Moo Cards!

Got my Moo cards today from http://www.moo.com/



And no, I don't get kickbacks... I just like the idea of being able to fork over a card to someone I meet while out shooting or at a karate event.

I just got some done, and love them too.

One thing to watch out for: I did a split image/text design for the back, and assumed the black background of the text would match the (pure) black on the image I used, so it would blend seamlessly. The text's background printed a little lighter, so there is a seam.

For my next batch, I've already designed up a full-card image with the text and picture I want on it. You'll get a lot more control over the fonts and layout this way, I'd recommend for anyone doing cards there to take the time to do the back as a full image.

Nice cards iggy - I've seen lotsa moo cards and normally they are well done - pricey - but well done...convenient too.
I might just get a set.

Ha! Lol, I just got some done too! They are great! Thought they would be handy since I spend so much time in urban areas photographing. Give out a card and people are more accepting of you.

If you buy the cards there's no Moo.com on them is there?

[JAS_Photo]

No, just the text you specify and the pics you choose, Marco.

They are something of a phenomenon on flickr : click here

Yeah I've been seeing them for well over a year now and actually ordered a sample pack that looks pretty good. Just wanted to triple confirm that if I pay there is no distracting advertising.

Thx!

I think I'm going to give the notecards as Xmas gifts this year. I figure I'll print off a bunch of my photos and use the best ones of the year.

Almost handmade gifts and my family (especially my Mum) loves that sort of thing. Maybe do up a bunch of 2010 calendars as well.
I ordered some cards for a test run as well to see what they look like before I go ahead. Figure I'd put Professional Chef and Amateur photographer as my "title".

I just purchased photo quality blank business cards and made my own, much cheaper. I looked at the moo cards and had thought about getting them but at the rate I hand out cards these days it would cost me a small fortune. So I picked 20 photos I likes and set up my business card program to put a separate photo is each space, takes time to set up, and save the template and print them, and I put all my info on the back of the card. Just between the cost and the shipping to me it was just not worth it when I can do the same thing almost myself. If I didn't hand out as many cards as I do I would have got some.
