On the subject of business cards
8 years ago
General
So...oops! I forgot about this until now.
I've been repeatedly encouraged to invest in business cards that I can hand out during conventions, in that I can hand them out to suiters I photograph so they know where to find me online.
It's a pretty neat idea and I'd like to do that. But I have no experience seeking out businesses online that can provide a timely and quality product. So to hopefully make this easy, does anyone here have experience ordering business cards and can recommend a reputable company?
However that's the easy part. The harder part is that I need to figure out exactly what I'm going to put on said card. My twitter handle and Flickr handle, for starters. I think those square barcodes are still in vogue these days, right? Maybe that too, that directly links to my Twitter page. And maybe a simple graphic design of some sort...a minimalist kangaroo silouette in the center of the card? Maybe, I don't know yet. But yes, commissioning someone on FA to produce a few graphics is entirely an option.
I was hoping to brainstorm a little bit here and see if anyone could help with ideas.

The ones interested in Math tutoring, electronic repair, etc... may not be so hot knowing about the stuff i draw.
You want to keep cards simple, clear and easy to read, but nicer looking than the easy stuff.
When I meet someone and become friends with someone at a meet or a convention... Here's a card!
I can stuff them in their badge holder or in their foot paw when they're in full suit and no pockets lol.
These business cards were designed online at Staples and I used art that I commissioned from Drevin.

hope it helped
I just ordered my first set of cards from them. I was rather impressed by the array of options available to customize the business cards. In the future I'll probably want to get some sort of design commissioned to use as the background - something simple and/or minimalist. But that's my fault for not getting around to this sooner. In the meantime I was decently happy with their array of stock images, so I just used one of those.
