2. Set the document size to match the standard size for business cards (typically 3.5 inches by 2 inches).

Step 3: Design the Layout

1. Use the "Rectangle" or "Rectangle Tool" to create the basic shape of your business card.
2. Customize the color and style of your rectangle as needed.

2. Click on your document to create a text box.
3. Enter your contact information, including your name, job title, phone number, email address, and any other relevant details.
4. Adjust the font, size, and color of the text as desired.

Step 5: Incorporate Graphics

1. Use the "Shape Tool" to draw shapes or lines if needed.
2. Import your company logo or other graphics using the "File" > "Import" option.
3. Arrange and resize elements to create a visually appealing design.

Step 6: Customize Colors and Fonts

Step 9: Export for Printing

When you're satisfied with your design, export it in a format suitable for printing. Common formats include PDF or high-resolution image formats like PNG or JPEG.

Tips:

• Ensure important information is legible and not too small.
• Consider using a high-resolution logo for better print quality.
• Leave a margin around the edges to avoid cutting off any elements during printing.
