# Business cards

## Read first
Card.md for the name, the role, the company, the details, the look and the paper; the logo wired in.

## Artwork (16:9, both sides)
- Each side is the card itself, filling the whole picture edge to edge, flat and straight on: no table, shadow, perspective or mockup.
- Everything at least 6% in from every edge, where the card is trimmed.
- Front, the brand side: the logo or the company's name with lots of space around it, and at most one short line (the tagline).
- Back, the person: their name largest, the role under it, then the details in Card.md's order, aligned to one edge on a clear grid.
- Every word, number and address exactly as Card.md spells it, letter for letter. A detail Card.md marks as none is left off; nothing is added: no placeholder text, icons with made-up details, or QR code unless Card.md asks.
- Set at real card size: the details at about 7–8 pt and the name at about 11 pt (small next to the card, with wide margins), one typeface family in a light or book weight, and a hairline rule or a fine detail that gives it craft.
- A considered grid, not a stacked list: the name and role in one block, the details in another, aligned to a margin, with plenty of air.
- The look from Card.md: one or two colours on the paper's colour, and at most one finish (a foil, a spot colour, letterpress) on the front.
- With a logo wired in, use it exactly, never redrawn. Without one, set the company's name in clean type; never invent a symbol.

## Printed cards (4:3)
The two wired sides as real printed cards on the surface Card.md names, in soft daylight: one showing the front and one the back, slightly overlapping, the paper's thickness and texture visible, the type sharp and exactly as designed.

## Avoid
Misspelled names or details, text near the trimmed edge, more than two typefaces, clip-art, gradients that won't print, made-up details, and two sides that look like different brands.
