Being the business pro that you are, you’ve got your company
set up, your financials on point, your goods and services perfected. Check,
check, check. You’ve had to become a master of a lot of things, so how hard
could designing a business card be?
Turns out, there are an infinite number of ways your
creativity can go, and it can be frustrating trying to come up with the perfect
design that embodies everything that your company does and represents.
Keep it simple. Sometimes, the more you try to cram, the less
you get your message across. People respond to uncomplicated images and symbols
that succinctly communicate an idea. And simple, clean designs have the added
appeal of not needing too much time or effort to look world-class.
If you’re still banging your head trying to find a design
for your business card, consider these beautiful no-brainer designs.
1.) Say Something
Make your business card the start or follow
up of a conversation. All you need is a pop of color and friendly text, and
voila, you have a business card.
2.) Shorthand Symbols
Most people are visual learners, and the brain processes images and
symbols a lot faster than it processes letters and words. The card below is
very clear about what the business is about without having to explain anything.
3.) Smart Use of Color
It’s funny how one bold color can elicit an immediate reaction from the
viewer. And that’s what you want to do – grab their attention. The judicial use
of a very few colors in your design, especially if you can tie it in to the actual
work you do like the design below, is both simple to achieve and bold to
behold.
4.) Take a Picture
There is a
reason people say a picture is worth a thousand words. You can stand out from
the crowd of the oh-so-hot minimalist designs by using one stunning, visually
interesting photograph, like this template from www.youink.com. Not only is the image both interesting and
arresting, it can add a personal touch as well.
