Business cards are more than a piece of paper. He played an important role in the company. I remember when I was still doing my thesis. I have read one of the sites that I've been surfing that business cards are like lottery tickets. It is a lottery for sales and money for your business.
You can specify the image of a just society by looking at their business card. The most beautiful card, it equates to a more stable society.
Before starting our tutorial on how to make your own business card, we should first learn the important in making a business card.
When you make your business card to include all your contact information such as name, address, e-mail, corporate logo, phone number and etc. In addition, are always your tagline or slogan. Each significant import should be placed on the front of the card and back to write your services, directorates and the etc.
In regards to text do not use all uppercase just because it is easier to read. Make legible font and don't be a fantasy with respect to your type face. If information changes write rather a new business card. Make legible font and don't be a fantasy on the faces of type.
In this tutorial, we will use Photoshop. To start, open your Photoshop, select file, and then click New. Specify the file name, size, and resolution.
The standard size for the business card is 3.5 by 2 inches.
The resolution should be 300 pixels / inch or 300 Dpi.
If you want to integrate your own logo or use image is acceptable as long as it has the same resolution with the card. You can go to the Image, and then click the size of the Image; There, you can change the resolution of the image if it is not 300 Dpi. You can also use the transform tool free to adjust its size.
Go Edit and then click free transform (Ctrl + T)
When you use the free transform tool, hold down the SHIFT key then Ctrl + T and adjust the size. It is best to keep the SHIFT key so that you can avoid the distortion of the image.
Paste the image or logo that you want to use for your business card. After that, go to the text tool in the left tool menu. Type the necessary information. I use a different layer for the name, address, e-mail, etc., to make it easier to change or modify. After that, you can now choose the type face is that you will use. The more formal and simple that is the face of type, it will look sophisticated.
The name of the company must be larger that any other information to focus on the name of the company. Other information should be 8-12 pt.
You can see that the map begins to take shape nicely. Now, you can arrange the logo or image and text. Forget the company name must be on the top and the other information are at the bottom or to the part of the Centre of the map.
The color of the font of the map depends on the color of the background of the map. If the background color is dark, the font color should be light and vice versa. In addition, if you want to have a nice background and not just a plain white you can play with the degraded overlay or with the Merge option. You can even play with Forms.
Open the layer window and click on the fx icon, and then select the overlay option or gradient blend.
To access the shapes just go to the custom shape tool located in the left tool menu. Then, go to the form in the top menu and choose what you want to use.
When you have completed the design of your business card, put a small boarder autour edges so you can easily cut the map after printing.
Make a new layer, and then press CTRL + A to select all.
Go to Select click modify , and then select boarder. After that, enter a value of 5 pixels.
This tutorial is very simple, even for a beginner. If you want a more complicated design for your business card, you can explore Photoshop and familiarize themselves with all the tools that you can do any design you want. Keep just on the practice.
