MY NEW BUSINESS CARDS




Sooner or later, anyone who is involved with business, education, civic or religious organization needs business cards. When you do get new cards please keep folks with low vision in mind.

Recently I was preparing for a major presentation to a potential new client. I decided to get new business cards. My old business card (shown on the left) is like many others in common use – nice graphics and all of the key contact information. Unfortunately I can’t read the itty-bitty type.

I decided that I should be able to read the info on my new business cards.  The cards should be created with low vision readers in mind. I like business cards that have a bold typeface (I use Trebuchet) and maximum contrast. My new business card is shown on the right.

White letters on a black background make the info on my new card easy to read. This layout also signals confidence and elegance. I designed it myself and Vistaprint [link] printed them.  The total cost was around $25.00.

Here is an expanded view of my new business card:
