standard card size is 3 1/2 x 2 inches. add 1/8 all around if there's going to be bleed (ink right to the edge of the card).

do it in indesign (or quark?) if you have access. otherwise do as much via illustrator. only photo manipulation should be done in photoshop, and you shouldn't really be using full photos for a business card.
