business cards
& letterhead
in business cards...
it is okay to have empty corners
it is okay NOT to center the layout
it is okay to use type smaller than 12pt
it is okay to use one large graphic image
a standard business card is 3.1x2 inches. 
templates in Illustrator and InDesign will
give you an easy start.
Consider 1) readable numbers, 2) the necessity

you do "t" or simply just put the number?, 3) parentheses
around area codes are truly unnecessary
don't be afraid to use small type or graphic elements
don't be afraid to use large type or graphic elements
don't be afraid to place items in unusual positions
don't be afraid to fill the writing space with an image.
so long as the opacity is low enough to put readable text over.
while not the clearest scan (sorry!)
