I designed my business cards in fact many of the business cards for the other businesses in my building too (as shown) along with their logos. I chose a very very heavy cardstock of 30 pounds or more to create a strong textural feel and heft when picking up my card. I chose a matte white background and my favorite sans serif fonts. I placed on one side my name in bold black with my board certifications and fellowship status in metallic bronze. The contact information is on the other side with the logo in bronze, and text in black. I like this splitting of the business card into two sides. It allows me plenty of room for my contact information while making the front side of the card much cleaner. As you may know, I love using metals in many of my paintings. I have done so for my business cards because they create an understated elegance and a dash of color without being obtrusive or gaudy.
