3D animation is all about rendering images to a three-dimensional space. This is a branch of animation that is used for education, medicine, engineering, and more. 

Adding a small 3D detail to your card will help inform the audience of what you do. You can do this through a 3D typography of your name or a striking 3D icon. 

Another design concept you can add to your business card to stimulate visual depth without losing its adaptability is to add gradients. This style is a way of coloring that blends two or more colors, creating a striking transition.

Pro tip: Keep it simple

One of the most important rules of design is to maintain simplicity. It is an essential trait for any design as it drives memorability and lessens visual clutter. To do this, you want to keep ornamental details in your calling card to a minimum.

2D animator business cards

For 2D animators, clients come from different industries to ask animators to join projects for PowerPoints, instruction videos, and more. A business card will help you stay on top of their minds when they need you. 

Remember that this tool is what will help your audience learn more about your service and how they can reach you. You could even add a QR code that leads to your online portfolio.

Another thing you can add to your design is readable text. It is crucial to make sure that you are working with a legible font. Each letter must be distinct so as not to confuse the readers. One test you could try is the “Il1” test to help you gauge how distinct the letters are in your font choice. Type a capital letter “i,” a lowercase letter “L,” and the number 1 will help you see a font’s effectiveness.

Pro tip: Add essential information

Familiarize yourself with the vital information that you need to share on your card. For example, business card information typically includes your name, email address, website, contact number, and business logo. But it is vital to make sure that you don’t put unnecessary information. Otherwise, you might risk adding clutter to your card.

Cartoon animator business cards

Entertainment animators require a lot of creativity for their work. A character animator business card will help you demonstrate your artistic side. Featuring a cartoon version of yourself will help you do this, but it will also make your card recipients more familiar with what you look like. In addition, it helps raise awareness of your brand and make you more authentic. 

Ornaments like frames, accent details, and other similar decors can help tie your design together. You can add them to your design and make it more eye-catching. But you want to make sure to add elements without intricate details on them to avoid oversaturating your card with visual distractions.
