Hi, just asking why on earth you would use photoshop to create a business card?

If you're a serious designer you would at least use illustrator or preferably indesign.

Maybe I would create the background in photoshop and import it into indesign then continue from there.

I could go on, but I will stop here to proove my point.

PS: he's creating raster text and not vector, that's a very big issue itself right there...

1. Use illustrator or indesign

2. Download temokates from the printers. Dont assume margins'/bleeds

3. Don't keep saying generally

4. Use the shift or apple key to maintain proportions

@Jas0n39er he was making a example. Do you really think he will make a professional business card just to actually show to you.

What kind of know-nothing duche uses Photoshop—a raster-based IMAGE EDITOR—to create business cards or any other typesetting design work for that matter?

Photoshop is an IMAGE EDITOR; Not a text layout application. You need Illustrator and InDesign to do this kind of work.

Cool pic but I definately wouldn't use photoshop to set type. The edges never look clean. The type is blurry. Seriously use another app to set type...

Why is this in 720 and 1080 when it's obviously just resampled from a lower quality file?
