GIMP 2.10 Tutorial: How to Design a Business Card (2018)

In this GIMP Tutorial, I’ll show you how to design a professional business card that is optimized for maximum print quality. I show you not only how to design the front and back of the business card, but also how to set up “soft-proofing” using CMYK color profiles so that you can properly preview your design’s print colors. I also show you how to set up your document before you begin designing so that it has the proper resolution for print.

This tutorial is great for all skill levels – including beginners. You will love the final result!
