Personal ID card
I’m a photographer interested in people and therefore I’m very often in contact with people. Most often I met those people the fist and last time, e.g. people at film festivals or street photography. Sometime I have an event badge but there are never the infos included I like to exchange.
Intro
I run my own business with no marketing budget. I use business cards and this personal badge to promote my business. The business cards I use for formal contacts the badge at events and on the street. The reactions are very positiv!
They like the idea and also my very personal design.
Design
I have different badges for film festival photography, analog photography, street photography and location sound. The design is according the needs described above.
Here I show my film festival badge. The photos shown on the film festival homepage are black & white and therefore the design of the badge is also black & white.
Required Materials
- High quality paper.
- Credit card protection sleeve.
- Key ring.
- Strap, I used a shoe lace.
Required Tools
- Ruler.
- Knife or scissor.
- Eyelet Plier.
How to Do It?
The most time I spent with the graphics design. The making is simple: print it, cut it, fold it, put it in the credit card sleeve and finally punch a hole with the eyelet plier and install the eyelet.
Just do it!
My Recommendations
It looks best if you use high quality paper. As a photographer I recommend ILFORD Galerie Smooth Perl.
