Method/program for creating a graphical email signature

Question

I would like to create a kind of business card for my email signature in Mac OS X, with a nice graphical design. I tried to find software for this but it seems most people use photoshop, etc, which is very complicated. I wonder if you could tell me some other much easier software/method for this, or the approach you follow for my objective.

Answer 1

Don't use images. It is very discouraged to use images in mails because that increases mail size unnecessary.

If you really need to use some enhanced design, use html. There is a handy tutorial available on how to inject html signatures to Mail.app. For creating your HTML, you can use a simple text editor or some wysiwyg-software.

It is possible though to create some nice-looking signatures completely without html!
