So, I decided to put together my own business card design from scratch. But isn’t who you are much more than your job? (Maybe what I’m thinking of is more of a “personal card” than a “business card”.)

They include your title, company, name and contact info. Plus, I think that most business cards give only an extremely limited understanding of who the card-holder is. Even a hip business card seller like moo has a fairly limited selection of standard, rather drab-looking business cards. I wasn’t very satisifed with the existing options out there. I have added the Linear Fix logo and downloaded a icon set from OpenClipArt to serve as the mail, phone, address icons and made some finishing resizing of text.I wanted to write a quick post about creating my own business cards, which I did a few weeks ago. To add an image just drag and drop an image from a folder or use File>Import. Notice how all the text is not aligned if you have created the text boxes separately, select all the text boxes use Align and Distribute (Ctrl+Shift+A/ Object menu) and select a option to align your text.ĥ. I have used Prociono, a free font from The League of Moveable Type this font was also chosen as of our favorite ‘classic’ typefaces.Ĥ. Now it is time for some text use the text tool (F8) by clicking on the icon of the ‘A’.

I have selected a red color and turned off the transparency, this will be my solid color of the business card.ģ. Change your background color by editing the document properties (Shift+Ctrl+D/ File menu) and clicking background. 90x50mm is also available directly below the first option.Ģ. Click on File>New>business_card_85x54mm to get the inbuilt blank template for creating a business card. Today we will be using Inkscape, a free vector image editor, to create a business card.ġ.
