The need to have impressive looking business cards that set you apart from the competition becomes more intense in a saturated field that has several players operating in the same business category. Like most other industries, networking for business is an important aspect of a software professionals' profile. Software is a heavily competitive, dynamic and futuristic industry. It is rapidly changing and redefining new trends. Such an evolving industry needs business cards which are modern, slick, sophisticated and progressive. Software business cards should therefore represent the forward looking trends in the industry. Express the contemporary appeal of your enterprise by using visuals of programming codes on a screen, high-end computers, technically advanced gizmos, compact discs and miniature chips. Use images of a globe and world maps to convey the international connectivity and global business applications propagated by your profession. Software professionals deal with complicated programming language and hence the business cards should look complex and cryptic. The cards can also sport the layout of a desktop operating system screen or the home page of a browser. Use shades of blue for symbolizing communication and networking. Similarly other dark and mysterious shades like black, grey and deep green enhance the technical brilliance of your profile. A smooth UV coating can add to the slickness of your technology centric business cards. It makes you come across as a person whose knowledge is deep, specialized and shrouded in mystery. For your contact information and other details, use fonts which look sci-fi slick and matrix like on a black DOS computer screen. You can also include a dialogue or quote from a popular sci-fi film, television series or novel about the power of technology. There are several professional printing companies on the internet who will offer you pre-designed templates for creating striking software business cards. Opting for these templates is a good idea if you want polished looking cards delivered in a short span of time. Go with a blank template that offers you the option of importing your visuals, logos and photographs to create highly customized software business cards. A desktop designing application can also be used to create a new template from scratch and the design can later be uploaded on the application of your online printer's website. If you want to add a dash of humor to boring looking software business cards, get imaginative and create concepts by relating them to the software programming profession. You can have a geeky looking wizard in a 'Harrypotterisque' outfit waving his magic wand over a computer screen choc o bloc with garbled codes. A popular superhero from a cult comic book can also be used to denote your 'superhuman' prowess with tricky computer codes and applications. For cards with a unique layout, go with a computer shaped card, complete with an attached card that bears your contact information in the form of keyboard buttons bearing individual letters. You can make a die cut in the shape of a computer screen for your software business cards and fill it with details about your business in the layout of intricate programming codes. |
