Business cards | Front

Related to issue #6 on the back design of the business cards.

[iteles]

The option that's not here of course is plain white on the back with just the lettering and a small dwyl icon next to the name.

[iteles]

@nelsonic I realise the twitter and the internet icons are the wrong way round 🙈 but please let me know if you like any of these or would just like the back to be plain. They need to be at the printers tomorrow (Wednesday 24th) morning.

[nelsonic]

Cutting off the logo is not an option. I'm "not fussed" what you do with the rest. this is an Alpha business card.

[nelsonic]

Any reason why you cannot re-use the design from the T-Shirts?

[iteles]

This is the back, having anything other than just writing here is just to add visual interest. The front is where we can just re-use the t-shirt design.

[nelsonic]

I don't need my card to be "visually interesting" I need it to be plain but informative.

[iteles]

@nelsonic No border on the actual card, this is just to give an idea of whitespace:

[nelsonic]

@iteles we can test this text on the landing page. Its too wordy and not enough of a draw when printed on a card.

[nelsonic]

Instead I would write a _question_ on the card:

Do you ever get to the end of a day and wonder where the time went?

or

How do you know what the most important thing is to work on?

[iteles]

Are you spending your time on your most important tasks?

I feel like any of these phrases don't work too well on business cards, they just seem to be in a tone different to the one we want to go for 😟

[nelsonic]

Ok. please make a decision. thanks.

[iteles]

Getting 100 /websummit of these made for each of us.

[nelsonic]

100...? is that how many people you are expecting to interact with? fair enough.

[iteles]

No, we'll have 200 business cards each, which will also give us an opportunity to trial the idea of sharpie-ing on routes. I can order more Nelson, just tell me how many you want with the /websummit route please.

[nelsonic]

If you are happy with 200 cards, please place the order.

[iteles]

Alpha business cards done. Road testing these at the Web Summit in a couple of days and gathering feedback on anything that confuses people or questions they ask.

@markwilliamfirth what do you want yours to say?
