Moo-ed!

Here are the nine designs I have created for my 100 Moo cards, which are now on order.

Each design highlights a different aspect of this blog's overarching subject, identity, with an appropriate quotation from my blog posts. Hopefully, specific cards will help me to convey to each person I network with the relevance of identity to their own field of interest—identity does have amazingly broad relevance, but then again, people's eyes tend to glaze over unless you can make it relevant to them personally.

I used Photoshop to create the designs, which was pretty straightforward. The card creation process on the Moo site was also very simple in general, although I found that every time I wanted to edit my order details, the site wiped my credit card details (without warning), which was a bit annoying. All in all, I found Moo a fun and useful service. The real proof, of course, (of Moo and of my design skills!) will be in the quality and effectiveness of the printed cards themselves.

Moo cards

Moo is a natty service that allows you to create 100 little business cards for £10, where each of the cards can have a unique design or image. For me, this nicely reflects the way we are increasingly understanding and performing our identity in a rich and multifaceted way—as well as being fun!

I decided to have a go at using Moo to create a set of weaverluke cards, each of which will show a different "identity" quote from this blog. Then I can give appropriate cards out to each individual I network with—an "identity politics" card to a political journalist, an "identity and value" card to an investor and so on. Maybe I'll even put the individual blog post URL (web address) after each quote... Lots of possibilities...

Right, time to go trawling the archives for those quotes!
