Ten Ways to Make Your Business Card Easy to Read

  • Arrange elements to follow the natural flow of the eye
  • Convey a theme, unifying concept, or coherent image
  • Select elements that fit and work together
  • Avoid too many typestyles or capital letters
  • Use type that is large enough to be read easily
  • Create a clear and interesting graphic image
  • Avoid being too crowded or too busy; it’s confusing
  • Provide plenty of white spac
  • Cluster the parts into blocks of information, so you frame
    them with the white space
