[ 087 ]Layout dialog. We require a 3mm margin (this is our bleed area
mentioned earlier), and we’ll set 4 Columns and 4 Rows, with
a 2mm Gutter, just to give us some easy guides. The guides will
show on both artboards, but when you click OK, the guides
will vanish from one of them. It’s okay, though; they’ll show
again when you select the other artboard.Step Four: Let’s start on the front of our business card. This
is going to be our “Where we met” part. The first one I ever
made had a postcard style on the front and my details on the
back. So, for this, we’ll keep it simple and work from that idea.
For this tutorial, I’m going to use a couple of images from
Adobe Stock, but you can source your own images from your
portfolio or any other online graphic resource. I want to use
a faded background image (in this instance, a photo of the
Orange County Convention Center) and also a small vector to
use for a fake stamp.
I’ve downloaded my two image files and saved them into
my CC Libraries panel in a library that I created for this called
“PSW Postcard 2017.” (Check out the awesome tutorial
from Jesús Ramirez in the July/August issue showing how
to use CC Libraries.)Step Five: The first thing we want to do is place our back-
ground image. You can use File>Place Embedded to place
it from a folder on your hard drive, or if it’s in your Libraries
panel (Window>Libraries), just click-and-drag it from the panel
onto Artboard 1. (In my example, I’m using the Orange County
image.) Hold the Shift key and drag a corner point to size the
image to fill the entire artboard, and press Enter to place it.Step ThreeStep FourStep Five©Adobe Stock/Jesse Kunerth and Aquir
