Always Try to Have More Business than Business Cards

It can be a lot of fun designing business cards. The possibilities seem limitless, and they are! But here's a practical word of advice: don't spend more time making your first logo than making your first sale.

Having said that, here's a selection of my successful and not-so-successful business card ideas:

I was commissioned to create this card for a publisher on her way to the 
London Book Fair. Tagxedo is the name of the tag cloud generating software
I used. I highly recommend it.

The concept here was to create a 1-page web site for an individual making the transition from newspapers and telephone books to the web. I still think the tag-line is the best.

Just plain big and bold!

Card for an entrepreneur/artist who created a line of whimsical night lights.

A title for this card might be "Computer Tutoring for Dummies". 

My message on the screen is "Let me help you."  

People who saw this were either insulted, or thought I was the one who needed help.
