Originally when considering business cards I had wanted to wait until after the completion of my PMP unit as I felt that the work I was producing would be of a higher quality and have a more professional range of photographs. I do, however, understand the need to have a business card at all time, even if you are not 100% satisfied with the image used, you never know when you may want to give a potential contact your details.
In the long run I would like to market myself as working solely in special effects and prosthetic make-up, as this is the specialism that I wish to peruse. However, whilst I am still trying to make a name for myself it would be foolish to disregard any other potential work just because it is not within my preferred field. I therefore made the decision to print two types of business cards - one with an image exhibiting my prosthetic skills, and another that was more based in fashion editorial. This was I can choose which card I give to people depending on the type of industry that they are based in.
I made the decision to lay my business card out as simply as possible so that the information and images would stand out without being taken away from by fancy fonts and decoration. The image is on the front of the card and a plan white background with simple black writing giving my name, skills and contact details is on the back. Overall I am happy with how they have turned out, although I do still intend to update the images upon the completion of my PMP unit as I do feel that the image that I chose to advertise my skills in prosthetics does not show the best of my abilities.
