Design your business cards in QuarkXPress

This article will help you design business cards in QuarkXPress. This is a very useful tool to create the best business card designs. QuarkXPress provides many tools for creating and designing attractive cards. To design a new business card, open a new document and draw some frames the exact size of the card you need. The most common and standard size for a business card is 4.25 wide by 2.25 high.

The first step to do is to find a logo for the card. If you’ve outsourced logo creation and haven’t received it yet, please use a sample image of the clip art. To add the image on the card, draw a picture box on the frame and check out or import the image.

The next step is to enter your name and contact information. So, draw a text box on the frame and enter your information such as name, designation, company name, contact number, fax number, website, and email address. After entering the information, make changes to the name, especially its size, font, and color to make it stand out from the rest. Similarly, work on the designation with preferred fonts.

You can create separate text boxes for contact numbers and email address. It is not required, but another option that is available. Having them in separate text boxes will help to accurately modify the information.

If you need any other information on the card, create a new text box and place them. Most people will prefer to add a slogan or caption for the business to the card. Once you’re done working with the card information, create duplicates on the printable page. Measure the size of the card and make the appropriate duplicates that will fit on the card stock. Print the designs on the business card paper.
