Well as the title says, I’m no print designer, but with a few minutes to spare between children going to bed and the increasingly excellent afterlife I thought I’d have a shot at a concept for my business cards. The number of times in the last month I wish I’d had a bunch of these in my pocket is getting beyond a joke, so it’s time to pull my finger out.
I can’t afford any ‘snazzy’ print techniques, it’s just single colour and a tint of black for me on a good quality stock.

So, as you can see, solid on the reverse with a portrait apsect and white on the front with landscape and a nice large logotype. I must say I’ve been tempted to include something about nine four, focus etc… a little inspired perhaps by the clear:left business cards.
Update: Well, after some discussion with a few old work mates I decided that the card needs to at least say what I do. Not everyone who has one will neccesarily have talked to me in person or remember what I said. What if I hand some out at a party and someone bags one only to stumble acrosss it in a years time when they need my services, but ignore it becuase it doesn’t spell those services out.

So, with that in mind I decided to add a short and simple description of my services; “new media design & development”. I’ve also ditched the company address as I really can’t think that anyone would benefit from this on a business card in this day and age, especially when I’m not likely to meet clients at the ‘home office’ and don’t really want clients communicating in a non electronic manner. Do you think it’s safe to lose the address?
