Before&After: Design a Card the Easy Way

Set your words in a block of ordinary type—not fancy type—and place it in the upper-left corner. Place and crop your photo all the way to the edges. Color the type white, and you’re done. No artificial graphics, no distracting layouts. This 13-page article from issue 49 of Before&After Magazine poses the question: When this photographer’s images are rich, well composed, and pleasing, just what she’d want the world to see, why would she need a logo to convey her work?.

This design approach to a business card quietly places your work, literally, into the client’s hand, simply, clearly, beautifully.
