Are you in the process of designing a new business card? Are you not sure which type of design you would like, or if you should even hire a professional designer to do one for you?
If so, here are a few tips that may just help you decide.
Do you need a designer? -- If you are simply using your logo and an address as your business card details, in many cases you do not need a designer to help you. That is because the printers will be able to mock up a design that will look very professional, and will give you a nice looking business card.
If, however, you are planning something a little more elaborate, it is often a good idea to hire a designer. After all, if you do not have any design experience, putting together a design for a business card is actually a lot more difficult than it looks.
Stick to simple -- If you are going to do your own business card design, make it as simple as possible. Remember, it is a small card, will not fit much information on it and, with too much, will just look too squashed and unfocused. That is why keeping your design to a logo, your address and your email address is often the way to go.
Look at samples at the printers -- Before you commit to a design, make sure you look at sample designs at your printers. They should have books with hundreds of business card designs in them, and that will make it easy to decide on yours.
