As an architect, your portfolio is your ticket to the next big contract or project and your business card will showcase your expertise. Design your cards in a way that will immediately earn you respect and interest potential clients enough to warrant a meeting or a phone inquiry. Here are some ideas on how best you can design your
business cards. Design Tips for an Architect's Business Card
Experiment with layouts that will make your logo and card color stand out. Many architects use the vertical layout and have a building clip art on one side. This style is somewhat expected. Try other layouts that will differentiate your card from the others. Make it interesting by adding colors that are striking and attractive. A good layout is one that can tastefully accommodate the images and text on a small space but still maintain visual symmetry.
Put all relevant contact information on your business card. In this digital age, it is no longer enough that you put your mobile and home phone numbers on the card. Aside from the basic address and phone numbers, you should also put your email address, website and even social media account names so that prospective customers can search for you online. Acceptable social media accounts include Facebook, Yahoo Messenger, or even Twitter.
Sport your business card in high quality card stock. Depending on the design that you chose, your business card should be nice to look at as much as it is to hold. UPrinting is an online business card printing service provider that lets you choose between glossy business cards or matte. 14 pt. card stock is good because it does not bend easily. Always have some cards on hand wherever you go.
Show people that are a professional by including association memberships and accomplished projects in a small bulleted list. Achievements need to be known because it helps build your reputation as an architect. Do not be coy in adding this information at the back of your business card.
