Business Cards
February 1, 2009
As I mentioned back in November, last year turned out to be a much busier year of building web sites for clients than anticipated (view post). Late in the spring, I realized I needed to take my company name (“Amesbury Web”) and develop a logo, a web site, and content around it. The last step in this process was getting new business cards. My friend Julie took my logo and created a really nice design. I love the way she integrated the logo in white-on-red for the back and gray-on-white for the front; the rounded corners on the cards were a nice touch to match the logo. I sent the design off to the printer and got a box full of cards this week.
Last year was also a busy year for my myth studies. I launched my online myth magazine Journey to the Sea back in July, and I have now published eight monthly issues. When Julie gave me the different design concepts for my freelance cards, I thought one of them would look great for Journey to the Sea cards. She changed the background from red to blue, replaced the rounded rectangles with seagulls, and generally tweaked the design to produce something that looks quite nice. I added a small box of these cards to my order, which will be useful for promoting the site.
It has been an incredibly fun process putting these two brands together, and I expect great things to unfold for both of them in 2009.
