Business Card…

So, I’m trying to come up with a business card… *pulls hair out…*  Here’s what I have.  These are just concepts, I haven’t chosen one yet.

This will be on the back of whatever card I choose

 

programmer->drink(caffeine->aquiredEnergy(1000))

Just something that shows different projects I’ve worked on

Very Simple.  Easy Name-Face recognition here.

A spin off of the first card.  I was going for a page flipping effect. The top was try 1, and the bottom was try 2.

And my first idea.  The idea revolved around ‘what is coming next’ with a game theme.

    I like the soda can one best. The projects one and the simple one with your face are very nice, but I’d like to see an indication that you’re a programmer on there.

    I’m not sure if this is true or not, but I feel it’s a bad idea to put the Marines logo on the back. Unless you are a Marine, that is to say presently. And even then… not sure how game devs would react to that. Maybe Darius has a suggestion.

    Hi Dave! Thanks for visiting!

    I wouldn’t go as far as to saying it would be a bad idea.

    First, there are plenty of game developers out there who have prior military experience or have been a part of a military family (there is a base in the center of California with about 35k Marines, 15k Family members, and about 70k retired folks that live near the base). That said, running into another prior Marine that is in this industry could be something invaluable to me.

    But more importantly, it presents something that is unique about me. While the Marines doesn’t have many direct correlations with the Game Industry, there are plenty of indirect correlations. For starters, what if I wanted to develop war games? Well, I have a wealth of knowledge applicable to that. But how about the dedication, motivation, initiative, loyalty? All of which can be backed up by a senior officer whom I still remain in contact with to this day.

    There are plenty of things that I can bring from my experiences within the Marines to my future employer.

    Final thought, and something you might think about. If you have a business card with all of your information on the front and nothing on the back, wouldn’t that be some wasted real estate?

    Thanks for writing! Take Care!
