In the previous tutorial. I have made the Vertical business or organizational card

Now today "I'm presenting Horizontal card for your brand"

Let me show you what today we have to make!

This is a double-sided horizontal business card. That I have made for you guys

Lets start it in illustrator

Open the new page on Illustrator and set the size of the page is about "2.25 inches height and 3.75 inches width. Add bleed points 0.125 for Top, Bottom, Left, Right, And color mode CMYK" and select to Artboard

---

---

Now these Artboards will appear like that

---

In these pages First I add the Rectangle for Trimming box which size is about 3.50 inches and 2.00 inches width. And then it presses Ctrl + R to show rules. and Click on the rules and drag the guidelines to where you want. The cyan line are guidelines for alignment

---

---

Now Adding the save box which is blue stroke

---

As in the previous tutorial I have mentioned the usability of saving box which is used that the content may not be disturbed as when we designed the card. Because sometimes the trimmer cuts the card inside or Outside that's why we used the box for an indication that we have to design in it. But its important to your the whole artboard for trimmer may cut it outside then it may happen sometime the white space is appears. So for these problems Simply save box and trimmer box is used for your perfect standard size.

Now Adding a rectangle

box of about whole size of a card the adding gradient on it and then low-down its opacity about 23% which appears as you see in the picture

---

---

Now take the background image for eye-catching style

In this image I place the image back and the placed it in back and opacity box placed in front to create effect that is appeared on the card as you see

---

---

Now I placing it perfectly as you like!

Now Applying the gaussian blur on the image also on the rectangle box which is blues to look cool and also just low there opacity as you needed.

---

Now placing the logo

---

Now writing the tagline of your business or brand

*TIPS

The business name must b writen in between 10px to 12px and the tagline is about to 8px to 10px

---

Now Writing the Name or profession

---

Now placing the Icons

The icons which are used are taken from the "flaticon" and the placed it that required!
And the small green boxes that are you seen is just for the accurate distance between them

---

Now writing the information they given to you!

Like Name, Phone-Number, Email-Address, location etc.

---

Now Hiding the guidelines

When I hover the cursor over the guidelines its show the Cross sign which means that you can move it anywhere if the guides are not locked.

but when you click right button the menu will appear to hides the guidelines as you can see.

---

Now your card is ready :)
