Business Card This Photoshop selection is a business card I created for my cousin. As a DIY type of lady, I wanted to help her get her name out there. So I decided to take a stab at learning how to make a business card in Photoshop.  I sought out a written tutorial on line on how to select the correct width and height. The tutorial also instructed me on how to work within guides while developing the card. Once again my creativity or lack thereof was warranted, as my cousin didn’t have a vision for her business card. Producing this card challenged my creativity.
