Title: Business Cards Post by: schild on September 27, 2005, 10:09:50 AM So, I need some. Should I do it online? If so, where? Or should I find a local place?
Title: Re: Business Cards Post by: Strazos on September 27, 2005, 10:11:59 AM Um...Kinkos?
Also, make sure you get them colored in Bone, not Eggshell. (http://www.impawards.com/2000/posters/american_psycho_ver1.jpg) Title: Re: Business Cards Post by: WayAbvPar on September 27, 2005, 10:12:20 AM I would do it at a B&M place so you can see and feel the final product before you buy several boxes of them.
Title: Re: Business Cards Post by: schild on September 27, 2005, 10:14:43 AM Um...Kinkos? Also, make sure you get them colored in Bone, not Eggshell. Here, let me help.

Rather, damn whichever host I linked from first. It worked a few hours ago. Title: Re: Business Cards Post by: Nebu on September 27, 2005, 02:46:38 PM I recommend visiting several B&M places (not Kinkos).
Your card displays more than just the information on it. Make sure that the cards you choose make the stament you want. Color, scheme, and texture will give the person receiving it a sense of your professionalism. Go someplace that can give you some samples of their work. Also shop cost... some places are pricey. Title: Re: Business Cards Post by: AOFanboi on September 28, 2005, 09:39:09 AM Got an inkjet? I bought some business card software and special, perforated thick paper designed for that software. Wasn't too expensive, and you can print as many as you need instead of like 1,000 or whatever the printer's minimum is.
Here's the software (http://www.decadry.com/en/expub/presentation.asp) I bought. Works great. Title: Re: Business Cards Post by: voodoolily on September 28, 2005, 09:43:06 AM You can do better than Kinko's or at-home. Go for a nice linen card stock with thermography. Mmmmmm....thermography. Black-on-black has a look to it, methinks, and matches your effervescent personality.
Title: Re: Business Cards Post by: CmdrSlack on September 28, 2005, 12:04:44 PM I have some nice linen-textured avery cardstock that I use. It works just fine. Maybe if I was trying to be some fancy, big-firm attorney, I'd go to a printer. Of course, when you work FOR someone, you generally get your cards for free.
Using an inkjet printer and doing it at home is great if you need them in a pinch, and it's not too bad to drop 10 or 20 bucks on a pack of perfed cards to hold you over until the real printer can get that stuff done for you. If you can wait, and don't have a budget, I guess go for the printer. Title: Re: Business Cards Post by: Cheddar on September 28, 2005, 01:29:01 PM Whats with the business cards?

Title: Re: Business Cards Post by: voodoolily on September 29, 2005, 10:29:10 AM I actually agree with Shockeye about something! Fancy that. Freddie Prinze Jr. is married to Sarah Michelle Gellar and is the son of Freddie Prinze of "Chico and the Man".
Title: Re: Business Cards Post by: Pococurante on September 29, 2005, 10:39:13 AM Great show. Shame about Freddie senior.

Title: Re: Business Cards Post by: Pococurante on September 29, 2005, 11:23:36 AM I don't see anything wrong with a Hitler avatar. Sorry. I guess I'm just not PC enough to be a true F13'er. Sometimes there is courtesy, sometimes there is political correctness. There is a difference. Title: Re: Business Cards Post by: Cheddar on September 29, 2005, 11:28:56 AM It was not Hitler, first off. It was a baby DRESSED as Hitler. Second, this is F13.net. There was no nifty Nazi propoganda attached to the image, no racial slurs sprawled across it, nothing of that sort. It was a BABY. Dressed as Hitler.
If you find this offensive, and politically incorrect, then perhaps you should evaluate how you perceive things. Title: Re: Business Cards Post by: Signe on September 29, 2005, 11:43:36 AM I don't see anything wrong with a Hitler avatar. Sorry. I guess I'm just not PC enough to be a true F13'er. Sometimes there is courtesy, sometimes there is political correctness. There is a difference. Of course there's a difference. I don't see what courtesy has to do with a baby hitler avatar. Who's he being discourteous to? The baby? Hitler? I see that Horde baby Hitler all over the place as avatars now. I don't know if that's the one Cheddar had because I didn't get a chance to see it. If that's the case, then even much less hard edge boards seem to allow it. Anyway... I don't make the rules and I'm not a board activist so I probably won't invest much time arguing the point. I'll just leave you with this thought: (http://spoofe.tripod.com/pics/Acid%20Trip%202.jpg) Now you know my view on nearly everything. Title: Re: Business Cards Post by: Cheddar on September 29, 2005, 11:47:44 AM Yes Signe, it was the Horde baby guy. Shockeye has been a dick ever since I got my kids to flip off Tazel (refer to my sig). But oh well, his sandbox, his rules. God I need something to keep my mind off of smoking... I finally put down the cancer stick and its killing me. Guess I'll go run a couple miles, that should help.

I finally put down the cancer stick and its killing me. Guess I'll go run a couple miles, that should help. Take a shot of ice-cold vodka and eat a jar of pickles. Spicy garlic dills, specifically. They only have three calories, so you won't hafta worry about getting fat. On second thought, if you have the girls you should refrain from the shot of vodka. Whenever I was having a bad craving I would just eat pickles. Or you could bake a loaf of bread. Or jump some rope. Or eat some pickles.
