I've got two sets of cards: One set that I designed before I got my job that says "PhoenixAzul, Museum Professional, address, phone, e-mail, website." The back of the cards feature images from my photography portfolio (I used www.moo.com for them, and I can't recommend them enough). Another set are my boring work ones that have the logo and my work contact info. If I'm out making personal connections or in a situation where it would be inappropriate to give my work card, I give the other one. In some work situations I give both. I always have them with me, and I'm shameless about giving them out. Shameless. |
Thanks for the moo plug, because I just checked them out and think they look far better than other suggestions I've gotten for my show announcements. Are they quick?
I like this whole idea. It's genuinely never occurred to me but I think I might have some made for both social and academic situations. Sounds like a great way to stand out a little.
