How to create a business card?

W00DY

Hi All,

The answer to this could be somewhere within the "show us your business card" thread, but with 72 pages I don't have time to look through it all

I want to design a business card in CS3 but am not sure what dimensions etc... to use. If I get them printed professionally do they need to be 300 dpi?

Are there any step by step instructions on this? Not on the design aspect but the photoshop part.

Cheers,
W00DY

Traditional card dimensions are 3.5" x 2" x 300dpi.

I made my card as that, sent the jpegs off to overnightprints.com and I'm still flabbergasted with how good the result was.

I recently ordered mine from these folks. They turned out great and you have a lot of control of the finished product:
