Cards preview.

Over the past couple of weeks I've been developing and investing in ideas, materials and equipment for my own range of cards. Those of you who may not be aware, this is what my Mother does as a self employed artist for a living, selling handmade cards and goods. Where I differ is that mine are digitally hand drawn and printed myself. So you could say like Mother like Son..

I have a range of 10 different cards at the moment which I'll try out and see which appeal to the market and those that don't.
I have loads of ideas for the next step, it's just about presenting them to the right buyers and shop owners, in which I have a few contacts listed already.

Below is a sample of 3, I'm really happy with the quality, the Kraft brown envelopes sealed in a plastic envelope make them they look very professional.

Breaking Time.

This is my proposal for the greatest show never to be created.

5 gym personalities.

Business cards.

Made me some new business cards. 

 

It was important for me to not only give a taster of what I do but not give too much away too. You want people to be intrigued and have a look at the sites you've carefully considered to put down on your business card - I was really attempted to put more info down. 

Another important factor for me personally at least was to communicate that I specialize in hand drawn and hand made work. I printed all of these and cut them down to size myself, (there was a lot of trial and error) with the artwork used being straight from my sketchbook. 

As well as this, the choice of stock was very important. I intentionally went for a very robust and textured acid free cartridge paper (300gsm), you'd be surprised by how much your fingers can make a first impression. Like, imagine a very glossy finish, with a very thin stock, you would instantly get a different vibe about that person, no?

Anyway, pretty happy with the results. Hurrah.
