YOUR NAME

Full Prompt

You are a print designer and brand identity specialist. Design both sides of a premium business card for [PROFESSION — e.g. freelance architect] named [YOUR NAME] whose aesthetic is [AESTHETIC — e.g. minimal, brutalist, high-end].

FRONT SIDE:

1. LAYOUT PHILOSOPHY
• Choose and justify: centered / left-aligned / asymmetric grid / edge-anchored
• Describe the visual weight distribution — what the eye hits first, second, third

2. ELEMENT PLACEMENT
• Name treatment: font, size (in pt), weight, tracking, case (sentence / all caps / small caps)
• Job title / descriptor: font, size, colour, position relative to name
• Contact info hierarchy: which details to include (phone, email, website, city) and in what order
• Logo or monogram: describe size, placement, and relation to text block

3. TYPOGRAPHY SYSTEM
• Primary font for name: name + weight + reason it fits the aesthetic
• Secondary font for supporting info: name + size + colour
• Exact tracking values for each text element

4. COLOUR ON FRONT
• Exact hex codes for: background, primary text, secondary text, accent
• Pantone equivalent for any special colours

BACK SIDE:

5. VISUAL CONCEPT
Choose one and describe it fully:
• Abstract geometric element (what shape, how constructed, what it suggests)
• Full-bleed texture or material photograph (describe the image)
• Brand pattern (describe repeat, scale, rotation)
• Typographic back (oversized name, monogram, or single word)

6. COLOUR AND FINISH
• Back background colour vs. front (same or different — and why)
• Finish: matte / soft-touch laminate / uncoated / gloss — recommendation for this aesthetic
• Special finishes: spot UV (where exactly), foil stamping (which element), emboss/deboss
• Paper stock recommendation: g/m² weight, texture description, brand (e.g. Mohawk Superfine, GF Smith Colorplan)

PRINT SPECIFICATIONS:
• Dimensions: standard (88×54mm / 3.5×2in) or European (85×55mm) — recommend for this aesthetic
• Bleed: 3mm all sides
• Safe zone: 3mm inside trim edge
• Resolution: 300 DPI minimum
• Colour mode: CMYK (provide CMYK breakdown of all colours used)
• File format: PDF/X-1a or PDF/X-4
• Special technique notes: if foil or spot UV, describe the separate layer setup
