Progression: Making a Business Card

What is a business card?

a business card is a small card printed with one's name, occupation, business address, etc. usiness cards are cards bearing business information about a company or individual. A business card typically includes the giver's name, company or business affiliation (usually with a logo) and contact information such as street addresses, telephone number(s), fax number, e-mail addresses and website. When designed correctly, your business card reminds people of the first time you met and encourages those who are interested in your products or services to get back in touch or visit your website for more information.

Knowing what to add and what to leave out helps create a card that’s both eye-catching and well-balanced. Try not to only focus on the graphic elements and text you want to add, but consider the space around them too. This is often referred to as ‘negative space.’ By also thinking about the space around your text and logo, you achieve balance and give each element room to breathe. Good, clean design communicates that you’re organized and professional.

Business Card Elements:
  • Logo
  • the name of the company 
  • Tagline
  • Your name
  • Job title
  • Website
  • Contact details

Designing the Business Card:

I used the Adobe template presets to base the design of my business card. With the Creative Cloud - one has access to several professional designs that can be edited using the software available.
