Creative Business Card Design Ideas
Creative business card design is key when thinking about getting your companies business cards designed.
Your companies card is possibly one of the most important items of creative design work you will need, right after your logo that is of course!
Your companies business card is usually one of the first items of branded material that you will hand over to your client. Therefore it needs to be:
- The most eye catching
- Well designed
- High print quality
Why?
Why I hear you ask! The reasons are simple:
Use an eye catching design….
It needs to draw attention to you. Think about use of colour and imagery. But also be careful not to drift too far from your current brand design.
Consistency is key!
Design is key to the overall look of your card…
A business card is small, so you you need to think carefully about the content you want the card to hold and how you will lay it out.
Primarily most business cards will tell the holder: who you are, what you do and how they can contact you to do it.
At this point you will also need to think about anything you want the card to do if you are looking at producing a more creative business card design. Thing about paper craft techniques, die cuts, texture and print methods. All these factors will have an impact on how you design.
Make sure you go for quality when printing…
A cheaply printed business card does your company no favours.
Make sure you go for a paper stock that is of reasonable quality. Think about printing methods and techniques – could you use texture, shine or laminates to enhance your card?
Take a moment to think about when you have been handed someone else’s business card. What thoughts and emotions do their cards provoke. Something as simple as the quality of a card can determine whether or not you gain their trust and eventually their business.
