MUA/Hair/Wardrobe...show us your business cards!
 I'm still working on mine. I'm going to give these out folded like palettes. They will have round eyeshadow stickers in the pots, which I will remove one at a time every time a client comes with the business card for a 15-20% discount. That way they can give it to their friends to get a discount too and my name gets around a bit more. I had thought of giving them an empty card, and fill IN the pots with permanent stickers (the kind that will just rip all over the place if you try to peel them off.) You think that would be better? Any advice would be nice. I have a larger one that is like TWO cards folded, so that when it's folded it is the normal card size with two pots in it. I had thought of using that because when the pots are full, they can just cut the second half off and have a normal business card, but everyone seems to like the smaller, sleeker one.

The only thing I had added was on the back (all pink, with signature and lips at the bottom right) was a list of the kind of work I do (Print, Bridal, etc.)  Apr 19 09 12:46 pm Link I like them simple and matching my website design. This card is glossy on both sides.   Apr 19 09 01:08 pm Link I dont have one for makeup just yet, but i did the makeup and design for my photog. card  i decided to keep it simple, as i can always write additional info on the back  Apr 19 09 02:04 pm Link A N G wrote: LOVE this one!!!! Apr 19 09 09:49 pm Link  So many beautiful ones! I'm reordering mine tonight as I've updated my details so will post the design later. I've always had an image but I thing they look too messy and they date too quickly. My fave image now won't be my fave in a couple of month's time. Apr 19 09 10:44 pm Link Jhaesayte, now I know your real name! Vanessa is so much easier to pronounce. In fact, I still can't pronounce 'Jhaesayte'! Jay-Sayt? Anyway! I think adding stickers would be better, that way it will be like "yaaay, I have a full palette, now I get a discount!" Apr 19 09 10:48 pm Link Here is one I've had that has served me for years now, but I regret not using a more generic/classic photo being I have a lot of politicians and government officials I work on. I feel like i have to apologize every time I give a snake card out.haha. It was a good ideal when I was doing more testing and my clients were not so "official" as it got good feedback. lol! This thread reminds me I need to get on that new design asap. This has rounded corners and comes on nice stock quality gloss paper.   Apr 19 09 11:06 pm Link Here's mine - gotta order more soon. My fiancee makes my cards lol. They have UV spot glow on some areas, the rest is matte. Nice heavy cardstock too. Apr 19 09 11:09 pm Link I like both KMA and Aeni's. Very nice work. I got some professionally designed when they did my logo but I hate it so looks like i'll be designing mine., Just can't b bothered.

I use the the name logo and fonts on all of my stuff to keep my branding consistent. I don't love the design at all but i don't hate it enough to trash the huge pile of cards i have to pay for new ones. i didn't want to put a picture on the card because i tire of my images so quickly, so i was bored one night and just played with photoshop until i got what i wound up with. it's ok.  Apr 19 09 11:27 pm Link I like it Allie! You should so design me a pretty card heheApr 20 09 12:01 am Link __Allie__ wrote: This is SO important. I actually just remembered that the when I got my snake cards printed I had a different website and the landing page was the exact same picture and layout on the front of the card to enter. The more consistent your brand is the better. Apr 20 09 07:48 am Link Laura Maria wrote: I so didn't see your post *blush* Apr 20 09 05:07 pm Link Someone else post theirs! Apr 22 09 03:23 pm Link back  front  I used to have pictures on my old business cards but I found that I always wanted to change the picture everytime I shot something new. I'll still be satisfied with this card in 6 months or a year or whatever. EDIT: I give up on resizing. they don't seem to get any smaller. Apr 22 09 03:45 pm Link Some awesome cards! Vanessa that's so cool - very different! Mine reposted with newer cards on pg 4! Apr 22 09 04:23 pm Link ^ LOVE (sorry, i'm stalking you) lol Apr 22 09 04:25 pm Link I'm sad that we're not supposed to have pics of our work. And looking through some of these awesome examples, I'm realizing mine is a bit busy, but here it is! (sorry for the ginormousness)   Apr 22 09 04:26 pm Link ModelistaSarah wrote: Hehehe it's ok Apr 22 09 04:37 pm Link LB Benson wrote: I like images but the only thing is that they date easily and knowing me, I'd be ordering new ones every few weeks!! Apr 22 09 04:38 pm Link Laura Maria wrote: Agreed on both points. Learning as I go Apr 22 09 05:29 pm Link Here's my card. I'm re-printing it soon, with a new picture and my agency information. I also changed all the font on my website to Helvetica, so I want the card to match. I'm way into san-serif fonts at the moment; nice and clean. And I'm getting my agency comp printed next week too; excited!

At the very least, it helped me with my cards and website, haha. Apr 22 09 09:03 pm Link lol forget graphic design sian. i'd hire you to do my makeup. haha!

I'm designing mine Apr 22 09 11:19 pm Link Jhaesayte wrote: oh wow, superb idea Apr 22 09 11:20 pm Link Here's my design. I haven't ordered them yet. Do think it would look better in white or do you all like the black??  Apr 23 09 02:52 am Link Heres one I just designed. Not entirely sure if it will be what i'm using. Feel free to let me know what you think, pm me if you want to provide constructive critisism and don't want to get in trouble Please note that my main market will be brides so I wanted something classy that would appeal to them but also something not all white so it could be used for other areas. My website isn't designed yet so don't bother trying to look for it, lol. Am thinking of making the back the same design but listing what services I provide. Thoughts?  Apr 24 09 02:30 am Link i just redesigned mine... but i think i might already do another one! i have a bridal one too, but i am not on my main computer to get the jpeg the back is pink gossy and all my contact info is on there  Apr 24 09 05:54 pm Link Thats a stunning picture!

A friend of mine designed me one that said something to the effect of 'I'm a pretty big deal' in the little tag line. . . I chose to smile and file the design as I've got a rep already and that's just not gonna help 
I still sport my 'I fix $10 haircuts' shirt on the regular tho when I'm feeling saucey and I do have a shirt that says 'My clients think I'm pretty awesome' so no need to put it on my cards 
Mine were not that hot when I designed them myself. I got a buddy to do my current ones for me and he's a legit designer so of course they're awesome.
