Business Card Composer's sole function is to help you design professional-looking business cards. It comes with a wide variety of predesigned templates and categories of clip art and photos. It can also access images in your iPhoto albums via a menu option.

You begin the process by choosing the orientation and the card stock on which you're planning to print from a long list of popular vendors' products. Then you can choose a modifiable template or a blank card. Fields on the card will automatically import information from Mac OS X's Address Book entries. And if you want to have your cards printed professionally, a link lets you send the job to an online printing company.

The figure shows a card created using one of the templates, plus the Properties, Colors, and Fonts palettes and the Food clip art collection.

Why I like it: Business Card Composer makes it easy to create business cards you'll be proud to pull out of your pocket.
