Having writer’s block (well I guess we can call it designer’s block) is not uncommon. Creative people must always struggle with bouts of unproductivity. This can be very frustrating if you’re looking to design some business cards for your photography. Here are some ideas to get your creative juices flowing.

First of, unless you are doing something artistic your design should have a lot of color. Most business cards are drab and boring. This is fine, even preferrable, if its representing like an accountant or a lawyer. But remember you’re a photographer – you pride yourself on your creativity! Getting colors for a business card is often more expensive but can be well worth it if it helps your card stand out amongst a pile.

Second, consider getting a card that has glossy paper. Someo online printers have the ability to print full color photos. The possibilities of this are quite powerful. You could possibily put your best photos on the back of your cards. This will not only help your card stand out but it will also showcase your best work.

In regards to what information to include – usually your full name, email address, your internet site web address and phone number is enough. Some people feel the need to include an address. This is helpful if you have an office – it will help you come across as more serious and professional.

If you still are having trouble coming up with something there are some other brainstorming actions you can do. Check out the free templates and designs that are available. You do not have to use them. But you can definitely take inspiration from them. You can also take apart the design and modify it.
