Re: Business Card Design Software Crack Works
Pamula Harrison
I used graphics and such from the client's site. I am not going to blur anything because the information is readily available and I see the Business card as my work because I was not paid for the design.
The big issue I see overall is a struggle to make contrast work but a hesitancy to actually push the contrast to a readable state. All the semi-transparent rectangles behind information make for a very unclear business card.
Be very careful when you find yourself wanting to put outer glows and drop shadows on text. This is sure sign that there's a readability issue. There really should rarely be a need to separate text from a background with a glow or shadow. When there is, it's an indicator that the contrast between the text and background is too low. For a business card, where conveying information is the paramount issue, low contrast is just bad design. I notice on every single line of text, you've got a glow in addition to the background rectangle.
I'd also suggest not using the back of a card unless it's specifically designed as needed. For example, simply placing the logo and the paracord grenade on the front, then have all information on the back (without any photos).
When I design cards, I like to keep the front very clean and simple (usually just the logo and/or a simple design, if I can) then place the contact info on the back, somewhat like you have already done. Maybe try flipping the card vertically and placing the chord grenade sitting on that sand paper looking surface with their logo above or below it.
I would also suggest to make the scan area smaller an put it in the top corner of the back. This would leave space for a notes area, which could be pretty useful for those people that have a lot of business cards from various businesses. With the notes area it allows the customer to write notes so they can destinquish one plumber from the other 7 they have in their wallet if that makes sense. Also depending on where you live, there may not be very many paracord companies out there to worry about this. Still, just a thought.
I'm a professional graphic designer, new to freelancing, and I am preparing a proposal for an identity project. The project includes a logo, a business card design, and an electronic letterhead template.
I am going to transfer the copyright of the logo to the client but I'm wondering whether or not I should assign copyright of the business card design and letterhead template as well or instead provide an exclusive license?
I don't plan to copy or reuse the design of the business cards and letterhead template for another client, but business cards and letterhead often look pretty similar and I wouldn't want to be accused of infringement for creating a similar layout for another project.
I'm in basically the same business situation you are. I would transfer the copyright of the final design for all the stationery pieces to the client upon final payment. Any unused comps, however, remain your copyright.

Robert Dixon, Bob Dixon Consulting ServicesFrequently Asked Questions About Business Card DesignWhat is the purpose of a business card?Fundamentally, a business card is used to easily share contact information with someone. When meeting with a potential customer, partner, or investor, you can leave a business card for that person to use in a follow-up call or email.
Having a card is much more efficient than simply writing your name, number, and company info. It also promotes your brand and creates a better connection between your target audience and your business.
In most cases, yes. Business cards aid in brand recognition, displaying your businesses purpose (call-to-action), and sharing contact information. But more than that they provide one of the only personal aspects left in the modern marketing world.
A business card should clearly show all the necessary information such as your name, your company, your contact information, etc. Here are the elements that should never be included in your business card design: typos or misprints, hard-to-read or small print, visual clutter or information overload, poor quality paper, no call-to-action or value proposition, outdated information.
Business cards typically contain the name, company, and contact information (address, telephone number, email, fax, website). The layout on custom designed business cards can vary and business card size varies too. Sizes vary also for different types. Corporate business cards might differ from minimalist business cards.
Keep in mind that while previously, business cards were printed solely on matte, coated or uncoated paper, many more options are available today. Apart from paper, business cards can be made from plastic, specially frosted translucent plastic, crystal clear plastic, white or metallic plastic, metal, rubberized materials, magnets, and real wood. This gives custom business cards a unique texture not found on paper stock. And while most business cards are rectangular in size, you can get yours with rounded corners, and in abstract shapes.
Yes. As we discussed above, uniformity of message is very important in business card design, and you should strive for a similar uniformity when it comes to the design of your website or email newsletter, or your blog. This includes using identical or complementary colors, fonts, and overall typography to those used in your brand identity. If your existing business cards don't match your brand, consider new business cards and a fresh graphic design for those cards. And remember to get matching letterhead.
Usually, the paper type depends on the design. Also, most designers will suggest what the best paper is for your specific design. The most common paper types for business cards are: 14-point cardstock (thick), 16-point cardstock (thicker), and 100 lb. gloss cover (thin).

Just like a logo, business cards act as multi-purpose marketing tools, and should be able to:
- Strengthen the legitimacy of the business
Develop human connections, resources, and relationships
Build brand awareness and a great first impression
Improve exposure
Business cards are small (about the size of a credit card) and usually made of a thick paper. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes and typically contain your business details such as: your business name, your name, your position, your contact info, your company logo, and your slogan or call-to-action.
If properly designed, high quality business cards are impactful, memorable, and evoke emotions, especially during that important first impression. Business cards should be distinguishable from competition and give a face for your brand. They serve as stepping stones for potential customers or investors to take the next step with your company.

Business card makers and generic templates will not leave a lasting impression on your audience and will not give you a one-of-a-kind, professionally designed brand identity. Even if you can customize generic templates, you will get an uninspiring, non-professional, generic design.
