Another Friday is upon us, creative cats! It's been a tough week for me, balancing school work, upkeeping my apartment, taking care of my fur munchkin and finding time to relax.
When I feel like I've been grinding my gears too hard, I find peace of mind by experimenting with graphic design. It provides a creative outlet for me when I feel overwhelmed by the pressure of "do this, not that" in my day-to-day life. I get really stressed out when I feel like I'm being forced to live a linear life with only one "right" direction. Being creative grants me the freedom to do whatever I want to do. Also, it gives me the chance to make something awesome to share with other writers, designers and entrepreneurs!
This week's freebie focuses on personal branding through business cards. Whether your brand is new on the market or well established, it's crucial to have a business card handy at all times for a few different reasons:
- It's your pocket-sized resume. A business card, whether for your business or just for you as a person, represents a short-and-sweet version of your professional skills.
- It's a great branding tool. A business card is a priceless medium for marketing yourself to potential employers or clients. Great business cards not only describe the person or business but also project the brand identity by using typography, logos and color theory.
- It's a great networking tool. Exchanging business cards with someone is an easy, quick and cheap way to make an impression. I keep nearly every business card I get. Usually the next day, I look up that person's website or social media account they provided on their card.
