Your Business Card Is Your Image
Summary: Once in a while I have to highlight something that’s just plain fun, though in this case, I also think the information is useful. We all project an image with our business cards, and I’m often surprised how dull many of them are.
Once in a while I have to highlight something that’s just plain fun, though in this case, I also think the information is useful. We all project an image with our business cards, and I’m often surprised how dull many of them are.
So take a look at what Creative Nerds over in the UK think are the 40 most creative business cards you will ever see. And there are some good ones, even though a few seem impractical to Doc—I tend to like a traditional size and style.
And just to keep this post on theme, I should note that more and more, I’m seeing people printing some very unique business cards on multi-function printing devices right in the office. You can now buy pre-perforated blank card stock at most office supply stores and with a good color printer get terrific results. The fun part is making a variety of designs—because you don’t have to buy a whole box full of cards. Doc, for example, is a man of many business cards—I change designs as often as I change identities. And that’s a lot.
Which one of these 40 designs is your favorite?

Doc
ZDNet introduces Doc (The DocuMentor), sponsored by RICOH. Through his blog, Doc will educate you about Document Management. So who is Doc? Doc is something of an enigma. He was born to a Russian ballerina and a German electrical engineer who some believe was running covert operations for shadowy corporate interests. Doc grew up in various locations in the United States, although no one seems to know precisely where, least of all Doc. His early schooling was unremarkable except for the time he was caught trying to replace all the mimeograph machines with high-tech color copiers that had mysteriously disappeared from a shipment to Albania. At MIT, he made a name for himself by transforming a large printer into a robot that hunts and eats Roombas. Professionally, he reportedly has seen the insides of more brands, versions, and generations of printer and printer-related hardware than almost anyone. Some say his obsession with paper, printing, and mechanical movement was either started by, or evidenced by, a traumatic childhood episode when he crawled inside an old Xerox 2400 and tried to print himself.
Anyway, Doc has hands on experience with stuff like printer maintenance and fleet management, but his mastery of document management leaves no stone unturned. Important issues like sustainability, security, and regulatory compliance are top of mind for Doc, as are other business technology needs like networking and IT services, making him a true blue IT renaissance man.
