- CD Business Cards
- Posted by Onideus Mad Hatter on June 8th, 2006
I've been thinkin about gettin some of those custom rectangle business
card size CDs:

Only I've never seen CD labels for em...suppose I could just make a
template with InDesign and then cut em out...hrmmm...of course the
other downside is that they only hold like 50 megs...which isn't very
much. I kinda like the idea of being able to at least have my resume
and few examples right in a business card though...of course the other
thing I have to think about is how many potential employers/clients
will have enough intelligence to even KNOW that it's a CD and has
stuff on it...hrmmm...

Hatter Quotes
-------------
"I'm not a professional, I'm an artist."
"The more I learn the more I'm killing my idols."
"Is it wrong to incur and then use the hate ridden, vengeful stupidity
of complete strangers in random Usenet froups to further my art?"
"Freedom is only a concept, like race it's merely a social construct
that doesn't really exist outside of your ability to convince others
of its relevancy."
"Next time slow up a lil, then maybe you won't jump the gun and start
creamin yer panties before it's time to pop the champagne proper."
"Reality is directly proportionate to how creative you are."
"People are pretty fucking high on themselves if they think that
they're just born with a soul. *snicker*...yeah, like they're just
givin em out for free."
"Quible, quible said the Hare. Quite a lot of quibling...everywhere.
So the Hare took a long stare and decided at best, to leave the rest,
to their merry little mess."
"There's a difference between 'bad' and 'so earth shatteringly
horrible it makes the angels scream in terror as they violently rip
their heads off, their blood spraying into the faces of a thousand
sweet innocent horrified children, who will forever have the terrible
images burned into their tiny little minds'."
"How sad that you're such a poor judge of style that you can't even
properly gauge the artistic worth of your own efforts."
"Those who record history are those who control history."
"Is my .sig delimiter broken? Really? You're sure? Awww,
gee...that's too bad...for YOU!" `, )

I think these things are common enough now that it shouldn't be a
problem. Back in 2000, I designed a booth for a company's presence at
MacWorld San Francisco. After supervising the setup, I had time to
cruise around the show and it seemed like everyone and their 5 dogs
were handing out those CD cards. I still have a bag full of 'em
somewhere (most at that time weren't very inventive, so just the card
itself carried *all* of the unique-factor, while the content was rather
yawn inducing). The point being, they've been around awhile. I think
I might've even gotten a few in the mail over the years.
If you really wanted to go for eye-catching, I've seen custom CD-cards
in all kinds of shapes -- like cogs, stars, etc. But you'd probably
have a much harder time finding any kind of DIY label for those. With
some of the really oddball shapes, I'd be kind of worried about their
balance, though. Google "custom shape CD" and you should find tons of
stuff.
