Hello! Want A Business Card?

I have seen many business cards in my day. Big ones, tall ones, fat ones, skinny ones, bad ones, good ones, and the list goes on! I actually just counted all of the ones I have saved over the past year and a half and it totals to 70. To me, that's a lot, but I suspect that in one more year, that number will double if not triple. Some of these cards I have make me feel important. Some of the companies that have given me their cards include Lucas Film, Maxon, Disney, Mental Images, Lightstream Animation, Blizzard Entertainment, and Starz Animation just to name a few.

See a trend here? Of course you do. Everyone who's someone has a business card, whether they are representing themselves, their company, or a company they work for. This seems to be the number one marketing piece for yourself that is fast, efficient, and gives a complete stranger all the information they would ever need to stalk you!

Going through the cards I have collected, I notice trends. I will save that for another blog post though, so keep your eyes open. But I do suggest you take a look at many different kinds of business cards and their designs to get a sense of how people represent themselves on this tiny piece of card stock. It's truly amazing thinking about all of the ways people present their information on a 3 inch by 1.75 inch (in most cases) piece of paper.

Getting to the juice of this post, enjoy my business cards. I went with a very nice, neat, sleek, and very presentable design that obviously follows the BoldHeart visual identity. I get the point across and tell you who I am on the card and how you can contact me. Make sure if you bump into me, you ask for one because they feel so much better than they look, although I'm not too fond of my wooden desktop as their backdrop!
