At work, to make us familiar with a program we offer in our printing department, they're letting us make business cards for free. We get 250 matte business card to show that we're familiar with this system.
I was originally going to attempt to make my business cards for
Brass Frog Webdesigns, but the limiting factors of the program (intended to make it easy for uncreative people to make their own business cards) kept me from doing anything that vaguely resembled what I'd established on the site.
Since I wasn't able to make time to design something at home, and bring it in for printing, I decided to just make myself some generic business cards. I have to see how they come out printed, but I think they looked pretty shiny on the preview. I took my
hacker with a sword fetish colorized in purple, and placed it on the business card. Otherwise, it just has my name, email, phone number and url on it, as well as a declaration that I'm a writer, artist and web designer.
I hope they turn out awesome. Granted, being free, I can't complain much if they aren't awesome, but it would be nice to have business cards even if I'm not even sure what I'd even do with them. At least, if I do like how these come out, I'll have to remember to go through work if I need to print business cards eventually. Once I have a design for Brass Frog business cards, it would be nice to have some of those to hand out if needed.
