What type of file is your logo ? (you better have not taken an image from the web) You’ll need a program with which to do pagination (Quark XPress, InDesign, Illustrator will do) You use this program to make your layout (combining your image and your text).

If your Mac has Microsoft Works, there should be templates available to help design and layout business cards.

Otherwise, the best bet would be to use a page layout application (NOT pagination. That is something else, entirely!) like InDesign or QuarkXpress. Corel and Illustrator will also work.

With a bit of effort, the entire card can be designed in Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, or any other application that can handle text. You CAN, even do it in Word, or other word processor, but these will limit where you can place text and graphics.

Just “import” or “place” your logo into the file, and lay it out as you would like.

Note to “hundred_bullets”: “Pagination” is the technique of laying out pages so that, as the paper is run through the press, when the paper is cut and folded, all the pages come out in the proper order. A paperback pocket book, for example is not printed on tiny rolls, the size of the book. Instead, several pages are lain out on a single plate then printed on large rolls. The plate will print eight, sixteen, thirty-two or more, different, pages at one time. The sheet is cut, folded and trimmed by machine. When done, the pages will be right side up, and in the proper ordered. Each “booklet” is then assembled with the rest to bind into a complete book.

The proper layout of the pages to go onto a printing plate is called “pagination.”

You can get a good “feel” for this process by designing an eight page booklet. On a single sheet of standard copy paper, fold it twice, so that you have a 1/4 sized sheet. Cut the sheet so that you have two half sheets, nestled together so that it can be stapled along the remaining fold. Draw large page numbers on each side of all the pages, so that the front cover is number one, and the back cover is number eight, with all the pages inside numbered.

Now, figure out how you would layout each of these pages on both sides of a single sheet of paper, so that after printing, you only need to fold and trim the edges and everything comes out in order and right side up.

Imagine having to paginate a sixteen (three folds) or thirty-two (four folds) page brochure or catalogue on a single plate.

This is pagination.
