Question
What is card design etiquette and why does it matter?
Answer
Card design etiquette is the set of best practices for layout, typography, spacing, and paper choice that make a card feel intentional rather than thrown together. It matters because a card is a first impression you hand to someone.
- A considered card gets kept, referenced, and acted on.
- A cluttered or cheap one gets tossed within seconds.
- The design speaks before your words do, signaling how you handle detail.
- Good etiquette covers hierarchy, whitespace, readable type, and a stock that feels right in the hand.
