Designing a Business Card

Filed under: Web Graphics — Fiery Darts @ 7:18 am

Designing a Business Card
Start by creating a new file. Fill the background with a light gray color.
Create a rectangle using rectangular shape tool with blue color.
Apply stroke with the settings shown.
Add company name and logo in the bottom portion.
Take a duplicate of the logo. Press Ctrl+T.
Scale it up.
Move this layer above the blue rectangle layer. Change the layer mode to screen and opacity to 30%.
Press Ctrl+Alt+G to create a clipping mask.
Add the card holder’s name and designation at the top left.
Add address and services on the bottom right of the blue rectangle. Right align the text.
