Photoshop vs Illustrator
Illustrator vs Photoshop
When designing in photoshop the templates must be opened using the following instructions below:
- Crop to “Media Box”
- Resolution to 125 Pixels/Inch
- Mode to CMYK Color
- From there, on a new layer insert your graphics in such a way that they cover the entire template area, with the most important items within the Safe Zone (green lines).
- Remove the layer with the template when you are done and save the file as a .pdf
Note: When designing in Illustrator, the templates will open with the correct settings (no additional steps needed). The template layer will still need to be deleted before saving.
