printing cards
A business card. That seems like one of the first things you would need when you’re starting your own business, to send along with samples of your work and to give to like-minded people you meet. That and a promotional postcard.
Somewhere in the busy hubbub of making journals, filling orders, and befriending artists and designy folks, I skipped that step, and now, a year and a some-months later, I’m working on printing my first set of cards. I was completely befuddled as to where to start, and it’d be a very daunting task if I didn’t have Shawn helping me.
The process has really pushed me to think more about what Five and a Half is, how it’s perceived, and what I’d like it to be seen as. Musing over those things, I’ve been looking around to see how other businesses define and shape themselves, and here are my favorites: Muji, Russell + Hazel, and MarieBelle.
good luck! it’s always interesting to create a business card and self reflect. i’m excited to see what you come up with.
