Business Card Front

After seeing Jon's business card in his Flickr photostream, I thought it was the best idea I've seen yet on how to easily promote myself as a photographer and answer those "Why the hell are you taking a photo of that thing?" glances that I always seem to get anywhere I am.

Printed by www.overnightprints.com. They did a fast, very cost efficient, great job. Is it possible to do all three? Yes, yes it is.

Bigger is better

If the quality is as good as it looks in the photo those prices are really good. I'm going to have to do this for my multimedia business.
