About This Piece

3.5 inches by 2 inches. That’s all the real estate you get.

The Tiny Canvas

Designing a visiting card is an exercise in minimalism.

  • The Bleed: You realize quickly that "centering" text on a screen doesn't mean it's centered on paper. You have to account for the blade's error margin.
  • The Template: I built this template to be "break-proof." Users can swap the logo and name without destroying the alignment.

It’s small, but it’s the most important piece of paper you’ll hand out.
