Adding Graphics to Visiting Card

Adding Graphics or the logo in the card need special attention as it can take the card to new height or it can even ruin the effect. When you use graphics, if it include more colors, you may need to think of changing font color also.

Type of graphics
You can use single color logo or the picture, line art with flat colors or even a photograph. Just make sure that the picture is clear with no crooked edges and it should be sharp without blur.

While adding the picture in the card we need to consider lot of things. The size does matter here. We need to fix the size first. This depends upon what preference you give to the graphics and the name of the company. Once you decide this the next decision is to find the appropriate place to place the graphics.
