Nielsen Norman Group produced a useful guide

Business Cards:

specs: 3.5″ X 2″ | CMYK | export as a png and upload to your Openlab site.

Step 1: Find a business card on line that you like.

Step 2: Copy it. You may use different information.

Step 3: Finally, incorporating what you learned from making the copy, design a second card that incorporates Visual hierarchy and one other design principle.

Step 4: Export both the copy and the final version and upload to your Google folder.

Here is here is a brief tutorial I just made about TYPE. I wanted you to have this as a reference as you design your business cards.
