\"Brian<\/a>

New business cards featuring a shot of my drive to work.<\/p><\/div>\n

My new business cards just arrived.<\/p>\n

It’s been a while since I worked for a company that prints them and they are very handy to have. All too often I’m scribbling my name and phone number on a scrap of paper that I know will be promptly lost.<\/p>\n

I found this image in vista print and it looks just like a farm that I pass every morning on my way to work. Unfortunately, the tools on vista print are pretty limited so I found myself working in paint.net and tweaking things until I got it just right.<\/p>\n

The commercial offered 250 cards with free shipping for only $10 buckers so I got sucked in fast. Unfortunately for my bank account the up-sells and premium options quickly added up to ~$30 but I’d say it was worth it.<\/p>\n

\"Showing<\/a>

Back of Brian’s business cards showing notes section.<\/p><\/div>\n

I ended up putting a notes area on the back so I can leave personalized messages in a more professional way.<\/p>\n

If I end up printing the second set with less “personal” information on them I’m going to make sure to feature a headshot of myself to help people remember who they were talking to (something I wish everyone would do).<\/p>\n

Next time your by be sure to snag one for your card file (or if you’ve made it to the 21st century ya’ can scan it with your phone…)<\/p>\n
