Business card design in Kenya

Design business cards with verified contact information and printer-ready output.

A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE

Fictional card-design CARD-43 prepares one 85×55 mm double-sided business card for a bicycle mechanic, with three staff-name versions. Front carries the approved logo, name and role; back carries phone, address and a website QR code. Deliverables are three named print PDFs, editable source and a six-face proof sheet. Printing and logo creation are excluded. The 85×55 mm size is an example selected for this brief; the actual printer must confirm its trim, bleed and safe-area requirements before release.
