Business cards are said to be effective when they create a sense of wow in the minds of people with whom you share them. Minimalist or clean design business cards are a hot trend among everyone. Clean looking cards are brought into reality by incorporating light typography, using simple paper textures, having stark opposite colors on both the sides, keeping the edges free of text and logo.

Clean business cards boast of simple embossing effects conveying the profession of the person, cutting down on text, using white as the background with color only along the card sides. Imaginative and Organized!

First impressions play a crucial role in professional interactions. Black business cards will always be a crowd favorite as they symbolize class, elegance and style. It immediately creates an aura of power, intelligence and stability. For easy readability white text looks most appropriate on black business cards. 

Elements of fun can be added through gold and silver foiling and embossing options both in gloss as well as matte textures. Black suede business cards are huge rage as well. Whether it’s jet black or charcoal black, the color makes your business card bold, distinct and timeless.

Any sport fisherman (or woman) knows there’s an art to angling. We wanted to capture the beauty of the sport and the great outdoors with this business card design. To do that, we chose an illustration with bright blue and green colors. It shows rolling hills on one side of a river, with a sandy bank and pine forest on the other side. A person drifts downstream in a canoe, silhouetted against the blue river.

To bring the brand’s identity into the image, we opted to place large white lowercase initials in its center. The initials are the same color as the card’s background and the clouds in the image, so they blend into the illustration rather than distracting from it. The brand’s full name runs along the bottom to tie the design together.

People often think eco-friendly business cards aren’t as versatile, so we wanted this design to prove them wrong. We selected a recycled stock and labeled it to let recipients know they’re making a green choice with this card. Then we added letterpress printing—one of the biggest trends right now—and red ink to infuse a touch of modern style into the design.

Rather than use extra ink, we left blank lines for cardholders to write in their contact info. This lets them keep it up-to-date, so old cards never get thrown away just because a phone number or social profile changed. Perforated lines also let cardholders tear each card into three sections, allowing them to reach out to three contacts with just one business card.

Rather than going overboard with bright CMYK colors, we decided to keep this business card for InkGeek simple and classic. We chose a bold sans serif font to add visual interest to the white panels. Then we centered a large version of the InkGeek logo on the front side of the card to make a powerful branded statement as soon as it’s distributed.

On the back, we opted to emphasize the brand’s geeky side—we used black bars behind white text to make the contact info look like lines of computer code. We also arranged it so the longest lines appear at the top, creating a downward-pointing triangle that leads recipients to the URL at the bottom.

We wanted to do more for Billboards Advertising than just put some contact info on a business card, so we came up with this cool idea for a miniature billboard. Its background is printed to look like a brick wall, so the logo looks like it’s painted on the side of a building. We also paired a blocky display font and a scribbly script for the brand’s name to give it a sort of cool, graffiti vibe.

We also wanted to showcase the power of outdoor advertising, so we went with a plastic card. This way, the design conveys the idea that billboards are durable and weatherproofed to stand the rigors of being in the elements 24/7.
