Premium PSA-Style Trading Card Design

I have all the photography, stats, and branding assets ready to go; what I need now is your seasoned eye to shape them into a high-end, PSA-style trading card. The look I’m after is modern and sleek, but it still has to respect every technical detail that a professional press expects—full-bleed layout, safe margins, 300 dpi raster elements, and CMYK (or Pantone) colour management that honours a specific palette I’ll supply.

Each card will showcase a crisp player or character image, an organised block of text for stats and bios, plus my logos and other branding marks. I’m counting on you to balance these pieces with smart typography, hierarchy, and just the right amount of finish so the design feels premium without becoming cluttered.

Please use whatever mix of Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, or Photoshop you find most efficient; layered, edit-ready files are essential so I can update future print runs. Colour accuracy is critical, so soft-proofing or pre-press checks are a big plus.

Acceptance criteria / deliverables
• Editable source file (AI, INDD, or layered PSD)
• Press-ready PDF with 1/8" bleeds and crop marks
• High-resolution JPEG or PNG mock-up for quick review

If you’ve previously handled collectible or sports card projects—and you know your way around varnish layers, foil areas, or spot-colour calls, even better. Let me see a sample of that work, and let’s get this card on press without a hitch.
