Limo Service Business Card Design

This tutorial shows how I created a limousine service business card using layers of photos and graphics. This Florida limo owner specified he wanted a card with 2 palm trees, a towncar, and the sun. The following sequence illustrates how the effect was created with 3 photographs and custom graphics. I substituted a Florida sunset photo instead of the sun to improve the overall layout.

Step 1: The photo of two palm trees cropped 3-1/2" x 2.0":


Step 2: The limousine company logo graphic was added next:


Step 3: A green graphic to simulate grass was used across the bottom:


Step 4: The pink sunset photo overlay blends in to the palm tree photo:


Step 5: Next, the towncar photo hides the floating palm tree effect:


Step 6: The name, phone, and other details completes the look:


If the palm tree photo looks familiar, it was used in a previous post comparing a photo in screen view and printed. When creating custom business cards it is important to give each client a unique look. If doing a card design for your company, consider combining photos to appear as a single scene.
