Honey do lists


Honey do lists are a very popular... The ones above are a gift for a couple about to get married.

We use honey do lists as give-ways for our customers. We have a couple of different B&W notepads on the counter but these are the most popular ones :)

Real estate agents also love them for their own advertising. It's great to introduce yourself to a potential client and make them remember you.

Business card set up





In North America the standard size for buiness cards is 3.5" x 2". They can be landscape, the most common format, or portrait.

Inside the blue frameis the save area where all text or graphics need to reside if it has to be on the card. This area should be 3.25" x 1.75" or smaller. Text outside the save does not look professional.

A business card that has colour bleeding across the edge,  needs to have a drawing size of at least 3.75" x 2.25", see the area outside the dotted line on the image above. This allows for a smooth cutting without any white lines along the edge.




Your art work should be 300 dpi and CMYK colour profile. 72 dpi and RGB is for screen designs. Outline all fonts, include crop marks.

If the above rules are followed, your business card will look professional.
