1. Do’s and Don’ts of Business Card Design
GSA Professional Development

2. Don’ts Scrimp on paper quality! Good feel = good impression
Use a border around the edge of the card
Cards are never cut 100% perfectly, so it will show any misalignment in the printing
Use a background design or color palette that’s unreadable
People won’t work to read your card; make it easy for them!
Make your text tiny (best range is pt)
Because it’s so important, I’m saying it on both slides…don’t print without proofreading!
s are the worst offender here; your spell check won’t see that you have two periods in “gmail..com” or that you’ve transposed two letters in the handle, but people won’t be able to contact you
Don’ts

3. Contact info (obvious, but double check!)
Add a personal/professional as well as CUA
Make sure your voic message is work-appropriate
Spell-check!!!!
Make sure the text is large enough
Make sure your design doesn’t run over the printable space on the card (most sites have a dotted line or something to delineate)
Make a QR code, especially if you’re in a business or tech- forward field
Use appropriate colors (CUA colors or, if you have your own brand/business, match with that)
