I have designed some business cards to get printed. I went with the company 'MOO'.com and got 50 cards on premium paper for £12. They have close-up images on the front and simply my contact information on the back. It may take a while for them to get delivered, they are expected on wed 12th of may. The first 4 images have been sent off. I wasn't so keen n the bottom 2, the are still some of my favourite images, but I didn't think they fit in with the general aesthetic I was heading for. I had planned on ordering more if these come out well.
They have arrived!!!! 3 days early. Now I have a lovely box of business cards I can start handing out. I may order another set, but whilst in a tutorial last week, Joel said about continuity between my website, cards, promotional material etc. I'm thinking about adding my tag (name etc) from my website on the back of the cards???
I ordered my portfolio from 'The London Graphics Centre'. I was looking for a quality portfolio, that wasn't too expensive and was small enough to easily carry around. The book ring binding format works fairly well, but its the quality of the sleeves that are top notch. Sometimes a physical portfolio isn't needed and a good website will suffice, but you may get the odd client who will ask you to bring it with you to an interview. So I printed one to get the ball rolling.
