Personal designs start from a look rather than a business layout, because the proportions and expectations are different.

  • Classic: traditional placement, conservative type.
  • Modern: cleaner spacing and a lighter type treatment.
  • Minimal: the least ornament, maximum clarity.
  • Monogram: initials as the visual anchor.
  • Image: a background or side image area.
  • Desk-set: proportioned for larger desk register stock.
