Business Card Design

Many times I have seen a notice-board in a busy shopping centre covered in business cards. It is almost impossible to be drawn to any of them as they cover each other and seem to jostle for the viewers' attention. Every now and again one card stands out from the crowd. This is normally the one that is different in some way - bright colour, unusual shape, stand-out printing or in 3-D.

What about the business card that is stuffed into a prospective client's pocket or wallet? How can your business card stand out from the crowd?

Your business card is your silent salesman. In a world where information is readily available on a computer or cell-phone, what is going to make a person remember your business card so that they refer to it when they need information for a product or service your business offers?

Take a look at this collection of 574 interesting business cards for some inspiration.
