… safety area, drop trim-edge border Per Jukebox 3.5x2 template: - Bleed area 3.75x2.25in (background must extend here) - Trim 3.5x2in (cut line) - Safety area 3.25x1.75in (content must stay inside) Changes: - Drop the 2px black outer border at trim — with rounded cuts and ±1mm cut tolerance it would print uneven - Add 14px (≈0.125in at mockup scale) inner padding on every side so text/QRs/mascot all sit inside the safety area - Mascot pulled inward (was bottom:6px right:8px → bottom:18px right:20px), also shrunk slightly to clear the rounded-corner cut - Footer micro-text repositioned absolute inside safety, shortened so it fits on one line at 6px without wrapping past the safety line - Render two PNG sets to ~/Downloads: with-guides (dashed safety outline visible) for designer review, and clean (no-guides) for export - Update spec doc with exact bleed/safety/trim numbers + ICC profile + 300dpi + outlined-fonts requirements
Previous PNG export was at trim size (3.5x2in / 380x218px) which left
the bleed area empty in the Jukebox upload preview — risky if the cut
shifts even slightly.
scripts/render-business-card.mjs now produces both:
- *-with-guides.png — trim size + dashed safety overlay (designer review)
- *.png — bleed size 3.75x2.25in (405x242px), cream + titlebar
gradient extend past trim on all sides, no rounded
corners (printer cuts those per the Rounded .25" finish)
Run: node scripts/render-business-card.mjs
…side-safety rule) Titlebar text was at padding-top:5px which put 'michael.doyle.exe' / 'contact.txt' / window controls outside the 0.125" safety area. Increased titlebar padding-top to 14px so text top edge sits at the safety line. Titlebar grew ~8px (24→32) but visual proportion is nearly identical. Bleed-export gradient strip grew 36→44px to match the taller titlebar so the gradient stays seamless past trim.
…stem footer, rename Ask Me row Three issues from Jukebox upload preview: 1) Wrap gradient (full bleed width) and inner titlebar gradient (trim width) had different progressions -> visible color seam at trim edge. Fix: in bleed export, hide the inner titlebar's own background + border-bottom so a single full-bleed strip + line covers everything. Inner titlebar text is lifted via z-index (no nested stacking context on the bizcard so it competes with the wrap's pseudos). 2) Black titlebar separator stopped at trim. Now drawn by the wrap's ::after, spanning full bleed width. 3) System footer (<|system|>... ) was overlapping the QR row. Dropped it. Renamed '★ ASK ME / doyled-it.com/c' to '★ ASK BOTTY / chatbot helper' (QR still encodes /c).

What's in the branch
docs/business-card-design.md— full design spec. Card format, both sides' visual design, color palette, typography, the 8-QR redirect map, Jukebox print specs (bleed/safety/trim, ICC profile, DPI, font outlining), companion deliverables, and a "rejected ideas" section so future-me remembers why we passed on lenticular, work email, dot stego, etc.docs/business-card-mockup.html— single-file rendered front + back. Opens in any browser; serves as the visual source of truth.scripts/render-business-card.mjs—node scripts/render-business-card.mjsexports four PNGs to~/Downloads:*-with-guides.png— trim size with the dashed safety overlay (designer review)*.png— bleed size 3.75×2.25in, ready to upload to JukeboxPrint correctness
All 8 QRs are redirect-backed
Every QR encodes
doyled-it.com/<slug>, resolved bysrc/_data/redirects.json. If anything ever needs to change post-print — phone number, scheduling tool, scholar profile, anything — edit one line inredirects.jsonand ship. The cards never need to change.Test plan
