Business Card Design Tips # 1 - Use of Colors
Your business card can be a spot defining factor of your nature. So, you need to make sure that the right side of you is exposed in the card. Mostly, use of color is suggested in the card. This makes it look lively and not boring. However, try to avoid creating a rainbow on your business card. Do not use more than 4 colors on your business card (other than the logo, if any). The choice of color can depend on the gender and purpose. Like a woman can experiment with mauves and lavender and men can try their hand at maroons and browns. In case, you are using the card to show an analytical side, use solid colors like blue, green, gray and red. In case the card is to expose your creative or talent side, you could use fluid colors like purple, mauve, pink and turquoise. Either ways, the colors should effectively compliment your personality.
Business Card Design Tips # 2 - Use of Font
Just like colors, your fonts need to compliment your personality and purpose. Try not to use more than 2 fonts in your business card. The size of the fonts can vary, as long as legibility is maintained. Depending on your gender, you can select any font. Like, men can stick to a bolder set of fonts. They put an impression of persuasion on the reader. Women, on the other hand can opt for any font. The delicate fonts will make the reader take keen interest in what the person has to say and a bolder font will impress the reader enough to create intrigue. I know, it sounds like a double standard, it sort of is, but it can’t be helped. Whichever font you select, it has to be in compatibility with the nature of its purpose and has to be easily legible. Not that a reader will never try too hard to read a business card.
