How To Make A Simple Business Card In Photoshop

Creating your own business cards is a great way to keep up with professional looking cards while also having some degree of creative control over them. Plus, you get to choose what information you want to include and how you want to present it.

Business cards are a nice low-cost alternative to buying pre-made ones that look very similar to each other. They can be fun to design and create as well!

While most people use plastic card templates or computer software to make business cards, there is an easy way to do it without either. By using Adobe Photoshop, you can easily customize text, shapes, colors, and even add pictures to make new business cards.

In this article, I will show you how to make simple business cards in Photoshop. We will start by creating a white background and then adding our company name and contact info. Then we will edit the fonts and color for the title and body. If you would like to add a picture to go along with these cards, you can do so later.

Once everything is done, you will have several business cards you can print and put into action.

Draw a rectangle on the canvas

The next step is to draw a rectangle onto your canvas. You will want to pick an appropriate color for your business card so that you can easily identify this shape later.

To create your business card’s front, choose a good length to make two copies of your logo. Now move your logo into the middle of the rectangles and cut it down the center using free hand selection or the magic wand tool.

Once both pieces are separated, go back to the original business card template and drag one piece to the left side of the canvas by about three times the width of your logo. Repeat with the other piece but make it longer and put it at the right edge of the canvas.

Now take the second part of your business card (the name) and place it below the first piece. Your new business card should look like Figure 3-3.

In this article, I will show you how to make an easy business card or professional looking greeting cards in Adobe Photoshop. If you are new to photoshop, these can be very beginner levels of editing. But still pretty cool!

I will also go into some detail about the different tools and features that you can use to edit your images. So don’t worry if you have no idea what tool someone is talking about, there are plenty of examples included.

There are many ways to achieve the same result, but my favorite way is by using the ‘Paintbrush’ tool. It may take a little bit of practice at first to get the hang of it, but once you do, it will quickly become one of your favorites.

The Paintbrush tool allows you to create textures, patterns, and shapes within your image. By changing the brush style, shape, and size, you can produce amazing results.

In this tutorial, we will learn how to easily design beautiful business cards and other types of cards in Photoshop. There are two main things we will be doing here- adding colors to the card and creating our own texture with the help of the paintbrush.

Use the font of your choice

Having no pictures or florals, business cards with fonts are one of the easiest ways to create an elegant card. You can use any typeface you want, as long as it looks professional.

Most people start off using a very fancy looking business card style that is not practical to use. For example, if you look at most corporate executive’s business cards, they will use Arial or Calibri which are very easy to write with and do not require much decoration.

Business cards should be simple and straightforward so people can easily read what information is on them. If possible, try to find business cards online or in magazines to see how others design business cards to get some inspiration.

Duplicate the card and edit it

While this project is simple, there are many ways you can make it look more professional. You can add decorations or pictures that relate to your business or profession. You could even create your own style!

The first way we will talk about is by duplicating the other half of the business card. Then we will modify it to say something different and upload it onto your website or social media platform.

This method also allows you to easily change the color scheme and decoration if you so desire.
