Learn how to create your own business card design using online tools. You can either print out your business cards at home, or enlist moo.com’s printing services as a nice little splurge!
Some of my favorite clients are Etsy entrepreneurs — people who want to vamp up their shops with a one-of-a-kind banner, business card design, stickers, etc. When I work with these clients, I ask them to provide me with a Pinterest board of graphics that inspire them; graphics that have “vibes” they would like their own shop to echo. I also ask for five adjectives that the client would like the final product to be described as — for example: whimsical, pretty, vintage, artistic, eclectic.
Yesterday, I became my own client as I finally reached my breaking point with my out-of-date business cards. I had them printed over a year ago, and they don’t reflect the aesthetic of my business now.
I used moo.com to print the cards above. While they are excellent quality {physically}, the design on the front is chaotic, the back features an outdated logo, and the overall “feel” doesn’t reflect my business anymore. In short: they’ve got to go.
In order to create a new business card design, I asked myself the same questions I ask my clients … and I found that I am my own nightmare client. It’s so easy to work off of other people’s ideas … but my own? That’s where I hit a brick wall. Because I am used to having some sense of direction or some guidelines, coming up with designs for me is always a challenge. For months I have been trying to come up with the perfect business card, and for months I have been striking out.
But yesterday, by some stroke of luck, the inspiration fairy paid a visit to me. Now I’ve finally got a business card design I am happy with.
