Hi, every one, I do some designs for business card and brochures, but when I look in google, I see people make their designs look this way, does anyone knows how to do it. even if it's in another software than inkscape.

Hi.

To me this looks like 'any other' Inkscape project, what is your question really?
How to get the 'cutout' text? Or?

To get some ideas have a look at these;

Here you will find 'ready-made' template;

Throw in some youtube videos for good measure;

Let's suppose that I already designed the business card or the brochure, how do I put it rotated in that background.

Hi.

Oh, that's different than what I first thought!

The two first images in your original post are most likely photographs - based on the 'depth of field' blur.

To get the '3d' effect there are several ways of doing these.
One obvious is to use the perspective extension, have a look at this thread;

Stay tuned for example.

I got the real name of the effect, it's mock up, my question would become how to create business card mock up in inkscape ?

Hi.

To create this effect you could create a 3d box representing one card and then stack several boxes on top of each other with a slight offset.

Have a look at some of the tutorials made for 'The other' vector drawing program - Adobe Illustrator;

To get the 'proper' 3-d effect a dedicated 3d program might be better.
Have a look at the free open source program blender;
Be aware that blender have a 'different' user interface and the learning curve is very steep - especially in the beginning!
THe qualiti of work you can do with blender is amazing!

I tried the perspective extension, but it doesn't work with a group, just one path at the time, but I tried the cage transformation tool in gimp after I transfer the picture from inkscape, and it works very well



I just need to add a good texture for the background and some lightning and shading effects, that's all.

Hi.

Nice image!
By using gimp you have lost the possibility to further enhance the vector image.
I try to avoid bitmaps altogether as they are not easily scaleable.

Yes you lose the ability to modify any vector design by moving it to gimp, but this step won't be an intermediate or essential one, I'll just put them there after all the design is finished just to see how they look, for printing and other stuff, the inkscape svg files will be used.
