How to make Senior

411 cards? Can someone help walk me through it. I have photoshop CS3 and I would like to learn to design some.

Thanks,
Teeny

What is a "411 card" ?

Well Its about the size of a business card and it has their picture on it and like their ph.# and my space and facebook address. They can hand them out to their friends. You can also put your website on the back of card etc.

It's ok, you're not alone. At least I can say I learned something today

why not just go online and make a business card, with the stuff you want on it?

Well, that shouldn't be too hard.

I guess you could just creat a new page, say a 2x3 and select the color backdrop you want. Play around with some texture or gradients and then take a picture of the student and scale it down to size so that it would fill half the new card size page. Open that picture up and drag it over to your new background page.

You may have to mask it to erase some part of it you do'nt want, then use your text tool to add whatever info you want.

Start out with that and have fun.

If you get stuck, call 411!

Thanks everyone. I am going to take your suggestions.

you know I never knew about these cards either...but it sounds like a great idea to make and make a little bit of money from as well

(Is that the same thing as being young?)

I'm 25 and thought he was talking about about senior citizen cards, like for the family or something

we used to just write all of our information in each others year books

These are actually a really big thing now - I'm 30 and didn't know abut them until last year. They're actually 2 x 3.5. WHCChas a specific product for them now Same as a biz card order only a smaller quantity.

HAHA, that was my first thought too...

BUT there is a great template HERE that is a photoshop business card template! I use it all the time! Just download and follow the instructions!

Ok - my curiosity is peaked now.

There is Nothing like that around where I am. I could see this being a fun gift idea for parents and such.

But tell me this, do facebook users have a 'facebook address'? I think myspace does, but I didn't know facebook does.

And do you put Your website on the back or the student's if they have one?

I see Mpix prints up 100 business cards for 20 dollars. Do you think there are better bargains out there ?
