What is a Business Card?
According to National Encyclopedia, business card is:
“a small card made of thin carton with the owner’s name and, usually, address.”
Well, business cards today also contains contact information such as: Telephone, fax, mobile numbers, and email. Others also put their websites and services/products as well.
Here’s an example of a basic business card layout:

In my opinion, the more simple, professional and formal your card, the better – unless of course you are a designer, your card should be artistic.
It is also better to not overload your card with information. Basic information will do. Too much information will make your card look unorganized and will be difficult to read. Others even put advertisements on it, which is good if it doesn’t mess up your card.
Use contrasting font colors and be sure that the font size is reader friendly.
