I love my new namecards!
It looked pretty cool when it first came out in 2005(!) but as time goes by, it started to get a little embarrassing to go around with my old namecard.
Being the cheapskate frugal person that I am, I thought that I’d just use a marker pen to cancel out the outdated information like the job title and the phone number. It was only when I was at an event, handing out my cards that I realized at how unprofessional it was.
Finally I decided to design new cards. I got them from the printer last evening and I love it!
This is the front :
I wanted the front to have a simple elegance to it.
I used the pic (which I love) Farinelli took of me and omitted the phone number as well as the job status to make it evergreen. I didn’t want the typical namecard, hence I tried to made it more warm by being conversational.
And this is the back :
My favourite colour is green :-)
Here are some of the cartoon characters that I drew and am very proud of - Cart and Rinaz cartoon as well as the characters from the Nimmo and friends series
I printed the cards at Tommy’s Print after reading Claudia’s post. At $24 for 200 pieces, I think the price is even more competitive than the ones at Bras Basah Basah Complex which is a hot spot for digital artists.
So what do you think of my card? :-)
Sidenote : Would you be interested in a lipdub project?

I think if you made it all green ard… it will be nicer. Now it looks like 2 different cards.

Dingo
Yay! Thank you! :D
Krisandro
You mean green in front and green at the back?
I guess that would make it more uniformed looking but I wanted the front to look simple and in a way, two for the price for one seems pretty not bad … hehehehe :-)
Eileenbean
*Ahem*

Claudia

May 16th, 2008 at 11:15 am
OOO good good good! Can start charging royalties. :D Ahh the possibilities…
Lovely design. Although people may find it weird why you splashed the entire back with pics. I personally would have thought of something to put in. “What I do” or something…

Of course you can! Thats the whole idea of a namecard, its for sharing :-)
Besides, 200 namecards is quite a lot and will probably last me for a long time!
Nadnut
I’ll pass one to you the next time I see you! Hahaha! I’m even carrying a box with me in my handbag!
And do blog about your namecards soon :-)
Farinelli
Royalties for which cartoon? Actually I’ve copyrighted the cartoons a long time ago and was contemplating for a patent for it :-)
The back part of the card is inspired by Moo Cards. Plus it does reflect what I do. I can do cartoon illustration using Macromedia Flash :-)
Daphne Maia
Imagine a hello kitty namecard! That’ll be swell! :D
Miza
Woah! Even Jessica Alba does lipdubs?! Thats amazing!
May 16th, 2008 at 5:52 pm

Hendri
Go! Go! Make your own cards! Its fun! :D
Miccheng
Thanks! I like them very much myself and I’m sure they will last for quite a while. 200 pieces is quite a bit :-)
Nana
Hahaha! Time to throw away that card and get the new one! A lot of details there are outdated anyway :D
Fudge
You could take a train to City Hall mrt station and then walk past CHIJMES and you should be able to see Bras Basah Complex :-)
In a way Bras Basah Complex is better if you are in a hurry as they are able to print for you in under a day (but for 2 times the price)
