Steps to Creating Your Business Card in CorelDRAW

Step 1 : Basic Elements

In this tutorial, I used CorelDraw X3 but you can use a lower or higher version depending on what you have installed. The following basic elements were used to create our design:

Step 2 : Creating Worksheet

Open your CorelDraw program, create a new file and set the paper size to A4. Change converse orientation to landscape.

Step 3 : Creating Front Card

Click the "Rectangle Tool ", you can find it on the toolbar by the left. Make a box shape and then re-scale to 3.5''x 2", which is standard size for Business Card.

Create a white-space within the rectangle by creating a smaller invisible rectangle. 

Insert your logo and type your contact details using the text tool(Letter A on the tool bar); well positioned. Use  font sizes that are legible enough to be easily readable without using a magnifying glass. Ensure the type color stands out against the background of the card. Remember, your goal is to produce a business card that clearly communicates what you do and how to reach you. If recipients can't read the contact information you'll lose sales and the entire for of the card will be defeated.

Step 4 : Creating Back Card

The back side of the card takes the colour of the logo while the logo itself is in white, centrally positioned.
