I'm working on making a temporary business card (hopefully before a car show in 2 hours!) and I'm having font trouble. I've always had this problem and never could understand how to fix it.
I looked up the size of a business card - 3.5" x 2" and plugged that into Photoshop. I then found a sample card I liked and wanted to model from. So I started placing text. However the text is very low quality and blocky on the 252px x 144px canvas. The only way I could seem to fix this was to scale up the canvas quite a bit (4x size).
What am I doing wrong? I'm a bit of a newbie at the "types" of fonts, such as truetype etc.
Can someone give me a pointer as to how to make my fonts very nice and crisp and clean?
