Card Front

THE ARTWORK LAYER GROUP CONTAINS 3 DIFFERENT STYLES FOR DISPLAYING CARD ARTWORK. THE FIRST STYLE DISPLAYS ARTWORK WITH AN UPPER AND LOWER CONCAVE CURVE, THAT INCLUDES A TRANSPARENCY GRADIENT. WHEN USING THIS STYLE, ARTWORK JUST SLIGHTLY FLOWS INTO THE TRANSPARENT “GLASS” LAYERS OF THE UPPER AREA AND LOWER AREAS. THE SECOND STYLE IS DESIGNED TO ENCASE ARTWORK IN A RECTANGLE WHOSE TOP AND BOTTOM FADE OUT IN A GRADIENT TRANSPARENCY. THE FIRST STYLE MAKES USE OF THE SPECIAL EFFECTS GIVEN TO THE UPPER AND LOWER AREAS’ “GLASS” LAYERS. ONLY THE SECOND STYLE CREATES A BORDER AROUND THE ARTWORK USING THE CARD TEMPLATE’S BACKGROUND. THE THIRD STYLE FOR DISPLAYING ARTWORK IS A FULL DISPLAY, USING NO MASKS. THIS STYLE FILLS THE CARD AND COMPLETELY COVERS THE BACKGROUND OVER WITH ANY ART INSERTED. ALL OF THESE STYLES RELY ON PHOTOSHOP’S SMART OBJECT LAYER FEATURE. WHEN ARTWORK IS INSERTED INTO THE SMART OBJECT, ALL OF THE ARTWORK STYLES ARE AUTOMATICALLY UPDATED WITH THE ARTWORK. THERE IS ALSO A FOURTH STYLE OF DISPLAYING ARTWORK THAT DOES NOT RELY ON PLACING YOUR ARTWORK INTO THE DESIGNATED SMART OBJECT. THIS STYLE’S LAYER GROUP IS TITLED “PNG’S” AND WAS DESIGNED WITH INDIVIDUALS USING ARTWORK CONTAINING TRANSPARENCY INFORMATION IN MIND. PLACE ANY .GIF OR .PNG INTO THIS LAYER GROUP AND THE TRANSPARENCY WILL TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE CARD’S BACKGROUND DESIGN.

Card Rear

STYLE 03’S REAR CARD TEMPLATES ALL HAVE 4+ GRAPHICAL LAYOUT ELEMENTS (NOT INCLUDING TEXT AND/OR LOGOS) THAT CAN BE EASILY COLOR-EDITED. THERE ARE 3 MAJOR LAYER GROUPS CONTAINING THE REAR CARD’S ELEMENTS: BORDERS, ARTWORK AND BACKGROUND. THE BORDERS LAYER GROUP CONTAINS 4 MAIN GRAPHIC ELEMENTS THAT CAN BE MADE VISIBLE OR HIDDEN TO CHANGE THE CARD’S LAYOUT.

Icons

INCLUDED IN THE STYLE 03 TEMPLATE ARE A PLETHORA OF ICONS THAT CAN BE USED IN THE CARD’S DESIGN. A FOLDER NAMED “ICONS” CONTAINS 30 .PNG VERSIONS OF THE ICON AS WELL AS A .PSD FILE CONTAINING ALL 60 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 60 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

PAST AGE (SERIES I) STYLE 03 COMES WITH A TOTAL OF 5 PHOTOSHOP LAYER STYLES THAT CAN BE APPLIED TO TEXT AND ICONS IN THE CARD TEMPLATE. THE LAYER STYLES ARE INCLUDED IN A SEPARATE PHOTOSHOP .ASL (STYLES) FILE FOUND WITHIN THE MAIN FOLDER. 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.

Actions

THE STYLE 03 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

A FAIRLY DETAILED INSTRUCTION MANUAL IS ALSO PART OF THE STYLE 01 DOWNLOAD. THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL COMES IN THE FORM OF A 26 PAGE ADOBE ACROBAT (.PDF) FILE. IT’S TABLE OF CONTENTS INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING SECTIONS: LAYER HIERARCHY, PLACING ARTWORK, CHANGING ICONS, TEXT/ICON STYLES, EDITING COLORS, CARD LAYOUTS, BACKGROUND, ACTIONS, CARD REAR, AND FONT RECOMMENDATIONS. IN EACH SECTION, THE TOPIC IS COVERED BY DESCRIPTIVE TEXT THAT INCLUDES NUMBERS THAT CORRESPOND TO VARIOUS IMAGES OF LAYERS, POP-UP WINDOWS, EDITING TOOLS AND OTHER FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS FOUND IN PHOTOSHOP. THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL CONTAINS VARIOUS ILLUSTRATIONS ON THE SECTION TITLE PAGES, ALONG WITH SEVERAL CARD DESIGNS THROUGHOUT THE DOCUMENT, SHOWING VARIOUS LAYOUTS THAT CAN BE MADE USING THE TEMPLATE. IN THE FONT RECOMMENDATIONS SECTION, LIVE LINKS ARE PROVIDED TO DOWNLOAD FONTS UNKNOWN DEPTHS RECOMMENDS USING WITH THE TEMPLATE.
