So for Graduate Fashion Week and part of our last self promotion module we had to design and print business cards for people to take. The front of mine was the blog title and then a picture of my glasses. However, I realised after them being printed and being sent to Graduate Fashion Week ready to be put out on the stand that I had written the wrong blog address.
I had originally wanted this blog to be called Rosie Tinted Glasses as a play on words from Rose Tinted Glasses. As my name is Rosie, and I wear glasses and this is all about the hazy future I thought it was quite fitting. However, Rosie Tinted Glasses had been taken already, so I decided on Rosie Tinted as the address but Rosie Tinted Glasses as the title. Anyway this all sounds very confusing, so to cut a long story short, I accidentally put the wrong address on my business cards, and only realised after they had been printed. Here is the front of the business card....as it had been printed.
The front. WRONG.
The back. Right.
Due to the printers machines breaking, I was left with no contingency, and spent the whole night I realised looking for 24 hour printers. This wasn't going anywhere, and after talking to my Mum we came up with the idea of using a Dymo Gun (a label maker in which the font I used on my card is taken from) to make labels and stick it over the error.
This wasn't ideal, and after spending my train journey down to London and the whole evening before Graduate Fashion Week typing out labels I was more that dubious about how it was going to turn out.
However, after finishing some of them off I was actually really happy. I felt it added texture to the cards, and gave them a little something extra. I also knew it hadn't turned out too badly when my pile of cards was going down faster than I had thought.
Anyway, here is how they looked after all the drama.
