I found this article particularly helpful and interesting. Having remade my business card 3 times, I still am not happy with it. Currently I am redoing my website and will soon redo my business cards as well.
My main two issues, which were also included in the article, are the fact that we have to rely on technology and printer quality for peak design. The other factor is that it is very hard to put the values of an entire person or an entire company into a business card. As an artist it is hard to find the balance between showing your work and more importantly showing your information clearly. Text itself is a very computerized process these days and many times takes away from the look of your card. For a person who enjoys to do many things the question becomes should I have a dead that advertises me or a separate card that advertises the jobs I do. I thought that it was truly genius what Google did. Their employees cards have the Google logo and the google search bar that contains their name. It so clearly defines their companies service while also advertising their company and its familiar format.
I will keep these tips in mind as I attempt to create a business card that fits me.
I thought this article was extremely useful, especially in conjunction with some of the other articles we have read about business cards on the green page. More often then not, companies go for the spectacle when it comes to business cards and completely forgo substance, this has become even more common as things like 3-D printing and other technology now offer even greater options in design. I thought it was an amazing choice to have the first and second tips be to focus on the purpose of the card and to separate personal taste from your professional business, as these are the most common mistakes when it comes to creating business cards. I was actually surprised by the second tip, because that wasn’t how I was interpreting that particular flaw in business card production, but when you think about it making the choice between personal style and professional relevance is a huge problem in design over all.
