Create 2 CMYK postcard fronts
Worldwide
I need 2 postcard 'fronts' created. I already have the designs, they are attached. They need to be in CMYK, and the postcards specs are below. I have also attached the back so you have it for reference. GUARDARRA — POSTCARD FRONTS (2 DESIGNS) — PRINT SPEC + CREATIVE BRIEF PRINTER GotPrint.com. Files must meet their requirements exactly (listed below). When in doubt, design directly on GotPrint's downloadable 5×7 postcard template, which has the bleed/trim/safe lines built in. DELIVERABLE Two separate press-ready front PDFs (Design A and Design B), to pair with an already-finished back. I can send the back PDF for exact color-matching. SIZE, ORIENTATION, BLEED Final trim size: 7" wide × 5" tall (landscape). Build with bleed at 7.1" × 5.1" (GotPrint's postcard bleed is 0.1" per dimension = 0.05" added to every edge). The background photo must extend fully to the 7.1×5.1 edge. Safe zone: keep ALL text, logos, the price, and the Texas outline at least 0.25" inside the trim. No borders or frames near the edge (gang-run cutting shifts). Square corners (not rounded — rounded changes the required bleed). RESOLUTION — CRITICAL 300–350 dpi at final size. The full-bleed art must be at least 2130 × 1530 px. The current concept images are only 1484×1060 (~212 dpi). DO NOT upscale those — the longhorn photography must be sourced or regenerated at full resolution. Set all type and the logo as live vector (not flattened into the photo) so edges stay razor-sharp, then outline fonts on final export. COLOR — READ THIS, IT'S WHY OUR LAST ORDER FAILED FINAL FILES MUST BE CMYK, NOT RGB. An RGB upload is what caused a color shift on our previous order — GotPrint auto-converts RGB on their end with no control. No Pantone/spot colors (GotPrint prints 4-color process only and will not convert spot colors). Brand colors — use these EXACT builds so the fronts match the back: • Navy: C100 M60 Y10 K40 • Texas Red: C8 M100 Y90 K0 • White: knockout (0/0/0/0) Blue-to-purple rule (GotPrint's, and the other reason our last order shifted): when Cyan is above 70%, Magenta must be at least 30 points lower or the blue prints purple. The navy above keeps a 40-point gap — do not raise the Magenta or lower the Cyan on any blue. Use rich black (≈ C40 M30 Y30 K100) for large dark fills; 100% K only for fine text. STOCK / COATING (for color expectation) 16pt premium matte, with gloss UV on the FRONT only. The front will saturate and darken slightly under the gloss — don't start the navy too dark. FILE FORMAT / EXPORT Press-ready PDF, CMYK, fonts outlined, flattened. No crop marks inside the artwork; no template guide lines left in the file. One file per design. Max 75 MB each. FONTS Supporting text in Poppins (matches the back). Big headlines use a distressed/grunge condensed display face to match the concept. LOGO (vector files provided) Use guardarra_shield_white.svg (white keyhole-shield) on these dark fronts. A navy version and PDF versions are also included. The "GuardArra" wordmark beside the shield is simply Poppins SemiBold in white — set it to taste, don't trace it. DESIGN A — "No Bull." Full-bleed Texas longhorn at golden hour, deep navy sky. On the right: "No Bull." in large white distressed type with a red underline stroke beneath it; then "$349/month. Flat." in white; a small star divider; the GuardArra keyhole-shield logo + wordmark in white; "BUILT IN TEXAS BY TEXANS" in red caps; and a white Texas state outline with "TEXAS PROUD." DESIGN B — "Proudly Built in Texas." Texas flag waving behind the longhorn, golden hour. On the right: "PROUDLY BUILT IN TEXAS." in white distressed caps; "FOR THE COMPANIES PROTECTING TEXAS." in white; "$349/month. Flat." inside a red-outlined navy box; the GuardArra logo + wordmark in white; "BUILT IN TEXAS BY TEXANS"; and the white Texas state outline with "TEXAS PROUD." Both fronts: landscape 7×5 to match the back's orientation. The photo bleeds to the edge; all text stays inside the safe zone.
