Dont use Photoshop.
Photoshop is for images!
Its NOT a page layout application.
Yes, your images will look cool, but your type will have a fuzzy/hairy look to it. And if you use small type (like 5-6 pts.), it will come out barely readable.
Use Photoshop for your images, Illustrator for your vector images (logos, etc.), and then do your page layout in InDesign.
Youll have less issues in the long run.
Designers tend to think they can do everything in Photoshop, but they dont take into account the printing process when they set lines of 4 point type in photoshop. It doesnt work!

Hello! Most of the times (for everyday purposes like this one) you can get away by using photoshop only. It is very user friendly and have good tutorials for the purpose. InDesign used for publishing purposes mostly (like Quark Xpress - layouts for the magazines, broshures etc. - you take pictures and text from other programs and arrange them in Indesign) and Illustrator is a vector graphic program and if you are just starting to use the Creative suite - I would advise you to use Photoshop. It is good for the job you want to do and after you know your way around it - it will be much easier to navigate through other programs as most of the tools are similar.
