A person’s business card can be considered one of the most important marketing tools that he has. With it, you are giving you contact information to potential clients or existing customers to make them loyal. In order for the business card to do its desired job, it must be professional, attractive and memorable.

Placing your website and email is a must. People will be searching for a website where to look for more information about you and your business and also for an email if they want to contact you.

When I’m in need of some design inspiration, one of my favorite things to do is look through creative album artwork. Most design work has to fit a particular brief – client work, for example, always has to match a brand identity, and web design needs to be suited for the screen – but album artwork has no constraints. It’s also completely subjective and personal – you could ask 1,000 designers to create a cover for a particular album, and you’d get 1,000 unique, completely different designs back. Album artwork is often so creative and different to most other design work that it can be refreshing and inspiring.

What is Flat Design? As Sabina Idler at Usabilla puts it, “flat design is a two dimensional design for a two dimensional screen.” Flat Design is an ongoing trend sweeping the design community. Well-known companies like Mashable, TheNextWeb, and Microsoft are already utilizing this design aesthetic.
Similar to Microsoft’s Windows 8 Metro UI, flat design shakes off unappealing drop shadows, inset shadows, gradients, subtle textures, and heavy bevels. It takes a fundamentally minimalistic approach by only using bare necessities like clean layouts, solid colors, and sharp typography. Holding hands with responsive web design, flat UI design is suited for mobile interfaces and is easier to code.
