thereby this is grafted sarah blake
Overberg like that com helping you create something awesome today
says they were gonna talk about how you create a business card How to Design a Business Card !!! and bring his biz I've talked about why business cards are still very important
for marketing and branding yourself but today we're going to end up into how you
actually designed
affected business card I will be doing in Adobe InDesign and Adobe Illustrator
tutorial
on the actual making a business cards but this coming more
about the general idea in principle behind what a good business card
best online print its in the case of my business cards I did a two sided design
some people use one design on both sides the business card
I decide to create more emphasis on
the contact information on this side and keep designed very plain
versus on the other side I was much more are robust in terms of how much my work
I want to show
and I still have the contact information by I put the context what I have the
offer
as the priority and that's what I do
with these cards you think about what the relationship you want to build
is going to be with the person you're handing business card to
in my case I want people to contract my services as a graphic designer
so I handle business card that is usually what we're talking about
and the context that the situation there as a result
I like to hand them this side the business cards they can see some the
work that I can create
and the interesting design have my card and on the back
it's much easier for them to read the contact information
so that's why designed my business card that way
their changes I'm probably gonna make going towards my business cards just
because
the nature up the tab for relationships on building is shifting from
a focus on just graphic design to overall
brand development and marketing consulting with
graphic design kinda being the entry into that relationship
so there's another direction and that the take all my visual branding
wetherbee my
business cards my per fully all that I want to be consistent
and that the merely think about how I want to present myself going forward
and that's what you need to do when you design a business card need to think
about
how you present yourself their work
times where you would go to you an event
or to you a meeting in the suit there are other times when you can be more
casual or words more prepared to represent your brand
and we're young March need to think about what your business card is saying
about you
was communicating about you and the value that you have offer
and you really need to make that focal point how your design
understand that because you have a small service area to work with on your
business card
that the information you want to communicate is what you need to
prioritize
in terms as your contact information maybe it's your phone number
your website address in your email address but also
what do you have to offer don't be tempted to put along with your services
are business card they can find information on your website
where they can get that information from the conversation that they're having
with you
you don't need overwhelm them with text on your business cards
you keep is simple and straightforward and concise
as you possibly can there are different approaches and design styles for
business cards
and you can get fancy with that there are also other sizes like us to do in
the samples
that I got from some various printers but ultimately
business cards are there to not only convey information that's the main thing
a lot people bully business cards are dead because you could swap those
details I smartphone
but handing someone a business card and
the tangible nature of this business cards the fact that you handed to them
they can jim there's that they have one they say thank you when you hand them a
business card
there's a value to that experience and you
being able to give some I'll leave behind so don't underestimate that
in the agent digital this still has a role to play
when your business cards done you have to consider we're not she's in terms our
printer
also what type of card stock you want and how many
you want to print at a time is really important I usually don't like to do
small orders that local print shops would be more comfortable with also my
design
arm can be a little much for local printers so that's why use
online printers primarily if you are supporting local small businesses
I definitely respect and appreciate that understand that you want to really get a
lot of
is out love your business cards that in terms of the
are oh I return on investment need for the large amount business cards which
indeed giving away
probably no less than a hundred 200 business cards and weak
anti-personnel goes the conventions on a regular basis
maybe three or four times a year they need to have a large order run
me
to
business cards
that's what I had done so that I could go and I could
giveaway business cards to my heart's content and not worry about running out
so that is why would definitely recommend their Sep
to recap yet to think about the context the relationship and what you're
communicating
your business cards makes you have a great design that focuses on that
context and prioritize the information you want them to pay attention to you
that you get another business cards to build a handout to get the level a
business that you need to be successful
and you really just need to make sure that the business card
accurately represents you and your brand
away that you can stand in the gap for you not being there to explain it
or to do salesmanship your business card knees be able to do that
on its own without you there anyway I hope you guys enjoy this video if you
