Hi everyone,

Sorry for delay but here is a brief tutorial I just made about TYPE. I’ll be going over some of these things again but I wanted you to have this as you design your business cards. Please keep the principles below in mind and start with a thumbnail. If you feel stuck it’s always helpful to find some examples you like online and try to emulate them.

Visual-design principles inform us how design elements such as line, shape, color, grid, or space go together to create well-rounded and thoughtful visuals.

  1. Scale
  2. Visual hierarchy
  3. Balance
  4. Contrast
  5. Gestalt
