Professional Business card examples

Using Pinterest I was able to gather some ideas of what is inspiring for a business card which fits the creative industry. The board http://uk.pinterest.com/charleehulbert/creative-business-cards/ is comprised of many different formats, appropriate for different industries. I found a lot of photography, graphic design and illustration based cards a lot more inspiring than the make-up ones which says a lot about the importance of making a different business card in this industry. One thing I really took away from WOP in level 5 was the idea that being in a creative industry, my monochrome all text plain business card wasn't showing off my skills as much as I had liked, therefore adding an image onto the card could make all the difference.

 One of my particular favourite cards is the plastic see through card located at the centre bottom of the screen shot. This is a really nice example of a photographic yet creative way to demonstrate my work, and would work really well with some of my make-up images. I also like the cut out image on the right however don't know how make-up could be displayed on this card.

Above are mainly make-up artist cards, which apart from the hair grip idea on the lower left image, are very simplistic slightly coloured but not exhibiting the make-up skill of the artist. Therefore within my new designs I would like to experiment with using image on the business card
