My role in the creation of this tri-fold was taking it from a digital idea to a print reality. I received the file shown below from the designer, and worked to take it over the finish line into a physical product.
In order to prepare this file for print, I made a few alterations. First, the file was made using an RGB color space, which means some of the color were out gamut and wouldn't be accurately printed. After converting to CMYK, I added do not print layers to the areas that would be printed with a holographic foil. Next, I added bleeds to extend areas with color fills off of the page properly. During this process, we had copy updates, so also went in and updated some text and legal lines on the deliverable. I also went through the file and adjusted some alignment, and caught a hard return where there should have been a soft return that affected the spacing consistency. Finally, I outlined the text, then packaged and exported the file for handoff to printers.
Below is my print ready PDF and some pictures of the completed product!
