1. Proportioned Elements: Your business card design and layout consists of different types of elements such as the main and sub photos, graphics, name and contact text, and service details. In designing, you make sure that these items blend perfectly with the right length, size, and width measurements. Your name, contact number, and company name are the three main items you need to highlight; consider them as the theme of the business card design and find the right positioning and sizing to have these three items shine within the card space.
2. Color Blends: The colors of your design play an important role in the total balance of your business card. If you are not sure on how to play with colors, you can start off by using two colors that alternate in your text. For example, changing from red to black per line of the details you input. For graphics, use different shades of the same color if you are just beginning; a purple background can have lavender text to contrast well. If you feel like taking risks, you can observe first sample business cards online; then you can input the blend of color used into your own design.
3. Graphic Logic: When in doubt, you can be safe by picking out symbols or shapes that represent your business, product, or service. For example, a dressmaker can be symbolized with a needle and thread, beads, and a mannequin. Also, when inputting two or more graphics, make sure that they are related together, if not by image, at least by a matching or contrasting color.
Since most customers are not adept and knowledgeable in graphic designing, printers have provided a solution for building and customizing designs for almost every type of business or profession out there. Now, with the proper design knowledge, you can experiment further with online editing tools and clip arts to perfect your business card design into your own.
