The inner pink border is the 5mm margin, and the outer red border is the 5mm bleed. The black outline indicates the edge of the document itself - 85mm wide by 55mm high. You'll be presented with a document as shown below. This would be larger for a bigger document, and if it proves to be too small it can be altered later. Just enter a 5mm margin all the way around. You view the bleed and slug settings by clicking the 'more options' button on the right (which becomes a 'fewer options' button after being pressed).

Don't worry about the 'slug' setting - this dictates where additional textual information is shown within the printer's registration marks - it's not essential information for now. When you create new InDesign files you'll be presented with a new document dialogue box (see below). I always play it safe and set the file up with 5mm bleed. Usually at least 3mm bleed is required for most documents. The final artwork will require crop marks to guide the print finisher where to cut it out. We're going to set this document up with bleed, which means that the elements on the page will 'bleed off' onto the paste board. Most business cards tend to be 85mm x 55mm in size (or 90mm x 55mm). The principles of setting up a layout document correctly are universal (whether you create InDesign files or Quark files). Creating Spot Color Documents - Business Card Layout Design

If you'd like to know about the basics of how to design and design theory, there are some excellent websites and books at your disposal. The purpose of this website is to demonstrate essential skills which are required for your first graphic design job - I'm going to assume that you already have a some background training and a good eye for design. The logo I'm using for this exercise is one that I put together in Illustrator (see the Create Vector Logo exercise) to demonstrate how to create both spot color and four color process vector graphic files. We'll create both spot color and 4 color process versions. This is a simple exercise to demonstrate how to produce press-ready Adobe InDesign files by creating a basic business card layout design and preparing it for press.
