Nice! Thanks for the tutorial. How did you do the mock-up to display it after it was finished?

[@MylesHiArt]

you're welcome - i actually made the mockup in photoshop; not quite sure how to do this in canva.

Hi thank you for the amazing video! If we wanted to add multiple pages and have a gatefold cover how would we do it?

[@MylesHiArt]

Hello, great question. I have never done a multi page gate fold. But i believe i know of a way to design one, i will try and make video soon. Thank you for watching

@@MylesHiArt thank you so much Myles! I recently saw a booklet obituary with a gatefold cover so it piqued my interest. Thanks again💕

Are you printing from home or using a print on demand? I created my obit but the bleed was way off. Could you do a video on printing the product out and the paper you recommend to print on

[@MylesHiArt]

I print at print shops either a local small business or a fedex office or a place like that. That way i can feel different paper styles in person before printing. Sometimes i will use 100lb gloss or something close to that (feels like magazine paper) or if the budget is bigger you can use a glossy cardstock. Fancier/thicker paper costs more money per print, and a cardstock would need to be scored to get a good fold, which also adds on to the price. If you save your document as a pdf in canva you can add a bleed to it. A pdf file will also allow you to print double sided prints. I should have said this in the video, so Sorry for not covering that. There’s an explanation on pdf saving in canva here: How to Save File as PDF in Canva kzbin.info/www/bejne/nWWWdqqkpNNqmpI

@MylesHiArt thank so much for taking time out to reply. For me the printing part is the most difficult. You are appreciated
