Review:

Businesscardmonster Designer is a business card designer, with the proof page delivered immediately by e-mail in PDF format ready for printing.

It features over 900 backgrounds in 42 categories, choice of over 20 editable text layouts, full font control (type, size, color, etc), choice of 12 program skins (or none), and more.

This is an excellent designer tool to create professional-looking business or introduction cards.

You create the card by inputting your information and then select the background and the text layout. You can then tweak the text layout – adding color to the text, changing fonts, even moving the text around to conform to the text points already built into the program.

Once you are happy with the look of the card you simply click on the "send me the Proof" button, include your e-mail address, and within two minutes an e-mail will arrive with an attached PDF document that contains your cards ready for printing.

The PDF document contains 8 copies of your card, plus all trim marks, so you can simply print it (best on to 120 or 150gsm card) and then cut out the individual cards. Simple.

Unfortunately you cannot simply add your own background image, though it is not too hard to overwrite an existing background with your own and have that display instead of the original.

We were most impressed with Businesscardmonster Designer. It creates a truly professional looking card with the minimum of effort or artistic flair, but still allows the user to personalize the layout and appearance of the card.

We loved!
