I'm looking to create a few hundred business cards for my photo gig.

But I had a few questions and can't seem to find the answers I'm looking for. Is there anyway possible that I can create my own business card and upload the file to a website or someone to print it exactly like I made it? Can anyone give me some pointers or places to go to or people to speak to?

I've already worked on the design that I want to you, I just need a way to implement it onto a matte black card. I would try it myself but I don't have access to a good printer capable of doing a few hundred cards.

i got mine from www.vistaprint.com ...i used one of their templates that they already had but they do have options of creating your own template with your own custom images...and they are very good price wise...they sent me 1000 cards, a metal card holder, and mailing labels for like $35 plus shipping, which was another $15 since i priority mailed them...i had no trouble with them and that is the company all my buddies use for their cards...

The tasteful thickness of it.
Oh, my God. It even has a watermark. "

I believe in taking care of myself and a balanced diet and rigorous exercise routine. In the morning if my face is a little puffy I'll put on an ice pack while doing stomach crunches. I can do 1000 now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial mask which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion."

Alex,

In the future, you can use Adobe Pagemaker to make your own business cards. There is a template you can choose that formats the size and number of cards to the business card paper that you can buy at Officemax / Staples. I do that myself, choosing the glossy business cards with clean-edge tear-offs.

If you dont have Adobe Pagemaker, there may be a template in Microsoft Word for business cards. Ordering cards nowadays is pretty cheap, so I wouldn't go out and buy the software just for cards.

What you have looks nice.

If interested, my wife has made buisness cards for buisnesses before with great success. She is the expert, but I believe you could easily upload what you wanted and have her make them.

"is that bone?!" I was thinking of American Psycho when I read the thread title. Looks good. Send me a few so I can pass them around.
