My MAKE29 business cards are perfect for sending out with numbered editions, but I needed something different for just handing out in real life and for sending along with other products. And I love any excuse to design new stuff for my brand.
I've always been a fan of photos on my cards (remember these?! or these?!). Maybe it's because my blog and website branding is so photo heavy and this is a physical extension of that. Or maybe it's just because I don't really have a logo so this is easy. I enjoyed picking a random assortment of new photos (two ampersands, obviously) to fill them up. I recently changed my email signature line to "I make stuff like it's my job." and felt like it would be fun to put that on there. My goal for my business cards is that people want them. They want to keep them. They want to stick them on their bulletin board.
The backside holds all my info. Paul was like, "what's gram?" and that's when I realized I REALLY need someone to check my work before I send it off to the printer. I used GRAM because it's shorter than INSTAGRAM so it fit with my format. Probably a massive fail, but who knows? If you're on IG you'll probably get it, and if not, you can email me. ;) I wanted to incorporate the podcast and it didn't fit the format so I made that a small joke out of that. Small joke + big statement + photos = ELISE.
I had these printed by overnightprints.com (my go-to these days for promo pieces) and as always, was thrilled with the results.
