I have used both, Illustrator is going to make it easier to layout multiple copies of your card on one page and allow you to make sure you text throughout is lining up.

If the card had something like a photo or special effects that need to be on it then doing all that in photoshop and importing it into Illustrator is the way to go, you can keep you text info separate from the image to make updating easy.

What Lonnie is saying can be true, photoshop has antialiasing for text, so it it is turned off the edges will appear jagged, also if you photoshop files dpi is 100 or so at the size of the card then for sure you will get jagged lettering.

Photoshop & Vistaprint - 02-10-2009, 03:48 PM


I designed my cards with Photoshop, but use Vistaprint.com for my cards. I pay for mine as they are four-color on each side, but you can get FREE cards at Vistaprint.com too! All the best, rg sends!
