• …for even your most extreme design needs May29th

    Having run out of my original printing of business cards, I needed to order more. Being at a bit of a transitional period right now, it was also the opportune moment for a re-design. This time around I took a note from David Airey’s book and left space (significantly less than him mind you) for some note card functionality. I was intrigued when I read his post. I am constantly jotting down recommendations and things to check out for people - I might as well take that opportunity to give them my card!

    I also took advantage of the print service Airey mentioned: MOO. Upon investigation, I found they offer a service to print a variety images on the back of your cards (up to 50) in even amounts. While they market this as a way to carry a portfolio in your pocket, I see that functionality as more for photographers, not designers. It did however allow me to experiment with my card. I uploaded two designs, one with a classic logo on gradient background clean design, and one slightly… zany add for myself. Now I will have both a fun and serious card to distribute depending on who I’m talking to, and I ordered a small printing in case they don’t go over as well as planned.

  • Museum Technician Business Card May7th  (1 note)

    This project was more challenging than a standard business card for me because when you think about it, it’s an inversion of the standard business card model.

    Most business cards feature a business and an individual associated with that business. Since the business is established, the individual’s qualifications are assumed by the client. There are many people today however, needing business cards for their general profession rather than their particular employment. In this case the employer is the target ‘client’ of the business card, and the card must advertise the individual’s qualifications. 

    In the end an all-text layout with added color for interest and organization was the best solution.
