Business Cards Ordered

Once my cards were designed, I began my search for somewhere to get them ordered, but, as previously mentioned, I wanted my cards to be letter pressed. After looking around for different places with different prices, the process of letter pressed printing was clearly more expensive. After looking at many places, I chose to go with The Paper Mint Press. While there prices were a little more expensive (not my much mind), their website was easily the most professional in appearance which gave me confidence in their ability.

I now just have to wait.

Business Cards

As part of the up and coming final show for Graphic Design at Newcastle College, I have finished my designs for my own, personal business cards. Using the logo I developed some time ago that is currently only present on this blog as the focus of the designs.

Upon completing my business card designs, I considered the possibility that the business cards may suit being letter pressed. The bold geometric style should lend itself quite nicely to this style and will generally help my business cards stand out amongst the rest.

Final Show meeting

Today was the first of, what I'm sure will be many, Final Show meetings.

While the presentation was not particularly long, it gave a good idea about the sheer amount of work that will be going into it. Things like themes, banners, invites, all need to be decided upon and made. Individuals need to print out work, produce portfolios, produce business cards, decide how to display their work. The final show team needs to organise the opening night, as well the bulk of what I have already mentioned, and that barely scratches the surface.

The final show will be taking place from 10/06/13-14/06/13 with Monday being the main, opening night. Fortunately, for me, I am not part of the planning team, so, for the moment, I can be left to developing my portfolio, leaving me all of May to get my own ideas together.
