There are a number of posts out there with collections of really cool and unique business card designs. Some of my favorites are CreativeBits, CrazyLeaf Design Blog, and Daily Poetics. While these cards are definitely unique and fun to look at, many of them are not realistic for use as everyday cards in terms of production costs. Not to mention some of them would be very difficult to carry around in your pocket or wallet.
Affordable ways to make your business card pop. (and some business card design tips, too!).
Many people, designers included, think that typography consists of only selecting a typeface, choosing a font size and whether it should be regular or bold. For most people it ends there. But there is much more to achieving good typography and it’s in the details that designers often neglect.
These details give the designer total control, allowing them to create beautiful and consistent typography in their designs. While these details can be applied across different types of media, in this articles we’re going to focus on how to apply them to web design using CSS. Here are 8 simple ways you can use CSS to improve your typography and hence the overall usability of your designs.

Cool tip from Jeff Witchel, Adobe Certified Trainer
I love it when one of my students comes up with a tip because it means I'm doing my job as a teacher. In a training session the other day, we were discussing the Align panel and how to distribute objects. One student raised her hand and asked, “Can the Align panel be used to Distribute Ruler Guides?” I answered, “I'm sure it can, but I never thought about trying it.” “Let's give it a try,” I told the class. “Turn on your Rulers (Command+R [Control+R on PC]) if they're not already showing, and also Unlock Guides if they're Locked (View>Guides>Lock Guides to uncheck). Now click on the vertical Ruler and drag off five or six Guides. To select these Guides, click and drag across them with the Selection tool (V). Make sure the Spacing amount in the Distribute section of the Align panel is set to Auto, and then press the Distribute Horizontal Space button. All Guides are now distributed evenly across the page. Very cool! You can re-lock the Guides, if you'd like, under the View menu.
