Just in time for a summer of art-making, I’ve gotten 250 new business cards printed, and I’m feeling very business-like. Have a look:
I wanted something simple and elegant, and I was inspired by some lovely free fonts from the League of Movable Type. The name is in “League Gothic”, the offerings are in “Ostrich Sans”.
For a while I was just mushing the text around in Photoshop, looking for the perfect spacing, but I soon realized the card was lacking something in the way of style. There’s an old brass horse—passed down from my late great surrogate Grandpa Bob Stevens—that I’ve always been particularly fond of. He has pride, strength, and a smile on his face, and I decided to put him to use as my unofficial mascot and logo.
Many thanks to H&H imaging for the stellar printing job! They turned around my submission in about two business days with flawless prints. I’m passing these babies out every chance I get, so if you’d like one of your own, send me your address and I’ll pop one in the mail.
