I finally got around to creating my business card! Actually, I’ve designed my business card several times but never got it printed. This time around I really needed to get it done so I designed and ordered my cards on Moo.com. I didn’t use my former designs because my tastes have changed over time, and I’ve gotten better at design. I also designed it for Moo’s printing specifications. As I’ve discovered, they use the European-standard size for business cards – that made it quite hard to find a mockup to display my card.

As they allow you to upload multiple versions of your business card, I chose 5 different colours to make 5 different business cards. I want to ask people when I hand them out what colour they prefer, which might make it a slightly more memorable experience. Also, I will probably only get these printed once before I design something new, so they will be limited edition cards. My main logo colour is turquoise, but I chose 4 more colours. I kinda wanted a pastel rainbow thing happening. I really love colours, although I didn’t want to go too bright for this as I wanted it to fit well with what I already have.

I chose to get it printed on 100% recycled paper to be eco-friendly. They should be arriving early next month.
