Creative Professional Practice - Business Cards Research

Business Cards Research

I found this photography business card as an example. I saw the use of text with headings in their specialists area. I thought this is a good idea. It saves time for any potential clients, for example, if a client picks up your business cards and they are looking for a photographer in one of your key areas, then there is more of a chance of you getting the job. All they have to do is take a look at your portfolio and if they like it then you will get the job. On my last business cards, I did't think of this idea, and when I upgrade and edit my business cards, I will use extra text to inform people my specialist areas. 

What Should Go On A Business Card?

I wanted to make sure I have all the correct information on my business card and to make sure I don't forget any vital bits and pieces that can make my card even better. From researching I found that:

1. Identification and Contact Information

• Name and business name (if you have one)
• Basic contact information such as an email address or phone number
• Something that tells people what you do – designer, photographer, web developer etc.
• Website URL to showcase your work

2. An Image That Shows What You Do

3. Plenty of White Space - Cramming loads of images or text on the front or back will look to messy and unprofessional.
