What if you could know how to prepare your design and artwork for print and have the knowledge and skills to do it with confidence and professionalism?

ENROLL NOW!!

DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?

You have just started your business and money is bloody tight, and you can't afford to hire a professional graphic designer, so you have a crack at designing your artwork yourself. It can't be that hard, you're thinking!!!

Well, it is all going well, until you need to send your artwork to the printers. You then realise you have no idea what you are doing and don't understand any of the lingo like CMYK, trims and bleed and so many more. Your head is spinning in confusion.

You feel lost because no matter how hard you try, you don't know how to make your artwork print suitable.

You start panicking, thinking how will you get through this and will your design job actually be ok to print.

You know you have got to get this right but it's so much work and all so confusing.

Maybe you have learnt the hard way and already sent your artwork to print, for it to be delivered to you at the incorrect size or the colours are wrong and now you‘re already stuck with 1000 flyers or business cards which look bad and you can’t use. Plus there's the waste of money and the cost for reprints.

Or perhaps you’re a graphic designer just starting out and you’re wanting to learn some basics to understand print to be helpful for your own business or offer this service to your clients. I've found that a lot of graphic designers don’t understand the printing process or how to properly set up their artwork files for print.

I totally understand all these feelings. I would get so nervous about sending artwork to the printer, hoping everything will print perfectly when I first started designing. You don't want to cost yourself money for reprints.

So if you feel anxious sending artwork to print, you are definitely not alone.

WHAT IF IT DIDN'T HAVE TO BE THAT WAY?

What if I could show you how to prepare your artwork for printing?

Would this make your life easier as it would save you time trying to work it out yourself and you know it would be done right?

Because print design is my thing!!!

So I want to share my print knowledge with over 25 years experience with you.

YOU MIGHT BE FEELING SOME FEAR

You may be feeling some fear of wondering if this is the right course for you.

I can tell you now, after working in so many design and print businesses and running my own business for over 25 years, learning about printing takes a while and a lot of skills and knowledge.

It takes practice and it will help with your confidence that you know your artwork files are correct every time.

Over the years, I have had print files sent to me in the most... weird, odd and unexplained ways possible!! Most could not even be printed as they didn't think of the next step - printing.

In this course, I run through all the basic steps to help you do it all yourself from creating your artboard correctly, understanding colours, bleed, trims and how to prepare your print pdf. Don't let your printer cringe when they receive your 'print file' lol.

In the end, you will have the confidence to send your artwork to print yourself knowing your printed material will come back exactly how you imagined.

I think that is so rewarding when you get to physically hold your printed marketing material or stationery in your hands that you've spent hours designing. Having a printed product that you created actually in your hands, makes all of your hard work definitely worth it. I still get so excited when seeing my printed design jobs.

Hey there, I'm Kim

I have been a professional graphic designer for over 25 years and having worked in the many design and print companies over those years, I learnt very quickly, that I needed to set up the artwork and prepare the artwork file perfectly for the next stage to happen............. the PRINTING!

When I started out in my first design job at a small print business, I would have the prepress guys tell me that this or that was wrong before it hit the press machines, so it saved my butt from being yelled at and costing the company money for reprints and staff time.

When I was at university, we just learnt the basics about printing and so I definitely learnt a lot when I started working and it helped me have a large understanding and love for printing.

In the early years of my own business (over 16 years ago), I would still get nervous about hitting the send on an email with the artwork to the printer, hoping everything will print perfectly as it was then my responsibility if something was wrong. So if you feel anxious sending artwork to print, you are definitely not alone.

I know the design and print industry inside and out and I want to share my wealth of knowledge to help others so your design projects can be PERFECT!
