Pick Any Two

My new business cards arrived last week and they look sweet! The front is black on black with a UV spot varnish on the lettering (very 80’s, I know). Printed on heavy stock with a matte laminate finish by Aubergine Print in Southwell, who I highly recommend as a specialist business card printer. Their prices are great, but not at the expense of quality - these things feel even better than they look, and the stock response from people who I have been giving them to has been along the lines of “Ooh, these are really nice - I’ll be hanging on to this”.

I never really expected much of a response to giving out a business card, but it would seem that a well designed card with some thought put into it, rather than just settling for a utilitarian design, can get people’s attention. Besides, as a graphic designer, you’ve got to have a natty business card, right? - it’s a chance to show your skills as well as pass on your contact deets.
