K-pop Fan Card Design Tips: 15 Lines to Keep It Simple

Color, typography, layout — three rules per zone to make one Korean line stand out

Color and visual mood

In our 28-locale fan card flow, the design choices that travel best are the simplest: official member colors, one Korean line in 정자체 (block style), one focal point. Everything else competes with the message. Start with palette.

Typography and Korean lettering

One Korean line, large and clean, beats five small lines fighting for room. Block-style 정자체 reads better than cursive when your idol skims hundreds of cards.

  • 한국어 한 줄만 크게 — Pick one Korean line and make it the largest element Make this into a card
  • 정자체로 또박또박 쓰세요 — Write in 정자체 (block style) — clear strokes, even spacing Make this into a card
  • 글씨는 생각보다 크게 — Go bigger than feels right — small text disappears on busy cards Make this into a card
  • 폰트는 두 개를 넘기지 마세요 — Two fonts maximum across the whole card Make this into a card
  • 이름은 가장 진하게 — Make the idol's name the darkest element on the card Make this into a card

Layout and focal point

Cards work in zones. The eye reads top-to-bottom, so put your focal point high and the message in the calm middle.

  • 시선은 위에서 아래로 — Eye flows top to bottom — anchor the focal point up top Make this into a card
  • 사진은 살짝 비껴서 — Off-center photos look more dynamic than dead-center Make this into a card
  • 모서리는 비워두세요 — Leave corners empty — they frame, not decorate Make this into a card
  • 메시지는 한가운데 — Center the Korean message in the calmest zone Make this into a card
  • 스티커는 다섯 개 이하로 — Five stickers or fewer, placed to guide the eye Make this into a card
