In the eighth class of the Affinity course we will see how to create a document that is intended for printing and we will export it with bleed and all printing marks.
This time it will be a poster for an invented music festival that we will improvise live during the exercise.
Let’s remember that the bleed is that outer margin that we must add to our document so that the printer can cut our document well without fear of leaving a white border if the guillotine deviates a few millimeters at the time of cutting.
We will see that once our document has been created, we can modify the blood options and the rest of its details if we click the ‘Document configuration’ button, located at the top left of the program, an option that we have not seen until now and that worth knowing. Let us begin!
As you can see, with little we can do a lot. With a spot of background color and playing with typography, we achieved a gimmicky poster, in this case for the invented New York Jazz Festival.
The exercise has helped us to see how Affinity works regarding printing and exporting documents, but also to reinforce important concepts such as converting texts into curves to be able to work on typography as a shape, the space between letters and we will learn a concept new: how to lock a layer.
On this occasion we propose you to create a document to print and export it with bleed and cutting lines. Also, as we have seen in the class, I propose you to modify the printing color, that is, the CMYK color, and apply the technique that we have seen so that we have a dense black when it comes to color spots.
As always, if you have any doubt or question, you can send it through the support form of the subscriber intranet. See you in the next lesson! 🙂
