Basic requirements of business card design

As an independent media of a person and a profession, business cards should pay attention to artistry in design. But it is obviously different from works of art. Unlike other works of art, it has high aesthetic value, which can be appreciated and pondered. In most cases, it will not attract people's attention and pursuit, but it is easy to remember and more recognizable, so that people can get the information they need in the shortest time. Therefore, the design of business cards must be concise, with distinctive fonts, emphasizing design awareness and novel artistic style.

The basic requirements of business card design should emphasize three words: simplicity, desirability and conciseness.

1, Jane: The main information conveyed by business cards should be concise and clear, and the composition should be complete and clear.

(2) Understand the nature and function of the business card holder's unit and its unit.

(3) Understand the business scope of business card holders and units.

2. Unique concept

Whether (1) has visual impact and identifiability.

According to the understanding of the first three aspects, determine the design concept, composition, font, color and so on.

Third, the constituent elements:

In the design of business cards, there are indispensable elements. The so-called constituent elements refer to all kinds of materials that make up a business card, generally referring to signs, patterns and copywriting (name, mailing address and communication mode of the business card holder). These materials are endowed with different missions and functions, which are collectively called constituent elements.

There are two types of constituent elements:

1, which belongs to the elements of modeling.

Fourth, the design of business cards:

In the design of business cards, the design of patterns is an important link. The success of pattern design directly affects the visual effect of business cards and people's psychological feelings towards business card holders and their units. Patterns have a fixed function in business cards.

1. These functions are classified as follows:

(1) attracts attention. A good business card pattern design should not only meet the needs of picture composition, but also attract people's attention strongly, so as to achieve the purpose of self-promotion by the holder.

(3) Guide readers to pay attention to the induced effects of important schemes.

2, the composition of the pattern

Gradient of (1) mode

The application of monochrome gradient in business card design can not only maintain the integrity of the design, but also enhance the visual impact.

Mixed color gradient has more than one or two color gradients, and the effect of this picture is more active, but attention should be paid to the contrast of color force and the proportional distribution of composition when applying.

The image gradient takes the logo of the business card, the name of the factory or the products sold, and carries out light color weakening, color gradient and size gradient on the screen to form a richer visual effect.

(2) "Contrast and unification" of patterns.

The role of the pattern in the business card is to set off the theme, enrich the picture and remind readers. Therefore, the design of patterns should not only pay attention to contrast, but also be complete and unified. Contrast mainly refers to the obvious difference between the pattern of the picture and the background of the picture. Unity means that the level of painting should be clear, and the pattern exists to highlight the theme, make the composition eye-catching and full of personality, without usurping the role of the master.

The image photography method carries out various artistic treatments on the image photography pictures related to the business card holder's industry, forming a figurative artistic pattern.

Painting texture method is an abstract pattern, which mainly shows the texture effect of various paintings and gives business cards a strong artistic personality. Such as: oil painting texture, scraper texture, sketch texture, sketch texture, watercolor texture, Chinese painting texture and so on.
