While creating your business card design,
use these tips :-
 Make the document page size equal to the card size plus the bleed area,
or 3.75" wide x 2.25" high, to be trimmed down to the finished size after
printing.
 If you aren't planning to include bleeds, the bleed area isn't necessary, so
set the document size to the finished size, 3.5 x 2 inches.
 If you're designing a vertical card with the long size up, simply switch the
page width and height so you won't have to rotate the card to see the
design the way you intend it.
Make the Right Impression :-
 The main choice a prospect makes is about you. Does your business
card look and feel proficient and pass on the right picture?

computerization ideas and printing decisions.

maximum of 3-4 colors.
 Pull colors from your logo for other background elements and type colors.
 Do match color tones.
 If you have bright colors in your image or logo, use black or other bright colors that work
with it. If your colors are muted, earthy or pastel, stick to that scheme with the other
colors.

 A more traditional professional services or real estate business card
 Do strive for contrast and balance.
 Do use bleeds to extend colored backgrounds or images to look like they're "bleeding"
off the edge of the card for a professional look.

 Go with gloss to make photographs look wonderful. Select a dull or matte
completion for smooth, non-gleaming business card printing that is anything
but difficult to compose on.
