So I have this idea that I wanted to share with the 4 of you. (I can't wait until I can say with the community.) I'm about ready to tell my friends, colleagues and students I meet at speaking engagements about my blog. I whole heartedly believe that if i keep it up, and give mostly students and maybe even professionals an insight into working and living in the city, that this thing can resonate.
The first step is making "blogness cards" (I'm so desperately trying to coin a web 2.0 phrase it's pathetic) to hand out to my potential audience. But the last thing I can do is spend money on them. So I thought like Koby, Tiger and Alex B. before me (did you see that cheesy Yahoo ad he made?), I'd get sponsored. I'd like to take this business card concept (click the thumbnail) to printer and paper supplier friends of mine and see if by patting them on the back, I'd be able to cheaply promote myself on the front. Let me know if you guys have any thoughts or opinions about the card.
The copy on the back is strictly for placement. To learn more about my potential sponsors, visit mohawk.com and pictorialoffset.com.
er...that is blogness cards.

I think what stoner meant to say was that concept trumps ugly and this is absolutely the case. but, not the case with you. SNAP!

Sorry mimster, I guess I touch a cord on you found, broken, Fluxus piano. But I still love you.

Excuse me jimmie. I never said that design overrules concept. Design only works with a strong concept (and I should know). So please take your gay Latino black pink elephant out of the room and keep it out. sheesh~

Comeon! mimster, this is a concept, and any concept will kick any design ass, anyday of the week.
If you dont believe me watch celebrity deathmatch, Duchamp vs Mimijung...

me no like...its ugly. But I guess that's the point. I don't like cards too designed with personal logo an all but this is...just ugly.
