Business cards: How would I design mine?
I am starting to make a lot more business contacts, but I'm a bit old fashioned so I still like getting business cards instead of people just asking to add me on Linkedin. How do I design a business card, and what kind of design should I go with? I dont have any solid design experience, so I think a clean modern look without the bells and whistles would work.

Oh, I used to design custom business cards. It was a passion of mine when I was younger. But now, I love the online service of moo.com. They not only provide inspiration, but also a great quality of materials. And that makes a real difference. I have a simple business card, made 100% from recycled cotton. And it feels so solid!

Over the years I've had plenty of different business cards. My latest card is super high-quality, thick, and black. It also just has my name on it. I went with the "luxury" and "great first impression" look.

Your card is part of your image, the design needs to have impact and represent your business. Get a professional graphic designer and have your logo and card done properly. Design is a profession and if you don't have design training and print artwork skills then it will show on your card. Don't use a printer to do your design or the artwork. The artwork must be made professional so the printer can print it. You use a designer, a trained one that has gone to design school and you will have

Be careful of choosing a 'stock' design from an on-line printer. I know three people with three different businesses who use the same art from Vistaprint. It looks ridiculous for each of them. Find a graphic designer who can create one that's yours and only yours. A local printshop or chamber of commerce can give you a referral.
