Bad Business Cards
filed in Design: Graphic Design on Aug.21, 2007
I posted in early July about The Art of the Business Card. Seth Godin posted today about contemporary business card design. He has a short list of common mistakes made when designing business cards (i.e. using Avery cutout sheets, making your type size too large, etc..)
I personally think he hits the nail right on the head when he writes, “I think the point of your card should not be to demonstrate that you are creative. The point should be to demonstrate that you have good taste.”
There’s certainly no lack of creativity out there, but I’m afraid that too many business cards do, in fact, lack good taste.

My ad in the newspaper ends with “Fixing Ugly Business Cards since 1997”. 🙂
