Page 2: Embossing and Debossing File Setup Guide

The finished book cover should have embossed (or debossed) and printed elements, represented with the emboss effect above. The book title and two thought bubbles will be emobssed. Note that the thought bubble thought bubble to the le is embossed over a solid background — this effect is called “blind embossing.” Also note that the title of the book is both printed white and embossed, while the subtitle is only prinonly printed dark blue.

This file, which is submitted as solid black only, contains only the parts of the cover that will be embossed or debossed. Both thought bubbles are shown, including the “blind” one, but the text and stars inside of them are not provided separately since everything in the right thought bubble is embossed the same wasame way. Also note the title is shown, but the subtitle is not.

To create this cover...

We need TWO separate files...

This file, which is full color, contains only the elements that will be printed using ink and NOT the elements that will be created with embossing or debossing. Note that the le thought bubble isn’t included since it’s done “blind” and that the title of the book is provided in white text on this file as well as on the black only embothe black only embossing file shown at le.
