How to make this design:

FRONT:
Start from http://www.goodprint.co.uk/business-card-designer.php?id=219863

In this design, I chose Gill as it’s a neat, modern typeface and the symbols are nice and clear. Choose some letters or symbols to make your logo or monogram out of (in this case I chose the curly brackets) and enter them in the very first tiny box.

Choose your colours. The primary text colour actually changes the colour of the box and the first line below it. Experiment until you are happy.

Enter your company name in the next two tiny boxes (there’s no letter limit).
TIP: If the words are too long for the line, this design shrinks the letters to fit. I made the ‘THE’ smaller than the other lines by adding lots of spaces either side of it to make it shrink.

Add the rest of your details as you wish, leaving the address and phones for the back.

BACK:
Choose the portrait back layout which just has text ranged left. If necessary, change the colour of the background to match the front.

Enter all of your address and phone details in one block in the first 3 text fields with about 20 line returns in front to move the text block to the bottom of the page. Choose the smallest type size. The colour and the font should already match the front, but if it doesn’t, change it so that it does. I also made the phone field bold so that it was easier to find on the card.

These beautifully designed cards are the work of Phil Johns at PJ Studio. Clearly designed by someone with an eye for colour, this design is certainly modern, crisp and sleek. Added round corners compliment the design perfectly and appear to flow with Phil’s brilliant logo.

A few words from Phil;

“These business cards were designed to go with the new branding for PJ Studio. Various elements of the design were taken from the website keeping the brand consistent. Printed by Goodprint on 400gsm double sided card, double matt laminated with two die-cut rounded corners to really set off the design.”

Ben
Ben works in Domestic Electrical Services, so we love how he’s composed his photograph. We’re fond of the crisp ‘Element’ logo and think it works nicely with the small amount of text included. Simple yet effective!

Here’s a few words from Ben himself;

“Impressions and quality make a huge impact on people’s opinions. My business card is the first impression that my potential customers get, I believe it says a great deal about a business and the quality of service they offer. I tried to use a clean cut, professional and ‘to the point’ design for my cards, many people have commented on the standard and quality of the print, the reason why I always re-order with goodprint.”

Barry Furby of Fresh Resources submitted this rather lovely photo of his cards. We love the bright colours and simplicity of the design, and as you’d expect from a socially media savvy kinda guy, the display of his twitter and linked in profiles.

Here’s what Barry has to say:

 

“We’re a recruitment business in the Social Media and Digital Marketing space, so we wanted a business card that was memorable in quality and design. It’s key to the way we work that our relationships are consolidated both online and offline, so our design highlights the areas that we specialise and how to communicate with us – Twitter, LinkedIn and email are key. I hope you ‘like’.”

Thana
Thana Thammavongsa has sent us this stunningly composed image of her ‘Whoosh’ cards in situ’ and we love every aspect of them! From the Elephant logo to the lovely bright background, these cards ooze style, and attaching them to the chopsticks is something we’ve certainly never seen before, so top marks for creativity Thana!

Here’s Thana’s take on her cards;

“I wanted to create a card that would reflect my Thai catering business: simple, fresh, professional, young and modern. The aim was also to make a lasting impression and get people to recognise my brand from looking at the front of the card with the oriental orange background. Initially went for square corners and recently ordered new batches with 2 rounded corners to add a bit more of a smooth and cool effect. The quality of the card and print along with the design I chose make the perfect business cards for me.”
