New Business cards on the way…

Who’d of thought re-branding would be so time consuming…

The new logo means new business cards, but this time – I plan to keep the cards changing. Moo.com will hopefully help me achieve that.

Most of you who have ever created your own cards will know

a: The design is tricky, you have to take the design of any text into serious account to ensure that you haven’t produced something so small its unreadable (generally you wont be designing your card to the scale they are printed).
b: Unless you have a proof sent to you, your design may be amazing, or really disappointing when you open your shiny new package of cards.
c: They can be very very expensive to produce..

My cards especially are dangerous, ‘why’ I hear you say – because they feature my work. I’ve decided with this incarnation to produce ’samples’ of my recent work. This will mean changing them frequently to showcase my best work.

Thankfully, Moo.com can produce cards quite cheaply – this batch of 200 winging their way to me cost £40 odd, that’s almost £50 cheaper than my last cards cost. OK, so my last cards were made by a HQ print company who could also apply ’spot UV’ treatment to the cards (making my text shiny against a matt card). This time around I’m forgoing this in favour of flexibility (hopefully!).

I have to say, I’m quite nervous. Will the paper be of a nice textured quality? Will they look really really cheap? Will I chuck them straight in the bin or treasure this new found service? If Moo.com have delivered, they will have turned my order around in three working days and won a customer for life!
