FUTURE AGE (SERIES I) STYLE 02 WAS DESIGNED FOR THOSE SEEKING MORE “TRADITIONAL” STYLE CARD LAYOUTS CAPABLE OF RELAYING INFORMATION IN A VARIETY OF FASHIONS. ITS DESIGN SUPPORTS SYMMETRICAL AND ASYMMETRICAL LAYOUTS. AT THE ORIGIN OF STYLE 02’S DESIGN IS A “FUTURE” VISUAL THEME INSPIRED BY THE FOLLOWING CONCEPTS/IDEAS: ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY, TRANSPARENCY, RELATION, GLASS, CRYSTALLINE DATA STORAGE, CIRCUITRY, SCREENS, ENERGY, MAGNETISM, GENERATORS, LIGHT, ENERGY DISPLACEMENT, GLOW, SYMMETRY, ASYMMETRY, AND OTHERS.

STYLE 02 IS THE MOST BALANCED CARD DESIGN OUT OF ALL FUTURE AGE (SERIES I) TEMPLATES IN RESPECT TO LAYOUT VARIATIONS, SPECIAL FEATURES, AND EASE OF EDITING. AMONGST THE NOTABLE SPECIAL ELEMENT FEATURES IN STYLE 02’S DESIGN ARE 3 “GLASS EFFECTS” (GUASSIAN BLUR, MOTION BLUR, AND SCREEN FILTERS/LAYERS) THAT ADD DISPERSION EFFECTS TO ART AND/OR GRAPHICS GLASS ELEMENTS ARE FOUND OVER.

Card Front

STYLE 02’S FRONT CARD TEMPLATES ALL INCLUDE 100+ GRAPHICAL LAYOUT ELEMENTS THAT CAN BE EASILY COLOR-EDITED (EITHER USING THE COLOR-PICKER, OR INCLUDED LAYER STYLES). ALL ELEMENTS OF THE CARD TEMPLATES ARE ORGANIZED INTO NEATLY ARRANGED PHOTOSHOP LAYER GROUPS, ALLOWING CONVENIENT CARD LAYOUT CHANGES BY ADJUSTING THE VISIBILITY SETTINGS OF THE LAYER GROUPS. ALL GRAPHICAL ELEMENTS ARE SORTED INTO 5 MAIN LAYER GROUPS: UPPER AREA, LOWER AREA, SIDE AREA, ARTWORK, AND BACKGROUND.

Card Rear

STYLE 02’S REAR CARD TEMPLATES ALL HAVE 50+ GRAPHICAL LAYOUT ELEMENTS THAT CAN BE EASILY COLOR-EDITED (EITHER USING THE COLOR-PICKER, OR INCLUDED LAYER STYLES). THERE ARE 6 MAJOR LAYER GROUPS CONTAINING THE REAR CARD’S ELEMENTS: ARTWORK, LEVEL 00 (ENERGY GENERATORS), LEVEL 01 (LIGHT SCREEN), LEVEL 02 (LATENT ENERGY), LEVEL 03 (MAGNETIC CRYSTAL), AND BACKGROUND. THE LEVEL 00 (ENERGY GENERATORS) LAYER GROUP CONTAINS 4 GRAPHICAL ELEMENTS DESIGNED TO BORDER THE UPPER AND LOWER CORNERS OF THE CARD’S MAGNETIC CRYSTAL ELEMENTS. LEVEL 01 (LIGHT SCREEN) CONTAINS 2 DIFFERENT STYLES FOR DISPLAYING 3 LIGHT SCREEN ELEMENTS. LEVEL 02 (LATENT ENERGY) CONTAINS 2 DIFFERENT STYLES FOR DISPLAYING 3 LATENT ENERGY ELEMENTS. LEVEL 03 (MAGNETIC CRYSTAL) CONTAINS 4 DIFFERENT STYLES FOR DISPLAYING MULTIPLE MAGNETIC CRYSTAL ELEMENTS.

Icons

INCLUDED IN THE STYLE 02 TEMPLATE ARE A PLETHORA OF ICONS THAT CAN BE USED IN THE CARD’S DESIGN. A FOLDER NAMED “ICONS” CONTAINS 90 .PNG VERSIONS OF THE ICON AS WELL AS A .PSD FILE CONTAINING ALL 90 ICONS IN FULLY EDITABLE PHOTOSHOP SHAPE FORMAT. THE VECTOR BASED NATURE OF PHOTOSHOP SHAPES MAKES THESE ICONS SCALABLE TO ANY SIZE, WITHOUT REDUCTION IN GRAPHICS QUALITY. OPENING THE .PSD ICON FILE REVEALS A LAYER GROUP CONTAINING THE 90 DIFFERENT ICONS ON SEPARATE LAYERS NAMED AFTER THE IDEAS THEY REPRESENT. SOME ARE MORE SUBJECTIVE IN NATURE THAN OTHERS TO PROVIDE CARD MAKERS WITH FLEXIBILITY IN DEFINING MORE ORIGINAL IDEAS. ALL OF THE ICONS ARE ALREADY IMPLEMENTED INTO THE CARD FRONT FILES AS SMART OBJECTS, IN SPECIALLY DESIGNATED “ICON/TEXT” LAYER GROUPS. THIS ELIMINATES ANY NEED TO PLACE ANY ICONS DIRECTLY INTO THE CARD DESIGN UNLESS DRAMATIC CHANGES IN THE CARD’S DESIGN ARE MADE BY THE USER.

Layer Styles

FUTURE AGE (SERIES I) STYLE 02 COMES WITH A TOTAL OF 42 PHOTOSHOP LAYER STYLES, 15 OF WHICH CAN BE APPLIED TO TEXT AND ICONS IN THE CARD FRONT TEMPLATES. THESE 15 CARD FRONT LAYER STYLES ARE INCLUDED IN 3 SEPARATE PHOTOSHOP .ASL (STYLES) FILES FOUND WITHIN THE MAIN FOLDER (5 STYLES PER COLOR SCHEME). THE STYLES CAN EASILY BE APPLIED TO ANY ICONS AND TEXT BY SELECTING THE TEXT OR ICON LAYER AND CLICKING ON THE PREFERRED LAYER STYLE IN THE STYLES PANEL. 12 OUT OF THE 42 PHOTOSHOP LAYER STYLES WERE DESIGNED FOR LOGOS/SYMBOLS AND ARE LOCATED IN THE CARD REAR TEMPLATES (4 STYLES PER COLOR SCHEME).

Actions

THE STYLE 02 TEMPLATE INCLUDES TWO ACTIONS DESIGNED TO SAVE COMPLETED CARDS IN DIFFERENT FORMATS. THE FIRST PHOTOSHOP ACTION CROPS A FINISHED CARD’S BLEED SPACE AND THEN IMMEDIATELY SAVES THE CARD AT ITS DEFAULT RESOLUTION AND COLOR MODE (RGB). THIS MAKES THE ACTION USEFUL FOR SAVING CARDS TO BE USED IN DIGITAL MEDIA. THE SECOND PHOTOSHOP ACTION CONVERTS THE CARD FROM RGB COLOR MODE TO CMYK COLOR MODE (THE STANDARD FOR PRINT), AND SAVES THE CARD WITH THE .25 INCH BLEED SPACE. THIS SECOND ACTION WAS DESIGNED FOR SAVING THE CARD FILES FOR PRINT.

Instruction Manuals
