Business cards

In our first session today with Liam, we got asked to download the 'business card' tutorial. To begin with we had to open photoshop and select a 'clipboard' or a International paper' and use the exact measurements '85mm width and 55mm height' this makes the exact size for a business card. Afterwards, we had to select a rectangle, then select the drop down menu in the option bar and then click 'fixed height' and fix the height of the rectangle too - '85mm width and 55mm height'. we then had to colour it, using fill. We then go onto 'Layers' - 'Smart object' - 'Convert to smart object'. You then double click on your new smart object layer to bring up layer style menu. Then select 'Gradient overlay' once you have done that go onto 'Adjustments'  and add 'posterize' and adjust the level. You then select the rectangle and select it with the 'eyedropper tool' then click below and paste another rectangle once you have done that, you can then add text onto both the rectangles.. on the front you put things like - the logo, the name and your personal name. and then on the back, you put information on like how to contact you. Facebook, phone number, location etc..

This is my first attempt of a business card - my photoshop was playing up reason for it being black and white. -
