Moo (new) Business Cards are coming

I ordered a set of business cards from Moo. I had been trying to figure out where to print my cards with a photograph on them (not just 4 color), and wasn’t really finding anything. Thought I would give them a try. You can link right from your flickr pictures and re-crop them in the web app, but I decided to make new images resized for the cards without my name on the front – I put all the text on the back. I ordered one set of 50, and submitted 8 different pictures. Here are a few of the ones I used. (I am showing the flickr images)

I just added this sunset pictures on flickr.

I could only use the front grouping of the trucks. Not really sure how it will look.

I had to modify the crop on the apples to get it to fit on a card.

So, I decided to create a “business card” from one of my pictures. I don’t really need a business card in the traditional sense, but it would be good to have something to hand out. I never seem to have a pen when I want to tell someone about my site. I really should put my flickr address on there too. Maybe on the back.

I’ve had some comments about the picture and the font. The font seems inconsistant and leaves some pretty big spaces between some of the letters. I don’t have kerning on elements, which is unfortunate. Not sure if would fix this font. Might need to try another.

I kind of like this picture, but others have said that it makes them think of a florist, or that it is not a striking photo, or some such thing. What do you think?
