Illustrator has fantastic tools available for creating small print designs such as business cards.

Create a Print Ready Business Card Design in Illustrator

Follow this walkthrough on how to create a fun business card design complete with illustrated character. We’ll start by creating our sketchy figure from a profile shot with hand-drawn linework, then lay out the design with background pattern and textual information in a print ready template with margins and bleed areas. The design we’ll be building is of traditional business card proportions, making use of both sides of the card. Just two colours are used in the design – Cyan and black – Cyan being the blue used throughout the design, and black being used at a very low percentage as the grey grid background.

The use of single inks for each colour (C for Cyan and K for black from the CMYK model) will ensure a crisp end print. Let’s start with the sketchy linework of the illustrated character. Double click the Pencil tool to alter the settings.

Vintage effect

A cool scene, bright colors and a double rainbow. After seeing this picture on my Flickr page, I received an e-mail from Marco who asked me about the post process of this image. Now here is my answer… Choose your image carefully First of all I need to mention that some pictures are better suitable than others. Add contrast and saturation Place the image in a separate layer. Adjust curves Add another adjustement layer. Select Green from the Channel dropdown menu and adjust the curve as shown in the image above. Now select Blue from the Channel dropdown menu and adjust the curve as shown in the image above. Add Vignette effect Select the layer with your photo and go to the Filter menu and select "Convert for Smart Filters". Now go to the Filter menu and select Distort > Lens Correction. Add some Colorisation Your photo should look pretty dramatic right now with a lot of contrast.

How to Animate a GIF

I'm sure all of you already noticed the ads at the right side of this page. For some of you, they are annoying, others even click on them, which is why they are there. I personally think there's nothing to be said against them, so I thought why not creating a nice 125 pixel by 125 pixel ad to demonstrate how easy it is to create nice animations inside of Photoshop. All we need to do is open up Photoshop, create our final image and animate it the way we want it to move the single elements to achieve the final effect. Additionally, we'll stop by at the beautiful GraphicRiver website, where we'll download their logo, which we'll use to create our GIF.
