Making spotter cards

Okay, so I have one done. The dimensions I should be working with in Photoshop are 2 inches by 3.5 inches, right? It looks a little small...



(That's just the front, links to sites, etc, will be on the back with logos.)

What size should I be making this thing, for those of you who have done it this way?

It'd be a better idea if I could get it to work right...I suck at this...grrrr...

If anyone who's good with Photoshop is really really bored...

** okay, never mind, I figured it out **

Sounds like you used the business card demensions.. what I did with my Z3 club was use the photo quality business cards from avery and import the layout into publisher... but yes the 3x2.5 should be good. I love your little quote its perfect!

I also used the business size when I did these two versions a few years ago.



They come in very handy

Very cool looking. Mind if I use that design? I love the black with the mini logo intergrated in.

Of course! It's not like I drew them myself...just shopped around the web for stuff that was suitable!

too many time people leave crappy cleaners, painters, maids advertisments
on my car at the stores that i just crumple it and toss it in the trash without
even looking. more like how dare they for touching my car! kinda.

therefore, it needs to be very high quality and must be placed neatly
on the driver side window.
