Hi Kelly,

do you drill your own teeth too?

Photoshop is not for graphic design. It is for photo editing.

So get someone who knows what they're doing to do it for you. That's the fastest way, with waaaay better odds for some quality....

Have fun!

  Yeah, you can, and perhaps in your case should, hire for professional stuff like this. You actually can make graphics in Photoshop, but it might be kind of difficult. If you just got photoshop, have fun reading up on it and then edit your photos for amazing results, but why bother trying to use it to make graphics? However, I make computer graphics, logos, whatever I want for myself using the free Inkscape, and the results are very nice.

  Someone made http://inkscape.org/screenshots/gallery/inkscape-0.44-savic.png with inkscape. That was version 0.44. 0.46 is coming out soon.

  However if you're asking if photoshop can make business cards or still looking for applications, you probably wouldn't be able to produce results like that without reading up on inkscape and vector graphics and logo design and stuff and practicing for months. And then you have to know how to print it correctly on the correct paper type. Search online for professional business card and brochure making, just research any company before using it to make sure there are no problems (scams) with it.

  I'm glad to help. :) But I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "love your name". Because, almost nobody knows how to pronounce it by reading it on paper, so, you know. lol

Kelly,
Have you tried VistaPrint? You can upload a graphic to design your own custom business card. They also have lots of pre-made card designs, with coordinating designs for brochures.

A business card design does not have to be complicated to be eye-catching. You only have 7 square inches to get your point across. I designed my card in CorelDraw and uploaded it, then filled in the text on VistaPrint.

They have templates that you can download for several programs, including PhotoShop.
