Designer Tips for a Perfect Christmas Card
1 Start with a High-Quality Photo
Select a clear, memorable photo with good lighting and focus. Blurry, overly bright or overly dark images can lead to unsatisfactory results. A headshot or upper-body photo with a joyful expression works best.
2 Play with Complementary Colors
Colors that evoke the holiday spirit — such as red, green, gold, and white — make your card festive. Experiment with complementary hues to create harmony and visual appeal.
3 Prioritize Readable Text
If adding text, ensure it stands out from the background. Use easy-to-read fonts and avoid overcrowding your card with too much information.
4 Choose the Right Paper
If you’re printing your card, opt for high-quality textured paper. Avoid using extra-thin paper, as it is fragile and unsuitable for long-term preservation. You may choose the paper texture as you wish: glossy or matte card stock offers a polished look, while uncoated paper gives a vintage and natural feel.
