Using an A4 sheet of paper (no lines); create a rough draft of your business card (one side only). Use color, not just black and white.Take a photo of it and post it to posterous.

PART II

Use Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop to create your business card. Business cards are 3.5 x 2 inches but we are going to make ours large (A4 landscape) and you can rescale later if you need.
