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.

  • Use the member's official color as the base
  • Two or three colors total, no more
  • Light background, dark text — never reverse
  • One accent spot, not five
  • Whitespace beats palette every time

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.

  • Pick one Korean line and make it the largest element
  • Write in 정자체 (block style) — clear strokes, even spacing
  • Go bigger than feels right — small text disappears on busy cards
  • Two fonts maximum across the whole card
  • Make the idol's name the darkest element on the 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.

  • Eye flows top to bottom — anchor the focal point up top
  • Off-center photos look more dynamic than dead-center
  • Leave corners empty — they frame, not decorate
  • Center the Korean message in the calmest zone
  • Five stickers or fewer, placed to guide the eye
