Business Card Design Part 3: How to Make Sure Your Design Makes an Unforgettable First Impression

Last Updated on December 31, 2021 by studiob2

You may not think it, but business card design is often a big part of your first impression to someone. It gives your target client an ideal about your business and yourself. That little piece of stock paper can sometimes make or break whether someone remembers you and your company enough to contact you again. Here is what you need to know about getting the perfect business card for your brand and you through graphic design. 

Stick to the Essentials When It Comes to Business Card Design

The main point of your business card is to provide a connection with the information they need to contact you again. This means that you just need your name, company’s name and tagline, phone number, and e-mail address. If you have a brick-and-mortar location, you should also include that information. Too much info can be overwhelming.

Be Bold

Just because you are not filling your business card with your life story does not mean it should be boring. Make sure that your design stands out from other business cards. All of the information and branding should be clear immediately, without any need to search for it. Choose design elements that work well together and work well with your brand. Do not be afraid to think a bit outside the box with a photo of yourself or other design elements. 

Stay True to Your Brand

The other vital part of your business card is to quickly convey your brand identity. Make sure that all elements that go into your card are consistent with your brand. A well-designed business card allows a reader to easily understand what your company is trying to project. 

Spend Time on Your Logo

You probably are already thinking about your company’s logo. Whether you need a logo or are considering a redesign, it is important to keep how it would look on a business card in mind. A good logo for a business card needs to be identifiable on a small scale, and it needs to accurately represent your company. The logo is often the first visible element of a business card. 

Readability Is Key

It may not be as exciting as strong branding or boldness, but readability is vital. Without it, all the branding in the world will not matter. To make your card as readable as possible, choose fonts and patterns that work well together and are pleasing to the eye. Make sure that the font color and size are readable.
