I'd prefer (older) EPS so my ancient cs3 copy of Illustrator can open it, but I'm happy with anything vector.

Thank you so much!

Hey guys, I split this topic, now there are separate threads for Business card talk and site update talk http://ranger.budgetauthenticity.org/fo ... =12&t=3247

I was trying to remember when I had ever started a thread about a site revamp...*d'oh

Yeah, the split function is weird, it assigns the author of the first split post as the originator.

I came across this thread the other day, this is an amazing idea and it got me thinking, it's coming up on my local medieval fair (which I intend to go to in kit) last year a lot of people asked me questions and out of those maybe I would have given a card to one or two, so I decided to see if I could get some printed, my designs are a kind of mix of the others on this thread, here's what I came up with:

Not color version
Front:

Back:

Color version
Front:

Back:

It's to the exact format my local print shop asks for and it seems like the borders are big but they say to have a 5mm blank all the way round and a 2.5mm overlap that will be cut off, I guess the only thing left is to decide weather to use the color or not? And If anyone minds me getting these printed? I don't expect to give out many, if any

My thoughts are it's better than writing the site address on pieces of paper when asked as I have in the past. I'd stick with the non-colored version. It looks better and should cost less.

Agreed, the printing prices are the same for both, I really can't decide so I'll go with your opinion, unless your outvoted before I go to the print shop :P

[EDIT] On second thoughts I don't really need the https:// on the URL, do I? If I took that out I could make the text bigger and more clear at the finished size

[EDIT2] Better?

These look cool! You can actually simplify the address quite a bit: middleearthrangers.org/forum works just fine and is much less of a mouthful.
And just a pedantic nitpick: it's always Middle-earth (only Middle capitalized; hyphenated) not Middle earth, Middle Earth, etc.

Thank you :mrgreen: Hmmm, maybe I change the address then, do you have an opinion on color vs' no color?

and yeah, the Middle-earth thing, that graphic is lifted straight from the forum header graphic, I never made it myself :P

[EDIT] Thanks for that Udwin:

Okay, bit of a necro-post here, but I wanted to share, and this seemed more logical than starting a whole new thread…
I finally got some business cards made!
These are specifically for my local Colorado Ranger group, but I have included some info on the forums here as well. They’ve got our name, a quick description, and a couple links on the front (plus a little mountainscape background I drew myself!), and then on the back, a slightly longer description and a QR code that also connects to the Linktree for the folks that can’t be bothered to type :lol:

The Linktree includes links to this forum, the Middle-earth Reenactment Society, and a few other resources as well.

Those are really nice :P and they show up how bad my 3 years ago image editing/digital art skills were, if I ever get another set of forum cards done I think I need a redesign with a less terrible background texture and correctly scaled text etc... now that I know how to do all that stuff, it won't be for a while yet...

...but on the other hand I was thinking of doing some for my YouTube channel, at some point

I really like the design and the color choices. Well done! Here’s hoping they help with the public!
