  • Business cards must include similar colors as your logo
  • Keep all text and graphic away from the edge of the card (known as a "gutter" or "margin")

  • Use a clipping mask to remove any overlaping from the edge
  • Your Business Card must be saved as a PDF (Portable Document Format) file. Cards that are not saved as PDF will not be considered submitted and therefore will not be graded.

    • Your address
    • Your phone number
