Shiny New Cards
April 13, 2010 at 06:19 PM | categories: Planet Ubuntu, Ubuntu | View Comments10.04 is two weeks away, and with that is some new branding. You know what that means: new business cards. Martin Owens has already created a nice design to use. I decided to go a different direction and create a simpler white card:
The template for Ubuntu Members is available here. Save & open in Inkscape; I haven't found any other viewer that will properly display the layout. (It won't look too well in your browser, either.)
Several notes:
- Please make sure you are an official Ubuntu Member before using or printing these cards, otherwise you don't necessarily have the right to carry them.
- I recommend printing with Vistaprint, because they are cheap, the cards are of good quality, and that is what I designed the template around.
- It's formatted for 90mm x 52mm, based on dimensions provided by Vistaprint.
- When exporting for printing, use PNG at 300 DPI (sample output here). Normally I'd recommend using PDF, but it doesn't turn out too well for this layout.
- Stay inside the bleed border, shown by the light blue lines in the template, unless you know what you're doing.
Enjoy.
