It’s business time…episode 10,000
October 19, 2009 § 2 Comments
I have finally managed to settle on a design for my business cards..hoorah! I hastily decided to screen-print onto the back of some reject prints from a previous uni project and they have actually come out quite well. (I’m as surprised about this as anyone)
The nice things about them is that they have been reused 3 times now, the original design was from printer’s rejects that i made into a collage, which was then made into a poster which is now on the back of my business cards….i wonder if I could use them again some how? A necktie for rodents perhaps?…I’m joking. I blame the fatigue of waiting for my 6.30am flight to Istanbul….I am going for the Grafist festival at Mimar Sinan University where they are running workshops all week with Phil Baines and some other European designers so I am expecting it to be quite intense. I feel I haven’t designed anything in about a decade..apart from my business cards of course.
Speaking of ‘green’ things i saw a lecture by Futerra this morning at The School of Life and these were lovingly made by the programme assistant…they have little wind turbines on them, made me smile.
I really like the idea of recycling, especially reusing work 3 times! very clever and really appeals and works with the current campaigns in today’s world.

Thanks! This was more necessity than careful planning as I needed something quick before I went away, but goes to show how some things don’t really need to be over-thought too much.
