In this example of creating a funeral program / obituary design, its a trifolded design as opposed to a single folded 'book style' obituary. I used size 12x18 at 150 resolution. Typically I use 300 resolution for printing purposes, but at least 150 resolution is whats recommended. This is the usually the largest commercial printing paper size in the United States for projects such as these. Once folded, the obituary's finished size is 12x6, or more or less depending on if you used the same paper size as me. I'm not sure what size would be appropriate for other countries, the units are different! Leave questions/comments below. RIP Kobe Bryant!

Is this still available?
U are bomb. Thanks for helping me grow my skills
thanks for watching!
First and foremost awesome work once again....how do you handle pricing for obituaries?
Very nice. After you traced his body what did you press to cut out the background?
Hey, thanks. Here's a video on how I cut things out czcams.com/video/Yn8hrmvV6vk/video.html
What weight paper did u use?
Hi. How did you divide it? Where did you pull the lines from in the beginning?
from the rulers on the sides of the document. Press CMD+R or Ctrl+R to bring them up if you don't see them.
Hi, what printer would you suggest to print borderless programs/obituaries?
sorry for the SUPER late response, but i typically use commercial printers. theres no printer that prints all the way to to the edge as far as i know. After printing them out, the process is usually to trim the edges with a cutter.
What app or source are you using to create the obituary? I am thinking about getting into the business of making obituaries so I want to know what I need.
Thanks for sharing! What paper do you recommend printing something like this on?
No problem. I'd pick a matte or glossy cardstock
Do you do custom orders or is this only for how to video to create your own?
yes i do custom work
@@MylesHiArt I sent you a email. I would like a funeral program done.
What paper do you use for your obituaries
i go to the print place and hand pick depending on the budget. so ive printed on everything from standard paper to glossy and matte card stocks.
Do this have to be on a apple computer
What version of photoshop are you using
sorry for the late response but im using photoshop cc either '19 or 20. But this is able to be made in any version as far as I know.
What printer do you use
commercial printers... via fedex, staples, etc. places like that.
What type of photo paper you print the obituary on?
just try different types out til you get the one you prefer the most, theres no one right answer. Some people want to pay for more expensive paper, some want a gloss, some dont, and others just go budget friendly. it all depends on the amount needed and what's affordable. The paper would have to be at least size 11x17 though, because thats the size of the document.
How are you getting the poems into Photoshop? I went to poem on google and copied but it will not allow me to paste in Photoshop.
u need to grab the text tool and click on the document to start a text line before you can paste any words into photoshop
@@MylesHiArt I got it! Thank you so much. I am learning soooo much from you.
@@MylesHiArt Do you have videos to show how you put together the tri-fold inside and outside? I do not think I have seen a try-fold obituary with more than one page. Or is this actually just printed double sided?
@Kim Alston From what I've seen, trifolds are always just one page [front and back]. U design two files of the same size, and then save them together as a .PDF. Then you take that .PDF file to your printer and tell them you want a duplex print. This video is just of the design process. I made another video where it explains how to save multiple files together as a PDF right here czcams.com/video/Ped-8OzDUjc/video.html
how did you print this?
like how did you print it front to back?
@@morgankendall you have to take both files and make it into a single document .PDF. Here's how you do it: czcams.com/video/Ped-8OzDUjc/video.html
@@MylesHiArt You're so helpful! God bless you, thanks!
How would you print this out
on 11x17 paper. If the printer can't print 'duplex' then print one side out, turn it around, and then print on the other side. Type of paper I'd use would either be a matte card stock (thick paper, no gloss) or 100lb gloss (like magazine pages)
