Business Card Composer For Windows

Trial: Nagware (puts 'Made with Business Card Composer' on everything)

Thanks to the rock-bottom prices on laser and photo-quality inkjetprinters, more people than ever have the ability to doprofessional-grade print jobs at home. A lot of employers providebusiness cards for their employees, but if you're self-employed orprefer to do your own design, Business Card Composer (BCC) offers aneconomical alternative to high-priced (and over-powered, for this job)desktop publishing software.

The old cliché says that a jack of all trades is a master of none, andfor making business cards, it pretty much holds true of most desktoppublishing software. BeLight's approach with BCC is refreshinglysimple: make an application that does only one thing and does itextremely well.

When you first launch the application, you're presented with theBusiness Card Assistant, a brilliant walk-through wizard. You canchoose to build a card based on one of the several hundred includeddesigns, or you can start with a blank slate and create your own. Theincluded designs are, for the most part, very tasteful andprofessional, a definite cut above typical templates included with manyapplications.

Once you've chosen a design, the next step is to fill in the contactinformation. BCC thoughtfully reads the Address Book entry you'vedesignated as your own and fills in as much as it can from thatdatabase. You can make business cards for other people, too—just dropthe Address Book entry onto the text fields from the list on the right.

After filling in the data, you can choose a printing layout for thecards. BCC comes with print templates for nearly every card layoutknown to man, along with custom templates and online print templatesfor sending to a print shop.

Now you're ready to put the finishing touches on the card. Flashfrozen 1 3 3. Aftercompleting the three-step assistant, BCC presents a fairly standardpage-layout window where you can select various elements, rearrangethem, group them, resize them, change their color and opacity, etc.—inshort, everything you'd expect a professional desktop publishingprogram to do.

If you choose to skip the Assistant, you'll be sent straight to thelayout window, complete with a blank layout, where you can design yourown card from the ground up.

Various clip art collections are available via the pop-up menu on theleft, or you can use photos in your iPhoto database, or choose anotherfolder of clip art or photos. BCC's downloadable version ships with asmall clip art library (700 images); the boxed version, which is agreat deal at $5 more, ships with an enormous library of over 23,000images. The boxed version also provides another 100 pre-made businesscard templates for a total of 500 designs.

Business Card Composer's OS X integration is excellent. Not only doesit utilize the Address Book and iPhoto databases, but Tiger users canapply Core Image filters to clip art and photos. This has the potentialto save you the time and trouble of switching to an application likePhotoshop or iPhoto—you can do all your FX work in BCC itself. And ofcourse, as with any good OS X application, Business Card Composer hasexcellent Help.

Unlike most professional page-layout apps, BCC lacks rulers and guides,probably its most serious omission. The ability to snap elements to agrid would be most useful as well. BCC has limited snap-tofunctionality, much like that found in Interface Builder, but InterfaceBuilder provides guides, which BCC does not. Pixel-level layout andcontrol are made considerably more difficult due to this omission, andit's the only thing keeping BCC from getting an Excellent rating.

The only other major quirk of the software is in the aforementionedHelp. While excellent in general, BeLight's developers are Ukrainian (alovely postcard of Odessa was included in the press kit), and there aretimes it's obvious English is not their first language. It's not badenough to inhibit comprehension, but the Help could use a good nativeEnglish copyediting.

Composer

The functionality offered by Business Card Composer is either partiallyor completely duplicated in Adobe's InDesign; Quark's XPress; Apple'sAppleWorks, Pages, and FileMaker; and Omni's OmniGraffle, so if youalready have one of these apps, you might find BCC to be superfluous.However, with the exception of the two high-end DTP apps, none of theseperforms as well as BCC in the business card task. A jack of all tradesmight be nice, but for most people, a master of one is more useful.
