Once again, I got into contact with Dave at Wrongkey Designs (http://www.wrongkeydesign.co.uk/) and he designed me some rather fantastic little business cards. I asked for several designs so that I could pick and choose from them, and show a sense of development and decision making during the design process. Plus, for the purposes of presentation, having them on a display sheet for the End of Year Degree Show will certainly look quite professional, I think! I also think that the more plain designs will appeal to those of a more professional industry standing, as opposed to the more ‘busier’ designs. The latter will no doubt appeal much more to clients and collaborators. There will no doubt be more designs along these lines in the future – possibly cards themed around certain holidays and events, etc.
These will be used at any future art-themed functions or general social gatherings, at which I may be able to drum up potential interest in my designs. It was strongly encouraged to us in the portfolio aspect of our Professional Practice seminars to get a set of business cards designed, as it shows professionalism and willingness to network with other commissioners and creatives. I will also be having these cards on hand at any possible convention scenarios that I attend / take part in during the months and years to come. I will be getting htem printed out i the next week so that I have some on hand during the End of Year Degree Show on the 6th / 7th and so on.
