Mr Yen Business Cards

Hello, I hope you're having a nice relaxing easter weekend! I've been back from Manchester for the weekend, where I've been training for my new job at Dwell (that will be opening in Leeds very soon) and I have had my new business cards delivered while I've been away. I got them printed with Moo.com and I decided to go for their new luxe business cards and I have to say, I'm quite impressed! These snap shots are just a little peek - I will be taking some better photographs once I get time.

These new business cards are the start of the new Mr Yen branding and they feature a photograph of a botanical silhouette of me - along with my contact details. I really like the effect of using a photograph of the paper cut as I love the fact you can see it slightly lifting off the page - giving it a slightly 3D element. I will definitely be creating some postcards using the same technique to give away with all new orders after the re-launch. Oh and check out the black middle section of the business card...very nice indeed!

I'm so excited to get back from Manchester for good, so I can work on finalising a few new paper cut designs too. I'm still planning for an August re-launch and there is still so much to do. I expect the blog will be quiet throughout the upcoming week (as I will be living out of a hotel room for six days) but when I get back to Leeds for good, it will be all systems go!

I hope you have a great week!

Mr Yen Letterpress Business Cards

It's been a long time coming, but I finally have some new business cards!
They are not just ordinary business cards either! This time I had my business cards letterpress printed by Blush Publishing and they are amazing! I couldn't recommend them enough, they are friendly, polite, helpful and considerate.

I was sent a sneaky peek of them on the press which made me very excited and I couldn't wait to get them....

When I got them in the post (delivery was very quick!) I couldn't wait to take pictures of them - they feel amazing and as I wanted the design to be quite simple I think it works quite well with letterpress and one simple colour.

I'm very pleased with them and will definitely be ordering some more when I run out - which I think might be a while as they are almost too good to give away!

Thanks Blush!

{weekend goodness}

I have recently had my business cards printed professionally to save me time and money making individual ones. I usually put only one business card in with my orders from my shop and would usually make it by hand individually for each order, but this will save so much time and money!
