Designing A Business Card That Doesn't Suck! (6 Pro Tips)

To ensure a professional and effective business card design, you will need some professional understanding. Today’s video offers some TOP TIPS for designing the perfect business card each and every time. Also we will make great use of the Visual Attention Software (VAS) by 3M, as a means to test my business card layout, and ensure the efficiency of my design.

Some people claim that business cards are a thing of the past. As somebody who works with brands on entire brand packages, I can safely say that no, they are not a thing of the past. Business cards are just as relevant now as they were ten years ago, and a lot of the rules around the design of a business card remain the same.

Excellent video Tom, could you talk a bit about your printing experience? There are business cards with laminated finishes, jet barnish, corner topping, painted edge, dry stroke, etc.

Super helpful tutorial.. thank u for teaching the important things to keep in mind about designing an effective business card... my most recently Designed business card was last year just before the lockdown in March and I used black in front and white at back with yellow scripted logo for a female clothing online shop. I feel that with your today’s tutorial, I can now design better business cards...

[malkizoghlami]

please make a video about designs meant for printing, bleed, marging and such things. Thanks !

[vufeflj]

Wow, I love these cool tips. one of the best card design tips ever. Love from India 🇮🇳

[monciparedes]

You should dedicate a video to printing.
I’ve been in printing for about 7 years now, and bleeds and margins are crucial! It’s so frustrating when this isn’t provided. Worse when the file we get is flattened and we can’t fix it.

[andrillaf]

So helpful! I just wish VAS wasn’t so expensive. Seems worth it once I build my business a little more though!

[josepholaoba]

It's the 'peace' at the end for me

[montsergirl]

This is so helpful! You really seem to know what we all need to be learning at the exact time 😊🙌🏻 thank you as always for this!

I’ll def checkout and use VAS thanks for the tips sir. I would suggest not having www. in your web link as its been quite a few years since people have had to type that to get to a website so just think that really dates a promo link when used (just per peeve as no idea why any still use in this day and age).

Hi Satori I'm in Love with your voice Especially when you say ''bitcoin'' in your past videos ❤❣

[wonderlife]

Thank you for the info. What thickness of cardstock usually ideal? Thanks
