When I first started this business I had some business cards made.
\nI didn’t give it much thought and threw them together pretty quickly.<\/p>\n

I’ve been talking about new cards<\/a> for quite a while now and one of the members of Business Leads Exchange Networking Group<\/a> that I attend is a graphic designer and illustrator named Dan Szwedko<\/a>. I know Dan pretty well from the meetings and I like his work. What I thought I’d do is to get a fresh perspective on my card design.<\/p>\n

One of Dan’s promotion ideas is that if you’re only printing on one side of your business card you’re also wasting valuable advertising space that you already own. He has a special on two sided business cards.<\/p>\n

I gave Dan my logo, my company colors and the text that I wanted on my card. Those of you who read this blog know that I like black text on a white background. It’s always the easiest to read.<\/p>\n

I let Dan know this as well and being an artist Dan wanted to add some color to my card. I told him to use my colors any way that he wanted.<\/p>\n

He sent me this back…<\/p>\n

\"Business<\/p>\n

I must admit that I think the color definitely gives it some style and looking at it I realized that if we flipped the gradient background and put the tan on the top, all of my contact info will still be black on white.
\nSame with the back.<\/p>\n

I really like the ghosted logo Dan added on the back so I kept that and added a bit more text.
\nI am very happy with the final product.<\/p>\n

If you would like to take advantage of my freind Dan’s special of 1000 two sided cards for $47.95, plus a flat fee of Only $25.00 for layout. Just visit his site dsgraphics.net<\/a>. It’s quality work at a great price and he will even include Free Shipping!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
