Being a grad student, you have to market yourself. Or so they tell me. Most grad students in my field have business cards for networking purposes. I designed these for a conference I went to earlier this year.
Being me, I had to make them stand out! They’re definitely crafter + archives student + designer + I heart fonts.
I created them in Picasa, saved them as jpeg’s, then print on white stock and cut them using Silhouette Studio. My name is written in Century Gothic and the bottom font is Klinic Slab.
And as if squares weren’t unique enough, I glued pages from A Tale of Two Cities to the back. The book pages were leftover from my book wall art.
What do you think? It was a pretty quick project! It only took me one evening to finish.
Adorable!!! Love the idea of making handmade ones – if you needed a whole bunch you could get them printed at MOO if you scanned the book page image for the back of it. Their cards are really nice quality.
Moo is totally on my list if I need to print more!
They turned out great! Brilliant idea. And yes, every grad student needs a business card ; ]
Thanks Jennifer!
