Designers showing off their stuff!

07/16/09 by christian | Blog | No Comments »

I just realized I have two requests out for graphic designers to show of their work on printedproof.com. I apparently have a weakness for promoting great design work.  Perhaps its just a good excuse to spend more time on my website than actually doing any work. If you are reading this check out below for a chance to show off your stuff.

Most Creative Postcard Contest – submission deadline is Friday July 17.

If you have designed or HAD designed for you a great postcard (those things people stick into the mail and pray they get delivered by the USPS) please submit it to my group on Flickr. I will choose them best and feature them on a new post and let my viewers vote on the best ones! If you dont have a Flickr account, its free and a great way to show off your work to the HUGE community of image-share-ers on the web.

Did I mention the contest is sponsored by 123PRINT.com. These guys are giving the winner free postcards!

submit yours here: http://flickr.com/groups/printedproof

A Visual Collection of My friends on Twitter – ongoing

I am a sucker when it comes to clicking on those lists of like 100 Crazy Business Card designs. So much so that I started a new one featuring the business cards of my friends on twitter. This gives me the ability to create a huge (we’ll see how huge) list of great designs AND helps promote some great designers that I have the privilege to be followed by on twitter. I have a TON of great and talented friends on twitter, I’ll try and get them to share their cards on this post…

Here is the current list: http://printedproof.com/design/a-visual-collection-of-my-friends-on-twitter/

Want to get on the list? be sure you are following me on twitter (@printedproof) and send me a message (a way to help me spread the word to your followers) something like: @printedproof I want in on your awesome list of friends, will do.

Get more followers on your Coffee Break

OK, imagine…

You are sitting in your normal spot sipp’n a grande at Starbucks.  You happen to notice a small white card tucked halfway under the napkin holder. You pick it up and it reads…

As a caffinated twitter, would you not pick this up and at least key in the user? I know I would.

Business card + creative text + coffee shop table = more followers. Think this ads up? I challenge you to try it out for yourself. Copy my card [insert your own username for best results] or create your own card. I just sent my cards out to be printed, I am going to give it a try.

Send me your designs and I will post them on PrintedProof.com

You can print a bunch of these small business cards for less than 20.00. Check out PrintPlace.com for great business cards…
