I'm wanting to get some business cards designed and printed, it seems like I'm always needing them at swap meets, auctions, etc.. I know that there a lot of very creative people on this site, and I'm sure that several people have their own cards printed up. Could some you guys post your cards, I could use some help coming up with ideas to get some business cards printed up for myself. Also, mention where you may have gotten your images that are used.
thanks, Tony

I don't have any of my cards here at work with me but I bought some software at office depot for $9 and made my own. You can buy the business card paper there also and run them through your printer and then they just bend and break at the seams. I bought the ones that don't leave the jagged edges.
Photos... I just used pics of my pumps shakers and globes. Hope this helped.


Looking for anything from Hoosier Pete, Platolene 500 and Red Bird.

Here are four pics I have been saving in case someone asked me for something they could use on a business card. Feel free to use them, and if you want a copy with better resolutions, email me.

I just took a picture and made a card on word perfect, I would think you have that on your computer. Go to an office supply store and buy some business card blanks. There's nothing to it.

I've done several designs in the past few years, but haven't printed any for myself. This is my latest layout. However, since I am a designer, I'd like to do a card with my own illustration, just haven't had the time. I'm willing to throw my services out for hire, business has been slowing down lately. I can get some really good prices on printing cards. For example, 250 full color cards for about $28.50. That's just the printing not the designing part.

Tony:

Like Dan, I'm a Graphic Designer/Illustrator (along with a multitude of other disciplines). LOL

I can also design something up for you using some of the hundreds of gasoline and petroliana images I have in my files.

Here is our current card...

'click' on the card above to see a larger - and much clearer - version.

These are heavy stock, digitally printed with a gloss topcoat. The resolution on the actual card is much higher than what you can see on your computer screen.

Pricing depends on quantity and S&H charges.

Later . . .

WOW! Thats a heck of a jump from asking for help to the finished product! Did you do this card yourself or just give the ideas to a graphic designer that took over? Doesn't matter, but it really looks good. Now, the question is---Does it convey the message you want to put out??
If it does, then you're in business!!
