bought), but in reality those cards cannot be printed because either it has too many colors or gradients and unnecessary shapes.
    But since there's a lot of different types of business cards that can be printed and on different materials, having knowledge about those we can help our clients offeri them different card designs thus charging more.

  • @jonathanEricStaffordRealtor

    People read from left to right watch stories that run from left to right across the screen . This if you put you picture on the left of your business card facing right you are psychologically reinforcing that you are a growing/active business vs facing the other way and suggesting backwards motion

    Indesign is the best adobe software for print. I’ve never understood why so many designers try to do so much in photoshop. Maybe it’s just familiarity.

    • @SatoriGraphics
      @SatoriGraphics  3 роки тому +1

      Yes that is the main function for InDeign,for laying out print projects. That being said, it would be nice to have the bleed options in Ps anyway. The way Adobe wants you to work is to create any photo-manipulation or digital painting in Ps, and if your print design needs any of those elements, you make them in ps and then bring them over to InDesign, or maybe Illustrator to set up for print. Illustrator is fine for print projects too, if they are not multiple page projects such as brochures.
