Using what you learned in the first five Design Tutorials including the 3-Part video on design layout, design a company letterhead and business card for your business. Also, glance at the advice for designing business cards.
Logo
Go back to your various logo ideas that you made for your company with a symbol and read over the comments again from your friends. Then choose one and create your logo in RGB on a 5in x 5in AI document. Take a large screenshot of the logo.
Company Letterhead
Design a company letterhead that is A4 size and RGB using the requirements listed below. Add a 1pt black stroke rectangle, no fill, on top of the current outside page border. When finished go to File > Save as > PDF (keep default settings) and take a large screenshot of it.
Business Card
Create a new RGB AI document for your business card that is 2 inches x 3.5 inches. Remember not to have any text or images past the 0.5" margin around the card unless it is suppose to flow off the card. The business cards will be one-sided and won't have any designs on the back.
Take a large screenshot of the one business card.
Card Sheet
Take the business card and place ten of the same cards equally on one RGB A4 document.
- Spacing RequirementsThe spacing of the ten business cards on the A4 sheet is very important; use guides to help you. It must meet the following requirements and create the same square/rectangles (the pair is the same dimension) with their colors as the example:at least 0.5 inch margin all around the page
- the same right and left margin size (blue squares in the example)
- the same top and bottom margin size (green rectangles)
- the same vertical space between business cards (orange rectangles)
- the same horizontal space between business cards (brown rectangles)
