DOCUMENT SET UP:

1. Create a new document , size depends on if you are adding bleeds

300 dpi, CMYK

2. Using PS guides, set up where your margins and gutters are.

3. You are going to have to determine if you would use 1 document with

folders for the front and back OR Have 2 documents.

In industry - if the printer wants .tiff or .pdf then you are fine to have

1 document. However, if you are working with a client that wants the

.psd file, it is easier for them to have 2 documents. Get to know who

these documents are being created for.
