Like Bryon stated, the design of your card can tell individuals what kind of person you are. People in the business world usually are better off with high quality business cards that don't have a lot of color to them. Using high quality paper and raised printing will enhance the card. If you are designer or something of that nature, a full-color business card is a good choice. If you're a designer and you don't have a "cool" or "colorful" looking business card people will unconsciously view you as being poor at your profession (this might sound extreme, but its true).

Conservative design with official titles inspire the vision of an industry stalwart. Whimsical designs and content are better suited for the up-and-coming business that wants to get noticed. One of the best "out-there" designs that I've seen is the <a href="http://businesscard-reviews.com/2007/unconventional-cards/growing-business-card/" rel="nofollow"> Growing Business Card</a> that actually sprouts an alfalfa plant. -Bryon You mentioned that:

Most people don't care about the things we put in business cards. They are more concerned with the real you which they want to observe. I agree with Micheal.
