Rebranding…and some new business cards. 10:31 pm
I know I mentioned a while back that I was working on a “realign” here, and I hope that I’ll finish that sometime in the near future. So while I’m at it, I’ve been thinking about doing a little “rebranding” as well. elliotswan.com would be more of my central hub for all my online activities, rather than just my blog.
It would keep things much simpler.
I’d of course keep the big focus on the web design and development, but I’d also give a little more space to my photography, which I’ve really been getting into lately.
And instead of always referring clients to elliotswandesigns.com, I’d like to be able to refer them here.
This way, whether I’m referring people to my blog, my photography, or to my portfolio for business, I can refer them all to the same place and they can see where to go from there.
So, I created some new business cards today (please excuse the annoying flash on the table):
What do you folks think of both the plan and the business cards?

I eat food. I listen to music. I sleep. Sometimes. I drink lots of coffee. I make pretty pictures. I talk to people. I believe in things. I write stuff. I take photographs. I have a laughing addiction. I am human. 
I’ve had similar visions in the past, but it can be tough to rein in one’s various Internet presences. Here’s a guy who does a good job of it: Erik Benson. It can seem a little stream-of-consciousness at times, but I think that’s Erik.
Simple, under-stated card. I like.
As I told you before I really like your card. Simple and to the point. As far as the ‘realign’ I will believe it when I see it
- - just kidding.
I think having ElliotSwan.com be the main hub is a good idea - - then have all the rest as - sub parts of it (ie… ElliotSwanDesigns, and etc…)
That is one reason why I love the web so much - - so much to do and so little time to do it in. (as I write this I of course am thinking of my two newest, greatest, and best’est’ ideas/sites just launched and have one more up my sleeve.)
I love the web!
Like I said when I talked with you, looks good. Though from from the looks of that photo you could maybe try to find a way to cut them cleaner.
@Adam: It’ll definitely be a challenge, but that’s part of the fun.
@James: Actually, I’ll believe it when I see it too. I’ve been so busy lately, my own site has sort of dropped to the bottom of the list, but hopefully I can pick it back up again.
@Isaac: Yeah, I think I need to calibrate my printer. Though, I actually like the rough edges.
@All: Thanks!
Nice business card!
