Let's be real: presenting a flat business card design to clients can feel a bit... underwhelming. That perfect typography and clever use of white space deserve better than a basic artboard view. Here's how the right mockup can transform your design presentation from "here's your design" to "here's your vision come to life."
Why presentation matters in the design process ✨
We've all been there - you've crafted the perfect business card design, but now you need to help your client visualize it in a way that makes them say "yes" with confidence. The right mockup doesn't just show your design; it helps tell its story.
