Designing Business Cards, Fliers, Brochures, and Logos Designing your own brochures, business cards, and logos can save you a considerable amount of money—but you certainly don’t want these items to be anything less than the highest professional quality. PhotoSuite comes with a range of templates for creating these materials that will represent you and your business well. The professional layouts for business cards, brochures, and logos illustrated in this section were created with PhotoSuite templates, but can give you some ideas for creating your own layouts from scratch using similar fonts and graphic effects. The Advantages of Making Your Own Business Cards Business cards are generally so inexpensive to have printed, you might wonder why you even want to bother taking the time to create your own. But scanning software allows you a level of artistic control you could never get from a print shop. Here are a few advantages of maintaining business cards you can edit and print on your computer: ■ You can create several sets of business cards and tailor the text to types of clients or jobs you’re hoping to attract. For example, you can print different sets of cards identifying specific types of services you provide, and omitting others that might be irrelevant in certain types of business settings. ■ You can update your cards frequently, on a moment’s notice, and never need to wait to get your cards back from the print shop. ■ You can add a photographic image relatively inexpensively, and control the appearance and quality of the image by experimenting on your own. Most print shops can’t allow you this degree of freedom. CHAPTER 16: Communicating Through Scanned Photos 301 16 Please purchase PDF Split-Merge on www.verypdf.com to remove this watermark.
