Like every aspiring designer (read “wannabe”) one must have a business card to hand out. So a couple of weeks ago, I decided to get some of my business card design printed. Self print that is. I wanted to try and see the outcome myself before I go out and bought a whole bundle of professionally printed one. Not the best choice, but I think the print quality itself isn’t that bad. Although one of my set of cards are turning yellow for some reason (used to be gray). Not that big of a deal, but I’ve never seen anything like that happen before, so it was interesting. Well as interesting as a business card can get

So I decided to print 4 kinds. One with a big type, a blank one with the logo in the background, a ruler one, and one with a bunch of random but useful information (conversion etc.). My personal favorite is the latter two. Although I’m probably not the first to think of either one. I’m also proud of titling the random info one “Everything you ever need” followed by my name and information. Get it? *laughs obnoxiously*. Check it out at the bottom of the post.

OK, I know that was lame but it is pretty hard to come up with something original in this business card filled world. Below are some useful links that I used to design my business card.
