Character Business Cards by Fenton Crackshell

April 25th, 2006 1:04 AM

INSTRUCTIONS: Make business cards for your character. If you like, you may hand them out when doing tasks for the game. You may want to make a calling (or "visiting") card instead:
The essential convention was that one person would not expect to see another person in their own home ... without first leaving their visiting card with the person at their home. Upon leaving the card, they would not expect to be admitted at first, but might receive a card at their own home in response. This would serve as a signal that a personal visit and meeting at home would not be unwelcome. On the other hand, if no card was forthcoming in return, or if a card was sent in an envelope, a personal visit was thereby discouraged.

i made 3 variants of my design. before i go print, i would appreciate some feedback. also, please let me know how hard you found it to decipher the text. my intention is for it to be tricky but decipherable.

Really like it, especially if you were to print it on white glossy or matted cards (blue ink on white). Three things I'd change if this was mine would be the font used for the white text, clean up the Bart system tracks a little, and maybe space out the letter for your name so they span the whole width of the card.

All and all it's pretty pimp.

I really love the one with the bart tracks on it. It looks amazing.

hmm, the text is meant to be difficult to read; is that the problem you are having with it? or do you feel like i should use a different but still challenging font/arrangement?

making those bart tracks is a bitch.. i couldnt find any easy way to do it in illustrator. they need some more work.



thanks for responding guys

Wow, you drew them, crazy. I thought you just took them off a map.

Yea, you're going to find this funny, but I think the font is wayyyy to easy to see as letters. It's still hard to read, but once you figure out what it is it doesn't take that long to figure out. :P

Bonus point to you for hand drawn Bart tracks.

For some reason I tried to read that from right to left at first. It makes somewhat less sense.
