Tass Needs A Business Card

Re: Tass Needs A Business Card

A picture of you is much more suitable.

Not likely... that would look tacky, actually.

The best option for an insignia or picture is a company logo. If not that, then a simple, original, and iconic symbol might work too. For example, Chardish's gradient circle or Synth's triangles would work well on a business card.

But Tass's book cover art? Not so much.

Hm. I suppose you're right, but a lot of business cards have people's faces on them.

I've seen a lot of business cards in my day and I have never seen one with a photo on it.

At least, not a professional one. I'm talking about one that exudes class, one that would look appropriate with simple embossed lettering. Not one of these cheap-ass print-job pieces of junk.

I think the thing here is that you need to decide what your business card is for. Is it simply to provide a means of supplying contact information quickly and with class, or do you see it as a means of advertising?

Can't help but think of this with all this talk of business cards.

I mean, the avatar could work if it was changed to be black and white and more like a logo than the cover art it is.

e: Like an outline or something, vector, not sure how to explain what I mean. Just more... Solid.

Re: Tass Needs A Business Card

This would be much easier if you actually gave us the info, so we can judge sizes better.

anyway, thinking something like this. going to do more, but need to eat and do homework now. not sure about the font, but w/e.


EDIT: updated.

Re: Tass Needs A Business Card

Repasted since new page. I'm hesitant to put the avatar image on, for all the reasons everyone has stated, plus it would look awkward with this design.

Re: Tass Needs A Business Card

A broken jpeg business card is definitely the best idea yet.

Re: Tass Needs A Business Card

I don't know if anyone will get what I'm trying to say, nor do I have any type of program/knowhow to make this happen. Not to mention this being late. But, my personal vision on what tass would like would have features like this:

Background: FFR Blues, from left to right going through a gradual brightening of color from deep sky blue to a soft Robin's egg blue in the middle then a slow fading out.

Lettering: Black to make stick out, with a font that has a more italicized look, much like the letter of "ffr" on xandertrax's first idea.

Placement: The name being large in the middle with his phone number directly underneath it in slightly smaller font size. Mostly because you want the easiest way to contact you to be the quickest thing a person will see on a business card. Here in lies a more unique factor, if both of Tass' jobs involve the websites he wants posted, I would say to have them listed underneath his name/phone number one in each corner with the job title on top and the website underneath. This would give the card holder a direct idea as to where to go to check out what he has done. I would recommend not putting your personal address on the card. If it is a business address you are using then place it underneath your phone number. Then put both emails across the top on one line with a defining space between the two.
