Business cards designed and printed for a client
Cards created and used when I was raising money to pay for Lucky’s vet bills.
My business card design for Kittyloaf Designs.
Simple business card design created as quick sample Our anniversary is coming up- get an identity package including logo, business card layout, letterhead, and a web page design for $250.00! This would normally cost at least $400 for this package. Logo design will have three initial concepts, plus up to five revisions. Web page design will have one initial concept, and up to ten revisions. It does not include coding- design only. Please see the menu at the top of the page to see samples of my work and further details of how I do things around here. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to ask me. I will answer as quickly as possible. This great deal will run until the end of this month. The soap stamp project is on hold even though the artwork is done and paid for. We’re waiting to hear back from another location that also mills them. I’ve got a new project to work on now in the form of business cards for my boyfriend and his friend/roommate. They want cards made up for their car repair business. Normally you have a logo to build off of, but they don’t have one, and the only feedback they can give me is “simple”. I came up with four entirely different designs for them to look over, one of which I don’t like at all (looks too childish) and two that I quite like. The other one is nice but I think it needs a little fine tuning. But that can wait until I can get some more definite feedback from them. I’m hoping what we end up with looks good enough to toss into my portfolio of work, but who knows what they’re going to pick. I can only steer them so far towards something better. Once a design is settled on, I’ll be off to Blockbuster Print again to place the order for them. I’m still thrilled with the way my cards turned out, and they really do have the best prices on the web for printing. My business cards came out really nice, and were printed and shipped quickly. I will definitely recommend Blockbuster Print to anyone who needs good, quality business cards. I chose to get the 16pt premium paper with UV gloss on the front only. There are lots of other options, but these fit my wants, needs, and my budget. I am very happy with them. I checked the status of my business card order, and it says they are “in print”. I’m starting to get nervous now. Once they get here, I have no excuse for not trying to promote myself. I asked my mom if she would pass out cards for me at work and she said yes. I also asked my friend if she would pass some out if I mailed them to her (she lives in Oregon) and she said she would. I’m also contemplating asking people I have worked for if they would mind passing out a few cards for me if I mailed them to them. Can’t hurt to ask, right? They can always say no. I’m also trying to come up with some clever ideas for faux logos so I can expand my portfolio a little more. Really looking for some fun and colorful ideas. Does anyone have any suggestions? I just need a few ideas to start my brain rolling. While I have been an avid blogger since 2003, I have never used a blog for business reasons. This will be a first for me. I know blogs can be an excellent way to get attention to your website, and can be instrumental in keeping people there. I won’t be complaining about clients or begging for more work here. Instead I’ll be talking about new projects and my business in general. While I have been working both as a freelancer, and for various companies, I have never really set out to get myself noticed. Most of my work has come in via word of mouth- a client telling a friend or co-worker about me and my services. That’s nice and all, but it only goes so far, especially when the world you are working in has a limited number of people in it and there are several others competing for their business. Recently, I finally settled on a logo design for Kittyloaf. I had tried several, but none of them were quite right. The one you see up above in the header image was the winner. It’s clean, smooth, colorful, fun, clear, and a little whimsical- pretty much everything I like to see in a logo. Once I drafted it, I set out to “draw” up a business card layout. Doing print work has always made me a little nervous. Once it goes to print, its permanent. Digital files can always be tweaked or adjusted. That done, I ordered the business cards. I’m also planning to take out an ad in our local newspaper once my finances are in better order. I am hoping between the business cards and the ad, I will get noticed and be able to draw in some regular work. I’ll keep you posted. |
