It's possible to install GIMP on OS X even though it's not officially supported: http://www.gimp.org/downloads/
Yeah I saw that one but i wasn't sure if I should use it. Right now im messing around with Seashore but im not really liking it

Seashore blows,
for real.
If you can get GIMP to work thats probably your best bet.
Seashore really does blow...Even just inserting text is a friggin abortion. You have to click a random spot and type it you cant preview it for shit. I already closed the program and am continuing the search

I used Gimp forever.
Then I got a student discount from college for Adobe CS4 designer pack. With Fireworks and Photoshop, I don't know how I ever lived with Gimp.
It's ok for a free program I suppose, but it has a very clunky interface and it's hard to navigate. It also takes forever to load for some reason.

I use GIMP on windows and it kicks ass 
Its slow to load though, and it takes a while to get used to it, while with Photoshop you can just load it and use it straight away

The "CDK Lighting" looks awkward... I would change out the font... or the colors... or something... but it needs a change.
and the focal point seems to be the truss with the lights and not your info... that should be changed too.
GIMP is a pretty good free program for OS X. It isn't as advanced as Photoshop, but it can get the job done for basic stuff.

I recently tried GIMP at work on Windows. Installs fine and is easy enough to use. It doesn't have a CMYK-Mode though. That's a big con imo.

Is that the right dimensions for a business card? If it's full bleed you're going to lose some important elements in print.
The logo text does not look right at all. An inner glow rather than inner shadow would help make it stand out but I think the font is a bad choice overall.
I agree with the text and all that so i tried making a new one but my boss is stuck on this one and he already went ahead and is getting them printed. So its out of my hands now.
I tried seashore I didn't like it at all. I used pixlr.com and it was pretty decent.
