There are always cases where someone doesn't know exactly what your profession is, especially when you're a graphic designer, but by having your services listed you cut out some questions some people may feel afraid to ask. I call these cards informative or resourceful because it includes what they do on the back or side of the card. "Read All About It!" Informative Business Cards I love the texture of cards that have impressions in them. The bottom has a unique ridged quality paper has a similar effect to letterpress cards and that's why I included it in this group. These cards are neat because the words are impressed. You can never go wrong with a unique sized business card paired with a great design!

Though the cards may be small, their designs speak a bold statement. This group consists of mini cards, square business cards, and other specialty sizes. "Different Shapes, Different Sizes" Custom Cut Business Cards Either way they are all unique examples of business cards! Each card had its own cut some just have a little shaved off the edges and some are more rounded than others. There were several business cards in the bunch that had rounded corners (including mine, in the middle). Rounded corners are another neat way to make your card stand out. "Cool, Not Square" Rounded Corner Business Cards Each has a design that expresses the individual company but also has a classic and clean polished look. These cards have a classic and/or regal style. (If you think they look good in these pictures, just imagine what they look like in person!) These cards were a little hard to capture with the camera but I did my best because I didn't want you to miss these. I love Spot UV business cards! These designers used Spot UV to create patterns and text. "Sleek and Chic" Glossy and Spot UV Business Cards Their business cards look friendly, welcoming, and personable. As far as these graphic designers are concerned, I think they made a good choice. I feel that it ultimately depends on what type of industry your in. Many people ask me whether it is okay to have their picture on their business card.

They are straight to the point and have a clear message. I categorized these business cards as minimalist because of their clean and open look. "Clean and Crisp" Minimalist Business Cards Cards like these, are great for businesses that have a firm brand and like to make their business name prominent. The logo is prominent on the backside and stands out with a bold color. I like the bold statement these business cards give.

"Large and In Charge" Enlarged Logo Business Cards If you are looking for an affordable way to make your card stand out, vertical cards are the way to go.

These vertical cards stuck out of the bunch because they are oriented differently. "Standing Tall and Sticking Out" Vertical Business Cards This photo just gives you a little glimpse into how they look, but in real life they look even better. Sometimes they can even trick the eye at first glance into thinking the effect on the paper is real. Textured graphics makes business cards look three dimensional and interesting. I liked how these cards incorporated detailed textures into their designs. "Tricky" Textured Examples of Business Cards By the way, if you are on Twitter, you can find a list I created of the participants here. Take a look below at the examples of business cards exchanged. I tried to place each card into the category I felt they best described. I do want to note that even though I have grouped these cards into different categories, that doesn't mean that they don't fit into others. The exchange was between graphic designers like myself, who wanted to network with others, swap cards for the fun of it, or see cool examples of business cards from other designers.įor whatever reason each designer participated, I think all of us truly enjoyed the experience.Ĭheck out the ways I have grouped the cards into different categories below. About the Business Cards Featuredīack around March 2010, I signed up to participate in a cool Business Card Exchange initiated by Meredith Marsh. These are graphic designers' business cards. On other pages of this site, I have shown other examples of business cards but this group is special.
