Grey Eyed Creative

The December Drive - Games

Big day for me. I got my very first business cards in today!

I used a 16pt stock which I couldn’t find very easily. I printed with 4over.com. They were speedy, accurate, and easy to deal with. They do require an account approval. But the prices are excellent. I went with a matte/dull finish which I was happy with. Most business cards tend to have that UV coating that reflects too much. I definitely am a matte kind of guy.

Pretty exciting. I’ve always wanted to be able to talk design with someone and be able to follow up with a business card to reinforce my interest and love for this art. I’ve come to realize that especially in this business, networking plays an important role. A conversation with an old friend about your work and business card in their hands can generate job opportunities for you in the future. Maybe their boss is looking for a designer they can trust or a family member is looking to get work done. If you make the right impression, you’ll be the first person they think of. And if they’ve kept your business card, then the circle of life is complete.

Well maybe the circle of design.

These came out better than I had hoped. Would love to hear your thoughts and critiques.
